The Versatile Run & Jump Press

The simple drills really work. Also liked the adjustments that were given on what to do against various press breakers. Thank you Coach!

I have over 30 plus videos and this is my least favorite, I think the whole video could have been done on a white board in 10 minutes. The only value I received out of it was different ways to attack a M2M run/Jump. Some of the drills were creative for any basketball team, not specific to R/J! Although coach may have a great understanding of the system, he never explained to the players and just let them roll them out and play. They never trapped from behind or even talked about it. He just talked about trap zones, and ways to start vs different alignments and told the players to just run around and trap. Very disappointed! Will be calling for a credit

John, thank you for your order. Glad we were able to assist with an exchange for a different title. We appreciate your patronage of Championship Productions!

This was a really good video. He starts out using a whiteboard to go over the rules of the press and the roles of the players. they then move to the court where you get to see players working on the press. What i really liked is that he went over different press breakers that are used against the run and jump and then you got to see the defense against the different press breakers. The video ends with several drills.

Unfortunately , this was the 2nd Run and Jump video I purchased. The first one didn't show me how to use it game situations. This was was great because he demonstrated every drill he was talking about with players that knew the Run and Jump. He praised the boys when they did it right and then showed what the players did wrong when they made a mistake.

I am glad I purchased this video and rate it 4,5 stars.

1. This tutorial gives insight into his R&J strategy. The structure of the video and strategy itself is well designed. The tutorial gives you drills that are not freely available on youtube. Bailek also addresses how to beat offensive countertactics which are often used against his R&J press i.e. clear out, 1-4 out of bounce, etcetc;
2. The difference between alot of free Run & Jump video's on youtube and Jemery Bailek's video, is that the Run & Jump Jemery Bailek runs also lets players trap & jump in the vertical plane. Eventually the players may trap anywhere for that matter iirc. This in contrast to freely available content of Rick Chambers, Steve Collins, George Mason and Mike Rhoades. Their R&J concepts are simpler and only trap in the horizontal plane stricktly against the sidelines;
3. The problem I have with these freely available Run & Jump clinics on the internet, is that some of these coaches do not let their teams play Run & Jump or never won alot of championships by playing a Run & Jump trapping defense. Next to that alot of freely available content has large holes in them, which often raises more questions then the video answers. So you basically still do not know the exact progressions and the way the trainers analyse the performance of players in drills they run. This raises the question how much their freely youtube clinics and freely avalable PDF"s are actually worth. I wanted to be sure that a Run & Jump trapping press could be competatively played by non-professional teams under U18 level. The video of Bailek gave me the last confidenceboost I needed to let a team play Run & Jump;
4. The reason I did not give 5 stars is because I would have liked 2 or 3 more drillsvideo's of how Bailek teaches the basic Run & Jump. Which according to this video is the basis of his Run & Jump Strategy (which is logical). You can find a number of these drills for free on the internet, but I would have rather liked to have his drills and progressions because his school became back to back to back champion by playing this Run & Jump trapping press. So Bailek must be doing something slightly different at every level which makes his Run & Jump strategy much more efficient;

I am glad I purchased this video and think coach bailek is a very good teacher.

Coach, Thank you for offering your feedback on this video. We appreciate you taking the time to leave a helpful review for other coaches! -- Championship Productions

I thought this video was one of the top pressing videos out there. A lot of good stuff to take from it, if you are wanting to be a pressing team. Was willing to answer any questions I had, and they were genuine answers.

The Run & Jump Press video thoroughly explained how to create controlled pressure, havoc, and unpredictability for opponents. Jeremy provided great detail and situational thinking that always answered the "what-if" or "well then what about". I really like full court defense because players, while it may take them awhile to learn the reads and communicate, are given the opportunity to play freely (within the rules and roles) and make anticipatory decisions. Great Video!

I have bought a lot of videos of this site and I found this one to be one of the best purchases I have made. The material was organized and explained in a logical, easy to follow manner!! In addition Coach Bialek went through common ways that the press may be attacked and provided counters for those attacks. I would recommend both Coach Bialek's videos!!
