Jim Larranaga: 3 Zone Offenses to Beat Any Zone Defense University of Miami head coach Jim Larranaga has enjoyed success everywhere he has been. He took George Mason to the Final Four in 2006 and took Miami to the Sweet Sixteen in 2013 when he earned the AP National Coach of the Year award. One of the things that has contributed to Larranaga’s success is an offensive attack that can break down any defense, including zone defenses. In this on-court clinic presentation, Coach Larranaga diagrams three-zone offenses you can use to beat any zone defense. He then takes those offenses on the court to demonstrate how he uses ball movement, man movement, screening, dribble penetration, and offensive rebounding to beat zone defenses. You’ll see each offense in a 5-on-0 and then a 5-on-5 setting. Slice & Dice Zone Offense The Slice & Dice is great against most any zone, but primarily the 2-3, 3-2, and 1-2-2. The offenses uses four perimeter players and one post. It forces the defense to move, communicate, and change their matchups. Crack & Carve Zone Offense The Crack & Carve is good against the same 2-3, 3-2, or 1-2-2 zone defenses. The difference is that this offense will utilize two post players. The idea, as the name attests, is for the two post players to carve out space, set screens, and create good shots either for themselves or for their teammates. Seek & Find Zone Offense The Seek & Find Offense is used specifically for the 1-3-1 zone defense. This offense uses a 4-Out formation and then uses combinations of diagonal passing, back screens, down screens, and penetration to break down and dismantle the zone thereby creating open shots. With three different zone offenses, you have the ability to install the one that best fits your personnel. You can also install all three and use them in different situations. Order now to take advantage of Coach Larranaga’s expertise in designing zone offenses.

In this video, Coach Jim Larranaga provides a comprehensive guide to improving the shooting skills of every player on your team. The video is designed to help coaches develop specific goals and habits to challenge and focus their players, and transfer practice improvements to game results. Coach Larranaga starts by discussing the importance of developing habits when working on a player's shot, such as footwork, balance, follow through, and focus. He then proceeds to demonstrate a series of drills that work all phases of shooting, including making players better from key 3-point spots and off the dribble. He starts with a drill called "Six in a Row" which is a simple but challenging drill that forces players to execute proper footwork while going back and forth trying to hit six shots in a row from game spots. This drill is not only a great warm-up but also a challenging drill that will help poor shooters realize they need to put in more work. He also passes on nine other great shooting drills that challenge players while giving them a great workout. Another great aspect of Coach Larranaga's shooting workouts is how he consistently has players compete against themselves or their teammates. This competition is important to prepare players to hit big shots in big moments. In one drill, Coach Larranaga adds a defender against two shooters to force players to make good decisions while preparing to shoot. This helps players to practice shooting under pressure, which is a key skill for clutch situations in games. This video is an excellent resource for coaches who want to improve the shooting skills of their players. Coach Larranaga provides clear and detailed instructions on how to develop specific goals and habits to challenge and focus your players, and transfer practice improvements to game results.
