Terry Carroll: Second Cutter Press Break Offense

Excellent demonstration of defeating pressure defense. Loved the teaching methods and description of the attitude your team should have when opponents attempt to pressure you: go down the floor and shoot a layup. Appropriate for teams of all ages. Five stars - no doubt about it.

A good video. Coach does a good job of explaining it. They show it against man and zone press. It looks pretty simple. I really liked the 3 v. 3 breakdown drill.

I am giving this DVD a 5-Star Rating.

Coach Carroll does an excellent job of presenting this press break offense. Coach starts off showing this press break in a Whole-Part-Whole setting. He presents the offense using 5-players and then walking you through each players responsibilities in the press break offense.

Another reason why I liked this Press Break Offense DVD was because of the coach and his teaching. One part of the break down drill section, coach gave a great teaching moment on "Getting Open". Once a player got open, he instantly put the ball on the deck. Coach quickly corrected the player and talk about the basic concept of "Catch-Turn, Face"

This Press Break works against Man, Even, an Odd Press Defensive set-ups. Coach shows actions that can defeat those pressure defensive systems. The point stressed in this DVD is Ball Reversal, seeing 2nd Cutter, Middle Man being patient, an attacking the basketball when you have the chance to score. Great Press Break to Install for the season. 5-Star rating.

I took over a girls' team this past season with very little time for preparation. I had no summer or preseason to work with them. They were deficient in many areas, and handling full court pressure was their greatest weakness. I had used many different systems with success in the past, but the girls could grasp nothing I was teaching. I saw Coach Carroll's DVD; researched it; and made the purchase. Despite their fundamental struggles, my girls picked up this simple system quickly. It worked against every zone press we faced, and we cut average turnovers from 29 a game to 14 after 2 weeks. Now I've scrapped all my various attacks for different presses and only use Coach Carroll's 2-cutter system. The girls have enormous confidence in the system, too. Simplify your press attack by just using this system.

overall this is good and coach does a great job of showing you all the options. It's pretty simple but hard to stop if ran well.

A good video. I'm going to install it this week and see how it goes. It allows you to put the ball in your ballhandlers hands and use your other players as passers. I'm interested to see how it works against different types of presses. It seems simple but I will add to the review once I install it.

I loved this DVD. I am going to use this pressbreaker. It is easy, universal- can be used against man or zone and half court pressure. Very clear presentation.
