Coaches,
I just released my newest playbook which is 82 pages long. It is Dribble Drive Motion Offense: “How to Attack Sagging man and Zone defenses with DDM”. I spent the last month and a half breaking down 75 basketball games from Memphis Tigers led by Coach John Calipari, UMASS led by Derek Kellogg / Vance Walberg, and Marist College led by Chucky Martin (Former John Calipari Assistant Coach at Memphis).
I get a lot of requests on how do you use DDM to attack sagging man defense and versus zone defenses that I decided to do a lot of research. I noticed that all the teams used what I call “entry sets” to get their team into Dribble Drive Motion Offense and to create triple gaps. UMASS ran a lot of open post dribble-drive motion offense, because of their personnel and it was the first year in the system. These are just some ideas on how to attack sagging man defense and zone defenses using a DDM set.
Table of Contents:
Sets versus Sagging Man Defense: 18 entry sets
Sets versus Zone Defense: 16 zone offense sets
Sets versus Pressure Defenses: 2 set plays
Sets versus Junk Defenses: 2 set plays
Favorite Sets for DDM teams: 12 set plays
DDM Set Plays versus odd or even zones: 9 set plays
DDM Concepts: 11 Plays
I think that if you run dribble drive motion offense or have someone in your league that runs it. You will be able to gain more insight into ways to incorporate DDM concepts into your offense. Your dribble-drive motion offense will run smoothly against sagging man defense and zone defenses with these set plays to get you into DDM.
Just released a new eBook in the Basketball Secrets Unleashed Series. The Dribble Drive Motion Offense “Entry Sets” playbook is now available to you. It has been a very long project that has taken over 4 years to accomplish. I was like you and loved the “AAASA” or Dribble Drive Motion Offense about 5 years ago. I have tape / dvd on DDM from High School, College, and NBA Teams that run DDM. This eBook is some of the earlier entry sets that I compiled from video, talking with DDM coaches, and just reading studying it.
I bet that you are saying… What do you mean “Entry Sets”? About three years ago, when DDM broke on the national scene thanks to the Memphis Tigers, I noticed something. I noticed that the really good teams were running sets into DDM. I started to ask around and got all the video and went to basketball clinics like you. Pepperdine, Memphis, Western Michigan, VMI, and UMASS this year were mainly running sets into DDM. I did notice a little bit of this trend at Fresno City College, but not as much as now.
I have all the dribble drive motion offense DVDs that are on the market. I have heard people tell me that you have to teach the penetration positions (drop, drag, and rack zone) spots, before you can teach defensive reads. That it is like running regular motion, you need to know the screens, before you can teach the cuts off the screens. They said that you need to know what to do on the drag zone drive, before I can worry about where the defender is. Of course, you have to buy these two DVDs to teach the spots, while you buy these two DVDs to teach the reads. Most coaches tell me that it is just too complex to learn.
Last year, I put out a Dribble Drive Motion Offense ebook and most coaches could piece everything together. Questions that I always heard where: I love the offense, but just wish that it wasn’t so much free lance from the beginning. I wish that I could have some “structure” to it. Some of the more successful high school teams across the country started to run some sets with it. I really think that it helps pull the offense together.
I have compiled a little bit of my research from dozens of high school, AAU, Small College, NCAA Division 1, and NBA teams into these entry sets. I think that it will make things so less complication and will help to advance your team’s learning curve of Dribble Drive Motion Offense.

Coaches,
I hope that you enjoy it. It was the biggest project that I have done in quite a while. This eBook is the younger days of DDM, because coaches can it or tweak it every year, but I think that you will enjoy what we have for you.

I just finished putting the finishing touches on my latest eBook: Dribble Drive Motion Offense: “The Book on DDM and the little things to it”. I get asked questions all the time about Dribble Drive Motion Offense especially since it has only been around for the general coaching community about three years. DDM has increased in its popularity since John Calipari started using it at Memphis and now Kentucky. I have just tried to answer some of the questions about DDM that I get.
Table of Contents:
Breakdown and Drop Zones
Rack and Drag Zones
All zones on the court
Positions in the half court
Simple Offensive Basics
Clinic Notes that have never been released on Vance Walberg, John Calipari, and Chucky Martin.
DDM Entry Sets: Two and Three Digit sets
Bonus Footage: DDM vs. Sagging Man Defense
Bonus Footage: DDM vs. Zones
It is basically an eBook that covers all the little things that will make DDM run a lot better. I have tried to cover most of the problems that people have. It is basically “DDM for Dummies”, but with tons of details.
Sample: Tip for DDM
Sample Tip: DDM versus Sagging Man Defense
I hope that this eBook helps you out this season. It should clear up a lot of confusion about the “little things” that make dribble-drive motion offense tick. You need to check it out.

Discover how to relentlessly ATTACK even the most unforgiving defenses (and have them at your mercy) using George Karl’s proven version of the “Dribble Drive Motion Offense” system.
Gain access to the EXACT plays used by NBA powerhouse Denver Nuggets to become one of the fastest teams on the planet!
There’s something to be said about watching fast-paced teams play…
…you look at teams like the Phoenix Suns (when they had Nash/Stoudemire), Oklahoma City Thunder, Miami Heat, Los Angeles Clippers…..
They all move the ball up and down the court within a matter of seconds and the offensive action and ball movement never stops.
I don’t care what kind of defense you’re up against; if you have them scrambling from side-to-side, trying to guard against penetration and then rushing towards the 3-point line to contest outside jumpers…
…your team’s offense is winning the battle.
Of course, you have to make the shots to actually put points up on the board, but the more shots you get at the rim after breaking through their defensive perimeter…
...the more opportunities you give yourself to score….time and time again.
So how do you accomplish this?
Well, George Karl and the Denver Nuggets know a thing or two about it. They are attacking the rest of the NBA with a dynamic dribble-drive offense that was made popular by Vance Walberg. George Karl hired Vance Walberg as a Full Time NBA Assistant Coach this past offseason.
A former high school and college coach, Walberg is the innovator of what’s called the dribble-drive motion offense. Walberg would put four players on the perimeter and, as one player attacked the basket, the offensive post player would open space by moving to the weak side of the lane. Meanwhile, the other three perimeter players would rotate accordingly. If that particular dribble-drive play failed, the next ball handler would just dribble and drive again.
Once seen as wacky, the dribble-drive offense has helped turn John Calipari-coached teams into collegiate powerhouses. The Nuggets use dribble-drive concepts in about 50 percent of their offense, Coach George Karl said. Constant motion is the key to the success of the dribble-drive offense.
The facts don’t lie…here’s what the Nuggets are enjoying right now:
1) The Nuggets are getting to the rim more than any team in the league.
The best shot in basketball is at the rim, and the Nuggets take 33.2 shots per game at the rim.
2) The Nuggets shoot few mid-range jumpers.
The most inefficient shot in half-court basketball is a contested long 2-pointer.
3) The Nuggets are the fastest paced team in the league.
The Nuggets are using 97.4 possessions per game. Playing faster means easy buckets in transition and open shots and lanes to the rim while defenses scramble to get set. Karl has drilled his players to catch and go–no killing grass with the dribble. In practice, players have to shoot, pass, or attack within 3 seconds of catching the ball or it’s a turnover. Learning to play fast like this keeps defenses on their heels.
4) The Nuggets fill the perimeter with 3-point shooters.
While the Suns and Nuggets shoot a similar amount of threes, the Nuggets tend to have more 3-point shooting wings on the court at a time. When the Nuggets run a pick-and-roll, they are much more likely than the Suns to have decent 3-point shooters dotting the perimeter at the 2, 3, and 4 positions. The effect isn’t actually that they shoot more threes, but that they are able to get to the rim easier. Spacing with shooters opens up lanes into the paint.
Doesn’t it sound like your team’s offense could benefit from this system?
I’ve packaged together some killer plays from the Denver Nuggets playbook – the same exact ones they’re using on the floor each and every game.
Here’s what you’re going to instantly get access to:
• Learn the Denver Nuggets' top 9 plays to score
• Find out what they do on transition offense (22 different breaks)
• Look at the 44 different half-court set plays that they run
• Walk through the 9 sideline out of bounds plays that they use
• See how they score with the six baseline out of bounds plays
Instantly get your hands on over 80 winning plays in total!
Listen, the fact is…..
...no matter what level you coach at or what your experience is, you will love what’s inside. That is, if you want to experience what it’s like to see opposing coaches scratching their heads trying to figure out how their defensive game plan failed them so miserably.
If only they knew our little secret.
In a nutshell, you’re getting everything you need to start seeing results right away – and if you ever need to refresh your memory on the inner guts of a specific play, all you need to do is just double-click your electronic playbook and voila – it’s instantly ready to be dissected.
What do you know about the Brooklyn Nets Offense and its second-year coach, Kenny Atkinson?
Coach Atkinson has developed the Brooklyn Nets Offense into a player-friendly read and attack system. I think that the Nets Offense is a glimpse into the future, so you better check it out. If you aren’t running this offense, then you will be defending against it soon.
Last year, the Brooklyn Nets led the NBA in pace and ranked high in other offense-volume statistics. Coach Atkinson has developed a system that can be used even with roster turnover in future basketball seasons.
The Brooklyn Nets Offense uses ball movement, spacing, and teamwork. There are no set plays, but the only initial movement. The Nets have to read the defense to find the best shot for their team. Each different set has numerous options in it.

Where does the Brooklyn Nets Offense come from?
The primary system comes from Mike Budenholzer. Several of the Nets' key actions come from the Atlanta Hawks Playbook, but with their own Brooklyn style. Coach Atkinson runs a motion offense that is free-flowing and very fast paced. The coaches encourage each player to shoot his shot if he is open.
Most of the Brooklyn Nets Offense has two primary actions: strong and weak.
In the strong set, they reverse the ball side to side, with a post player on the block and the wing in the opposite corner.
The weak set is where the post-up player and corner player are on the same side of the court. This type of set will allow a quick point guard to open up the offense.
The Nets Offense will also use the Horns set, pick and pop, and pick and roll type sets.
The main thing that I noticed from the Nets offense is that encourages players to create and attack the defense. Any player can bring the ball up and start up the offense. Some big men even bring the ball up. There are no bad shots, just bad decisions.
Coach Kenny Atkinson’s offense doesn’t limit players, but it expands their game, and the players welcome it.
Why should your team look at this Brooklyn Nets Offense?
The Nets are treating this NBA franchise like a “program.” They are following the San Antonio Spurs approach where you can plug anyone in their system, and they can run it. The offense is involved, but it will pay off in the end for your team.
Kenny Atkinson comes from the Gregg Popovich coaching tree and is a child of the Mike D’Antoni tree too. The offense will be the fastest pace in the NBA. This attack will allow a team that is devoid of stars and sheet talent to succeed.
The Brooklyn Nets are finally modern. It’s your time now!
