Bobby Gonzalez 2-Pack

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.

Coach Gonzalez's philosophy is anchored in the attitude of improving ball handling, passing, shooting and overall skill level around the clock. His style is to develop players on a daily basis and expect team progress throughout the season. In the pre-season, the advantage of this program is to improve conditioning and mental toughness. The workout session opens with seven spot inside/outside pivoting. Footwork is a very important part of all improvement drills. Five dribble moves are used with the entire team, regardless of position or size. All dribble moves end with a jump stop and made shot. Gonzalez believes his workouts simulate pressure, game conditions and game speed. A good shooting conditioner requires players to shoot nine 3-point shots in 1 minute from half court. In between drills, players always shoot pressure one-and-one free throws. The "penetrate and pitch" drill helps shooters with shot preparation and quick shots. Six in 30 is a full court ball handling and lay up drill that improves concentration and conditioning. Additional drills are the 42 game, 1-on-1 Knock Out and 8 spots. Gonzalez concludes this DVD with his ideas on the joy of coaching and how coaches can maximize their experiences in coaching the game of basketball.
