Mike Anderson’s belief in an attacking basketball style is on display in this DVD.

Coach Anderson’s “Run and Execute” transition game is built up from two player, three player, four player, and five player drills that enhance skill development for all positions. He shows his 4-Out-1-In transition offense and the basic reads it uses. The build up for the offense starts by using the short corner options going 2-on-0, 3-on-0, 4-on-0, and 5-on-0. The skip-pass and dribble penetration options are included as well.

Coach Anderson’s up-tempo offense gets the ball up the floor so you can run your offense as quickly as possible. This makes it difficult for your opponent to match-up defensively the way they want to.

Basketball in the Fast Lane

with Bo Kimble,
Shoreline Community College Volunteer Assistant coach;
All-American player at Loyola Marymount University, led the nation in scoring at 35.3 ppg in 1989-1990 at LMU; 1990 West Coast Conference player of the year; 8th overall draft pick in the 1990 NBA Draft

and Greg Turcott, Shoreline Community College Head Coach

Add an alternative offensive approach to your game plan that applies constant pressure on your opponent’s defense.

Legendary Loyola Marymount star Bo Kimble made a name for himself as the centerpiece of the fastest-paced, highest scoring juggernaut in the NCAA while attending Loyola Marymount University. Now, Kimble, along with Shoreline Community College Head Coach Greg Turcott, carry on the Paul Westhead tradition with a high-flying fast break game that leaves opponents gasping for air and creates wide-open layup and three-point opportunities for your offense. Witness for yourself the nuances of this “organized chaos” and discover why it can be so successful–even more so in today’s era.

Kimble and Turcott, install the offense for you in an easy to learn, step-by-step fashion, beginning with the alignment of the player positioning on the court, followed by explanations of the various options within the system as they pertain to each of the five players. You’ll also get a series of break down drills that illustrate the options previously drawn in a whiteboard session. Drills progress from 3 v 0 to 5 v 2 action where the specific axioms required by the offense are discussed, demonstrated, and reinforced. With Coach Kimble on the whiteboard and Coach Turcott giving coaching points on the court, they combine to give a complete explanation of the system in an easily understood fashion.

This scheme is designed to wear down the opponent over time and to force them to play an uncommon style of basketball. Kimble diagrams each of the individual offensive options sequentially on a white board. Each player on the court is assigned a number and that number corresponds to a responsibility for the fast break. The numbering system helps players get to areas on the court, which helps create space for the fast break offense to be most effective. Players and numbers can be interchangeable; your personnel will determine where you feel certain players would best fit.

Following the whiteboard introduction, each option is shown live on court first using 5 v 0 cycle drills. These drills teach your team how to play fast by reinforcing the responsibilities and options of each player.

The coaches then put their team through breakdown, continuity and sequence drills.

• The breakdown drills allow two to four players to focus on their options while quickly moving down court. This allows for more repetitions in their roles on the court.
• The continuity drill runs the team through the cycle of plays with active defense to “train the eyes” for teammate recognition and open passing lanes up ahead.
• The sequence breakdowns are optional passing sequences to beat adjusting defenses to the basic main plays. The drills covered are adaptable to individual workouts or full team situations.

Once believed to be a system for only elite level talent, Bo Kimble explains and breaks down each segment of the scheme and preaches that it can be even more successful for teams with a talent disadvantage. Kimble provides his expert knowledge on the commitment level and passion required to select such a fast-paced, up-tempo, fast break offense.

Basketball in the Fast Lane – Pressure Defense

with Bo Kimble,
Shoreline Community College Volunteer Assistant coach;
All-American player at Loyola Marymount University, led the nation in scoring at 35.3 ppg in 1989-1990 at LMU; 1990 West Coast Conference player of the year; 8th overall draft pick in the 1990 NBA Draft

and Greg Turcott, Shoreline Community College Head Coach

Create havoc with your opponent in the full court and half court, and take opponents out of their offensive rhythm!

Bo Kimble, former Loyola Marymount All-American, brings you a pressure defensive system to compliment your fast break offense and control the tempo of any team you play. Coach Kimble diagrams how to use the 1-2-1-1 press to speed up the offense to the point of losing control. This defense uses the principles of taking away middle, pressuring the ball and playing the passing lane. Various traps and ball pressure force turnovers by taking the ball out of the ball handler’s hands and forcing weaker ball handlers to handle the ball.

Coach Kimble diagrams the set up of the 1-2-1-1 press and shows you how to force the ball up the sidelines and into a suffocating half court trap. He diagrams how to use the 10 second count, half court lines and out of bound lines as secondary defenders to make your opponent feel pressured from every angle. Surprise your opponent when the ball crosses half court with a late trap that will disrupt their offensive system.

You’ll also learn the “off press” where the defense sets up the same way, but takes the 4-man and has him off the ball forcing a double team as soon as the first pass is made. Kimble demonstrates how to force your opponent to create long plays that feed into the defensive system. Force your opponent to make decisions that they are not used to making!

Coach Kimble finishes his systematic approach with the Stay Press and the Free Throw Press. The Stay Press provides run-and-jump techniques to confuse opponents by delaying your trapping action. In his Free Throw Press, he teaches you how to pressure the rebounder from every angle forcing him to make an off balance pass and allowing you to run-and-jump for uncontested lay-ups.

The 1-2-1-1 full-court pressure defense Kimble demonstrates in this video helped Loyola Marymount force over 22 turnovers per game in the 1990 NCAA season. If you want to play basketball in the fast lane, this full-court pressure system will raise the tempo of the game to an extreme pace and simply wear out your opponents.

Break the rhythm of your opponent’s offense with this unique ball hawking and trapping match-up zone defense.

Mike Dunlap, master of the 1-1-3 Match-up Zone, takes you through a detailed process on how to implement the 1-1-3 match-up zone into your defensive philosophy. After researching through several coaches that have had success with the 1-1-3, Coach Dunlap has complied his own version of the 1-1-3, which is based upon man-to-man principles. Dunlap takes you through how he trains his players to pressure the ball relentlessly, teaching you his five trademarks of the 1-1-3 match-up zone: stance and hands, jumping to the ball, communication, rebounding, and ball pressure/pressuring the neutral zone.

As he discusses the five trademarks of the 1-1-3, Coach Dunlap goes in detail as to how he trains his players and the simple drills he uses to stress the importance of applying great ball pressure in order to break the rhythm of the offensive player. In order for this defense to have its desired effect, the on-ball defender must be pressuring the ball and making things uncomfortable. Central to this component is the notion of taking away the offensive player’s `6 inch window.’ This is the space that offensive players typically operate from and Dunlap teaches his players to disrupt this neutral zone.

Coach Dunlap then takes his players through stance, hands and jumping to the ball. The main concept regarding technique is to constantly trace the line of the ball with active hands and to maintain a square stance that is even with the line of the ball. He has his players keep their hands high so that a shooter does not get comfortable bringing ball up to shoot. The head should be in line with the ball in order to better trace the ball. Dunlap talks about jumping to the ball in order to create great defensive spacing. Defensive spacing is all five guys working as one and moving as one on the flight of the ball. He uses a simple jump to the ball drill, but makes his players go to the extreme by going from one side of the floor to the other in order to build an atmosphere of extreme defense.

The last two trademarks Dunlap discusses are communication and rebounding. When players are faced with intense in-game pressure, communication is the first thing that team’s struggle to maintain. As such, Dunlap stresses the significance of teaching players to communicate incessantly during practice. He trains his players to use short one word specific calls in order to communicate with each other. The final point that Dunlap stresses is rebounding the basketball. This is perhaps the most important aspect of the defense as it is the concept that indicates whether the defense has closed out a defensive possession or not. He teaches his players to rebound out of a triangle while having a “sweeper” go to the weakside and solidify where most of the shots come off the rim. He trains his players to play the percentages when it comes to rebounding. He believes solidifying the weakside will allow for a greater advantage in rebounding.

Technical Aspects of the 1-1-3 Defense
Following the major teaching points of the 1-1-3, Coach Dunlap examines several technical aspects of the match-up zone defense. He starts by showing his players how to closeout whether it be a long or a short closeout. He teaches his players to use a cheat step and whip their opposite leg around in order to closeout quicker. Dunlap discusses how they side pin the dribbler in order to prevent ball reversal. He teaches his players to keep the ball in the alley as long as possible in order to make the player feel uncomfortable.A major part to teaching the 1-1-3 matchup zone is what Dunlap calls counting the sideline alleys. This helps his players know how to rotate and how to set up their match ups. He breaks down what to do if there are one, two or three players in the alley. He also discusses what to do if a your forwards make the mistake of closing out to the first pass instead of your guards.

Coach Dunlap finishes his technical breakdown by showing you how to defend different positions based on your opponents strengths. He takes you through guard and forward rotation to master the elbow defense (the elbow is critical to beating any zone). If your opponent is a post first team, he takes you through how to front the post and double or triple the post player when he catches. If your opponent is great at dribble penetration, Dunlap shows you how to use the 1-1-3 zone rotations to stunt and trap out of dribble penetration. Finally, Mike takes you through several difficult situations out of the 1-1-3 that are sure to help you shut down any counter your opponent has.

This video tutorial of the 1-1-3 Match-up Zone is a must have for any coach looking to learn or implement zone principles. All aspects from A-Z are covered in a very efficient and informative way, from on court player instruction, to chalkboard presentation, to in-game highlights. Every fundamental detail is explained, along with the reasoning behind it, and supporting information such as statistical analysis is further provided as support. The strategies outlined in this presentation allowed Metro State College to hold its opponents to under 60 points per game.
