Andy Landers: Building a Tenacious Full Court Pressure Defense

This is one of my favorite instructional videos. Coach Landers is a master at simplifying concepts in a clear and concise manner. The best part of this video is that the concepts presented are as relevant today as they were when the production was made.

very good intructions to build a full court defense

Good breakdown drills. good terminology to adapt.
Old school way of pressing. Not the Vance way of pressing.
Solid video overall.

Excellent DVD. Coach Landers teaches the principles of any successful full court defense. I highly recommend, no matter the type of press you run.

Andy Landers is a GREAT teacher. I will look for any video he has produced. The step by step progression demonstrated how to play a great man to man full court defense that easily translates to 2-2-1, run and jump, and 1-2-1-1. Excellent. Excellent. Excellent.

Rick Pitino has a 4 pack offered on this site from 1989 that is outstanding especially the segment on full court pressure. I have purchased many pressure dvds including Calhoun, Walhberg, Pearl and more. Pitinos has been the best since 1989 until now. I own 80 DVDS and this is now number one. It is hard to express how well taught this is. Landers is so thorough and knowledgeable explaining concepts that he will honestly have you saying EUREKA a few times. His explanation of SUPPORT and CUTTING the floor are invaluable.
My only complaint to Championship production is there needs two be a Part Two. "Putting it all together". Landers teaches you the nuts and bolts of pressure. However doesn't get time to show his take on a 2-2-1 or 1-2-2 etc. This is all man to man pressure. However so well taught you can apply his concepts to any zone press.
If you can get him back for DVD number two please do.
However this DVD in my opinion will change how you view pressure and make you MUCH more confident teaching full court pressure.
This gets five stars only because they don't allow six! Great job coach Landers!

What a great video this is!! You could run any kind of press using his techniques. This video is for anyone looking to get an overview of how to run a full court press. Very good drills add to the lesson and he does a great job of explaining everything. My only negative, is that he was rushed at the end to get everything he wanted in. But overall I give this video 5 stars.

Nice details and gradual progression of drills to running the press. Skills taught can be used during any press. Looking forward to playing an up tempo pressured style of basketball with a smaller team than normal. Thanks to coach I feel confident we will be able to hang in there against the bigger teams.

Great video if you want to learn more about Coach Landers full court man to man pressure defense. Coach Landers also breaks down the content that is easily understood. Coach Landers does take a few minutes on his 2-2-1 defense. I would recommend this video to everyone.

Excellent video for building pressure defense, especially for coaches with limited court time. Coach Landers shows how basic principles apply to full court man or zone systems.

Best pressure defense DVD on the market. The breakdown drills and principles are well explained & the simplicity of it helps for any level.

Just great! from man 2 man to 2-2-1 to run and jump. Must have. Step by step explanation

Great Dvd, The explication by Andy Landers is easy to understand . I apply it to my team this year and we are having a lot of success. I recommend this dvd to anybody who want a great full court man to man. It's the best dvd I brought on pressure defense. A must for any coach .

Great dvd! The progression of drills is well done, and the drills are good drills. His coaching style is very unorthodox, but I like it.

Great DVD - really impressed with how this video was presented, both by Coach Landers and the video producers. Drills were very useful and they way they were taught was very helpful - a great way to build pressure defenses.

Great DVD! One of the best purchases I've ever made from Championship Productions. For those who don't press this is a must own if you are thinking about it. This video really breaks down how to press and teaches it from the ground up.

As far as the quality of the topics covered it was great. Mainly because of the no nonsense approach of Mr. Landers. He'd be a tough son of a gun to play for but he knows defense. The issue with this DVD is that it is woefully incomplete. No fault of his own. When you are filming a clinic presentation this automatically imposes a time limit. The philosophy and basics are covered and thats it. Andy Landers needs a full 2+ hrs and his own DVD not just part of a clinic. I love this coach and hope to see him do another more in depth presentation. If that happens I buy it no questions asked !! Bring Andy back please.

Already in the first building blocks, which look very basic but are essential, coach Landers surprises with the insights he shares. He builds his press on a very solid foundation in his typical style. Not only what he teaches but also the way he teaches his stuff and communicates with the players contains valuable information. Probably the best DVD I have bought on this subject. I would recommend it highly and quoted on 10 I would had given a 9.

Even though Championshipproductions usually does a poor job with clinics they film, this DVD was very good and very useful. Coach Landers does a terrific job of demonstrating and teaching different skills and objectives in the press. Everything is taught in the context of man-to-man, but when he showed how to install a 2-2-1 press in about 90seconds, it was clear that he was teaching the true building blocks of all pressure defenses.
Thumbs down to Championshipproductions and whoever was running the clinic for not letting coach Landers have more time. If he had the time to show a 1-2-1-1, 1-2-2, 1-3-1 etc, this would be the best press DVD available. Why is this Championshipproductions' fault if the clinic cut his time short? Because they could jolly well have included a chalk-talk at the end or something.
Verdict: buy. Despite poor production quality and planning, coach Landers' personal brilliance makes this a truly valuable resource.

One of the best or the best video on teaching the concepts on how to full court press.

I agree with the other reviews. By far the best full court pressure breakdown DVD that I have see. At this time I have over 40+ dvd's and this is definitely one of the top 3 that I have purchased. I have been coaching HS girls basketball for 12+ years and I will use this to build my press next year.
I would strongly recommend buying this dvd.

The description provided for this video is extremely accurate...

"Whether you run a 2-2-1, 1-2-2, 1-2-1-1, or a Run and Jump full court press, this material can help you with positioning, spacing, ball pressure, and help defense."

The drills themselves were not only helpful but in concluding the video, Landers illustrates how they are directly applicable to the 1-2-1-1 and 2-2-1. The drills included here should be the first step used in implementing a full court press.

Coach Landers does a very good job of teaching the building blocks of full court defense. We use it at practice and it has worked wonders!

This is an excellent video for anyone who is interested in running a full court man-to-man defense. It gives great drills and easy rules for players to follow. It makes teaching the principles very easy for players to follow. He touches on other types of presses, however, these principles can easily be transferred for any type of full-court pressing defense. WAY BETTER THAN BILLY TUBBS VIDEO, IMO!!

Great at breaking down drills to improve man-man full court defense. Best man-man defensive dvd I've seen.
