Two-time ACC Coach of the Year Seth Greenberg takes to the court to explain how to attack both odd- and even-front zone defenses, providing the concepts that will allow your team to play to their strengths.

An effective zone offense must:

start with the transition game
must have players attacking the offensive glass
players must not settle for jump shots
there must be ball movement and player movement
must screen the zone
players must be able to shot fake and ball fake
the players must be shot ready

Coach Greenberg's transition zone offense attacks with the dribble in order to flatten out the zone and utilize ball screens. He believes teams should "fly to the glass" while pursuing offensive rebounds. Greenberg introduces his "flash and roll" that features "pull" and "drag" dribbles that create multiple open areas and diving and sealing opportunities. He shows two deadly quick hitters that are very simple, yet effective at providing not only the open post feed, but also the open shot from behind the arc.

Greenberg completes his zone attack arsenal with a two-guard offense designed to attack the 1-3-1 zone defense. In this offense, which is his variation of the famous "T-Game" offense, Greenberg wants his guards to play mid-point to mid-point, making it easier to attack the gray areas of the 1-3-1 and helps avoid being trapped on the sideline.

The key to Coach Greenberg's success at attacking zones lies in his philosophy of getting the ball to your best players in position to score. These simple rules and concepts will allow your team to play instinctively and successfully defeat zone defenses.

The previous review is spot on. Coach Greenberg gives a unique approach to attack the zone using the drag and pull dribbles. I would have liked to see this against different types of zones although he touches on the 1-3-1 slightly at the end. However, most coaches can figure out how to implement the offense or at least some concepts against other zones. All in all, a good video with good concepts and insight.

Some good coaching tips that you might not see in other DVDs. Coach begins by focusing on running up the court again a zone and trying to flatten and distort the defense, which is not what you usually see especially at the high school level. He then goes into finding the gaps in the defense when cutting after passing and reversing the ball, and using ball fakes to move the defense where you want them to be.

He shows dragging and pulling the defense (with and without screens). He uses two posts in the 2-3 zone defense, and instead of X-ing the posts he calls it flash and roll. He also focuses on the posts screening, a common technique.

At the end there is a small segment at the end on zone offense for the 1-3-1 defense. It's pretty basic, and you can find more details in other DVDs

Overall it is a solid DVD, although a bit haphazard in the presentation. He isn't always focused on the keeping the progression moving, and there are no drills shown to to build the zone offense. No video or audio problems either.
