NCAA Final Four Bundle

CBS had a poll this past summer of the NCAA Top Basketball Coaches in the college basketball, and it was voted on by their peers. The NCAA Top Basketball Coaches Playbook has over 300 set plays from the top coaches in the NCAA. This playbook comes from that survey, and you will see some unique styles of play where anyone can get something out of this playbook.

The Michigan Wolverines Head Coach John Beilein runs a Princeton-hybrid offense that uses ball screens and great execution of set plays to flow into their motion offense. Coach Beilein’s original ideas along with NBA & NCAA methods allow his teams to flourish in the NCAA Tournament.

Bo Ryan just retired this past year from the Wisconsin Badgers head job, but his team still runs the legendary swing offense that causes the opposition tons of problem. They run their offense and use counters & set plays to mix it up.

Coach Mike Krzyzewski of the Duke Blue Devils is at the top of the list of successful coaches in NCAA Division 1 history. Coach Mike Krzyzewski has also coached the Olympic nation team to a Gold Medal on more than one occasion. Coach K’s ability to adapt to the changing times is what makes him unique. They use a lot of Horns and Elbow actions that you see in the NBA at Duke right now.

Former Vanderbilt Head Coach Kevin Stallings runs a similar style of play like John Beilein. Coach Stallings has taken his different offense to the University of Pittsburgh, and I expect him to do great things there. Coach Stallings does an excellent job of blending and adding counters to his motion offense.

Most coaches run set plays, but some of the best offenses are ones that are random and have no pattern. Davidson’s Bob McKillop and BYU’s Dave Rose run different styles of motion but have similar actions with spacing, dribble hand-offs, and ball screens. Notre Dame’s Mike Brey has his own unique style too. All of the coaches bring something different to the table regarding their offense. You can win basketball games a variety of ways.

Here is the breakdown of set plays in this playbook:
•  Michigan Wolverines (John Beilein)-80 Set plays
•  Davidson Wildcats (Bob McKillop)-35 Set plays
•  Wisconsin Badgers (Bo Ryan)-45 Set plays
•  Gonzaga Bulldogs (Mark Few)-31 Set plays
•  Duke Blue Devils (Mike Krzyzewski)-56 Set plays
•  BYU Cougars (Dave Rose)-21 Set plays
•  Notre Dame Fighting Irish (Mike Brey)-32 Set plays
•  Vanderbilt Commodores (Kevin Stallings)-26 Set plays

OK, now that the Super Bowl is over and the endless analysis fading, attention will slowly turn back to the court.  

March Madness is looming on the horizon…

One of the teams expected to be there happens to have one of the top defenses in the country.  Period. And there’s a reason for that…

The man at the helm is Head Coach Tony Bennett.  

(You may know that his father, Dick Bennett was the man who created the Pack Line Defense.)

Well… It just so happens, we now have this new playbook: “Encyclopedia of Pack Line Defense”.

This just-released playbook contains EVERYTHING you need to know about this incredibly effective approach – as it is employed by Coach Bennett at UV.

From key areas to positions and techniques to drills covering multiple scenarios…it’s all here.

Over 70 pages of Pack Line Defense expertise!

Remember:  Even if you don’t use the Pack Line Defense…you will undoubtedly have to face it.

Be ready! Committed to your success!

Coach Scott Peterman

P.S.  Having this defensive playbook – as used by the guys at the top – is a fantastic opportunity.

“Wikipedia” vs “Encyclopedia” [Help me get this new playbook name right…]

NOTE:  I do have a brand new playbook I wanted to let you know about, but before we get to that, I had a technical question I need to ask you first...

If I present a digital product to you (like this playbook) can I still call it an “Encyclopedia”?  

Or

Am I showing my age whenever I do that?

After all, we know that “Wikipedia” is the online world’s version of the encyclopedia, so is the word “encyclopedia” itself passé?

I’d love to hear your input after you read the information below!

Anywhoo…

(I don’t want to get too off topic, but I want to be sure I’m staying up with the times. ☺ )

Back to the playbook!

You know how excited I get when I get to announce a new playbook.  

So here we go!  (Insert the sound of trumpets here…and a visual of pigeons being set free)

I now have my hands on a brand new playbook called the “Encyclopedia of Motion Offense”

140 pages long
Breakdown of ALL the sets of motion offense
With 28 pages dedicated to just drills

The Table of Contents goes like this:

Philosophy, Rules, and Organization
Reads After Passing
Screening Situations
Screening Actions
Concepts Versus Teams that Switch
Concepts – Playing off the Post
Secondary Actions
Half Court Sets From Motion Teams
Drills, Drills, Drills…

As the name implies, if it has ANYTHING to do with the Motion Offense, it’s in here!

Now, if you go to Wikipedia, you’ll find a discussion on the motion offense in basketball…history…references…variations…etc.

What you WON’T find is anything like this actual collection!

So…I think you can see the purpose of my original question…

For now, I’m sticking with “Encyclopedia of Motion Offense”  

The word still inspires that air of completeness, doesn’t it?

It might be audacious, but in this case, it DEFINITELY works.

See you courtside,

Scott “up with times” Peterman

Yes, give me instant access to the Encyclopedia of Motion Offense!!

Click on the Faces in New Places 2017 Playbook today! It has 200 pages of basketball coaching information in this playbook.

At the end of every season, the news that dominates everyone’s attention is the coaching carousel. Who is getting fired? Who is getting hired? What coaches are leaving one job for another? What will the trickle down effect be?

For some coaches, they are looking to move up the ladder. For some, they are looking to get their first head-coaching job. Today, there is a lack of job security in coaching. So in some cases, a veteran coach will go for a change of scenery in hopes of more money, more security, or a return to a place they call home or their dream job. Whatever the situation, with the coaching change comes culture, philosophy, and tactical change.

This season, there are a number of coaching moves that have piqued my interest.

In the “Faces in New Places 2017” playbook, we examine 9 coaches who moved from one head-coaching job to another. The playbook features 190 plays from both veteran and rising coaches: Brad Underwood (Oklahoma State),
Bryce Drew (Vanderbilt), Chris Beard (Texas Tech), Jamie Dixon (TCU), Jerod Haase (Stanford), Josh Pastner (Georgia Tech), Kevin Stallings (Pitt), Steve Pikiell (Rutgers), and Tubby Smith (Memphis). These coaches have combined to win over 2,000 games in their careers and over 65% of their games.

Implement the man and zone sets, as well as baseline line out of bounds plays, that these coaches are utilizing to help push their new programs to higher levels of success.

We’ll see if these veterans can continue to have success at their new schools.

As you know by now… the Cavaliers are #1 for the first time since 1982, with Coach Tony Bennett leading the charge.

Let’s see… Only coach to win 16 conference games in consecutive seasons in ACC history. One of three to achieve back-to-back 30-win seasons. 2-time National Coach of the Year.

You get the idea… It’s not a huge surprise to most since Coach Tony Bennett has been regarded as the best defensive coach in college basketball for years, but… Just as important – his motion offense is incredibly efficient.

Well, this week, we’ve broken down his “blocker mover” offense for you, and explained it all in the info-packed 82-page “encyclopedia.”

• Scoring Areas
• Screening Breakdowns
• Half Court Zone Offense
• Post Play
• Drills
• Personnel

And more… It’s all here…

Packline Defense Rules are an effective strategy to beat it!

What are the Pack-Line Defense Rules?
The Pack-Line Defense Rules are an offensive basketball strategy that can be employed to beat the effectiveness of this defense. The pack-line defense rules are layed out in this 180 page “Attack the Pack” Playbook.

What is the Pack-Line Defense?
Dick Bennett made the Pack-line defense famous when he coached for the Washington State University Cougars, and his son Tony Bennett uses it now. Several other NCAA D1 coaches that use the pack-line defense are Chris Mack (Xavier) and Sean Miller (Arizona)

What is the Pack-Line Defense trying to accomplish?
The pack line defense pressures the basketball while the other four defensive men stay inside a line around the 17-foot mark away from the basket. The off-ball defensive members try to give help on dribble-drive and stop the kick and shoot. Too many coaches think that they can shoot enough three-point shots to beat the pack-line defense. The Pack defenders try to play cutters and screens with passion and try to force a slower tempo with fewer offensive possessions.

You will want to buy this “Attack the Pack” Playbook! Most high schools run some version of the pack-line defense. Don’t you want to know what to do when the pack-line defense is physical and well-positioned with your team?

It’s no fun to play the pack-line defense, but now you will know how to attack it. Check it out today!

Tom Izzo is one of the best coaches in the NCAA, and this playbook includes all of his half-court sets and quick hitters from the last few seasons. Tom Izzo has one of the deepest playbooks with multiple sets for every type of player. He designs his sets with a 2-big philosophy, as he recruits good post players who can play together at Michigan State.
