with Kevin Sutton,
Montverde Academy Men's Basketball Head Coach,
NIKE Skill Academy Instructor
To become a great shooter, players must concentrate and execute when fatigue begins to set in. Coach Sutton uses his own players in this on-court session where they are pushed physically and mentally. Each drill requires players to be shot ready, react to situations, use proper technique and maintain total concentration. The workout opens with a dynamic stretching routine that combines stretching with ball handling. In the full court, Sutton introduces 11 drills that focus on stretching and concentration. The Power 45 drill demands communication and teamwork, as well as shooting and footwork. Each player shoots 45 shots from three spots on the floor. Before transitioning to the next drill, players shoot free throws, jump rope or run sprints. The Around the World drill uses chairs in three spots six feet around the basket. Maneuvering around chairs while shooting makes this drill a challenge. Chairs are moved to half court for the M drill. After each shot, players run around chairs to the next spot. X shooting is also difficult by adding a back pedal to half court followed by a shot in transition. Defense is added to the X drill where everything that happens in the game of basketball is simulated. The final drill is sideline to sideline touches with chairs. Defensive slides again are an added feature of this workout. Cool down is a chair shooting drill that allows players to concentrate while winding down from the workout. Each drill has been carefully and creatively designed to push players while working on their shooting. Games are won and lost in the last minutes and fatigue often plays a huge part.

Year in and year out the Blue Demon transition game defeats opponents on a regular basis. The brilliance behind this transition game is the topic of this DVD by Coach Bruno. He shares 10 principles for playing transition basketball. Bruno believes that playing in the open court creates quick and easy baskets and puts pressure on your opponent. Establishing roles is important to this type of game. Bruno sets down eight principles for play, which are balls skills, footwork, advanced offensive skills, teaching the eyes and the ears, understanding the game and being in condition. Skills development is important when playing transition and is a big part of DePaul's strategy. Defending to run is a concept that stresses defense before running the floor. There is more scoring and sharing with a running team, which adds to the morale of the team. Bruno lists six prerequisites for the transition game. Bruno steps to the floor to demonstrate drills used in his powerful running game. The sweep drill teaches players to cover space with few dribbles and finishing at the basket. Full court lay-ups are mixed with team free throws. Ten drills are executed on this transition DVD by one of America's finest coaches.
with Stu Vetter,
Montrose Christian HS (MD) Head Coach;
USA Today National "Coach of the Year" (2x),
700+ career wins
Coach Vetter covers the fundamental components to his fast break system, including the concept of 'dribble economy.' Vetter believes the dribble is over used and coaches need to address this issue with their teams. To make his point, he instructs players to dribble from baseline to baseline in 3 or 4 dribbles. From half court, he proves that one or two dribbles are more than enough for high school players. Vetter shares his in-bounds philosophy, which is the catalyst to the fast break. After the in-bounds pass, players assume their roles down the floor and execute their secondary break, which is full of great scoring options. Options include pop, corner, loop, follow and hold. Reading the break is a gained skill that can help your team to efficiently take advantage of any defensive mistake. Vetter makes a convincing argument for using the secondary break at any level. Vetter includes a number of drills to help build fast break drills. These drills use the full court and demand precision passing, catching and finishing - all in a game-like situation.
