In a storied 26-year coaching career, Tara VanDerveer has established herself as one of the top coaches in the history of both collegiate and international women's basketball. In this on-court demonstration, she presents the Triangle offense in a whole-part-whole manner. She shows the entire offense and explains each position, breaks it down through explanation and drills, and then adds defense to show the whole offense against defense. The benefits of this offense is that it is hard to guard, fun to coach, players enjoy it, takes advantage of one-on-one match-ups, has a lot of options, it fits with an up-tempo style of play and is flexible because all positions are interchangeable. Coach VanDerveer stresses that the triangle is a very teachable offense that combines continuity with structure. Keys to the triangle offense are passing and spacing. To accelerate the learning curve for the offense, she uses a 4-on-0 half-court drill. Players execute the triangle and score, and on the following possession, players move to the next position. One becomes the two, two becomes the three, etc. The drill is run on both ends so players rotate from one end to the other. This drill is essential for developing interchangeable positions on the floor. By rotating positions on the move, players are forced to execute and think on their feet. VanDerveer constantly stresses the importance of little things like squaring up, passing away from the defense, getting open and spacing. To make this drill competitive VanDerveer lets the offense keep the ball as long as they score against the defense. Against pressure defense, the "forward blast" creates an open back door cut and lay-up. The dribble hand-off is a weapon in this offense because it is so difficult to defend. This DVD will allow any coach the opportunity to learn the triangle's secrets and strengths by sharing the breakdown drills run by the Cardinal women. The triangle can yield amazing results because of its spacing, diversity and flexibility. From the Chicago Bulls to Stanford to the middle school level, the triangle has proven to be one of basketball's best offenses.

Coach Foster introduces his "Multi-Purpose Zone Offense" which is easy to learn, understand, and teach, but impossible to stop. Foster uses four simple principles that will help your team create numerous scoring opportunities against a zone defense. He uses each of these principles in teaching a zone offense that can be run against a 1-3-1 zone, 3-2 zone, or match-up zones with odd or even fronts. In addition, Foster provides insights on how to successfully adapt this zone offense to fit any zone defense that you may be faced with. Foster teaches this offense utilizing a progression of drills that will help you recognize different scenarios and help you utilize each of your player's strengths. In contrast to other stationary zone offenses, this zone offense will break down any zone through constant movement, spacing, and cuts. Each counter or entry for attacking the zone is explained in detail on the court with demonstrators. These principles can be incorporated into any zone offense you use. This video provides innovative and effective instruction on a deadly multi-purpose zone offense!
with Bobby Gonzalez,
Seton Hall University Head Coach
Coach Gonzalez presents his 11 rules for attacking zone defenses. Zone offense is a combination of dribble penetration, player movement and ball movement. Gonzalez puts a premium on attacking gaps on the dribble, which is the number one "zone killer" in basketball today. Emphasis is put on the idea of "inside, outside, reverse and attack." When these four things are accomplished, defenses are very vulnerable. Gonzalez discusses beating the zone down the floor, using the post, ball fake, be shot ready and attack the offensive glass. Other elements include reversing the ball, using cutters and flashers, overloading, screening and using patience. He also stresses good shots when they are available. When the offense makes the defense work, good shots will be the result. This list of 11 rules will provide a solid game plan for attacking zones.
with Rick Insell,
Middle Tennessee State University Head Women's Coach
Simplicity and execution are the trademarks of Coach Insell's program at MTSU. In this on-court DVD, Insell teaches his offense then shows it with 5-on-5 play. Building a half court offense depends on players in your program. Insell highlights the characteristics of players one through five that he needs in his system. The offensive priority is to get the best players good shots on every possession. Most of the shots will be taken from the left side of the floor making this offense unique. The entry pass can be delivered to the right or left wing making it good against pressure defenses. This offense also does a good job of spreading the floor and forming triangles on different parts of the floor. Ball screens, baseline screens and hard cuts are incorporated into every possession. Every action that is taken away by the defense can be countered by a pass or player movement. In conclusion, offensive game clips show the effectiveness of this attack. This half court attack can be very successful for coaches at the high school and college level.
with Andy Landers,
University of Georgia Head Women's Basketball Coach
Over the course of his highly successful 27-year career, Coach Landers has seen everything in the game of basketball. Some key pieces of the game have stuck with him year after year. Many of these keys are brought to life in this DVD. The Freeze Zone attack is based on making the zone move with little offensive movement. The key to this attack is strong point guard play. To demonstrate the teaching points of the zone offense, he employs a unique 5-on-1 drill. The skip-seal is a great play once the ball has been skipped from wing to wing. Another feature of the Freeze offense is the flash game and sub cut. The second zone offense presented, "Shaky," is a 4-Out offense. The goal is to distort the zone with player movement by shaking things up. The wings are very high, making the top of the floor overloaded with four offensive players against two defenders. Players are instructed to pass and cut through the zone, creating open space on the floor. Both of these zone offenses are proven zone killers that can bolster your offensive package.
