Cover: blaine taylor: scoring against pressure defense and trapping
Blaine Taylor: Scoring Against Pressure Defense and Trapping
with Blaine Taylor,
Old Dominion University Head Coach

Attacking pressure requires an organized system that players understand and can execute. Coach Taylor's first piece of advice when beating full-court pressure is deciding whether you want to score or just handle the pressure. Each approach has its own rules and mentality. He puts players in their initial positions on the floor as he begins to show this attack. He wants his team to always look for lay-ups under any kind of pressure versus shooting the first open 3-point shot available. Taylor shows four moves to score after breaking pressure, including his 17 foot-move and teaches how to get to the rim with just one bounce. Finishing the play must be taught and can involve one, two or three players - and Taylor demonstrates each. This system includes several different sets and alignments used for attacking different pressure situations. Moving to the half court, Taylor shows, step-by-step, how to beat pressure. Court spacing, ball movement and punching the paint are all ingredients for success. This system is designed to beat trapping situations, scrambles and double teams. The third segment involves throwing the ball in bounds from the side or baseline.

Cover: advantage offense: success vs. any pressure defense
Advantage Offense: Success vs. Any Pressure Defense
with Tom Pecora,
Hofstra University Head Coach

Attacking pressure defense is all about aggressiveness and allowing your team to get after opponents by extending the full court or in the half court. Basic drills allow a foundation for committing to this style of defensive play and work on "fake a pass to make a pass," creating deflections, offensive spacing and rebounding technique through "tag and pursue" (a variation of the conventional block out) and swim and spin. The next phase of this DVD is inbounding the basketball. Using the clinic setting, players demonstrate various options and techniques for getting the ball in. Face guarding creates the skill of "walking to the baseline" for a pass over the top. The 5-on-5 setting displays all of these teaching techniques in a team setting. "Four" is an attack against full court pressure that assures a safe possession against the press. The half court 5-on-5 blitz, "flash," is an effective offensive attack against pressure.
