In 2005, Bruce Weber's Illinois squad shot 54% on 2-point field goals and 48% overall from the field, finishing the season with an astonishing 37-2 record! At the forefront of this incredible run was Coach Weber's Five Man Motion Offense. In this DVD, Weber simplifies and demonstrates how to teach and implement this high-powered offense. He teaches 11 elements of the motion offense that will help teams, coaches and players gain advantages over the defense. Weber demonstrates proper spacing, cutting and screening techniques that will allow your players to create movement and lead to easy baskets. To take advantage of the open shots the motion offense creates, Weber demonstrates a shooting drill series beginning with two players and builds up to include the entire team. He progressively combines all of his individual drills to build this dominating Five Man Motion Offense. Coach Weber has done an amazing job in sharing the secrets of the most proficient offense in the game of basketball. His tactics, techniques and principles demonstrate how easy it is to implement for any coach at any level!

In this DVD, Coach Weber assembles the pieces that make up a successful press attack; it must be simple, provide continuity and be consistent. Features of this presentation include Press Attack by Fast Break, which requires a quick inbounds pass to the point guard up the floor. Nine drills are shown, including the 18 second drill and 35 second drill that challenge players in the full court. A big part of Weber's press breaker is running the baseline to counter what the defense presents. Weber shows over 10 drills that he uses every day in practice. These include the Keep Away drill, which teaches passing and playing against double teams. It doubles as a conditioning drill as players can work with 10 lb. weighted balls in passing drills. The Circle Drill, 2-on-1 backup dribble drill, 3-on-3 drill, 3 vs. 4 drill and the Chaos drill are just some of the excellent drills featured in this presentation. In addition, Weber covers two attacks - Zone Control and Texas - to use against half court traps. Weber's DVD on press offense reflects years of observation and coaching at the highest levels. The principles and drills presented are rooted in time-tested fundamentals. Assure error free basketball when facing pressure by installing this sound system of attacking pressure!

Coach Weber begins by differentiating between a "run and gun" and "run and score" mentality. He sees the offensive transition game as a way to ease the pressure off your half court offense to manufacture points. Weber starts with basic one-on-one drills and then builds into more game-like situation. He places an emphasis on defensive transition early in the season because other team's offenses are not fully developed. When teaching the fast break, there are four main focus areas: warm-up, primary drills, early offense and competitive play. Without a numbers advantage, he teaches the "transition motion" game, which flows right into half court offense. Drills include three-man fast break, 5-0 conditioning, speed lay-ups, three-man weave, 3-on-3 transition defense drill and 3-on-3 box out and transition. The 20-point game is Weber's favorite competitive drill. This is a full court 3-on-3 drill that also serves as a great conditioner.
