Nate,
Just a few questions on videos.


Here is a rundown on what I look for in videos. (offensive or defensive)

1. Do they explain the concept with game footage?
2. Do they explain breakdown drills? (Or have breakdown drills)
3. Do they explain counters or things the opposition will try to do to stop you?
4. Do they explain the concept on the video with a offense or defense on the court so you can see how to attack the opposition? Example: If its a offense video, show a defense against it and how to attack it on key points.
5. Good demonstraters who run the concepts correctly.

With this in mind, what do you think is the best man offense video out right now meeting these criteria?

Best man defense video?

Would Steve Merfields Full House Weave, Paul Hewitts 4 out 1 in, or Larry Gipsons motion offense meet these criteria?

Would Vivian Stringer's or Andy Lander's full ct defense videos fit these criteria?

Thanks!
