This video is Average at best. Coach Dunlap spends way too much time talking and does not spend enough time with the 1-1-3 Man Zone Defense-which was my primary purpose for purchasing this video. I was expecting great things from ths video and that is the furthest thing I have gotten. I would NOT recommend this video to my fellow coaches. I have been coaching for 23 years and this vido was of little help-doubt if it would be of much help to the beginning coach.

I love this video! I disagree with the other reviews. There is a section near the begining where Dunlap shows video of his team. While St. Johns starts out in the press, the press is only used to run down the shot clock. It is not a press to make steals. This is not a video about the press at all. All of the possessions shown lead into the 1-1-3. This to me is valuable stuff for understanding the 1-1-3. Next, there is a period where Dunlap does not specifically address the 1-1-3. However, he is teaching us key pieces to playing defense and I think a veteran coach can see that these are building blocks for when he gets into the 1-1-3. These pieces are awesome defensive teaching points period, whether you are in the 1-1-3 or not. I am sure though that Dunlap feels they are as important to the defense as anything else. I felt like they would help me install the 1-1-3 and make my players much better defenders. Then Dunlap does address the 1-1-3 specifically in the later portions of the video. As he teaches it, many of the concepts presented earlier in the video play a role the proper execution of St. John's defense. My belief is that all of this stuff, including his speaking points (which are incredible) are valuable to running his version of the 1-1-3. I really enjoyed this tape and got a lot of great stuff from it.

I agree with the previous review. This DVD has some great coaching points but spends very little time on the 1-1-3 zone. The info on the 2-2-1 press is also very general. The other information is great. A great breakdown of working with players and teaching them, some great defensive drills, and great coaching techniques. I would like to here more from Mike Dunlap.

This presentation is really about a full court press defense and spends very little time on the 1-1-3 zone defense which is misleading since the title is 1-1-3 zone.
