In Dave Odom's years of college coaching he has faced great players, teams and coaches. Throughout these experiences he has developed an extensive full- and half-court defensive attack. Odom's aggressive style has forced opponents to play from baseline to baseline, eventually wearing them down. Forcing opponents to take quick or bad shots, force turnovers, and cause fatigue are all benefits of this pressure style. Coach Odom demonstrates the man-to-man "head on the ball" drill as a foundation for all progressions of pressure defense. A key to this full-court drill is keeping the opponent on the sideline, allowing the defensive help side to set up and keep the ball from being reversed. This on-court demonstration shows how players rotate defensively once two players trap the ball. Faced with defending a quick point guard, Coach Odom introduces a scheme that counters crafty ball handlers by influencing them toward half-court and trapping before the mid-court. Another requirement for good defenses is the ability to guard the dribble. In the "guard the dribbler" drill, defensive players are forced to communicate and pick up an opponent out of their area. This entire system is flexible because it can be run aggressively or conservatively giving your opponent multiple looks. Because every game includes important spurts, this defensive approach can put your team on the offensive by applying pressure with your defense.

If your team faces pressure, this DVD can provide a game plan for being aggressive and turning your opponent's pressure defense into points! Dave Odom's system is well versed to exert pressure defensively and attack it on offense. Coach Odom shows that knowing how to apply pressure also helps his team break pressure. Emphasis is placed on attacking man-to-man pressure as well as trapping situations. With proper spacing, getting the ball to the middle, and then attacking, a team can turn pressure into points. Using a series of quick drills, Odom shows how to build a foundation for beating pressure by practicing them every day. Facing defensive pressure is inevitable and simply means that a teammate is open. That's why Odom dedicates an entire segment to passing and catching drills and highlights their importance to scoring against pressure. Coach Odom demonstrates his "Press Attack" offense against a full-court 1-2-1-1 press, which emphasizes the three pass-at-once positions. Players are taught to be in position for a pass behind, up-court on the sideline, and in the middle. When the ball gets to the middle, the attack can produce points. Next, Odom adds to his attack the "Away", "Tiger", and "Long Corner" drills. If your team faces pressure, this DVD can provide a game plan for being aggressive and turning your opponent's pressure defense into points!
