Read and React Zone Attack
Rick Torbett (Rental)-Read And React Zone Attack $19.99
Read and React Zone Offense Attack The Read and Reack Zone Offense is run the same way as it is in man to man but with some adjustments.  For example, in the pass and cut layer, players will still cut after they pass but they will now stop in a spot and stay there for one pass.  A player could cut and go to the short coner, mid-post, or high post on either side of the court. The Read and React Offense Zone Attack also features the Pin and Skip action where the two players on the weak side of the zone attack a defender.  One player will screen the zone defender and the other will be open for the shot because of the screen being set. Read and React Zone Offense Sets The Read and React Zone Offense Attack sets are just like the man to man version - 3 Out, 4 Out, and 5 Out. You can attack any type of zone with the Read & React Offense.  You'll find that if you face a 1-3-1 it would be better to attack with a 4 Out 1 in.  If you face a 2-3 Zone you would want to run the 3 Out or 5 Out sets.  This puts your players into the natural gaps of the zone defense. Using the Read and React Offense will allow you to attack both man and zone defenses with the same principles making it easier for your players to attack any type of defense they see without having to learn a whole new system or new offense. The Read and React Zone Offense Attack will have you moving the ball from side to side, still attacking off the dribble, and teaching your players how to play basketball instead of making them robots who have to run from spot to spots.  Rent the Read and React Zone Offense DVD today.

Progressive Drills to Build the 2-2-1 Press Coach McCarthy uses five drills that build on each other to teach the Mayhem defense. These drills teach the roles and responsibilities for each player on the floor. The drills include: The Points Game (1-on-1): This is the classic Zig-Zag drill with a twist. By adding some competition, players learn to stay in front of the ball, apply pressure, and not foul. 2-on-2 Drill: This teaches players up front the concept of the run-and-jump approach to trapping in this press. Players learn to trap and how to rotate out of the trap. 3-on-3 Drill: Players in the second row learn how to pick up an offensive player who has cut down the floor and has not received the ball. 4-on-4 Drill: Second row players work on denying opponents properly.

Players are taught to find their matchups before and after the ball is inbounded. You will see when the defense will trap, where an ideal trap is located, and who is supposed to trap. One-Guard Front: This approach is easily handled by pinching the point guard with two defenders. Coach McCarthy’s system has transformed the Alaska-Anchorage program. Learn the system and the drills that help build it in this video.

Man To Man Defense With Jim Huber by Jim Huber Instructional Basketball Coaching Video
Jim Huber (Rental)-Man To Man Defense With Jim Huber $39.99
Mastering the Huber Defense: Unleashing Defensive Excellence Introduction Welcome to our comprehensive guide on mastering the Huber Defense, a defensive strategy that is sure to elevate your basketball game to new heights. In this article, we will delve into the intricacies of the Huber Defense, providing you with valuable insights, expert tips, and detailed breakdowns to help you outperform your opponents on the court. Whether you're a seasoned basketball player or a novice looking to improve your defensive skills, this guide is your key to unlocking defensive excellence. Understanding the Huber Defense The Huber Defense, named after its creator and renowned basketball coach, Coach Huber, is a highly effective defensive strategy designed to disrupt the opponent's offense and gain a competitive edge. This defensive system emphasizes constant pressure, strategic positioning, and rapid transitions, making it a formidable tactic to counter even the most skilled offensive players. Key Principles of the Huber Defense 1. Aggressive Ball Pressure One of the fundamental principles of the Huber Defense is applying relentless ball pressure. This involves staying close to your assigned opponent, denying them easy passing lanes, and pressuring them into making mistakes. By applying intense ball pressure, you force the opposing team into rushed decisions, turnovers, and ultimately disrupt their offensive flow. 2. Help Defense and Rotations Another crucial aspect of the Huber Defense is the emphasis on help defense and rotations. Effective communication and teamwork are vital in executing timely rotations to cover open players and provide support to teammates in defensive transitions. By maintaining constant awareness and employing swift rotations, you can neutralize scoring opportunities and frustrate the opposition. 3. Active Hands and Deflections Active hands and deflections play a pivotal role in the success of the Huber Defense. By actively contesting passes, disrupting dribbles, and deflecting the ball, you create chaos for the offense, forcing turnovers and creating fast break opportunities. Mastering the art of deflections requires anticipation, quick reflexes, and precise timing, all of which contribute to the overall effectiveness of the Huber Defense. Implementing the Huber Defense To successfully implement the Huber Defense, you need to focus on key strategies and techniques. Let's explore some of the essential elements that will enhance your defensive prowess: 1. Communication and Defensive Assignments Clear and effective communication is essential in the Huber Defense. Assigning defensive roles, switching assignments when necessary, and maintaining constant communication with your teammates ensure seamless execution of the defensive system. By communicating effectively, you can anticipate offensive movements, adjust defensive positions, and quickly respond to any changes on the court. 2. Footwork and Stance Proper footwork and defensive stance are crucial for maintaining balance, agility, and the ability to quickly react to offensive moves. Maintain a low stance, with your knees flexed, and your weight evenly distributed on the balls of your feet. This position allows for quick lateral movements, better stability, and the ability to stay in front of your opponent effectively. 3. Anticipation and Timing Anticipating offensive plays and reading your opponent's movements are vital skills in executing the Huber Defense. By studying your opponent's tendencies, recognizing offensive patterns, and developing a keen sense of anticipation, you can disrupt their rhythm and gain a significant advantage. Timing is equally important; knowing when to contest shots, steal passes, or help defensively can make a significant impact on the outcome of the game. The Benefits of the Huber Defense Mastering the Huber Defense offers numerous benefits that can elevate your defensive capabilities and contribute to  the success of your team. Here are some of the key benefits of implementing the Huber Defense: 1. Defensive Intensity and Pressure The Huber Defense is known for its relentless intensity and pressure on the opposing team. By applying constant ball pressure and disrupting passing lanes, you force the offense into making mistakes, turnovers, and poor shot selections. This defensive strategy creates a sense of unease and frustration for the opposition, leading to a higher chance of turnovers and reduced scoring opportunities. 2. Disrupting Offensive Flow The Huber Defense excels at disrupting the flow of the opposing team's offense. With its emphasis on active hands, deflections, and quick rotations, this defensive system can throw off offensive plays and force the opposition into improvisation. By disrupting their rhythm and timing, you can neutralize their most potent offensive weapons and gain a significant advantage. 3. Fast Break Opportunities A key advantage of the Huber Defense is its ability to generate fast break opportunities. By creating turnovers and securing defensive rebounds, you can initiate quick transitions from defense to offense. This fast-paced style of play often catches opponents off guard, allowing your team to capitalize on scoring opportunities before the defense has a chance to set up. 4. Team Cohesion and Communication Implementing the Huber Defense requires a high level of teamwork, cohesion, and communication among players. Each team member must understand their defensive assignments, rotate effectively, and communicate seamlessly to cover open players and anticipate offensive movements. By working together cohesively, your team can establish a strong defensive presence and make it difficult for opponents to find open scoring opportunities. 5. Psychological Advantage The Huber Defense not only impacts the physical aspect of the game but also has a psychological effect on the opposing team. The constant pressure, active hands, and disruptive nature of this defensive strategy can lead to frustration, doubt, and decreased confidence for the opposition. As a result, the Huber Defense can tilt the momentum in your team's favor, demoralize opponents, and create a psychological advantage that can greatly impact the outcome of the game. Conclusion Mastering the Huber Defense is a game-changer for any basketball player or team seeking to elevate their defensive performance. By implementing the key principles, techniques, and strategies outlined in this guide, you can outperform opponents and establish defensive excellence on the court. Remember, the Huber Defense is not just a defensive strategy; it's a mindset that demands relentless effort, teamwork, and a commitment to excellence. So, lace up your sneakers, study the Huber Defense, and unlock the true potential of your defensive skills. It's time to dominate the game!

Harry Perretta's 5 Out Motion Offense Vol. 2 by Harry Perretta Instructional Basketball Coaching Video
Harry Perretta (Rental)-Harry Perretta's 5 Out Motion Offense Vol. 2 $17.99
Harry Perretta’s 5-Out Motion Offense, Volume 2 Building on the original “5-Out Motion Offense” video, Villanova University women’s basketball coach Harry Perretta presents Volume 2 where he has taken the 5-Out offense and brought it to a new level with the following additions: Dribble drive action Reverse Curl action More movement on the perimeter by the 4 and 5 Flare and Slip screens with non-stop action Dribble action to improve the passing angles to post players The Breakdown of 5-out Motion Offense In this updated presentation, Coach Perretta lays out the entire offense and explains what is new. It begins with a series of seven different cuts all called by number. In a 5-on-0 setting, Coach Perretta goes through each cut and how to teach it to your players. Sideline Plays Next, Coach Perretta shows you how to call plays from the sideline without using a timeout. He takes you from 5-on-0 to 3-on-3 and, ultimately, 5-on-5 to build your knowledge of the system so you will be able to implement it into your program with little trouble. Dribble Drive  You will see how the offense morphs right into the dribble drive action. Players come off screens or cuts and use the dribble drive element to force defenders to help on the ball handler. The help defense opens up shots on the perimeter. Coach Perretta also shows you how the motion offense concepts he teaches can be used as secondary break options.

Chris Mack: Drills to Build the Pack Line Defense There is no doubt Chris Mack is one of college basketball’s great young coaches. The now-Louisville head coach took Xavier to the Sweet Sixteen four times and won 69 percent of his games with the Musketeers. He took his first Louisville team to the NCAA tournament and he has won numerous conference coach of the Year honors. In this video done as an on-court clinic presentation, Mack details the everyday drills he uses to build the aggressive Pack Line defense that has made his teams so successful. You will see how he teaches both team and individual drills that will: Create extreme ball pressure Keep the ball out of the middle of the court Force the offense to take contested jump shots “away from the box” Develop excellent help defense and improve communication on defense All of Mack’s drills emphasize discouraging the shot, but playing the drive. Players do this by proper positioning, closing out with high hands, building walls, closing gaps, and jumping to the ball. Once the basics have been taught, Mack breaks down how to defend the post from initial positioning on the floor to positioning after the catch in the post. Here, he teaches the “wall up” technique for post defense which creates the toughest three-foot shot to make. All of the defensive concepts and rules are then brought together in a number of team drills. You will see the 3-out, 1-in Unguarded Post Drill, the 3-on-3 Identity Drill, and the 3-out, 1-in Identity Drill which is essentially 4-on-4 with a post player. These drills train players at a game-like tempo. Coach Mack’s Xavier – and now Louisville – teams were known for their aggressive man-to-man defense. This DVD gives you insight into how to implement Mack’s defensive principles and drills into your system.
