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.

NBA skill trainer Rob McClanaghan shares his blueprint for building the complete perimeter player. The drills included in this DVD are the same drills that he used to help develop players like Kevin Durant, Derek Rose, Kevin Love and Russell Westbrook.

Starting with the fundamental principles of shooting, players get strategies for checking their form for perfection. By using stationary and moving ball handling drills, players learn to attack the rim with confidence against even their toughest opponent. Players will improve their skill by learning how to change speed and direction when they attack the rim from the top of the key, the wing, and off ball screens.

Shooting Form
Players can master their shooting techniques and skills using Coach McClanaghan’s on-court demonstration of how to properly shoot a ball.

Stationary and Moving Ball Handling
Even the most advanced players need to work on the basics. Coach McClanaghan uses stationary ball handling drills and movement drills to maximize the skill level of every player. This set of 10 simple, time-efficient drills can be done daily to improve players’ dribbling technique and accuracy. McClanaghan then works on several new dribbling moves that will create scoring opportunities for everyone on the court.

Change of Speed/Direction
Effective perimeter players must be able to deceive their defender by changing their speed and direction. To help build that skill, Coach McClanaghan shares a set of “off the wing,” game-like moves. In order to be effective, players need a jab step. Coach McClanaghan shows you what an effective jab step looks like as well as how to counter off the jab step. One move blends into the next and each counter makes you that much more potent with your hands on the ball on the wing.

Ball Screens
Guards that use ball screens must master the technique of setting up their defender and using ball screens to be a threat. Learn how to attack defenders whether they’re hedging, hard hedge, trapping, or going under the screen. With each new defense, players learn how to read the screen from the wing and understand how to react to be able to score.

Dribble pull-ups, lateral action and penetrate and kicks are also covered in this workout. Each has a drill or two that will help any player become more effective from the outside.

Coach McClanaghan focuses on details in every drill and spends time explaining the importance of inches. His drills are not only designed for skill development, but they improve conditioning and performance under duress, as well.

This is a jam-packed DVD from one of the best NBA skill trainers. Whether you’re looking for new idea or just a new drill, Coach McClanaghan will teach you how to build the best perimeter players you can find.

When it comes to skill development, most NBA players turn to the same skill trainer: Rob McClanaghan.

In this presentation, Coach McClanaghan takes you through the same post development drills he uses with his NBA players. Players learn to create scoring opportunities with their back to the basket, catching and facing up, duck-ins, rebounding, and trailing the play. With this new arsenal of post moves, your players – regardless of position – will become versatile, skillful scorers.

Back to the Basket
Coach McClanaghan starts out working close to the rim, which builds the skills players need to progress and score further away from the rim. With every move and drill, he outlines the details that players need to successfully beat their defender and score around the rim using no dribble, one dribble, or a combination of the two. For every go-to move, Coach McClanaghan teaches a countermeasure to keep the defense off balance. In the “Turnaround Series,” players learn to be patient, stay low, use effective footwork, and work slow to fast to beat their defender every time in the low post.

Catch and Face
Coach McClanaghan shows you how to be an offensive threat when facing the basket. As players move away from the low post to the mid post, they need to catch and square up in order to create move-scoring opportunities. All of the drills that Coach McClanaghan demonstrates can be used on the perimeter to make your post players a balanced scoring machine. By utilizing the “Jab Step,” he creates a series of moves and counters that allow players to rip and attack the basket using a spin back, 1-2 shot, or pushback shot for open looks.

Duck-Ins, Rebounding, and Trail Shot
Coach McClanaghan finishes building the complete post player by teaching how to use a duck in move and rebounding moves to improve finishing skills around the rim. Being able to score quickly and finish strong around the rim is crucial for any post player with a defender in their face. By emphasizing “holding the seal,” any post player will gain a true advantage while executing these moves. Coach McClanaghan shows a great rebounding drill that is not only effective with finishing after gaining the board but also helps develop the quickness and hand/eye coordination necessary to have success on the boards. As your post players run the floor, they must be able to put the ball on the floor and create a scoring opportunity using a jump shot. Coach McClanaghan demonstrates a jump shot drill that can be used to condition post players.

If you want an effective program to build your skills as a post player, this DVD is the tool for you. With post-up moves, face-up attacks and perimeter work you can gain a significant advantage over your competition. Coach McClanaghan gives you the drills, and a guideline for how to put together an effective workout.
