with Joanne P. McCallie,
Michigan State University, Head Women's Basketball Coach,
2005 NCAA National Runner-up

Coach McCallie has taken the Michigan State Women's Basketball program from 10 wins in the '00-'01 season to a runner-up finish in the 2005 NCAA National Championship game. In an energetic, lecture-style setting, McCallie shares the 12 secret components to building her dominating Match-Up Zone defense, which helped fuel that amazing turn around. Her Match-Up Defense isn't a man-to-man defense nor is it a traditional zone defense, it is a hybrid of multiple defenses. McCallie's Match-Up Zone begins as a 1-2-2 set that utilizes both zone and man-to-man principles. She breaks down the defense, focusing on the player's responsibilities, along with multiple drills to teach the correct slides and rotations. She shares her three different sets of rules for her defense: Pass rules, dribble rules and high-post rules. McCallie also demonstrates the key defensive schemes the Spartans have used effectively in the Match-Up Zone. She demonstrates her innovative break down drills to prevent penetration, post development, and covering the three point shot. Coach McCallie concludes this video showing specific coverage against various offensive fronts and schemes, including 3 out 2 in, overloads, high-post flash, dribble entry and wing and point guard cuts. This is an excellent video on how to teach this unique and effective Match-Up Zone defense. McCallie stresses the importance of team building and how it will enhance your overall program development and how this will build a cohesive unit on and off the court.
