How can you make your team better in a limited amount of time? Geno Auriemma and his assistant coaches show you how to raise your team's proficiency in all phases of the game from the first day of practice.

With a virtual list of the who's who of women's basketball players having played for him, Auriemma takes you inside to show you the drills he uses to develop his players. The drills presented in this video are designed to improve fundamental skills and have made Coach Auriemma arguably one of the greatest basketball coaches of all time.

Auriemma details the breakdown between offensive and defensive focus and the amount of practice time spent on individual skill development. Particular attention is paid to designing a skill development program that incorporates the need to develop well-rounded players at every position for today's"positionless" game.

Guard Drills

Like many coaches, Coach Auriemma looks to utilize the pick & roll in a variety of ways. He utilizes unique drills designed to develop ball-handling, coming off ball screens, and making quality shots. These drills will improve the individual skill sets of players to execute offense to near perfection.

One of the guard drills utilized teaches dribble drag action. After executing a guard-to-guard dribble hand-off, the guard receiving the ball comes off of a pick & roll. The guard coming off the pick & roll executes a pull-up jump shot while the guard who made the initial hand-off touches the baseline and comes back to the wing to shoot a 3-point shot.

Another ball screen drill for the guards works on utilizing a trailer ball screen in transition. The guard executes a hesitation dribble to wait on a ball screen from the trailer. The guard then uses the ball screen to come off for a shot or a drive to the basket.

Post Skills

Coach Auriemma and his staff utilize much of their post player development within the confines of his team's offense. The breakdown drills not only develop the skills of post players, but also work on being able to execute the offense.

The first of these drills for the post players is used to work on drag ball screens. This drill is the breakdown for the post players of the earlier trailer ball screen drill the guards run. Post players work on rolling to the basket, getting set for a post feed, and pick-and-pop action.

Another breakdown is for the pinch post aspect of the offense. Parts of the pinch post that are worked on include the dribble hand-off, the look for the high-low duck-in, and penetration dribble for a pull-up jump shot.

The breakdown drill Big works on the dribble hand-off into a high-low look in the offense. A dribble hand-off begins the action before a post player flashes to the high post area to look for a pass. The player who made the dribble hand-off then rolls to the basket looking for the high-low feed.

Overall Individual Skill Development

A ball-handling drill for 12 players is introduced with the idea of attacking defenders and being able to dribble through traffic. With six players lined up along the baseline and at half court facing each other, the two groups dribble in opposite directions with five student managers attempting to make it difficult for dribblers to get through traffic. By working on dribbling the ball and executing a move to protect the ball, Auriemma's players improve their abilities to handle the ball effectively.

To execute an offense based on ball movement, passing drills become a heavy point of emphasis. One of these drills is Four Corners Passing, which utilizes short passes and longer ones. Unlike traditional versions of Four Corners Passing, the longer passes are completed over the top of heads and hands of managers in the passing lanes to work on executing good skip passes.

Three-Line Box incorporates passing, shooting, and rebounding all in the same drill. This drill features a half-court variation of three-man weave with the player receiving the last pass shooting a jump shot. The player making the pass leading to the jump shot then looks to block out the remaining player, grab the rebound, and execute an outlet pass to the shooter to complete the repetition.

Coaches and players will gain valuable insight by watching actual practice footage complete with insightful commentary by Coach Auriemma and his assistants as they demonstrate how to demand excellence from players on a daily basis.

Offensive progress often comes at a slower pace than gains on the defensive side of the ball. Hall of Fame coach Geno Auriemma shows how you can build the foundation for offensive excellence in a short period of time.

This video is a condensed version of how Auriemma and his staff install and practice their up-tempo offensive attack. Coach Auriemma teaches the offense in the half-court and progresses to transition, teaching players the 'why' behind each offensive set and how to read the defense.

By using a variety of transition drills that flow seamlessly into offensive sets, this video will help you increase the pace of play your team is comfortable executing. Different transition and secondary break sets will help streamline your offense and keep players from struggling for good looks at the basket late in the shot clock.

Coach Auriemma discusses the following keys to making your offense the best that it can be:

  • How to simplify and execute an unstoppable basic offense.
  • When and why coaches need to make adjustments to their game plan.
  • Why and how team success is related to shot selection.
  • Drills you can use to improve your transition game.

Strong, Curl, Pinch

Auriemma and his staff run their players through several different actions and set plays including Strong, Curl, and Pinch. Each action is run 5-on-0 and many options are discussed and practiced. This is a perfect example of how to teach your players the reads within your offense and set plays.

Making Adjustments and Set Plays Philosophy

Learn how the most successful program in women's college basketball utilizes set plays to augment its offensive execution. Taking a "less is more" approach, Auriemma discusses when not to use set plays and how they can hamper your team's scoring.

If your team sometimes struggles to create open looks for shooters, you'll want to pay particular attention to Auriemma's breakdown on how to utilize a dribble drive attack to free up shooters and force difficult defensive rotations.

Team Practice Drills and Breakdown Drills

Auriemma runs the team through a number of drills - at championship-level practice speed - and with plenty of teaching and corrections, starting with the Kansas drill, a full court drill with four trips where players complete different shots and actions. The first trip finishes with a lay-up, the second a jumper, third a skip pass and a drive, and fourth a drag screen action.

Another full-court drill to teach an attacking mentality and full court offense is the 5-man weave to 3-on-2 drill. Players go down in a weave and then come back to 3-on-2 with the person who made the lay-up and the last person to pass the ball becoming the two defenders. Auriemma breaks down the drill and explains how to best defend a 3-on-2 situation.

Special Situations and Baseline Out of Bounds

Coach Auriemma shares his thoughts about practicing special situations and then you'll move back to the court and see how they practice their out-of-bounds play execution. Auriemma also shows the different options that will be available.

At every stage of this video, Auriemma's principles and actions are concise and thoroughly explained. By demonstrating the "why" behind the offensive sets and drills, coaches and players will gain insight into the key offensive principles behind the game planning.

This video is jam-packed with nuggets of wisdom from Coach Auriemma from beginning to end. It will help you develop an outstanding offense no matter what age or talent level you coach!

If you were given only six days to prepare your team to play aggressive, tenacious defense, how would you accomplish that feat? In this video, the coach of the most successful team in women's college basketball shows you how to do just that.

Discover the tenets of how to construct a tough and tenacious defensive team. Geno Auriemma presents a clear philosophy to operate from and how to effectively communicate the defensive principles needed to stop any team you face.

After outlining three basic goals for every game, Auriemma and his coaching staff show you how to plan your practice and break down defensive skills into a variety of intense stations that will challenge your players every minute of practice.

Defensive Philosophy

The defensive approach begins with ball pressure. Coach Auriemma likes to use ball pressure to take the opposing team's offense outside of their comfort zone. Doing this forces more mistakes by the offense and results in more turnovers and bad shots.

Second, Auriemma works on defending the areas of the court that are the most important. The use of a line running down the middle of the court is used to get help a defender get in position to defend what is most necessary to protect against.

Third, three objectives are laid out by Coach Auriemma: eliminating transition baskets, eliminating 3-point shots, and not fouling. When these objectives are accomplished during the course of a game, it is much more difficult for their opponents to score.

Individual Defense Drills

The first key to individual defense is to get into a good defensive stance. The Stance and Slides drill teaches how to get into a good stance and how to move correctly. This mass drill, one that involves the entire team, incorporates fundamental on-ball defense. It shows that even the best players in the country don't overlook learning the basics of stance.

Next is the Zig-Zag drill with a twist from a traditional version of this drill. Each on-ball defender will go through two rounds by guarding the ball to the half-court line. When the first dribbler reaches the half-court line, the defender starts the second round by executing a closeout to the baseline. Containment of the dribble and forcing changes in direction are critical elements that are taught.

Defensive Stations

To better teach individual defense, the team is broken into groups where the assistant coaches run five minute stations to work on various aspects of defensive play. In small groups, players have a chance to learn how to better defend in breakdowns of scenarios that might arise during a game. You'll be able to see the instruction and the repetitions of players as they rotate through the various stations.

The 1-on-1 defensive station is designed to teach how to guard the basketball properly. The on-ball defender is to position herself one arm's length away from the dribbler. To simulate this, the inside hand reaches out to mirror the basketball while the other hand helps deny passes and drives to the sideline or to the baseline. Auriemma uses a live-action drill to teach these concepts with a three-dribble limit starting from each wing.

To teach defensive rebounding, a drill is devised with an offensive and a defensive player going up after a missed shot. The defensive player throws the ball off of the backboard and tries to block out the would-be offensive rebounder. If the offensive rebounder gets the ball, they attempt to score. The defensive rebounder looks to make an outlet pass if they rebound the ball.

A wing denial station is utilized to encourage an aggressive mindset and to deny passes around the perimeter. The bottom foot of the defender denying the pass is to split the feet of the offensive player they are guarding. On back cuts, the defender has to be ready to snap the head and throw their hands to see and deflect passes.

Team Defense

The Shell is a basic drill that everyone who plays man defense will run. In this section, you'll see how Auriemma uses it to teach how he wants his squad to defend, help, and rotate. Working on basic "jumping to the ball," defenders are encouraged to move quickly and attempt to deflect perimeter passes. The Shell drill can escalate to incorporate dribble penetration to work on defensive rotations as well as help and recover.

To prevent easy baskets in transition, transition defense is a point of emphasis in teaching defense. Auriemma teaches his players to sprint back to areas deep in the lane to make sure they don't give up layups. From there, the defense looks to see where the ball is and how to best prepare to defend the other team's transition attack.

With a mix of individual and team techniques, this video from Coach Auriemma will give you drills and practice insights for virtually any defensive situation.

Are you looking to establish offensive fundamentals that will generate easy baskets? In this video, Kermit Davis shares the offensive concepts that have made his team so successful, and the drills used to enhance those concepts.

Coach Davis builds his offensive system from the ground up. Using on-court demonstration, he covers dribble penetration, screens, curls, avoiding traps, and more!

Skill Development

In a half court setting, Davis presents drills that help establish the offensive concepts used in games. These drills are designed to work on multiple skills, including:

  • Screening
  • Spacing and filling spots
  • Passing off the dribble with either hand
  • Pull back dribble and finish
  • Post entry

Pull Back Dribble Drill

Players that can recognize a trap, and understand they should not dribble into it, will help your offense tremendously. With Davis' Pull Back Dribble drill, your players will be able to see a trap coming and use a pull back dribble to create space. This drill allows you to prepare your players for this part of the game, and not have to figure out how to attack it on the court. Attacking middle is a teaching point Davis uses to get his players to avoid the imaginary defender known as the sideline. This drill progresses from finishing at the rim to finishing with a jump shot.

Fast Break

Coach Davis explains the importance of easy baskets and walks you through the responsibilities of each position. He then covers how to pinch screen in transition and why this is so hard to guard on the break. Movement off the ball is demonstrated, as well as various screens that can be used.

Actions on Offense

Coach Davis' offense is a flow, or motion action, that relies on reading the ball and the defense while keeping good spacing and adjusting to others. Actions you'll see include:

  • Pistols - This is an action that can be run on the break. The key is the first player getting to the pro channel as quickly as possible. Flare screens, pinch the post, and pin downs are included in this action.
  • Pinch Baseline - In this action, you will see the use of stagger screens, getting a shooter an open shot in the corner, pick & pop, and how to deal with hedges.

Winning Culture

One of the most important keys to developing a successful program is the culture in which the players practice and play. Coach Davis discusses how to establish yours and the key points his program emphasizes, such as:

  • Process and vision
  • Don't focus on the end result
  • Teammates must enjoy another teammate's success
  • Body language

Coaches at any age level can benefit from this well-rounded offensive video from Kermit Davis!

Director of Coach Wootten's Basketball Camp

One of the most difficult things to teach players is how to get them to play basketball without the basketball. In this great on-court video featuring Joe Wootten, you will learn how to show athletes moves they can use to get themselves and their teammates open, and also help them raise their basketball IQ by teaching them to read and react to the defense.

Coach Wootten covers all areas of movement without the basketball and progresses from the basics into more advanced movements.

Whiteboard Session

The cuts and screens covered are first shown on the white board, where Coach Wootten shows the teaching process and reads that each player will make. Wootten covers curling off screens, slipping screens, back cuts, and getting open on the wing.

How to "Get Open" Without the Ball

This idea, whiles seemingly simple, is essential for all players if they eventually want to create scoring opportunities for themselves or their teammates. Coach Wootten details the movements necessary to get open on the offensive end of the floor with various cuts, including the inside pivot, L-cut, and fake inside pivot.

Coach Wootten then breaks it down into two parts: getting open on your own and getting your teammates open. With the Individual Movement Drill Sequence, players will practice their skills in 1-on-1, 2-on-2, and 3-on-3 competitive games. Every detail from setting an effective screen to who each player should read only helps in the process of creating an effective and smart basketball player. Wootten emphasizes that players avoid making their mind up in advance.

The unselfish act of "getting your teammates open" is actually one of the most selfish things you can do in basketball, as it almost always leads to you getting open as well. Coach Wootten goes through a series of screens, teaching each screen, the screener's job, and the receiver's job. This is broken down to where players at any level can begin to implement these skills. The screening concepts and moves off the screen covered are:

  • Drift Screen Technique
  • Down Screening
  • Back Screening
  • Curls off the screen
  • Reverse Curls
  • Fade Cuts
  • Pop outs
  • Slips

Ball Screen Drills

A devastating offensive strategy, the ball screen may be one of the best in basketball, as both the bigs and the guards can benefit. Reading the defense is an area that Coach Wootten stresses. He takes time to make sure you understand the essential goals of the ball screen offense. Creating separation and creating mismatches are the two most common and useful benefits when using a ball screen. You'll see Coach Wootten break down ball screen reads for the bigs and the guards separately when they face the following defensive adjustments:

  • Verses hedges
  • Verses flat hedges
  • Verses soft hedges
  • Verses traps

In each of these strategies, Wootten gives guards and bigs the knowledge and techniques they'll need to successfully attack in every situation. With each section, Coach Wootten also includes some fun and competitive drills that help players learn how to put the lessons learned into action.

No matter what offense you run, this video will help you teach your players the progressions to reading the defense. From motion, to continuity, to set plays, this video is essential for your library and will help you teach your players the fundamentals of the game.

Individual development is not only a key for individual players, but also for teams. Joe Wootten brings years of knowledge to the court and passes on some great ways to build individual skills for your team while still using your time effectively in practice.

In this video, Coach Wootten shares multiple ways to get the ball into the basket. The moves taught are fundamentally sound, but also challenge even the best players to improve their game. Along with the finishing aspects of the video, Wootten invests time in the beginning part of the attack - stationary moves. This triple threat foundation to basketball gets players ahead of their defender and in great position to finish at the rim. The video concludes with an essential topic for all players - footwork.

Coach Wootten believes that players need to understand both how and why to make specific moves. He also believes that each player must have a variety of moves at their disposal so they can confidently attack any situation.

Finishing Moves

You'll begin with the layup, a fundamental move that is a must at all levels. While extremely basic, Coach Wootten's instruction on the "how" is great, but his emphasis on the "why" is the biggest value here.

Finishing starts a lot earlier than the rim, and the first part is creating space from the defender. Coach Wootten has his players rip through with the basketball and dribble out in front, which creates distance between the athlete and their defender. Without that dribble, it takes more time to get to the basket, allowing the defender to get back into position.

Coach Wootten covers a variety of finishing moves that can help your players quickly develop an arsenal of ways to get the ball in the basket against any opponent, big or small. Some of the moves covered include:

  • High Board finishes - Using the backboard and various angles to finish is a must when driving against bigger defenders.
  • Euro-Step - This deadly move puts the defender in a difficult situation.
  • Floater - The floater is a must for all guards, but can also be an effective finishing tool for bigs as well.
  • Pro Hop - This advanced move may be challenging for beginners, but can help separate an offensive player from their opponents.
  • Inside Hand Finish - A quick variation to the layup that can help players avoid getting blocked.
  • Rondo - Another high-level move that can leave the defender guessing.
  • Wootten also does a great job of showing how he teaches each move and how he incorporates these moves into larger camp settings. Working with an individual can be much easier than a bunch of campers, but Wootten's method of training can get the most out of both individuals and groups.

    Stationary Moves

    Coach Wootten's stationary moves series is just as essential to a player's success as the finishing moves. Some of the great stationary moves he teaches are:

  • Jab and Drive - Executing a jab step can create the needed space and deception necessary to get open.
  • Direct Drive - This fundamental move is taught in a way that will assure you, or your players, get the most out of each attack.
  • Crossover Drive - Being able to attack off of both hips is key to keeping defenders guessing.
  • Jab Reads - This drill builds on the moves taught before. Coaches defend players in different ways and the players learn to use what they were taught to find the most effective way past their defender.
  • Footwork Drills

    Coach Wootten does a fantastic job of teaching the different aspects of footwork so players can maximize their time with the ball. A few of the teachings included are:

  • Double Step - This 1, 2, motion is how players can catch the ball in a great stance to be able to shoot or drive each time while avoiding traveling calls.
  • Inside Pivot Foot - You'll see the "Kickstand" technique to get players to be balanced and have their weight on the correct foot prior to attacking.
  • Reverse Pivot Move - This move is essential, as players don't always catch the ball facing the basket.
  • Nova Pivot - This special move is a great way to create space and help get the ball to teammates.
  • Quickness kills in basketball, and Coach Wootten's instruction will help every player maximize their potential on the court.

    In this edition of his developmental series, Joe Wootten passes on a ton of great drills to help players improve their ball handling and passing skills. Wootten, the son of Hall of Fame coach Morgan Wootten, gives you a massive series of ball handling drills and highlights this video with his "Moves on the Move" segment.

    Passing Drills

    While passing drills aren't usually the most exciting part of individual practice, they are essential to developing a well-rounded game. If passing fundamentals get overlooked, players often fail to understand why and when to use various passes.

    Coach Wootten shares a 2-man passing set of drills that starts with the fundamentals and builds up into more challenging passes. He then adds a pressure release passing drill that is essential if you want to cut down on your team's turnovers.

    Two fun and challenging passing drills are also included. The first, "Sick, Dying or Dead," is a challenging competition where two players work on catching bullet-like passes. The next is the Rope Drill, where players try to keep the pass on a rope as they slowly get further and further away from their teammate. Keeping records of the furthest pass can help athletes stay motivated when working on their passing.

    Moves on the Move

    This series addresses what a player can do with the ball as they attack a defender and the basket. Wootten shares some gems that players can immediately implement into their game to help them get open looks verses even the best defenders.

    Some of the dribble moves Coach Wootten covers include:

  • Slasher move - Hard, downhill attack.
  • Stop and Go move - Change of speed in the game can be deadly
  • Between the Legs - Simple crossover with additional thoughts to make it more complete.
  • In and Out move - After setting up a defender, this killer move can get them on their heels.
  • Combo moves - Multiple moves to keep defenders guessing.
  • Wootten explains each move and shares important tips that can make all of them deadly on the court. He also invests time in helping players know when and where to use the moves, helping them develop basketball IQ in the process.

    Ball Handling Series

    Level of comfort with the ball is correlated with an athlete's ability to dribble. Wootten shares nearly 50 stationary and dynamic ball handling drills. He uses the drills to develop hand-eye coordination, confidence with the ball, and familiarity on offense.

    Coach Wootten gives you numerous attack moves and fundamental passing techniques to utilize on the court in this jam-packed video!

    Joe Wootten passes on some gems in the areas of shooting, rebounding, and defense in this video!

    For the shooting section, Wootten addresses developing correct form and then shows drills that can be used in both small group settings or large camp settings. Next, he hits on some foundational defensive concepts that are sure to help you and your players find more success on that end of the court. Finally, he shows rebounding drills and concepts that may have you reevaluating how you teach this important skill.

    Each drill and technique is clearly explained and will benefit both players and coaches.

    Shooting

    Coach Wootten begins with the acronym LA-BEEF when teaching shooting. Each letter means something important to developing a great and consistent shooting form. These simple, yet effective cues are great reminders for players as they develop the correct way to shoot. The most interesting piece of this section is Wootten's "A" (Attitude). Teaching kids to focus on the next make instead of the last miss is a mental piece of shooting that is a must in order to become a great shooter.

    Coach Wootten passes on shooting drills that can be used as players develop their form. Some of the drills include:

    • Shooting off the backboard - This drill works simply on form and gets players to avoid worrying about results
    • Spot shooting - These close-up shots are essential in developing great shooters. Wootten expects his players to shoot the same way close as they would further away.
    • 25 Made 3s - A great way to extend a player's shot out.
    • 20 makes at 20 spots - This high-repetition shooting drill gets athletes real shots they will see in a game.
    • Shooting off fade screens - Another game-like series that gets players comfortable with taking a shot off of a screen.

    Defense

    Coach Wootten hits on valuable defensive concepts and drills, including his three keys to playing great defense:

    • Heart - Players must be willing to sacrifice in order to be a great team defender.
    • Mind - Players must know how to play the right way.
    • Feet - The essential key to great defense is to play with your feet and not your hands.

    These three simple points are further explored throughout this section in the drills that Wootten uses to teach defense. While there are different strategies defensively in the game, Wootten's thoughts and drills can be applied to all. He adds a few quickness drills in this section, as one of the things all players can improve on is their quickness.

    Rebounding

    While most coaches stress the importance of rebounding, Coach Wootten focuses more on "going to get the ball." This simple concept may be the most important piece of any rebounding drill or strategy. Players must have the desire and commitment to go and get each and every rebound.

    Wootten shows a few great drills that he uses to help his players excel at rebounding. The Superman drill is a basic, yet essential drill that players must excel at if they want to have success in Wootten's system. This conditioner is an excellent lesson in getting up and after the ball. Coach Wootten then adds a "second effort" drill that is a must-have.

    Throughout the video, Coach Wootten does a great job of teaching each concept and fixing mistakes that his players make. You'll learn how to develop your players to become better at shooting, defense, and rebounding.

    Director of Coach Wootten's Basketball Camp

    One of the most difficult things to teach players is how to get them to play basketball without the basketball. In this great on-court video featuring Joe Wootten, you will learn how to show athletes moves they can use to get themselves and their teammates open, and also help them raise their basketball IQ by teaching them to read and react to the defense.

    Coach Wootten covers all areas of movement without the basketball and progresses from the basics into more advanced movements.

    Whiteboard Session

    The cuts and screens covered are first shown on the white board, where Coach Wootten shows the teaching process and reads that each player will make. Wootten covers curling off screens, slipping screens, back cuts, and getting open on the wing.

    How to "Get Open" Without the Ball

    This idea, whiles seemingly simple, is essential for all players if they eventually want to create scoring opportunities for themselves or their teammates. Coach Wootten details the movements necessary to get open on the offensive end of the floor with various cuts, including the inside pivot, L-cut, and fake inside pivot.

    Coach Wootten then breaks it down into two parts: getting open on your own and getting your teammates open. With the Individual Movement Drill Sequence, players will practice their skills in 1-on-1, 2-on-2, and 3-on-3 competitive games. Every detail from setting an effective screen to who each player should read only helps in the process of creating an effective and smart basketball player. Wootten emphasizes that players avoid making their mind up in advance.

    The unselfish act of "getting your teammates open" is actually one of the most selfish things you can do in basketball, as it almost always leads to you getting open as well. Coach Wootten goes through a series of screens, teaching each screen, the screener's job, and the receiver's job. This is broken down to where players at any level can begin to implement these skills. The screening concepts and moves off the screen covered are:

    • Drift Screen Technique
    • Down Screening
    • Back Screening
    • Curls off the screen
    • Reverse Curls
    • Fade Cuts
    • Pop outs
    • Slips

    Ball Screen Drills

    A devastating offensive strategy, the ball screen may be one of the best in basketball, as both the bigs and the guards can benefit. Reading the defense is an area that Coach Wootten stresses. He takes time to make sure you understand the essential goals of the ball screen offense. Creating separation and creating mismatches are the two most common and useful benefits when using a ball screen. You'll see Coach Wootten break down ball screen reads for the bigs and the guards separately when they face the following defensive adjustments:

    • Verses hedges
    • Verses flat hedges
    • Verses soft hedges
    • Verses traps

    In each of these strategies, Wootten gives guards and bigs the knowledge and techniques they'll need to successfully attack in every situation. With each section, Coach Wootten also includes some fun and competitive drills that help players learn how to put the lessons learned into action.

    No matter what offense you run, this video will help you teach your players the progressions to reading the defense. From motion, to continuity, to set plays, this video is essential for your library and will help you teach your players the fundamentals of the game.

    Individual development is not only a key for individual players, but also for teams. Joe Wootten brings years of knowledge to the court and passes on some great ways to build individual skills for your team while still using your time effectively in practice.

    In this video, Coach Wootten shares multiple ways to get the ball into the basket. The moves taught are fundamentally sound, but also challenge even the best players to improve their game. Along with the finishing aspects of the video, Wootten invests time in the beginning part of the attack - stationary moves. This triple threat foundation to basketball gets players ahead of their defender and in great position to finish at the rim. The video concludes with an essential topic for all players - footwork.

    Coach Wootten believes that players need to understand both how and why to make specific moves. He also believes that each player must have a variety of moves at their disposal so they can confidently attack any situation.

    Finishing Moves

    You'll begin with the layup, a fundamental move that is a must at all levels. While extremely basic, Coach Wootten's instruction on the "how" is great, but his emphasis on the "why" is the biggest value here.

    Finishing starts a lot earlier than the rim, and the first part is creating space from the defender. Coach Wootten has his players rip through with the basketball and dribble out in front, which creates distance between the athlete and their defender. Without that dribble, it takes more time to get to the basket, allowing the defender to get back into position.

    Coach Wootten covers a variety of finishing moves that can help your players quickly develop an arsenal of ways to get the ball in the basket against any opponent, big or small. Some of the moves covered include:

  • High Board finishes - Using the backboard and various angles to finish is a must when driving against bigger defenders.
  • Euro-Step - This deadly move puts the defender in a difficult situation.
  • Floater - The floater is a must for all guards, but can also be an effective finishing tool for bigs as well.
  • Pro Hop - This advanced move may be challenging for beginners, but can help separate an offensive player from their opponents.
  • Inside Hand Finish - A quick variation to the layup that can help players avoid getting blocked.
  • Rondo - Another high-level move that can leave the defender guessing.
  • Wootten also does a great job of showing how he teaches each move and how he incorporates these moves into larger camp settings. Working with an individual can be much easier than a bunch of campers, but Wootten's method of training can get the most out of both individuals and groups.

    Stationary Moves

    Coach Wootten's stationary moves series is just as essential to a player's success as the finishing moves. Some of the great stationary moves he teaches are:

  • Jab and Drive - Executing a jab step can create the needed space and deception necessary to get open.
  • Direct Drive - This fundamental move is taught in a way that will assure you, or your players, get the most out of each attack.
  • Crossover Drive - Being able to attack off of both hips is key to keeping defenders guessing.
  • Jab Reads - This drill builds on the moves taught before. Coaches defend players in different ways and the players learn to use what they were taught to find the most effective way past their defender.
  • Footwork Drills

    Coach Wootten does a fantastic job of teaching the different aspects of footwork so players can maximize their time with the ball. A few of the teachings included are:

  • Double Step - This 1, 2, motion is how players can catch the ball in a great stance to be able to shoot or drive each time while avoiding traveling calls.
  • Inside Pivot Foot - You'll see the "Kickstand" technique to get players to be balanced and have their weight on the correct foot prior to attacking.

  • Nova Pivot - This special move is a great way to create space and help get the ball to teammates.
  • Quickness kills in basketball, and Coach Wootten's instruction will help every player maximize their potential on the court.

    2018 SEC Regular Season Champions - 16-0 record;
    2016 NCAA Sweet Sixteen;
    2011 NCAA Championship (as Associate Head Coach, Texas A & M)

    In 2017, Vic Schaefer guided his team to a stunning upset of top-ranked Connecticut and ended their consecutive winning streak at 111 games. They did so with a great defensive effort, but more importantly with offensive precision and execution.

    Schaefer opens his offensive playbook and demonstrates the offensive efficiency. He provides every possible offensive situation you need to take your team to the next level. Whether it's set plays, zone plays, BLOBS and SLOBS, continuity offense, or installing a new offense with the dribble drive, there is something on this video for any coach!

    Dribble Drive Offense

    Everything in Coach Schaefer's offense starts with getting to the nail as an attacker and creating open spaces for teammates to drive. As he puts it, the first driver will create double, triple or super gaps for their teammates by getting to the nail and hitting the next cutter/driver. If your opponent likes to switch, there's a counter for that. If you want to get creative, Schaefer demonstrates screening actions using an elevator screen and a shuffle cut/screen to create more scoring opportunities and space for your players to attack.

    Sets

    You have to be prepared for anything your opponent does to stop your attacking offense. Having sets in place that will lead into your offense is a great way to counter any defense.

    Schaefer details three sets he has used to get his team easy buckets and have multiple scoring options. In order to best disguise his sets and keep opponents on their toes, all sets are run out of a box. If you need to get a shooter a look, he uses elevator action leading into a pick & roll option in case the defense is able to get through screens. In the 2 Down series, he uses high-low looks to space the floor and create scoring opportunities for posts and shooters.

    Circle Motion

    Having a continuity offense in place allows you to utilize many of your players. Players are able to own their role and read the defense. Schaefer uses a box set to continue disguising his actions and uses pin downs and shuffle cuts to keep the offense from getting stagnant. Off of a shuffle cut, he finishes the continuity with a pick-the-picker action for a knock-down shooter.

    BLOB and SLOB

    Scoring off of special situations can lead to easy buckets and an advantage over any opponent. With SLOBs and BLOBs, Schaefer uses a variety of scoring options, including pick & roll with your best attacker, refusing the screen, using the screen for an open jumper, and slipping screens to create open shots for a post with some range. In 3 series, Schaefer demonstrates all of these actions and throws in an elevator screen against a zone defense for a must-have 3-pointer.

    Shooting Drills

    Coach Schaefer demonstrates a variety of shooting drills his team uses to rep game shots in game spots. Most drills are done in the half court with some utilized in full court settings. In 3-on-3-on-3 shooting, players work on rhythm shooting in transition as they sprint the floor hunting their shot. Your athletes will work on their finishes around the rim so they know how to react to any help side defense sliding over.

    No matter what level of coaching you're at, this video is a valuable tool! It breaks down drills that apply to all age groups and teams. Coach Schaefer stresses the importance of fundamentals at every level and how they are truly the key to success. Put your team in a position to win every game!

    2016 NCAA Sweet Sixteen;
    2011 NCAA Championship (as Associate Head Coach, Texas A & M)

    Vic Schaefer has transformed the Mississippi State basketball program. His success is in great part due to the intense defensive pressure his players put on their opponents.

    In this video, Schaefer goes in-depth on how he has been able to get his players to consistently execute their defensive principles, as well as play with the type of intensity necessary to compete at the highest levels.

    Three different teaching methods are used throughout the video. Coach Schaefer uses whiteboard discussions to show basics surrounding his defense. He teaches with a team other than his own on the court, and also teaches from one of his own, live practices. Each session is as valuable as the next in learning how Schaefer instructs and instills the concepts of his defense.

    Daily Defensive Drills

    These "Daily Defensive Drills" are included in each of Coach Schaefer's practices throughout the season. Each drill is a foundational element of the defensive concepts he needs his players to apply. The drills include:

      Defensing the Floor - This 1-on-1 full court drill is a great way to get your team down in a stance and ready to defend the ball.Mirror Drill - This is a sprinting drill that forces the defender to get past the person with the ball and re-initiate on-ball defense.Shell Drill - While almost all coaches have a form of Shell Drill, Schaefer's has attention to detail and variety. This is not just your regular Shell Drill!

    Key Defensive Concepts

    Some key components to Coach Schaefer's defense are:

    • Hard denials one pass away.
    • Great ball pressure.
    • Keeping the ball on one side of the court.
    • Moving on the pass.

    Coach Schaefer addresses these concepts throughout the video. Each defensive idea is taught completely and also repeated on the floor in a live action setting. Much of the drill work that is done is in a 2-on-2, 3-on-3 or 4-on-4 format. This competitive setting keeps the players engaged throughout.

    Zone and Press Defense

    Schaefer includes two other defenses that his team uses. First, he introduces his 15 defense, which is a 1-2-2 zone. With this, he breaks down each player's responsibility and shows how the defense almost morphs into a 2-3 zone. Next, Schaefer spends some time working on and teaching his full court run and jump press. This high-paced pressure defense can cause havoc on the court.

    Other concepts covered include defending down screens, ball screen defense, jumping to the ball and avoiding getting your face crossed, and defensive rebounding.

    There are also two rebounding drills/competitions included in this video. Each emphasizes the importance of blocking out and moving feet to hold the block out. These competitive drills work on the fundamentals of rebounding while also allowing players to get after it in a game-like situation.

    This video is loaded with a full complement of defensive strategies and drills to help you and your team put together an entire defensive scheme. If you want to change the way your team plays defense, if you want to play with the type of intensity that is necessary to achieve greater goals, then the lessons in this video are exactly what you need.

As he puts it, the first driver will create double, triple or super gaps for their teammates by getting to the nail and hitting the next cutter/driver. If your opponent likes to switch, there's a counter for that. If you want to get creative, Schaefer demonstrates screening actions using an elevator screen and a shuffle cut/screen to create more scoring opportunities and space for your players to attack.

    Sets

    You have to be prepared for anything your opponent does to stop your attacking offense. Having sets in place that will lead into your offense is a great way to counter any defense.

    Schaefer details three sets he has used to get his team easy buckets and have multiple scoring options. In order to best disguise his sets and keep opponents on their toes, all sets are run out of a box. If you need to get a shooter a look, he uses elevator action leading into a pick & roll option in case the defense is able to get through screens. In the 2 Down series, he uses high-low looks to space the floor and create scoring opportunities for posts and shooters.

    Circle Motion

    Having a continuity offense in place allows you to utilize many of your players. Players are able to own their role and read the defense. Schaefer uses a box set to continue disguising his actions and uses pin downs and shuffle cuts to keep the offense from getting stagnant. Off of a shuffle cut, he finishes the continuity with a pick-the-picker action for a knock-down shooter.

    BLOB and SLOB

    Scoring off of special situations can lead to easy buckets and an advantage over any opponent. With SLOBs and BLOBs, Schaefer uses a variety of scoring options, including pick & roll with your best attacker, refusing the screen, using the screen for an open jumper, and slipping screens to create open shots for a post with some range. In 3 series, Schaefer demonstrates all of these actions and throws in an elevator screen against a zone defense for a must-have 3-pointer.

    Shooting Drills

    Coach Schaefer demonstrates a variety of shooting drills his team uses to rep game shots in game spots. Most drills are done in the half court with some utilized in full court settings. In 3-on-3-on-3 shooting, players work on rhythm shooting in transition as they sprint the floor hunting their shot. Your athletes will work on their finishes around the rim so they know how to react to any help side defense sliding over.

    No matter what level of coaching you're at, this video is a valuable tool! It breaks down drills that apply to all age groups and teams. Coach Schaefer stresses the importance of fundamentals at every level and how they are truly the key to success. Put your team in a position to win every game!

    2x SEC Coach of the Year (2018, 2015);
    2018 SEC Regular Season Champions - 16-0 record;
    2016 NCAA Sweet Sixteen;
    2011 NCAA Championship (as Associate Head Coach, Texas A & M)

    Vic Schaefer has transformed the Mississippi State basketball program. His success is in great part due to the intense defensive pressure his players put on their opponents.

    In this video, Schaefer goes in-depth on how he has been able to get his players to consistently execute their defensive principles, as well as play with the type of intensity necessary to compete at the highest levels.

    Three different teaching methods are used throughout the video. Coach Schaefer uses whiteboard discussions to show basics surrounding his defense. He teaches with a team other than his own on the court, and also teaches from one of his own, live practices. Each session is as valuable as the next in learning how Schaefer instructs and instills the concepts of his defense.

    Daily Defensive Drills

    These "Daily Defensive Drills" are included in each of Coach Schaefer's practices throughout the season. Each drill is a foundational element of the defensive concepts he needs his players to apply. The drills include:

      Defensing the Floor - This 1-on-1 full court drill is a great way to get your team down in a stance and ready to defend the ball.Mirror Drill - This is a sprinting drill that forces the defender to get past the person with the ball and re-initiate on-ball defense.Shell Drill - While almost all coaches have a form of Shell Drill, Schaefer's has attention to detail and variety. This is not just your regular Shell Drill!

    Key Defensive Concepts

    Some key components to Coach Schaefer's defense are:

    • Hard denials one pass away.
    • Great ball pressure.
    • Keeping the ball on one side of the court.
    • Moving on the pass.

    Coach Schaefer addresses these concepts throughout the video. Each defensive idea is taught completely and also repeated on the floor in a live action setting. Much of the drill work that is done is in a 2-on-2, 3-on-3 or 4-on-4 format. This competitive setting keeps the players engaged throughout.

    Zone and Press Defense

    Schaefer includes two other defenses that his team uses. First, he introduces his 15 defense, which is a 1-2-2 zone. With this, he breaks down each player's responsibility and shows how the defense almost morphs into a 2-3 zone. Next, Schaefer spends some time working on and teaching his full court run and jump press. This high-paced pressure defense can cause havoc on the court.

    Other concepts covered include defending down screens, ball screen defense, jumping to the ball and avoiding getting your face crossed, and defensive rebounding.

    There are also two rebounding drills/competitions included in this video. Each emphasizes the importance of blocking out and moving feet to hold the block out. These competitive drills work on the fundamentals of rebounding while also allowing players to get after it in a game-like situation.

    This video is loaded with a full complement of defensive strategies and drills to help you and your team put together an entire defensive scheme. If you want to change the way your team plays defense, if you want to play with the type of intensity that is necessary to achieve greater goals, then the lessons in this video are exactly what you need.

    Joe Dooley loads this video with tons of great plays and concepts to implement into your transition offense. These strategies will get your team to play faster, while staying organized, and help you score at a higher efficiency than ever before. Beyond general concepts for your transition offense, you will also see 14 quick-hitting plays and seven drills that are used by Florida Gulf Coast University.

    7-Second Transition Offense

    Coach Dooley presents his transition system to score through early offense and motion actions for your team, as well as how to take advantage of defensive stops, steals and turnovers. You will learn a series of offensive tools such as pick & roll, pick & pop, drags, chase, pitch ahead, reverse, staggered, wave, high-low actions and many more.

    Some of the plays you'll get in this video include:

    • Stagger: Learn how to run a great shooter off multiple screens quickly in transition. Dooley also shows solutions for attacking defenses that switch and how you can flow into an effective set with the Horns alignment.
    • Ball Screens: Create opportunities for a great scorer with drag and double drag ball screens in transition. You will see how to flow into multiple pick & rolls in addition to tips on how to space the floor to avoid traps.
    • Spurs Action: Play to the strengths of talented post players with high-low action in this set. This set utilizes wide pin downs and dribble hand-offs to create several scoring opportunities with the same play.

    Other plays incorporate screen-the-screener actions, free up your best shooter for a quick shot, occupy defenders in screening actions to create more space for ball screens, and more! Dooley also explains how to transition into your offense versus zone defense and shares two additional lob plays.

    Transition Drills

    Develop your fastbreak through six practice drills. These drills will help your players break down shots they need to make in the early offense. The Drive and Kick drill is a competitive way to get your players repetitions on creating shots through dribble penetration from multiple angles on the court.

    Coach Dooley teaches how your post players can seal their defender in transition with the Post Entry drill. If a defender is taking away an entry pass on one side of the floor, your team will learn how to quickly reverse the ball and feed the post from the other side.

    The 3-on-4 Contest drill is the perfect way for your players to learn how to make reads on offense with finding the open man in scramble scenarios. This drill also doubles as an excellent defensive drill to teach your players closeouts and rotations.

    This is the perfect video for coaches looking to add effective quick-hitters to their early offense playbook!

    Using his proven aggressive approach, Chris Mack shows how to destroy zone defenses by consistently scoring on layups and set plays. You'll see how Coach Mack works to get his players into an aggressive mentality versus the zone and discover the key areas of the floor that must be attacked in order to break any zone defense.

    You'll learn drills, set offenses, baseline out of bound plays, transition breaks, and key offense actions that are designed to force any team out of their zone coverage. This isn't just a couple of plays, but rather, a guide to read and take advantage of natural weaknesses found in zone defenses.

    Coach Mack covers:

    • Carolina Wheel - A continuity zone offense that can be run to both sides. It attacks the gray areas when you bring the wing up and also attacks the short corner.
    • Flash - A two-guard front that tries to get the ball to the logo of the key working to get open shots and high low action for the post players.
    • How to ball screen the zone - Forces the second defender out of their area and picks on players trying to cover for one another. Bigs look to duck in and force the bottom defender to play wing and open the corner for a shot.
    • Two set plays to run in a baseline out-of-bounds scenario.
    • And more!

    Each play is broken down into components as Mack shows initial reads and counters versus any type of zone shift. You'll be able to incorporate screen options and leverage player movement to pull defenders out of position and disrupt your opponent's game plan.

    Tim Jankovich shares his defensive philosophy, covering eight of the most important areas of a sound defensive system. Components covered include 1-on-1 defense, defensive positioning, and defending offensive movements like off-ball cuts, drives to the basket, and screening actions. Coach Jankovich shares an extraordinary amount of details you can use in order to develop a strong man to man defensive team. The technical barrage of skills he leaves you with will go a long way in developing your championship team.

    Stopping Transition Baskets

    In all offenses and defenses, the team that transitions well usually wins the battle. Coach Jankovich shares the mentality you need to develop within your team in order to transition well back to defense. He details why his teams spend so much time on defensive transition and breaks down how to speed this conversion up. Offensive pace is faster than it's ever been, and being a strong defensive team can help you slow opponents down and force them into a slower-paced execution game.

    Defensive Foundations

    Jankovich moves from principles to practice by breaking down individual and team on- and off-ball defense. He breaks down the basic footwork and handwork needed to close out on speedy and shifty players. Jankovich then adds team concepts into the mix by demonstrating his versions of defensive Shell drill that should be worked on daily.

    Defensive Positioning

    Teaching in layers by adding to the previous concepts, Jankovich breaks down defending against cuts and drives. He emphasizes a flat triangle, jumping to the ball, and being able to draw the line between you and your man. Jankovich reveals his cues of basic help positioning, to trapping and recovering on baseline drives. He then shares his strategies for defending dribble penetration and how to properly help off of shooters.

    Screens are a key piece of almost every offense in today's game and can be difficult to guard if not properly drilled and prepared to defend. Coach Jankovich teaches coverages on some of the more unique and difficult to cover screens such as wide pin downs, stagger screens, and pick & pop action.

    If your team is having trouble on the defensive side of the ball, or you are starting your own program or team from scratch and want to implement a defensive philosophy, Coach Jankovich demonstrates concepts and drills that are purposeful in building a foundational defense that can be applied at any level of basketball.

    Offensive Drills

    Develop the skill level of your players while breaking down elements of your team offense with four offensive drills. These drills teach players how to attack off the dribble, space the floor on penetration, pass under pressure, post up for easy baskets, and score in a variety of ways from different spots on the court.

    The Chase drill is a great full-court drill to teach your players how to score at the rim with pressure from the opponent. It also has a secondary benefit in teaching players to never give up on a play in transition defense.

    Defensive Drills

    Learn three drills that will help your players in multiple ways on the defensive end of the floor. The Dribble Containment drill teaches players how to closeout into a defensive stance and stay in front of the ball versus dribble penetration.
