The high scoring offense at Largo High School is based on defensive pressure and forcing turnovers. Coach Howard opens with the half court shell drill. Elements included are jumping to the ball, help side, strong side, rotation and trapping the corner. Another drill that helps build team defense is the head on the ball drill. As the dribbler works up the floor, the defender stays in front of the ball, making the dribbler change directions. The drill ends with one-on-one play from half court. One of his signature trapping defenses is 25, which is a full court strategy when you let your man catch the ball in front and uses trapping. A straight man-to-man defensive system in the half court, 22, adds trapping in the half court. The two-on-one trap drill is a key drill for this system of play. Other drills address recovery, loose balls, taking the charge, and deflections.
with Jason Shay, University of Tennessee Assistant Men's Basketball Coach
Coach Shay believes that establishing position is the first priority to successful play in the post. To get open, Shay teaches two skills - the swim and spin moves. Once open, players are tutored on four moves: Drop step, jump hook middle, turn around middle and up and under. Shay breaks down six scoring moves into shots with and without the dribble. Shay covers three moves in the open stance segment, all of which work best when deep post position is not available. The quick series is good against man or zone, good for penetration and behind the zone on the baseline. These two moves are quick plays that create immediate scoring opportunities and are essential for any post player against the zone. In the high low series, players are drilled on footwork and positioning in the low post when the ball is high. Shay's cutting series makes post players more versatile from all areas of the floor. He demonstrates five cuts: the screen/step back, back door, duck in, down screen and trail.
Item Number: BD-0284333 Perimeter Play Development Drills & Moves
with Jason Shay, University of Tennessee Assistant Men's Basketball Coach
This perimeter play development DVD begins with dribble penetration using the Cheat Step. This step allows players to catch the ball closer to the basket and maintain balance as they drive to the basket. Eleven variations of this drill include the shot, go, fake, counter move, main street, pump fake and power, stride step, baseline sweep, baseline counter, reverse lay-up and power dribble. Another key skill for perimeter development is cutting and comes from the cutter series. This series is beneficial for conditioning and puts pressure on player to make shots. The six cuts demonstrated are Screen/step back, back door cut, down screen, flare screen, pro cut and ball screen. The ability to successfully use ball screens is important for all perimeter players. Shay teaches the following off ball screens: shooting, veer and shoot, shoot behind screen and shots after refusing the screen. Relocating on the perimeter after penetration is known as the Circle back. This important skill demands a series of three drills. To develop ball skills Shay teaches a two ball series that includes 10 unique variations that increases forearm strength, fingertip control and expert ball handling.
