All Access Michigan State Basketball with Tom Izzo

This is a great DVD....maybe the best all access video.
I love Coach Izzo's Smorgasbord DVD but this one is even better. Nothing is held back- 3 full practices. All the coaches are miked up so you can hear the coaching and all the details. I was taken back by the full access that was given. I got this in March after my season was over and after watching it, I'm fired up to start. Great stuff defensively perimeter and post. Offensively, you see the whole package-zone offense and man offense.

Need a drill (of literally any kind), then look no further. This DVD has it all. Shell drills, ball screen drills, shooting drills, passing drills, transition drills, rebounding drills (of course because it's Tom Izzo), guard development, post development, transition defense, fast break and on and on! You also get a look inside a coaches meeting which to me was neat to see. I own 8 other all-access DVDs and this is right up there with my favorites. 5 star DVD that every coach needs to own.

I love the DVD as a middle school and freshman basketball coach i was able to install a few of the offensive sets. The first two disc are practice sessions that are pretty similar but I love how the 2nd disc starts to explain things. i wish more of the drills would have been broken down and explained but overall I would recommend this DVD.

Talk about a clinic on how to push players in a positive manner. Izzo is the best and covers all aspects. Great drills and good look at their zone and man offense. Their could be a better all access DVD but have not seen it yet. Closest I have seen is the Rick Pitino Four Pack from his Providence days offerrd on this site. This has something for a coach at any level.

Very thorough, coach Izzo gives a great insight on how his program is ran and touches on every phase of the game.

Hello together,

I have bought that collection get a wider sight of important elements, BUT, to me that are exercises every simple coach should know and work with.

It doesn't need izzo to introduce simple fastbreak or simple shooting exercises.

The worst thing is, that the second and third CDs are each filled with the exact videomaterial from the first cd....for about 60 minutes...so 3 CDs....but could have been just one cd. That's pretty ugly!

I have expected much more of different exercises to improve my thinking and the playing behavior of my players.

But you won't get that.

For beginners it's for sure nice, for advanced coaches nothing new.

Championship Productions replies:
The purpose of All Access is to reveal what top programs do in their practices. It's not only about the drills they run, but also about how the coaches interact with their team and their staff, how they motivate their team, the cue words they use, the atmosphere of the practice and how practices are structured from day to day.

For straight-up teaching videos from Tom Izzo, you might try videos such as BD-02643 or BD-03228. Here is a link to a list of all of Coach Izzo titles. http://www.championshipproductions.com/cgi-bin/champ/auth/1467/Tom-Izzo.html?id=KCFLRVkEhZRf

Hope that helps!

I never thought I could learn sooooooo much! I had to stop an rewind multiple times just to draw out the individual break down drills Izzo does with his players. His punctuality, moving from drill to drill, is something to strive for. I particularly love his 3 on 4 shell drill!! It is an amazing way to teach defensive communication and rotation. Also, you get to go into their War Room where they breakdown one of the practices and hearing how Izzo critiques things in the drill is amazing! This is a must have for any young coach. I learned alot!

Great stuff... Worth every cent.

Is an excellent video that help me to make improvement in my players both individual and as a team.

This is a great video set by one of the very best. Izzo and his staff do a great job showing the audience and the players exactly what they want in each situation. This is an outstanding video for defensive breakdown drills. Izzo shows drills that you can use with your middle school or high school team right away. I highly recommend this video to coaches who are looking for information or drills on the numbered fast break, man to man defense, and/or rebounding.

Price is high but Izzo is a great teacher and this video is filled with a ton of drills for both offense and defense. He also has some good zone stuff that can help you. Izzo uses quick hitters/plays rather than a motion.
If you have purchased all of his previous dvd's or have a few of them, then this particular one will not be of much value to you.

This DVD set was simply deep with information, I used Coach Izzos break down of bigs & guards drills made a huge difference in our skill sets last season to be 20-0 regular season,great DVD worth every cent I encourage others to get it

You can't go wrong with this video. I'm been coaching for awhile, and this video get's the old blood pumping again! Whether your a rookie or a veteran, I'll guarantee you'll get something out of watching it. It covers all facets of Michigan St. basketball.

Awesome DVD - Coach Izzo is so fun to watch. Great drills, great coaching style, great practice organization. The best All Access DVD I've gotten yet. Wish I had had this type of tape when I first started coaching - I am a 42 year veteran of every level of coaching basketball - from middle to school to college. This tape would help and inspire every level - men or women's.

Very good video. His defense and rebounding progressions are great drills. We have already implemented them into our practices. If you like the way Michigan State plays, this video shows some good insight into the way they do things.

Great set of DVD's. I agree with the comment that Coach Izzo doesn't upset in his dvds! I would recommend that everyone buy these dvds though in place of his single dvd's because you see most of everything if not everything on these dvds. So spend a little bit more and get these and get everything plus practice with Michigan St.

This All-Access Practice is top-notch! I have not been disappointed by any Tom Izzo products through Championship Productions. It was great seeing Izzo puts his team through shell defense. I also got a lot out of his perimeter and post breakdown drills. He went into detail on the different ways MSU defends ball screens and showed drills on how his team practices defending ball screens. If you own multiple Tom Izzo DVDs like I do, there is a decent amount of repeat stuff. This is a must if you do not own a Tom Izzo DVD.

Good Video. It's cool to see how a college coach organizes practices. Lots of good offensive and defensive drills. Also gives you a look at several offensive sets.
