with Billy Donovan, University of Florida Head Coach; 2006 NCAA Champions, 2000 NCAA Runner-up
As a coach, you know how hard it is to find time everyday to develop individual skills and fine-tune your offense. In this excellent DVD, Coach Billy Donovan teaches you how he incorporates player development and individual instruction into the development of his offense. Donovan stresses the importance of combining separate elements of your offense into different drills so that your players will have the comfort level they need during games. Donovan builds the progression running 3-on-0, 3-on-3, and 4-on-0 full-court drills and upon completion of the drill, getting into various phases of their offense. Donovan's unique style of drilling allows players to get used to seeing the offensive progressions under pressure. It is Coach Donovan's philosophy that players have to know what they are looking for in their offense and that the easiest way for them to accomplish this is to break the offense down and continually rehearse it. This video is a perfect tool to teach coaches how to increase the continuity of the offense while focusing on the individual players!

Coach Donovan has mastered the pick and roll offense, which has led to back-to-back NCAA championships, and has begun to duplicate itself in hundreds of gyms across the country. He begins by exploring the philosophy and building of this effective attack, starting with the flat pick and roll by a post player at the top of the key. He teaches the flat option 5-on-0, then shows it in action 5-on-5. Multiple opportunities to score come from this one concept in the half court. Major teaching points in the offense include: reads, slipping, spacing and screening angles. Real game situations are presented to help coaches anticipate their opponent's strategies when playing the pick and roll offense. Donovan has discovered three main ways the pick and roll is defended in college, and instructs the offense how to counter every move, including the switch and double team trap. When attacking the defensive 'show,' Donovan teaches the slip or ball reversal. This offense forces the defense to get back in transition and match up quickly, constantly close out and contain penetration. Every defensive adjustment to the pick and roll can be countered by the pick and roll.

Back-to-back National Titles, 2006 & 2007
Billy Donovan's relentless work ethic and leadership led the Florida Gators to back-to-back National Championships. The foundation of this success is a commitment to individual improvement every day of the year. His ability to make players better, stronger and more efficient on offense has led to his impeccable reputation as true teacher of the game. Donovan uses 30-40 minute sessions outside of practice to teach shooting, dribbling, post play, and perimeter skills. This skill development series is based on five competitive, point-based drills. The five drills focus on individual shooting improvement, passing, cutting, individual moves, dribbling and ball handling, shooting efficiency, conditioning, pivoting on the perimeter and post play development. The secret to Donovan's success at Florida comes from this five drill series. This DVD provides a competitive, challenging, and proactive plan for player development.
