Don Showalter reveals the offense that propelled the USA Basketball U16 and U17 teams to gold medals in world competition. This offense is simple enough to run at any level of competition yet effective at keeping defenses on their heels. It is simple to install and players enjoy the freedom that it allows.

Coach Showalter uses on court demonstrators to walk you through his "20" continuity offense which starts in a 1-4 high set and utilizes a ball screen on the wing to get players into what he calls the "kill area." He focuses on the details that make this offense work including the permanent pivot foot, how and where to set the ball screen, and the screen and roll versus screen and go.

Emphasis is placed on reading the defense as the ball handler comes off of the screen and Showalter teaches the reads that must be made against teams that:

• Go behind the screen
• Hedge on the screen
• Double the screen
• Switch the screen
• Show early on the screen

Finally, Showalter demonstrates how the offense can be used against a zone defense. The basic continuity remains the same but the reads change depending on the movement of the zone.

In an added bonus, Showalter takes time to provide some significant insight valuable to coaches at any level. He discusses the importance of communication and the challenges of getting players to play hard all of the time. He details the top 10 mistakes that high school coaches make and the four "C's" (Choices, Comfort Zone, Compete, and Communication) that he emphasizes with his teams.

This DVD provides coaches with all of the tools necessary to implement this highly successful offense at any level.

Learn the defensive system that moved St. John's from the bottom half the Big East in 2010 (6-12), to the top half in 2011 (12-6)--including a victory against the eventual national champion.

Mike Dunlap is widely known as one of basketball's leading strategists and on-court instructors, and he demonstrates why in this DVD. Coach Dunlap starts out with a "Review and Preview" presentation highlighting coaching tips for successful programs such as chasing ideas and understanding that your team is different every year, competitive spirit, and other great coaching concepts.

Dunlap initiates the defensive instruction in a unique way by showing actual game footage of the 1-1-3 against some of America's top teams. Important elements of this defense are sideline pins, extreme ball pressure, taking advantage of the sideline alleys, denying the high post and elbow, fronting the post, stunting, good rotations, and trapping.

After the game footage, Coach Dunlap goes into drill work on the court to teach the 2-2-1 full court press, which transitions into the 1-1-3 in the half court. He starts with 1-on-1 drills suffocating the basketball, 4-on-2 to teach ball pressure in the full court and converting to 4 O vs 2 D. Then, the team moves into 4-on-5 overload and defensive cutthroat before moving to the whole 1-1-3. Throughout the DVD, he emphasizes individual fundamental skills, including stance, specific hand skills and closeouts.

In order for any defense, zone or man to be successful, all players must move with the pass. Dunlap works this concept during his on court instruction and teaches the players the importance of "Sideline Pinning". The 1-1-3 defense will also help teams conquer basketball's most recent trend, the screen and roll offense.

By focusing on suffocating ball pressure, discipline with positioning, and rebounding intensity, Dunlap delivers the pieces you need to install the 1-1-3 defense--at any level.

This 1-1-3 is used to disrupt a team's offensive patterns and impact their greatest strengths. Coach Dunlap's complete knowledge of the system and his intense teaching style provide coaches with all of the tools necessary help develop this great defense!Produced at the Fall 2011 Omaha (NE) clinic.
