Mike Anderson talks about “40 Minutes of Hell” Press at the Nike Basketball Coaching Clinic

Written by Coach Peterman

I have coached at the NCAA Division 2 (Southwestern Oklahoma State University), NAIA (USAO), and JUCO Levels (Blinn College and Carl Albert State College) as well as high school. I just felt that fellow coaches especially young coaches need to constantly work on their “game”. Just like the basketball players that we coach. We as coaches need to improve ourselves. That is my story and why I do this blog.

Mike Anderson about the 40 Minutes of Hell Press

Today’s basketball coaching clinic notes are on Mike Anderson and “40 Minutes of Hell” Press. Coach Anderson learned the “40 minutes of Hell” from Nolan Richardson when we was his assistant coach at the University of Arkansas.

It’s a great press defense that you should implement against more athletic and skilled opponents. With the 40 Minutes of Hell Press you can drawn every opponent. It’s a sophisticated press defense that leaves no chance to your opponents’ offensive plans. Both coaches Anderson and Richardson have achieved many successfull seasons with this specific press defense.

This is a great option if your players are not that gifted physically. It is good for college, youth teams and teams playing overseas. It’s also a good option for NBA teams, but it needs a lot of work to be implemented in the top level. It’s a great addition for your personal playbook, too. If you are looking for defenses then the 40 Minutes or Less press defense is where you should start from.

I hope that you enjoy these basketball notes.
