20 Quick Hitters for Scoring Against Man or Zone
As the head coach of the women's basketball team at the University of
Louisville,
Jeff Walz has built one of the best programs in women's
college basketball that rivals their men's basketball counterparts.
Twice, the Louisville Cardinals have been the runners-up in the NCAA
tournament and most of it is as a result of his team's execution of
quick hitting plays.
Coach Walz shows his quick hitters from three situations: zone,
man-to-man, and end-of-clock situations. Also included are
full-court quick hitters designed to get that last-second desperation
shot that can send the game into overtime or get that big-time win when
all is seemingly lost.

Tom Izzo: Winning Dead Ball Situations
Tom Izzo and his teams at Michigan State have prided
themselves on being prepared for a variety of situations that arise

resulted in several trips to the Final Four and a national championship
in 2000. In this DVD, Coach Izzo presents ideas on "special teams
situations" that are designed to pick up 4-5 points per game more with
proper execution.
For Tom Izzo, "special teams situations" incorporates five areas: jump
balls, missed offensive free throws, baseline out-of-bounds plays,
sideline out-of-bounds plays, and plays out of time outs. All
situations are presented with three goals in mind: score points, have a

This week's featured basketball coaching DVD is Brad Underwood of
Stephen F. Austin University. Coach Underwood is a rising star in
the coaching ranks after having led Stephen F. Austin to the third round
of the 2014 NCAA Tournament on the strength of an overtime win over VCU.
Coach Underwood played at Kansas State for the legendary Jack Hartman
and coached as an assistant coach under Bob Huggins and Frank Martin at
Kansas State and South Carolina before taking the job at Stephen F.
Austin.
Spread Offense
Having coached under Bob Huggins and Frank Martin as well as having
played for Jack Hartman, Coach Brad Underwood takes you inside Stephen
F. Austin's offense based in large part on the spread offenses that are
on the scene in college football. A scheme that is presented as
"position-less" is designed with cutting, spacing, and passing to get
high percentage shots for your team.
Starting with player positioning, Coach Underwood then adds the entries
available and how to move once each entry is made to initiate the
offense. A number of basket cuts are made within the framework of
the offense which puts constant pressure on the defense. There are
also counters to the various adjustments made by the defense to make the
offense seemingly unstoppable.
Demonstrated in the DVD are 2-, 3-, and 4-player drills designed to
teach fundamentals and the offense itself. Great detail is given
to each coaching point as it helps build the offense from scratch.

Mike Krzyzewski's Open Practice Series
Filmed
over a series of clinics and practice from 2005 to 2008, Duke University
head coach Mike Krzyzewski takes you inside basketball at Duke.
Coach K and his staff take you through a variety of drills designed for
his team's practices, skill development of players, improving the
shooting skills of his players, and an inside look at Duke's offense.
Open Practice: Team Practice Drills
Sharing the secrets of their success, Coach Mike Krzyzewski demonstrates
the drills and practice habits of his basketball team that have made
Duke one of the best college basketball programs in the country.
Several basketball fundamentals are developed from passing to shooting
on offense and playing a tough brand of man-to-man defense. These
are drills that are a must for any coach wanting to improve their teams
and to play a style of basketball similar to Duke.
Open Practice: Offensive Skill Development
Shooting, passing, dribbling, and player movement are all critical parts
of any offense. Duke's men's basketball team has been one of the
best in developing perimeter and post players to play at the college
level. Drills to develop individual offensive skills are presented
by Coach K and former
Duke assistant coaches Chris Collins (current Northwestern head coach)
and Steve Wojciechowski (current Marquette head coach).
Open Practice: Defensive Skill Development
A major point of emphasis for Duke University under Mike Krzyzewski has
been their man-to-man defense. This DVD presentation shows the
basic fundamentals required to successfully defend from footwork to
developing the proper stance. Several build-up drills for the
defense are also demonstrated starting with 1-on-1 drills and
progressing to 2-on-2 and 3-on-3 drills before going to full team drills
for man-to-man defense. Also presenting in this DVD are former
Duke assistant coaches Chris Collins (current Northwestern head coach)
and Steve Wojciechowski (current Marquette head coach).
Open Practice: Shooting Drills
Teams at Duke under Mike Krzyzewski have been known for their ability to
effectively shoot the basketball. In this DVD, Coach K and his
staff demonstrate 20 shooting drills that work on form and mechanics as
well as the different maneuvers in Duke's offense. This DVD

coach) and Johnny Dawkins (current Stanford head coach).

Duke's offense has been one of the most consistent in scoring the
basketball under Coach K's tenure. Presented are entries into
Duke's motion offense and how the team transitions from their fast break
offense into their half court game. Also shown is Duke's zone
offense using "Gap" and "3 Deep" zone offenses as well as several

BasketballCoach.com Presents: 50 Set Plays for Attacking Man-to-Man
Defense
Championship Productions in association with BasketballCoach.com has put
together what every coach looks for at every turn: plays. Eleven
of the very best coaches have had some of their best plays put together
on one DVD.
Each of the descriptions were taken from the Championship Productions
webpage that promotes the DVD/Download of the product being featured.
Mike Krzyzewski
Duke coaches Chris Collins and Mike Krzyzewski demonstrate the Elbow
Series, complete with Elbow Weak, Elbow Up, and Elbow Get. Each space
the floor for several 3-point shooters while freeing the rim from
defensive protection.
Fred Hoiberg
Iowa State Head Coach Fred Hoiberg shares his 50 Pistol, 50 Dive Stick,
and 50 Dive Special from a free-flowing, 5-out offensive formation.
Utilizing dribble hand-offs and misdirection, these plays create
multiple scoring options at the rim and from the 3-point range. Hoiberg
also offers his Horns Handoff Burn, High Stacks Pacer, L, Owl, and High
plays, giving you a variety of plays to create scoring opportunities
from all areas of the court.
Tom Izzo
Michigan State Head Coach Tom Izzo offers his Chest, Chest Down, Thumb
Down, Horns, and I plays. Each has sharp cuts, quick ball movement and
misdirection to help your players score at the rim or complete a weak
side shot attempt.
Larry Brown
Former NBA and current SMU Head Coach Larry Brown has his team run
through Split, Horns, and Horns Shake to get his post players moving
quickly from screen-and-roll perimeter action into low-block scoring
position. See how your posts can take advantage of the defenders
surrounding the action around the ball.
Gregg Marshall
Wichita State's Gregg Marshall pushes his team through 41 Iso, a play
designed to use stagger screens to free up an open shooter if the
initial baseline drive is cut off.
Greg McDermott
Creighton Head Coach Greg McDermott demonstrates a series of nine plays
that start from the same formations; each has a counter that shows how a
defense might play the various screening actions involved. Plays such as
Blitz, Blitz 1 Down, and Blitz 1 Back take advantage of movement as a
way to secure the post position for an easy score against an
out-of-place defender.
Dave Paulsen
Bucknell Head Coach Dave Paulsen shares his V-Entry and Rip, which help
create shots for players who may not be able to do so on their own.
Using stagger screens, quick ball reversals into ball screens, and
spacing puts the defense in difficult positions and aids in creating
shots off the pass rather than the dribble.
Tim Floyd
UTEP Head Coach Tim Floyd shows his NBA influence with the 43 play.
Court spacing and a high screen and roll leads to dribble penetration at
mid-key with two shooters at the ready in the deep corners if the
defense decides to collapse on the dribble drive.
Tara VanDerveer
Hall of Famer and current Stanford Head Coach Tara VanDerveer has her
team execute Scram, a play designed to dupe the defense into overplaying
a double screen, which leaves the screener open on a duck in at the rim.
Pat Summitt
Hall of Famer and former Tennessee Head Coach Pat Summitt, puts her team
through Spin, Horns, and Horns 2, a series of plays designed to get the
ball inside for a layup. Using block-to-block screens, duck-ins, or
screen and rolls, she shows how to get the ball into the post off of a
cut triggered by movement on the perimeter.
Bill Self
Kansas Head Coach Bill Self shares two key plays, Regular and Pitch
Ahead, which are both designed to get the ball inside where he knows
he'll have a size advantage. Stagger screens and ball reversals
ultimately end with a high low setup with the low post having inside
scoring position on an over-matched defender.

Coaching Middle School Basketball: Systems 4-Pack by Nick Cammarano
Nick Cammarano has proven himself as one of the best youth basketball
coaches in the country. His record at Frank Antonides Middle
School in New Jersey has many wanting to know how to have a perennially
successful boy's basketball program. Coach Cammarano has posted
eight seasons of 20 wins or more and two undefeated seasons including a
team that went 30-0 in 2003. His Systems 4-Pack gives insight on
some of the schemes that he has used to amass a win percentage of .715
as a head coach over the span of 15 seasons.
Coaching Middle School Basketball: The Box Offense
Many youth basketball coaches struggle to find a way to have an offense
that utilizes the strengths of their teams, provides balance, and is
easy to install and teach. Coach Nick Cammarano's DVD on the box
offense goes through multiple sets and options that can be used to take
advantage of your team's best players as well as keeping the offense
simple for the players to understand and learn. The DVD utilizes
5-on-0 and 5-on-5 teaching on the court as well as diagrams by Coach
Cammarano to provide concepts for sound offense at the youth level.
Coaching Middle School Basketball: 3-2 Match-Up Zone
Coach Nick Cammarano takes you inside his 3-2 match-up zone defense that
he has used during his coaching career to shut down offenses at the
youth basketball level. This DVD uses on-court demonstrations as
well as illustrations on the whiteboard to show how the defense works
and how to teach the defense with effective drilling. Coach
Cammarano also shows how to defend five different alignments against the
zone defense that will turn your zone into a stifling force shutting
down your opponents on a consistent basis.
Coaching Middle School Basketball: Baseline Out-of-Bounds Plays
Coach Nick Cammarano takes you through eight possible baseline
out-of-bounds plays that can be run by teams at the youth level against
either man-to-man or zone offenses. Also presented are drills that
can help players learn and properly execute the scoring options that
will be used during the course of the game to gain an extra eight to ten
points that could be the difference between winning and losing.
These plays will have your team executing special situations and scoring
all game, every game.
Coaching Middle School Basketball: The Wheel Offense
At the youth level, coaches have a hard time teaching their players to
attack a zone defense. Coach Nick Cammarano utilizes a version of
the Wheel Offense to attack zone defenses that he has used as a youth
coach over the last 15 years. Using on-court demonstrations and
diagrams, Coach Cammarano takes you through a zone offense that allows
for his teams to take advantage of the weaknesses of any zone as well as
the breakdown drills necessary to teach the offense. He finishes
with 5-on-5 play to show where the gaps are in the zones and how his
Wheel Offense exploits them.

his having adopted the approach of Nolan Richardson's "40 Minutes of
Hell" brand of basketball at his coaching stops at Alabama-Birmingham,
Missouri, and Arkansas. His latest DVD/Download from Championship
Productions takes you inside basketball practice at Arkansas by showing
how he builds his up-tempo style of basketball.
For his pressure defense (that keys his fast break), Coach Anderson
takes you through possible trapping opportunities and a pressure
half-court man-to-man defense that is broken down and taught to speed up
tempo and create fast breaks. He also uses conditioning drills to
get the players into condition to play fast basketball for 40 minutes
without wearing down while exhausting their opponents.
Finally, a four-on-four shell drill is demonstrated to show how the

zone. The half court defense that is taught is designed to never
give the other team a break from the pressure.

Shaka Smart's 2013 Basketball Coaches Clinic: Bruce Pearl: Pressure
Defense and Sideline Out of Bounds Plays
Coach Bruce Pearl's teams at Southern Indiana, Wisconsin-Milwaukee, and
Tennessee were known for their aggressive and up-tempo style of play.
Their calling card was their 1-2-1-1 full court pressure defense that
has turned each of these programs into big winners and taken them to
greater heights. In this DVD/download presentation, Coach Pearl
goes through all of the necessary details to employ a full court
pressure defense that will create steals, give you a more aggressive
team, and disrupts and exhausts your opponents.
Also included are sideline out of bounds plays that Coach Pearl ran
while at Tennessee. Each of these inbounds plays flows into the
Flex offense and can be run against man-to-man or zone defenses.
Pete Gillen: Zone Offense and Special Sets
Coach Pete Gillen had a successful run as a head coach at Virginia,
Providence, and Xavier spanning 20 seasons. He uses his
presentation with this on-court demonstration to go through the details
of building a zone offense. The 10 keys will help any coach who is
attempting to develop a successful offensive system to play against any
type of zone defense. Also presented are several specials for
end-of-clock and end-of-game situations regardless of what defense your
