One of the singular most important things a coach can do for his team is get them to develop fundamentals and consistently demonstrate them throughout practices and games. Coach Prohm has done this with his Murray State team. In this All Access video course featuring one of the hottest teams in the country in 2012, Coach Prohm takes you through multiple drills to breakdown their offensive and defensive system.

Video 1: Skill Development within Offense/Defensive System

Individual drills to support their motion offense and drills to build skills for both the bigs and guards are taught and repeated as well. Through various guard and post breakout sessions you will learn how to get your players the most game shots possible in practice. The practice ends with some passionate 5-on-5 play where you get to see both Murray State's offense in action and their defense put to the test.
