How to break the press in basketball

The best press break alignments are versatile. Against a team that changes defenses, you don’t want your players looking to the sideline waiting for a play call. The 1-4 alignment eliminates that confusion because it can be used against any pressing defense.

Some pressing teams try to deny all inbound passes. If your alignment has players deep down the floor, the defense will be able to do this more effectively. By bringing all players up, it eliminates back side help, opening up potential deep passes if the defense denies.

This is another benefit of bringing everyone up against a press. Opponents will need to make a choice: Do I bring up everyone, including a potentially slower post player, or do I just let the ball inbounds? Against many teams, either option could benefit the offense.

Most 1-4 press breakers eventually send a player down the floor. This still allows your team to hunt layups after it breaks the press. In fact, having a player start high and then break down the floor is more difficult to guard than simply stationing a player deep for the whole possession.

There are many things you can do out of a 1-4 alignment. We will show a few options in the next section, but you can use your imagination to adjust the press breaker to fit the personnel on your team.

1-4 Press Breaker Options:

Common zone presses include the 2-2-1, 1-2-2, and 1-2-1-1 presses.

This alignment can be effective against any of these looks.

Consider the best way to use your personnel.

For example, do you want your point guard to receive the first pass, or would you rather he or she attack up the floor on the second pass?

In the diagrams below, notice how the offense maintains sideline, middle, reverse spacing.

In these diagrams, the fifth player is used in the “deep diagonal” position.

If the ball is reversed, players fill both sidelines and the middle.

Against man pressure, you probably want to set screens to help your players get open.

This can be done in many ways, but one option is diagrammed below.

Again, players can be positioned however suits your team, but notice one important detail in the diagram:

Player 5, typically a post player, sets the second screen for Player 1, the point guard.

This is usually a good idea because two advantages could be created against a switching defense.

First, your point guard will usually be quicker than the opposing post player.

Second, your post player should be able to seal an opposing guard.

Another possibility is for Player 5 to screen his or her own defender, making the switch more difficult.

If the ball is inbounded to a good ball-handler, you can clear out of their way vs. a man-to-man defense.

Some defenses will not trap, instead choosing to pressure the ball handler 1-on-1.

If this is the case, your guard should not have trouble and it is better to give them space.

Some teams will let the ball handler start to dribble, then will leave from another player and trap. This is where the pullback dribble is necessary.

In the diagrams below, notice how, as the trap occurs, Player 1 uses a few pullback dribbles and the other teammates are “pulled” to the ball handler into the sideline, middle, reverse position.

Teams that completely sell-out to deny the inbound pass can be very difficult to play against.

While the second option can certainly be effective against these teams, you may want to have another option as well.

This look is good for teams that negate your screening actions with effective switching.

For example, athletic teams with five players of similar size and quickness may be able to switch without giving up significant size or speed disadvantages.

Against those teams, it may be smarter to maximize space rather than setting a lot of screens.

In the diagrams below, the defense is in a full court man-to-man face-guarding defense with the inbounder’s defender playing “centerfield.”

The offense counters by all four potential pass receivers walking their defenders as close to the baseline as possible. This shortens all passing options and creates even more space to operate.

Once the ball is inbounded, all offensive players should have an advantage.

The ball-handler can simply read the centerfielder and pass the ball ahead.

This is a great way to alleviate pressure by forcing the defense to become less aggressive.

8 Press Break Tips and Skills to Master:

No press breaker will be effective if you can’t inbound the ball safely.

If you’re facing a team that denies the inbound pass, you probably want to utilize screens to help free your ball-handlers.

However, your screeners MUST be ready to receive a pass after screening.

This is because many pressing defenses will switch all screens.

If a player screens a teammate’s defender, he or she should pivot in a way that keeps the switching defender on their back.

Another strategy against a switching defense is to screen your own defender.

Think about it...

If the defense wants to jump out and switch on all screening actions, screening your own defender makes it difficult for them to do that.

This type of screen can free a teammate to receive the ball.

Finding a good inbounder is sometimes difficult.

One simple habit to teach your inbounders is to run the baseline after a made basket by your opponent.

If the strong side of the floor is not open, the inbounder can run to the other side to explore options there.

This shortens a potential pass to the opposite side.

This is a crucial part of attacking man or zone presses that like to trap.

Any time there is a trap, you want (1) sideline, (2) middle, and (3) reverse options.

Some coaches like the fifth player to be diagonal, while others prefer him or her to be deep.

Regardless, these first three options are essential.

This is because it is very difficult for the defense to put two players on the ball while still covering sideline, middle, and reverse options.

With proper spacing, the player being trapped must simply remain poised and find the open teammate.

Full court presses are, by nature, aggressive defenses.

Jumpy defenders can be moved and manipulated with clever ball fakes.

If you want to pass to the middle, fake a pass up the sideline, or vice versa.

Ball fakes can take some of the aggression out of a defense.

This is the most important type of dribbling against trapping defenses.

Many man or zone presses attempt to bait the ball handler into dribbling before coming to trap.

This is fine.

Good players don’t mind being trapped because they know that traps create openings for the offense. However, you must create space to make those passes.

Pullback dribbles allow you to get that space.

Execute a pullback dribble by turning your shoulders so that the ball is behind you, putting your chin on your top shoulder so that you can see the floor, and taking big push steps back to create space.

As a ball handler uses a pullback dribble, his or her teammates should come back to the ball to shorten the pass. Think of it as the ball handler pulling teammates toward them.

Skilled ball handlers may be able to pullback and attack the other direction off the dribble (“pullback and reattack”), but most players will want to beat the press with the pass.

This sounds simple, but it is harder to execute when facing a double-team.

Players must be trained to maintain vision of the floor.

Most full court presses leave a player, sometimes multiple players, open down the floor.

The problem is that ball handlers panic and simply don’t see them.

Emphasize vision in practice and reinforce it through the use of film so that your players learn the importance of seeing what options are available.

Teach your players that the goal of press offense is to SCORE!

If you are content with simply getting the ball across half court and running offense each possession, there is no risk for the defense and they will just press more aggressively.

However, shot selection is crucial when playing against full court pressure.

Your first priority should be attacking the press for a layup.

If a layup (or a quality shot from a good shooter) does not materialize, then you can run your offense and seek a better shot.

Remember, many pressing teams want to speed you up.

If your press offense only creates quick long-range jump shots, you are probably playing right into the hands of the defense.

Conclusion:

At some point in your season, you will encounter a team with strong full court pressure.

Will your players be intimidated, or will they feel prepared to attack the defense for layups on the other end?

By emphasizing the proper skills, mindset, and alignments, you can prepare your team to excel in these high-pressure moments.

If you'd like to learn more about breaking pressure and see on-court demonstrations, we have a few DVDs that we recommend.

We found these resources by surveying our own subscriber list and asking them what press break DVDs they thought were the best. We then ordered the DVDs and reviewed them to make sure they were good.

Now in all honesty we have not viewed every press breaker resource available. I'm sure there are other good ones out there. But these are a few that were recommended to us by our subscribers and also get our seal of approval...

Universal System of Attacking Press - By Will Rey - I like this DVD because it gives you a really simple and effective press breaker that works against any press. You'll pick up lots of good advice and I think this is an all around good DVD.

Mike Krzyzewski: Duke Basketball - Breaking the Press - This DVD gives you some additional tips, several good drills, and reinforces important press break concepts. It's also a good all around DVD.

Note for Youth Teams

If you're getting pressed in a youth league, my suggestion is to find a different league. Presses and traps are VERY counterproductive for youth players and slow their skill development. Presses, traps, and zone defenses should be against the rules in youth basketball. If you don't believe me, just listen to pro coach Stan Van Gundy (who also coached his kids' youth team):

Core workout (abs back) - Basi from Russia

Entry posted by Vasilio · February 25, 2014

Fizkult hello!

After a long time, here I am again! I don’t know if anyone was bored or if there were enough small notes in the group “Unreal training with Basi” (http://vk. com/basi_training)!?

Today I will not be very verbose. Less words, more videos! I want to talk about training the muscle corset, the ball of the core or the muscles of the press-back. Whoever likes it.

I get too many questions and see how to increase the jump? How? Where is the secret exercise that will increase the jump immediately by half a meter in a week? If you look at the biomechanics of the jump, then, in addition to the legs, the integral work of the muscles of the press, back and shoulder girdle will be clearly visible. In other words, the whole body. In this post, I felt like talking specifically about the core muscles and giving a few examples of workouts that I did directly (both old and very fresh).

Before proceeding to the video, I will clarify that this recording is unlikely to help those who want a six-pack or a washboard instead of a stomach. I will not reveal to anyone a secret that in this regard there will be more merit of a well-constructed diet and diet.

Well, now let's move on to the video.

The first complex is what started my acquaintance with such training. A good way to strengthen not only the muscles of the press and back, but also the muscles of the shoulder girdle (by the way, exercises similar to movements from swimming are also suitable for recovery from shoulder injuries). Each exercise is performed the same number of times, which is set before the start of the complex. As I remember now, on the first day it was difficult for me to do 15 repetitions of each exercise, and after 10 days we increased this figure to 25.

The second complex is Pilates. I'm going in chronological order, so he's next. Pilates, along with yoga, is the most underrated activity for athletes in my opinion. Despite the fact that now in fitness clubs, Pilates and yoga classes often turn into some kind of boot camp, discarding the study of the very philosophy of these disciplines, they still remain effective in terms of strengthening the whole body, including the abdominal and back muscles. .

The third complex is the plank. If we talk about isometric exercises, then the plank, in this case, will be the best for me. Below is a continuous set of exercises, where the basis is the plank position or the lying position.

The fourth complex is exercises with a heavy (stuffed) ball. The abdominal muscles are the same muscles as any other in our body. Accordingly, they should also be developed in different planes, meaning endurance, strength, explosive strength, and so on. Medicine ball exercises will work well on the explosive strength of the abdominal muscles. If you pay attention, then some of the movements will be slightly similar to the movements of the player on the court.

The fifth complex is one of the variations of aerobic supersets for the abdominal muscles. If at the beginning of a workout it is better to perform several approaches to the press to activate the muscles, then such super-sets can be completed.

The sixth complex is perhaps my favorite. Three exercises with a heavy ball (which, if desired, can be replaced with anything), which very much resemble the work of the core muscles during the game. I will analyze each of them:

1. Diagonal torso raises with the ball hitting the floor - if you look closely, the movement is close to when the player receives the ball in the post, makes one hit to the floor and begins to turn around.
   
2. Diagonal torso lifts with a diagonal removal of the ball in one hand - lay-up on the back of the ring (reverse lay-up).
   
3. Sitting torso rotations - receiving the ball from the side (left or right) and taking it out for a throw. It’s hard to say how it is in Russia, but in the States, when you receive a ball for a throw, they teach you to put your legs so that they are already looking at the ring, respectively, you have to rotate the torso and actively connect the core muscles.
   

The seventh complex is training the core muscles on a fitball (physio ball). Its advantage lies in the need to maintain the balance of the body, which allows you to activate the muscles of the whole body during execution.

As a conclusion, it is worth paying attention to 3 things:

1. Stretching. It is mandatory to perform after a workout, including after training the core muscles. Muscles must be elastic.
   
2. Muscular imbalance. You should follow a simple rule: did the exercises for the press, do at least the same amount on the muscles of the lumbar region. The simplest example of such exercises is hyperextension (back hypers) or superman (superman exercise). If such exercises are avoided, then, most likely, a muscle imbalance will occur, which will lead to pain or discomfort in the lumbar region.
   
3. Self-education and the desire to improve day by day. If you are an athlete, then you simply must know what you are doing. At a minimum, you should be interested in the coach or study yourself what you are doing. The reason is simple - it will be much easier to understand your mistakes and help the coach find ways to solve them with minimal risk of injury. If sport is just a hobby, then you should know at least the most basic things so as not to harm yourself. In any case, the whole strength of a person lies in improvement and daily actions aimed at becoming better.
   

Enjoy every day

Common Mistakes in Kids Team Practice

By Coach MAC

Ever wonder what mistakes you make when you run basketball practice? In creating this blog, I have been blessed to interact with some of the smartest basketball minds in the US. What better way to help you and collect answers to our simple question from all these experts? I asked leading basketball experts to answer: "What are the most common mistakes coaches make when conducting training in children's basketball?" There are two ways you can digest their responses...

1. I created this list so you can skip some by going down to your favorite expert.

2. Grab a coffee, make sure you have 20-30 minutes to spare, and read the entire list (recommended).

Darrell Johnson – Cross Over Hoops

The most common mistake that coaches make when conducting youth basketball practice is neglecting the basics of fundamental technique. Some children's coaches are too concerned with the results of their team's games, how many wins they can get. Don't get me wrong, winning is important, but developing fundamental individual technique skills is much more important at a child level. No one will remember your elementary school team record, but what they will remember is winning their state varsity tournaments or maybe the U.S. championships... Most kids' training should be spent on developing skills, not teaching offensive and defensive strategies. What good is a game worth when your players can't dribble, pass, or shoot the basket? The basics of individual fundamental offensive and defensive playing techniques must be taught correctly and then trained using repetition. If a player does something wrong, then the mistake must be corrected before a bad habit is formed. Too many players enter middle and high school with terrible habits that are extremely hard to break because they weren't corrected in elementary school during the training period. Establishing a good foundation of fundamental playing technique is the primary responsibility of children's coaches for the future careers of their pupils.

Alan Stein – Stronger Team

The most common mistakes youth coaches make are:

Training is not age appropriate (physically, mentally or emotionally). Training is not targeted. Workouts are boring.

Brian McCormick - 180 Shooter

Exercise must have a goal, and the coach must also know the goal for each part of the workout, even if the goal is to take a break to recover before intense exercise. However, the biggest mistake is talking too much and giving answers to all the players to their questions. There is a misconception that players learn a lot from the coach's conversations or briefings; but players learn more from doing. When the coach speaks, the players do nothing. Instructions should be short and concise. Players should be able to decide for themselves what to do or what they should have done. When coaches constantly give advice, players stop thinking and rely only on the coach.

Randy Brown – Coach RB

1. Conducting a workout without a well thought out plan prior to practice. Note: The plan must be developed jointly with the assistant trainer so that what is taught is the result of a collaborative effort. Every workout needs a goal.

2. Not making maximum use of time, court space and high involvement for all players. those. - Gathering in line for throws is one of the most mediocre wastes of time.

3. There is no method for evaluating every workout. Without a methodology to accurately assess the progress of players and teams, how to measure the improvement of this training session, the necessary adjustments for the next training session, and use the analysis of how time was used and whether your goal in training was achieved - there can be no good results.

4. #1 frustrating - Trying to do too many things and waste time attacking and defending instead of splitting them apart and teaching/training/making players responsible for each skill. What for? - If you do not make the players responsible for their actions in training, then this is the fault of the coach and not the players. How can a coach be frustrated, angry to make substitutions when he didn't teach / coach / and not every player / and the team as a whole listened to him, practiced skills in exercises, and then put them into practice. Until this is done, the game is a joke, and the coach is to blame for this.

Bryan Burrell - New Age Elit Sports

In my opinion, the most common mistake in training children's teams is the amount of time coaches spend on special game situations.
I believe that time in kids basketball practice today is only spent on making their current team better, not on things that will benefit the players throughout their future careers.

Chris Hyppa – Chris Hyppa BasketBall

Coaches are only focused on winning!

• Everyone wants to win, but the "development of individual fundamental skills" at the youth level takes a back seat to win. I believe development should be focus #1. Victories will follow. Developing through learning and improving skills, raises basketball IQ and strengthens relationships with players!

• Have a plan!

• I see a lot of kids training without a "goal". Kids coaches will have more productive workouts and see players progress if they document progress/failures and have a plan for every workout! "Confidence comes with preparation" - you have the power to inspire confidence, be prepared!

Courtney Campbell – Train to Ball

• I think it's a common mistake coaches make to spend 20% focused time instead of 80%. This comes from the Pareto principle (or the 80-20 rule) which states that 80% of the results come from 20% of your actions. I think a lot of young coaches' drills are designed to teach certain skills that are rarely used in games. Drills can be chosen randomly without thinking about what are the dominant skills needed to create an effective and productive player. I try to tailor my agility drills, footwork, individual ball technique, etc. to learn and improve the basics of what will be 80% applied in the game.

• In addition, there is an increase in the use of rubber bands and other training tools and equipment that will help increase the first step, speed and agility of the players. However, most coaches are not aware of the mechanisms of injury in our game. If the trainer does not have knowledge of the general mechanism of injury, you are likely to increase the number of injuries with this equipment (knee, back and other injuries). Use this equipment with the limitation to your proper self-study.

Dave Hopla - DaveHopla.com

I find that most coaches are more interested in managing the game or letting them play rather than teaching them how to play. It never seems to be enough training to pass, catch, or throw. Too much dribbling.

David Nurse –Perfect Shots Shooting

I strongly believe that one of the biggest mistakes children make is that they want to start learning offensive play patterns by making players become "robots". The more coaches emphasize drills that put young players in situations where they have to make quick decisions and think for themselves, the more and sooner they will develop their IQ of their game. It's like when you want to learn a new language, it's easiest to do it while you're young, before your brain gets developed in that area. The same with IQ "feel basketball". It is very important to develop this feeling as early as possible and youth coaches should do their job much better. I have seen all this all over the world, and this same topic is driving me crazy! I compare these bad habits of being a "robot" to sleeping in comfortable beds - it's easy to get into bed, but very hard to get out. Players must learn to think for themselves at a young age and this habit will pay dividends in their development.

Drew Hanlen - Pure Sweat Basketball

• Too much flame and not enough fuel

• Too many old routines (eight 3's, throws with no resistance on passes) and not enough individual skill development

• Too much play and not enough development exercises

• Lack of correction (too many mistakes allowed).

• Winning at lower levels is celebrated instead of focusing on learning skills for long-term success

Duane Jourdeans - Rule of 5

1: No training plan

2: No focus on building relationships with players

3: No development and improvement of playing skills 4: Emphasis on game management

not how to play

5: Shouting when learning

6: Lack of preparation of leader players

7: Tall children learn to play only in the center position

8: Lack of mental preparation.

9: Fitness exercises without a basketball goal

Galen Harkness – GalenHarkness.com

Major mistake: Too much emphasis on strategies for how to win the game, which often sacrifices a long-term program of fundamental player and team development.

Other thoughts.

1st: Too much emphasis on game control and game combinations. Coaches have a good set of playing combinations that are trained to complete the throw. But what can players do when schemes don't work? This strategy is designed in such a way that it does not allow or encourage players to make the right game decisions.

2nd: Lost time. A lot of time is wasted when moving from one exercise to another. Drills are rarely designed or implemented in such a way that all players are constantly involved in them. Too many stand still.

3rd: Lack of professional development. Some coaches teach and practice the way they learned to play. The basketball game is constantly evolving, but not all children's coaches evolve with the game.

Ganon Baker – Elev8Basketball

Problem - Coaches talk too much during practice where the kids lose their attention and sweat. They are too wordy in their instructions. Decision - do instruction/correction 20-50 seconds. Make your remarks, and then exit them without disrupting the flow of intense training.

Problem - trainers do not use humor or have no sense of humor. They seem to be tough and awkward in their communication. Decision - Coach with a child's heart, but with an adult mind. Enjoy the conversation, but don't overstep the bounds. Basketball game for kids, help them have fun!

Problem - they use useless exercises in their training. The drills are boring and not like a game, and do not belong to their offensive and defensive systems! Solution - examine your ship. Try to find ways to have a professional workout. Teach the skill, choose exercises similar to the game, such as 1 on 1, 2 on 2 or 3 on 3.

Gary Maitland – Coach Maitland

1. Punishment. Children's basketball practice is an early experience of a long-term passion and commitment to the sport we love. The biggest mistake a coach can make is to create an environment where kids are afraid to "do it wrong". It is unfortunately all too common for children's basketball coaches to punish their players for mistakes. The player should not be afraid to make mistakes. Mistakes are an integral part of the learning process and hence it is important for children to know that they will not be constantly penalized. Basketball involves a number of complex ball handling and decision making skills. Skills must be taught, developed and mastered. When the coach punishes a player for a mistake, he/she prevents the player from taking risks; Risks help them learn the game and develop a sense of making quick decisions and actions. Those early training years should be interesting. Children should have fun when they learn new things. If a coach punishes kids with endless push-ups or sprints, it is unlikely that they will want to continue training with him and have fun. It will only be a matter of time before they stop attending these workouts. It is very important for young players to understand the consequences of their mistakes (i.e. that poor performance has a negative impact on the course of a drill or game). Punishments do not teach children how to do a technique or how to make a better decision next time. This type of coaching behavior is so common that young players judge the quality of coaching/training by how intense the punishments were. "What was the workout like?" "It was hard. We ran a lot and did a lot of push-ups." This answer shows that not much (or anything) was learned during this training session.

2. Long lines Children's practice should be structured so that each player has a lot of touches on the ball. Children's training is developmental training and therefore a sufficient number of repetitions of learning and improving elements of individual technique should be planned. When the coach puts the players in long lines, it reduces the number of times the player has the ball. Their chance to interact with the learning decreases, they become bored and distracted. It is very important for young coaches to organize their training so that all children are active, busy and practicing skills.

Greg White - Twitter Profile

The epidemic of bad coaching in youth sports is high at all times. I applaud USA Basketball for creating a coach certification program, but there is a question we need to answer: "Who trains our coaches?" Here are a few things I see wrong with youth coaching. 1. Exercise is more important than Skill. Coaches use exercises for the sake of exercise in elementary school. Ever watched an 8 year old team run a 3 player eight? This has no meaning or purpose. Find a way to practice skills without overly difficult exercises. We learn the alphabet letter by letter. 2. Fundamentals. Young players should not associate practice with yelling. Children's basketball should be fun and upbeat while learning the basics of the game. 3. Play simply without complicated game patterns. Teach players how to play, not how to make combinations. What do you gain by using exercises at the 5th grade level that are not well suited to the 7th grade. 4. Competitions. Too many games. It doesn't take a genius to know that in a team game of 8 year olds, the 2-3 zone wins games. At this age, competition is more for the ego of the parent than for the benefit of the children. Let children be children. I think we shouldn't play 5v5 under 10.

Hal Wilson - Coaching Basketball Wisely

1) The big mistake kids coaches make when coaching the way they were coached. Maybe these exercises were used when you were playing because they suited your skill and development level, but they are not suitable for the level of the team you are coaching now.

2) The second big mistake is to just do something because it's done by the successful coach X on TV. Great coaches have great players with great needs, again, your players may have other needs. Trying to get your players to use and perform elements of high and complex skills and concepts before they have mastered the basics of fundamental individual technique, a recipe for disaster, for herbs or frustration. Coaches must look beyond their own experience and find cutting edge ideas, but must adapt them to their team's current situation. A drill should be designed with clear goals: a) How this drill can help your team in games, b) Gradual progression (break complex skills and concepts into more accessible levels for your players), c) Applying clear goals and objectives of the game (players need to understand why skills and concepts are important and how they will help them be more successful individually and how they will help their team in games).

3) The third big mistake is to train to make the coach look good, and not to teach the team to play better. Yes, your difficult drill may look great in practice, but as mentioned in point two, if it doesn't have a clear application in games, then it (the drill) is really more for you than for your players.

4) The fourth biggest mistake is taking away the enjoyment of training and sports, often in the name of winning. Some well-meaning youth coaches try to dampen or extinguish the competitive fire of their players by focusing too much on short-term outcomes. Enjoy the ride and let your players do the same! We want the long-term sporting development of our players, on and off the court!

Henry Barrera - Shoot360

1. No training planning, 2. They say much, 3. There is no sufficient development of the individual fundamental technique of the ball and the throwing technique

James Gels - Coaches Clipboard

000

9000 a common mistake is that children's trainers talk too much. Players get bored and don't learn anything. When I train in high school, I always say that a good practice is when the players are talking (communicating) and the coach is not heard.
