with Tom Izzo, 2000 NCAA Champions, 3X National Coach of the Year
Coach Izzo shares one of the most dominating man-to-man defensive and rebounding systems in college basketball today. Izzo's teams have been among the nation's leaders in rebounding margin (+11.7) and scoring defense (58.9) since he took over in the '95-'96 season. The seven defensive drills that Izzo covers include: 1) Defending backdoor cuts, 2) Help and recover, 3) Reaction drills, 4) Pick and roll, 5) Pin down picks, 6) Double screens and 7) Switching on screens. In addition, Izzo provides you with four competitive rebounding drills that you can use everyday in practice. All four rebounding drills will help your team become a cohesive rebounding unit. As an added bonus, Izzo discusses how to beat the 2-3 Zone Defense. Izzo shares four of his most effective quick hitters with numerous options for each play vs. the 2-3 Zone. This video provides one of the most unique opportunities to learn three "keys to success" in basketball today: stifling defense, dominating rebounding, and scoring opportunities vs. the 2-3 Zone. This is a must for any coach at any level!

Ganon Baker has done it again with a breakthrough shooting workout that has it all. Footwork, shooting mechanics, teaching points and drills are on display in this intense one-hour workout. On this DVD, Baker instructs youth-team players on "the lost art of shooting." Players learn how to find shots in four ways: Catch & Shoot, Shoot on the move, Dribble & Shoot and Shoot off the fake. Average players can become offensive threats by working on these four facets of shooting. Because many players waste practice time with half-hearted shots, this DVD preaches players to "practice game shots at game spots at game speed." The workout shows how the serious player can use practice time to improve his shooting and scoring ability daily. Shooting mechanics depend on "perfect feet" by pointing 10 toes to the rim. A quick "one motion" shot is demonstrated that will help players shoot quicker and straighter. Jump shot basics are covered with six superior drills, including the demanding five spot shooting drill. An underrated aspect of the game is shot faking. When the fake is short, quick and balanced, the defender becomes the victim. The Iverson Jab and the Kobe Jab are taught and used in these drills. Shooting on the move is illustrated with the Iceland drill, a new version of the elbow to elbow shooting drill. The Downscreen, L-cut, and America's play drills teach players to play without the ball and create good shots. Conditioning plays a part in Baker's drills as seen in the Intensity Jumper chair drill and the cone drill. By incorporating multiple aspects of proper shooting, players execute combo drills to refine their skills. The workout concludes with seven shooting drills that test player's skills and intensity. The Australian 3-man 2-ball shooting drill, X-out drill, Tip & shoot, Close Out 1-on-1 drill, Chaser, and the Eastman Baseline touch drill will push players out of their comfort zones. This DVD is a value to players and coaches because of the creativity and intensity required for each drill. Players will also develop multiple ways to get open, shoot, and score. A great approach to shooting that will push the individual to improve and the team to excel.

Five-Star Basketball Coach/Instructor and Lima (OH) Senior HS Head Coach
Coach Gaffney presents techniques and teaching points that will lead into drills for successful rebounding. To start, Gaffney demonstrates and drills the block out technique one-on-one. The back-to-back drill simulates the block out and is a competitive drill for both players. The purpose of the circle drill is to work on rebounding block out technique. One-on-one block out drill includes the close out, shot pressure, block out and the rebound. Moving to 2-on-2, the next drill puts a premium on blocking out and pursuing the ball. The cross block drill forces defenders to block out the player opposite them in the drill. The animal drill is worked on daily by Gaffney and develops desire, aggressiveness and a relentless attitude. Triangle rebounding drill is a 3-on-3 drill that uses two players in the corner and one player at the top of the key. It also progresses to 4-on-4 and 5-on-5. This drill is very game-like and can help establish excellent rebounding habits.

Attack the rim on offense and deny the post on defense using strong footwork in any area of the post.
Tony Bergeron, Program Director for Five-Star Basketball Camps, delivers a collection of skills and drills to help you develop a dominate post player.
It all starts with strong body movements and footwork in the post, which are a pivotal part of being successful in both offense and defense. Coach Bergeron teaches you specific post moves such as front and reverse pivots, rip throughs, and jump stops; as well as corresponding drills for players to utilize them in the post.
Scoring in the post is an essential skill for a complete post player. If you can't score down low, you can't be successful on offense. Bergeron provides a variety of moves to help your players overcome the defender and get the ball in the hoop. Moves include the jump hook, turnaround jump shot, up and under, drop step, and what to do in a mismatch. These moves will give your post players a better chance to score in the low post, perimeter and at top of the key.
If the opposing player can't get the ball in the post, they can't score in the post. Bergeron concentrates on three methods of post defense: bump, fronting and punch-kick. He pulls all three methods together with his most successful drill that will help post players know where and how to move in order to prevent the ball from entering the post.
Five-Star Basketball has more graduates playing college or pro ball than any other organization in basketball. Past and present basketball greats have benefited from the Five-Star camps including Elton Brand, Patrick Ewing, Moses Malone and many others.
