Gregg Popovich: My Favorite Drills and the Motion Offense

Nice video, weak and strong are solid set plays, Basic concepts of 3v3 is good drill.

If you are looking for some good fundamental team drills that will help your team then this DVD will be a great help in your team as coach Popovic explains them during this basketball clinic. If you are looking to get a closer look on the spurs motion offense(breakdown drills, philosophy etc.)then you might get a bit disappointed as coach Popovic does a quick presentation of his motion offense without getting into many details. Hopefully we will have the ability to see in the near future a DVD set with more details concerning coach Popovic's philosophy in offense and defense.

This was an excellent video. Coach Popovich does an excellent job demonstrating his motion offense. I particularly liked his drill early in the video, when the defender was guarding the ball full court, and Coach Popovich had the defender guard someone quicker, and had the players turn and sprint to take angles to get in front of the ball instead of sliding your feet and being beat down the floor. While this seems simple, I'm sure not every coach has this or has seen it, and it's just another really great drill to add to your practices that is competitive, fast, and developing skills all in one.

Although there isn't an All-Access Practice video available for Coach Popovich, I think this video gives off a good impression for any young coach on how to run a practice. The setting was just a coaching clinic, but Coach Popovich had the players working hard, moving quickly during drills, and there was never any fluff to his approach of teaching the game.

Unfortunately, this was not the video I expected it would be. I was hoping to get some great insight from one of the best coaches in the game, but that isn't what this video offers. This video is for beginner coaches! However, it does not say that in the description. The drills are very elementary. He goes over motion strong / weak for 2 min. I am an advocate of championship production videos, but this is $40 that I wish I had spent on something else. The high ratings must be from entry level coaches. I give it 2 stars only because its Coach Pop

These are pretty good drills and great explanations.

Gregg Popovich: My Favorite Drills and Motion Offense Useful video tutorial. Unfortunately created a long time ago, new ideas Coach (Gregg Popovich) no. However, high-quality product is widely used in everyday coaching. Good value for money

Starts out with very basic drill like: pass - curt-screen. Next weave drills. These drills determine what your players are: leader-talker
But it end with a fantastic view of the motion offense. This is great stuff. The humor is pluspunt. Great dvd.

Very good

It goes without saying that "Pop" is one of the greatest coaches we have had in the NBA. I've watched his teams and utilize his philosophy of spacing in my 15u dribble drive motion offense. I have my boys watch Spurs games to gain an understanding of how to move and maintain spacing for an unstoppable offensive attack. Thanks "Pop" and thanks Championship Productions for a great video.

I Give this a 5*****

I Think that every Young coach should get a little something from i think the best basketball coach! in the NBA

You will have to go through this video a few times to get the motion offense down. It's not easy to follow. But it's worth it, I use this offense and I'm getting fantastic results. One problem is if you use this offense they wont stay in their man long so have your zone offense ready to go. The drills are decent nothing too special. The insights from pop are really good.

Great dvd! drills are simple and also very effective. the '4 on 4 on 4' drill is excellent!!
most of the options demonstrated from the motion offense are really useful. A must have for everyone!

Good video with good drills which you can use yourself in practise. I already do. Popvich explains wel and in spite of beeing different subjects its is not confusing.

Great drills for basketball IQ. Can definitely see why the Spurs always seem to consistently among the best teams in the NBA

Excellent video! Easy to follow and can implement drills immediately. Stresses fundamentals and competition. Talks about intangibles of players and how those are discovered through use of his drills. Well worth $40!

Buy it! Great video! The drills were easy to follow and explain and they've quickly become favorites of my varsity boy's team. If you want to improve your defense, your team communication and bring intensity to your practices, then get this video.

If you are buying this for the motion offense, then I would think twice. I thought the value was in the defensive drills, the team transition drills, and the competitive drills where points were only awarded for defensive stops.

If you want to learn the Spurs Motion offense, there are other sources I thought were better.

I absolutely loved everything about this video. I love the competitive 4-4-4 defensive drill. The early offense into motion is excellent!!

Very good DVD. The motion offense is awesome.

Lots of quality pieces and emphasis. Drills are very good and the motion pieces interesting and well illustrated.

This is a pretty cool video. While the drills are pretty basic, some of the ideas on how to incorporate them by Pop are very interesting and work to challenge the players physically and especially mentally. I particularly enjoyed the overall tempo that he had the players work at, even in the clinic setting! The 4 and 5 out drills are probably my favorites, both fit in great with a sideline or middle break transition team. Pops motion offense is especially impressive, the basics of it can be installed at youth levels but there is certainly more then enough depth for a varsity team to use it as well (probably too much for a varsity team!). Fantastic DVD.

Great video for anyone wanting an inside look at what makes the spurs such a great team.

I gave it a "5 stars". Popovich is a terrific teacher and this tape is full of useful and interesting ideas.

The DVD is divided in two parts:
- team drills
- motion offense

Drills are competitive and emphasize defense first.
Motion offense is built from transition and goes on with different options.
