Duke Basketball: Tactics, Techniques and Drills for Man Defense

This is one of the best videos on man to man defense Championship Productions has to offer. Coach Wojo does a phenomenal job at TEACHING. He doesn't raise his voice, he doesn't curse, and he doesn't get agitated with his players. When he needs to teach, he does it calmly and breaks it down simply yet effectively for his players to understand.

The brilliance in this video is how Coach Wojo takes such simple drills/ideas and makes them much more than that. I got three full pages of notes out of this DVD. Almost every single teaching point in this video has value to it, all the way from stance to complete defense.

A bit of a bonus, there is about 10-12 minutes at the very end of the DVD in which Coach Wojo spends on explaining several different ways to defend ball screens and it is absolute gold.

5-Star Rating DVD!!!

Like others have stated, this is a master class on developing a solid Man Defense. Coach Wojo presents the defense in a progressive manner building the defense one piece at a time. He starts off with the individual side of the defense working on stance, slides, contesting shots, ball pressure, and footwork. Once the stance, slides, constesting shots, ball pressure, and footwork foundation is laid down, we move into 1v1 and 2 v2 phase. I really liked this part because now communication is part of the dynamic. Players are working on their help side communication skills. Next up, after the 2v2 phase, is the 3v3 and 4v4 phase. Much like the 2v2 phase, where communication is stressed, 3v3 and 4v4 phase players are building on their communication skills in their defensive rotations and they are also working on stunting for the ball to prevent drives from the perimeter and putting strong ball pressure on the post player by digging for the ball.

Lastly you combine all of the drills that you have worked on and display them in a 5v5 setting. Great DVD for anyone looking to improve their Man-Defense. 5-Star DVD!!

I would have to rate this a 5 without a doubt. A great amount of drills that breaks things down 1 on 1 to 5 on 5 for how to play fundamental pressure team defense in the half court. Great explanations, no lengthy filler, and to the point. I highly recommend these drills for anyone with a pressure man system.

This is a master class on half court man-to-man defense. "Wojo" takes the watcher from simple to complex defensive concepts in one-on-one situations building all the way up to five-on-five situations. Some of the best portions of the video arise in teachable moments when the players make mistakes. Coach Wojciechowski rewinds the action, shows the players what they did incorrectly, makes the correction at half-speed and then has the players go at game speed. His focus on teaching, rather than embarrassing or berating the players, shows intelligence and class. Incidentally, this becomes a video not only on man-to-man defense but how to coach and react when everything isn't perfect. This is a 5-star, must-have DVD for all coaches who want a strong TEAM man-to-man defense.

Great Video. Loved how it broke down man to man defense from 1 on 1 all the way up to 5 on 5. Explains how and where to help from different areas of the court. This video is a good basic platform for man to man defense. Would recommend this video to anyone wanting to play man to man.

This is an A video.
Up to date, very well done....can be used for men and women. Very solid. Coach does a great job of teaching.....exciting to watch.
