From our Contributors:

In Shooting Drills:
  • Blocking Pad Shooting Drills
    Using blocking pads, work on shooting and finishing strong at the basket while being fouled. Contact and fouls are a part of the game and players who can play with poise and skill through that contact will have an advantage during physical games.

Coaching Tips on General Use of Zone Defense
from 'Pressure Basketball' by Jack Ramsay
  1. Use a zone defense to change the pace of your opponents' attack.
  2. Use a zone defense to initiate fast-break attacks.
  3. Use a zone defense to protect a player in personal foul trouble.
  4. Use a zone defense to offset "special" play of opponent (especially at the end of the game).
  5. Use a zone defense to thwart a driving offensive attack.
  6. Use a zone defense against a weak outside shooting team (if you can find one).

Creating A Culture Of Toughness
Creating a Culture of Toughness

Coach Tim Miles brings a football like toughness to his drills and games through the G.A.T.A. mentality. G.A.T.A stands for Get After Their A**es and in this DVD Coach Miles demonstrates eleven drills that he uses to emphasize the effort it takes to be a great rebounding team and make hustle plays.

He starts by discussing their rules for rebounding and the mentality and technique necessary. The DVD then offers four team drills for both offensive and defensive rebounding and each drill is played as a game with winners and losers.

The DVD continues with four individual drills for rebounding and then finishes with three G.A.T.A. drills to help create the mentality of toughness necessary to create the hustle plays that can turn a game around.
