Kevin McGeehan Three Dvd Pack

Open Practice: Individual Drills & Team Drills – Basketball — Championship Productions, Inc.

with Kevin McGeehan, Campbell University Head Coach;
former Associate Head Coach at Richmond

This exclusive open practice presentation is a great example of a comprehensive, goal-oriented practice. Up-and-coming head coach Kevin McGeehan not only lets you witness a live practice, he also shares keen insights on goals and reasoning for each element of it. From warm-up to conclusion, the emphasis is on fundamentals, attention to detail in execution and team communication. Practice has an air of fulfilling the “bigger picture.”

All areas of the game are addressed, so every drill has a specific role and purpose in building and growing towards the ultimate goal. Shooting drills are breakdowns of the offensive strategy. Hustle and defense drills complement the overall defensive strategy. And to make sense of it all, you are introduced to the program’s approach to advanced statistics to improve the overall quality of the team.

Practice begins with a warm-up. This is a critical part of practice to Coach McGeehan, who believes that it should be maximized by implementing skill work. A brief “individual skill work” session is followed by a team warm-up that’s also filled with skill work.

To practice their intricate “spread motion attack offense,” various groups work 5-on-0, emphasizing execution, especially timing, and spacing for each variation. Every drill is competitive as players go against each other 5-on-5 and 3-on-3. The “pirate” drill is a great 5-on-5 drill that’s competitive at both ends and forces the team to transition into defense as quickly and effectively as possible. In the next segment, you witness Campbell’s match-up zone defense, as they practice against a 1-4 high setup and learn the different defensive rotations and switches.

The last part of the presentation is dedicated to the coaching staff’s use of advanced statistics in practice. You’ll learn what the staff tracks, why and how to use it to motivate players’ competitive spirit. Analyzing players’ practice performance on a daily basis gives coaches and players great insight and deeper understanding of their own strengths and weaknesses.

Get a lesson from this fast-rising coach on how he uses “add ons” to improve drills that have been taught for decades to take his program to the next level. Use every element of practice, even warm-up, will challenge your players to execute fundamentals to perfection.

The Spread Motion Attack Offense – Basketball — Championship Productions, Inc.

with Kevin McGeehan, Campbell University Head Coach;
former Associate Head Coach at Richmond under former Head Coach Chris Mooney

Space the floor and take advantage of interchangeable players who can pass, dribble and shoot with the spread motion attack offense. Kevin McGeehan gives you a detailed on-court demonstration of this offense that will give your players the structure they need to space the floor and play as a team to create opportunities for open jump shots and easy layups.

Developed over time, the spread motion attack is a combination of Pete Carrill’s Princeton Offense, NBA-style ball screens and elements of the dribble drive motion offense. Coach McGeehan not only shows you the basic principles and movements, he also explains the options (reads) each player has at any given moment.

Coach McGeehan starts with a brief overview of the philosophy behind the spread motion attack, as well as how it evolved over time to adjust to new defensive trends as well as various rosters and conference opponents. The information he shares in this portion of the presentation will enable you to adapt and adjust the offensive system to your own program. A big component of this motion offense-and one that will make your team tough to prepare for-is a seamless movement from a 1-2-2 spread setup to a 4-out-1-in setup (“point”) and back. Step-by-step, Coach McGeehan explains the basic setups, the importance of spacing, how to exploit backdoor cuts, and teaching timing for specific passes and scenarios.

He continues with a 1-2-2 spread setup to “point” (4-out-1-in) using various entries and diverse scenarios. Here is where Coach McGeehan (and his system) shines because what usually would take an entire afternoon to explain, he breaks down into easily understood “if/then” scenarios. This action gets the ball into the high post through transition and creates multiple scoring opportunities by screening away. This set can also change the angle of the screen away to different spots on the floor to initiate different offensive options. This basic action allows players to score through backdoor cuts, open jump shots, dribble handoffs, ball screens, drift screens and more. You’ll also learn variations to these basic sets that use “color calls” to signal different offensive actions and counter defensive tactics.

The premise of the spread motion attack offense is putting your players in a position to accurately, effectively and intuitively read the defense to create scoring opportunities. Learn how to transition into the basic sets of the offense and play through a variety of options that are created in the structured offense. With time, your team will not only be the toughest team to prepare for but your players will develop a very high basketball IQ.

The Adjustable 3-2 Match Up Zone Defense – Basketball — Championship Productions, Inc.

with Kevin McGeehan, Campbell University Head Coach;
former Associate Head Coach at Richmond

Take your zone defense to the next level by incorporating the strategies of Kevin McGeehan’s true match-up zone. Coach McGeehan has a history of great defensive teams. In this on-court presentation, he teaches how to implement a match-up zone defense that will confuse and frustrate opponents into taking low percentage jump shots. By mixing traditional man-to-man defense principles with the rim protection of a zone, Coach McGeehan takes away the effectiveness of dribble drives and ball screens, the two most-used offensive means of attack.

The session starts with the basics for each position and how the other positions match up based on how the point guard picks up. Each position has a specific role and duty, starting with not allowing any uncontested shots, containing dribble penetration and blocking face-cuts. You’ll see how 1 and 2 guard fronts are matched up as well how they defend the post. Coach McGeehan demonstrates how positioning prevents dribble penetration.

Using a 5-on-5 shell drill, Coach McGeehan explains the basic rules and reactions. You’ll learn how to handle screens, a technique for dealing with cutters, where the help needs be and how to handle the skip pass. One of the goals of a zone offense is to distort the defense. Coach McGeehan shows how his teams keep their shape, which is a key component to the success of his defense.

Once the basics are covered, you’ll learn how to defend a variety of offensive actions and alignments. Coach McGeehan explains, in detail, how the basic rules of team defense work against each of these actions in addition to specific strategies for certain hard to guard plays. Learn how to defend five of the most common offensive movements:

4-out-1-in (pass-and cut, as well as swing stagger screens and baseline runners)Carolina screens (back-screens, and down-screens)Ball screens (pick-and-roll, pick-and-pop, high ball screens)”V” (Horns)1-4 High
With Coach McGeehan’s instruction, you’ll be able to confuse and frustrate your opponents on a nightly basis. Instead of adjusting your defense to their offense, they will be forced to adjust to you. Because of its strong ties to man-to-man defense, you can also use it as a secondary defense, which makes it even harder to dissect. Opponents will be helpless as they try to figure out how to beat this dominant defensive system.
