Two-time ACC Coach of the Year Seth Greenberg takes to the court to explain how to attack both odd- and even-front zone defenses, providing the concepts that will allow your team to play to their strengths.

An effective zone offense must:

• start with the transition game
• must have players attacking the offensive glass
• players must not settle for jump shots
• there must be ball movement and player movement
• must screen the zone
• players must be able to shot fake and ball fake
• the players must be shot ready

Greenberg completes his zone attack arsenal with a two-guard offense designed to attack the 1-3-1 zone defense. In this offense, which is his variation of the famous "T-Game" offense, Greenberg wants his guards to play mid-point to mid-point, making it easier to attack the gray areas of the 1-3-1 and helps avoid being trapped on the sideline.

The key to Coach Greenberg's success at attacking zones lies in his philosophy of getting the ball to your best players in position to score. These simple rules and concepts will allow your team to play instinctively and successfully defeat zone defenses.

In this Championship Productions exclusive, two legendary coaches share their perspectives on running and defeating the 2-3 zone defense.

Philosophy of the 2-3 Zone Defense
Syracuse University head coach Jim Boeheim, who has used the 2-3 zone as his primary defense for more than 25 years, covers every aspect of the zone in this detailed marker-board session. He discusses how to teach the zone in practice using drills to help raise his players defensive IQ and take away offensive tendencies such as shooters on the perimeter, post touches inside, high post passes and covering three wing players with your two-guard defensive front.

Boeheim covers the rotations of the defense in a 5-on-5 perimeter shell drill, built up to a 7-on-5 while adding both a high-post and a low-post player. Rebounding is critical for the success of any defense and Coach Boeheim gives you the responsibilities of all five players when a shot is attempted to maximize the efficiency of your defense. He also shows how to trap the short corner, the wings, and the ball-handler up top.

Offensive Concepts to Attack the 2-3 Zone
In the second part of the DVD, former University of South Carolina coach Dave Odom tells how he attacked Coach Boeheim's powerful 2-3 defense as well as other 2-3 zones he faced during his storied career.

Odom covers the proper spacing needed to attack the zone and also how to play behind the zone to exploit the pressure it creates. Odom shows how to attack the zone through high and low post touches, skip passes and sneaks behind the bottom of the zone to score.

Odom explains how the Boeheim Zone (Hang-Out Zone) differs from a traditional 2-3 Zone (Attacking Zone) and how you should utilize ball-movement to defeat one of them and dribble penetration to defeat the other.

Odom then gives you four set plays to attack the 2-3 zone. These plays include backside screens for wide open lay-ups, inside screens that create wide-open passing lanes and rebounding position, and three-point set plays from different spots on the floor.

This is a one-of-a-kind opportunity to learn about both sides of the 2-3 zone-how to use it and how to attack it-from two of basketball's greatest coaches.

In this combination DVD Coaches Bob Huggins and Dave Odom give you a detailed insight to teaching and attacking the 1-3-1-zone defense.

Philosophy of the 1-3-1 Zone Defense
Legendary coach Bob Huggins introduces a zone defense that makes ball reversal difficult by preventing direct passes. Coach Huggins discusses the role and positioning of each individual player, how to funnel the ball to the middle of the floor where it can be surrounded by help defenders, and stop all direct passes by the offense to get great looks at the basket.

With all five defenders performing their duties, this 1-3-1 defense forces longer passes and makes good spacing much more difficult.

Coach Huggins explains his concept of help, recover and rebound. He concludes by explaining how this defense can be utilized as a late-game defense when your team has a lead and wants to force a team to be patient and "burn" valuable clock time.

Attacking the 1-3-1 Zone Defense
On the offensive side Coach Dave Odom gives his perspective to attacking the 1-3-1 zone. This offense is successful because it does not start with the typical wing entry. Instead, this simplified offense attacks the 1-3-1 zone up the middle. While this attack is unconventional, it basically provides multiple 1-on-1 opportunities.

Coach Odom, both on the court and on the dry-erase board, demonstrates how he wants to exploit the back side of the defense where most teams place a smaller, quicker guard. Odom explains how the strength of the 1-3-1 is above the free-throw line. For this reason, he prefers to keep a post player up high, utilizing him as a passer which in turn, allows him to attack the defense below the free-throw line. Coach Odom also demonstrates the use of two baseline post players if your team has trouble getting the ball in the middle of the floor.

With insights from very successful coaches, this DVD will help you improve how you attack or defend using the 1-3-1 defense.

While Mike Rice may be better known for his intense half court defense, his zone offense packs quite a punch. In this on the court clinic instruction, Coach Rice shows how to maximize your zone offense efficiency and train your players to become instinctive to attacking zone defenses.

Drills
Using several different drills Coach Rice shows how he breaks down his zone offense. Using a mixture of high intensity passing and shooting drills he shows how to make players be naturally instinctive to zone defense. These drills not only help players become better players against zone, but make them able to read defense and react to it, making them more complete players for any system.

Zone Offense
Emphasizing patience, discipline, and shot selection Coach Rice explains his zone offense philosophy, and walks through nine different zone attacks. By using both specific sets and continuity action, these zone offense attacks allow for many options to score and many options the defense in turn has to react to. These sets include 3-point options and one that will "shred any "box and 1" defense." He concludes with four inbounds plays designed to provide easy baskets and help your team" own the zone".

With the balance of sets and continuity action, Rice's offensive attack will make every teams zone offense significantly better. Order now and you will see vast improvement in your players decision making and a much more efficient zone offense.
