with Billy Tubbs,
Lamar University Head Coach,
former Oklahoma University Head Coach,
NCAA Runner-Up ('88), 2X National "Coach of the Year"

Coach Tubbs' press is a trapping, man-to-man press based on quickness, anticipation, and communication. This defense has been the cornerstone of one of the most successful coaches in the country. Using on-court demonstration, Tubbs details each player's responsibilities, when and how to trap, how to stunt, and transitional coverage once the press has been broken. He includes basic coverages for all press breaks and breakdown drills to improve coverage and communication skills. Tubbs teaches trapping areas, close down techniques, defending screens, and covering guard penetration, skip passes and other special situations. He also teaches special sideline calls such as trapping off the first dribble and trapping off the first pass. This is an enthusiastic and impressive instructional video for teaching one of the most feared trapping defenses in the game today!

Coach Smith teaches a full- and half-court defensive system that focuses on stealing the ball, challenging shooters, speeding up the game and disrupting your opponent's offense. Smith emphasizes that this system starts in the half-court focusing on eliminating post entry and penetration by pressuring the ball and fronting the post. He places special emphasis on defending the low post against down screens, back screens, cross screens and ball screens while also sealing the baseline and using help and recover techniques to stop penetration. In addition, he reveals his "five musts" for a successful defensive attack. Next, Smith breaks down the full-court match-up press using player demonstration and drills. He covers traps, secondary traps, cross-court traps and when to drop out of the press. Smith also demonstrates his Diamond 1-2-1-1 Full-Court Press which allows your players the freedom to gamble, create, and maintain defensive position and pressure. Use this time tested defensive system to help your team create turnovers and easy scoring opportunities!
