Teaching PNR Offence that attacks EVERY type of defence.

In this video, I explain the concept of how we use the Pick and Roll in the middle of the floor (Mid PNR) as a method for creating advantages on offence. Specifically, I detail the way I teach players to set up their defender prior to the Pick and roll, different ways to attack all types of defensive coverages, as well as, how all five players react off the ball before and after the screen.

In this video, I go through a simple progression of how to teach team defensive concepts that will stifle your opponents.  I cover defence on the ball, off ball stance and positioning, as well as, rotations to stop penetration.  

I also teach three different coverages to guard the pick and roll, the most dangerous action in the game of basketball.  The coverages include:

- Pressure Coverage: Hard Hedge

- 2v2 Coverage: 'Flat'

- Switching Coverage

These tactics and concepts covered in this video are relevant for youth teams as well as professional clubs.  

Atlanta Hawks Assistant Coach, Matt Hill, recently completed a series of coaching clinics in Australia.  This video is from his second clinic, in Melbourne, on the topic of 'Transition Offence'.  

Matt is one of the best in the NBA in the area of Player Development.  He has worked with NBA All-Stars Victor Oladipo, Nikola Vucevic and Vince Carter, as well as, NBA First Team All Rookie Trae Young.

In this clinic, Coach Hill takes the audience through the Atlanta Hawks' Transition Offence which created the 3rd highest quality of shots in the NBA (Shots in the paint and from the 3pt line) in the 2018-2019 season.  The video includes the method for how the Hawks divide the shot clock into phases, what they consider to be a great shot, how they space the floor and how they attack to create advantages.  He also goes into specific sets out of their "AB" and "C" spacing.  

The simplicity of the teaching, drilling, and the sets themselves, makes this video a must watch for coaches from the youth level all the way up to the professional ranks.

This video takes you through some of my favourite drills for teaching decision making on offence.  These drills I have used with both pro teams and youth teams over my career.  
 
All the drills have defence included so that the offensive players can read when to pass, shoot or drive.  There are ten (10) different drills that build upon each other and progress from 2v1, to 3v2, then up to 3v3.  The three main offensive concepts that we focus on are 1) Attacking off the catch 2) Passing against the grain 3) Drive, Kick, Clear (DKC).  
 
Every drill has opportunities for multiple players to get shots in the same repetition of the drill.  We have a Dr Dish machine in each drill; however, these drills can still be used without the machine by adding in another passing line.  
 
If you are looking for drills to get a high volume of shots up AND teach decision making with your players, then this is the video to purchase!

In this video, I go through my method of teaching individual offence within a team dynamic - called 'advantage based offence'.  I show how individual offensive skills can be taught, developed and applied much more effectively in a team environment than through individual practice.  

The video includes important offensive concepts like - What is an advantage? How do we create advantages?  Once we create an advantage, how do we attack the best advantage?

The 'advantaged based offence' is taught through 'small sided games' which are fun, dynamic and engaging scenarios for athletes to play in to learn the concepts. These games work on a variety of key offensive ideas such as spacing, ball movement, individual offence, decision making and shot selection.  

Additionally, the video also includes MORE 'Position Pressure' individual defensive drills.  These build on my first individual defence video (`Position Pressure` - teaching aggressive individual defence) which can be purchased at:

Atlanta Hawks Assistant Coach, Matt Hill, recently completed a series of coaching clinics in Australia.  The clinics were staged by Coach Liam Flynn basketball services.  This video is from his first clinic, in Sydney, on the topic of 'Player Development'.  

Matt is one of the best in the NBA in the area of Player Development.  He has worked with NBA All-Stars Victor Oladipo, Nikola Vucevic and Vince Carter, as well as, NBA First Team All Rookie Trae Young.

In this clinic, Coach Hill takes the audience through the Atlanta Hawks' philosophy on Player Development and how they instil this 'working' culture through their 'daily vitamins'.  He conducts workouts for both guards and bigs which feature ball handling, finishing, shooting and decision making.  He then takes questions from the audience on a wide range of subjects.  

The simplicity of the teaching and drilling makes this video a must watch for coaches from the youth level all the way up to the professional ranks.

If Shooting is the premium skill on offence, then the ability to guard the ball and put pressure on your opponent individually is the premium skill on defence.  In this video, I describe my personal philosophy on individual defence (which I call “Position Pressure”) and explain my key teaching points in this area.  You’ll also see some of my favourite breakdown drills for guarding the ball in various situations – full court defence, guarding the ball on the perimeter and closing out drills.
