I reccomend this product for any coach! It was easy to use, explinations were clear and the use of players were excellent. Any coach out there that has a talented and athletlic team should make this a part of their library!

This is an on-screen demonstration DVD by an excellent coach who, while droll in his presentation, is an able teacher. I like that the players used are normal players and not superstars. The scheme he advocates works except, as pointed out by another reviewer, that the scheme allows the reversal pass in the half court. "Thumbs down," your basic scramble D, as described by Coach Larranaga and so many others, is designed to intercept the reversal pass in the half court. We will be implementing his 2-2-1 full and half court 2-3 multiple trap approaches on the Varsity and JV levels, but with modifications that should make them even more effective. Bottom line: Very good and instructive DVD which is not the final answer, but it opens your eyes and gets you on the road and surely can be invaluable for athletic but not skilled teams, and very effective for everyone else. Good and valuable addition to my library.

It's always good to hear what other coaches are finding success with doing. There are concepts in this DVD that are interesting and have some value but may not be suitable for all programs. Why trap & scramble, but allow the next pass?

I thought the multiple scramble defense was well done. The concept of the defense is very good and the techniques for which Coach Ninham teaches the defensive concepts is very well done. There is no arguing the success coach has had with this defensive system. If you want a scramble defense with a multipl eof looks, this is your defensive system.

I thought the Multiple Scramble Defense was very informative. Coach Ninham did a great job of breaking down and describing the reasons for mixing up trapping situations and how to execute those situations. Very informative and could be implemented at youth levels to stress ball pressure, or at the college level to give varying defensive looks. Worth the investment

The shooting on this video could have been better. I did pick up a couple things from it though. I will say that 99% of Championship's products have good shooting. Also, the sample clips help to see what the video is like before buying.

I really liked Dan Ninham's philosophy on defense and you can really tell he is a student of the game. He's influences are: Bruce Pearl (pressure defense), Jim Larranaga (scramble defenses), and Bob Huggins (on the line, up the line).

However, I am disappointed not with just this video but several videos shot or produced by Championship Productions.

I could care less on how or what Dan Ninham looks like. I am more concerned on what all five of his players are doing while he's instructing.

Translation - I don't need close ups of Dan Ninham's mug while he's instructing.

Dear cameraman, ever heard of a wide shot? What good is a video on full and 3/4 court defenses if you can only see half the court?

My 15 and 16 year old team managers can shoot better video.

Another suggestion for improvement, add a diagram/brochure/pamphlet so we the customers can atleast see what the cameraman missed - such as alignments, shifts in the defense.
