A Proven Way to Beat Zone Defenses

A couple reviewers have said that this DVD is elementary, and in a way, it is. You have 3 outside players, a high post, a low inside player (not quite on the half spot, but this review is not intended to provide details). It is the basic offensive set against any 2-3 zone. What sets this DVD apart is the details and slight spacing tweaks allowing your players to move the ball and attack zones faster. They are minimal but these details are the difference between getting scoring opportunities and just swinging the ball back and forth around the perimeter because you are not quite quick enough in your attack, allowing the defense to adjust. It is very easy understand, and more importantly, teach. I will use this in combination with another zone offense during my high school season.

I am a high school coach from London, Ontario, Canada. I will say that this video did not meet my expectations. It is very basic and low level teaching on a vary basic zone defensive set. If you have any low to medium basketball knowledge this video is not for you. I am typically satisfied with Championship Productions however I would not recommend this video.

DVD is a basic elementary review of what zones are and the most basic way to break them. DVD provided information I already knew. I was not pleased with the DVD simply because what was shown I already knew. If you want some basic ways to break a zone down and a pass or two option after the ball is in the middle than this is what you want. I found the DVD as a good source of the basic information and guidelines on how to break the zone.

"Hello!" This was a pretty solid DVD!! Coach Brown does a great job of showing some really good offensive looks against odd an even zone defensive looks.

The DVD starts off with how to attack a 2-3 zone. Coach Brown goes through a series of teaching points for the offense and how they should be set up in order to attack a 2-3 zone. Coach explains the "4-hole & 5-Hole", which are elbow and short corner areas of the court for players that can play in those positions. Coach goes over the rules for the player playing the "4-hole" and when the ball enters the "4-hole" where the rest of the players should go in order to receive a pass or shot. The same for when the ball goes into the "5-hole" spot. Against a 1-3-1, 1-2-2(3-2) Zone, you get a few more different zone offensive looks.

I really enjoyed the fact that they audience was allowed to ask questions. Coach also was able to answer those questions from the audience, which is always a plus. I also enjoyed how coach taught. He was knowledgeable. I hope so. He had 52 years of coaching experience :) The instruction was very helpful. The point of emphasis on making quality passing and possible reads from the defense were also helpful.

I have about 6-7 Zone offensive DVDs from Championship Productions. This is a solid DVD and will only help me and other coaches out there, get better at our coaching craft. Add this great DVD to your collection.
