Bill Self’s Basketball Defensive Absolutes
University of Kansas head coach Bill Self is one of the game’s best. His Jayhawks teams have owned the Big 12 for the better part of almost two decades and Self has already been inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.
In this basketball defensive absolutes video, you get to see one of the game’s best coaches in action coaching his team. Watch as he develops his Jayhawks with an emphasis on skill development, defense, baseline inbounds plays, and 5-on-5 play. Self displays for you his defensive philosophy as well as five inbounds plays and an amazing 5-on-5 drill.
Basketball Defensive Absolutes
First, learn the three essential elements to Coach Self’s man-to-man defense that will prevent easy baskets. Self lectures on the importance of tracking what he calls “energy points” in practice. You also get ideas on improving rebounding, strategies for hitting the boards, how to measure competition in practice, and more.
Coach Self demonstrates a 4-on-4 defensive drill that focuses on how guard ball screens. You’ll see how to “ice” ball screens on the whiteboard and then on the court. That leads into a discussion on taking your Shell Drill to a new level. Self then moves onto teach players how to double the post with both big men. That is then carried into a 5-on-5 drill that challenges the defense to trap the post and get back on a ball reversal.
Inbounds Plays & 5-on-5
You will see five inbounds plays straight from Self’s playbook. Each is designed to produce quality scoring looks either at the rim or from behind the three-point arc. Self also shows you how to inbound the ball from the sideline with a play that can flow right into your own quick hitters. Self also goes to the whiteboard to show you how to defend baseline inbounds plays.
The final segment of the video features a 5-on-5 segment called “Blockout Break.” This is a great drill where players can put to use the individual tactics and techniques that are taught in drill segments. This presentation is from one of the game’s best and has something for everyone. Rent this basketball defensive absolutes DVD today.
