Get an all access pass to two Duke practices! Listen in as Krzyzewski provides a coaching perspective of his practices, what he teaches, why and what he will be looking for during the practices.
Throughout the practices Krzyzewski provides priceless wisdom and basketball knowledge as he coaches and teaches his players, and provides coaching points for the drills and concepts he uses.
The Blue Devils run a multitude of half- and full-court drills featuring a variety of game-like situations that build up from 2-on-0 to 5-on-0 drills into an action or set play.
Get a look inside Duke's split drills where post players work on various angles for the pick-and-roll and "slips," while perimeter players work on penetrate-and-kick action and shooting on the move.
Moving to the defensive side of the ball, the Blue Devils work on various three-quarter and full-court pressure defenses and off-the-ball defenses.
Assistant Coach Steve Wojciechowski explains the importance of early communication and the point of pressure concept as he covers the "Duke Method" of defending ball screens both near the top of the key and on the wing. He demonstrates and teaches the hard show technique, switching and trap techniques in tremendous detail.
Switching to offense, the Blue Devils demonstrate various techniques in breaking 2-2-1, 1-2-2 and 1-2-1-1 full court pressure defenses. Coach K demonstrates the "quick pass" concept and the "catch and face" technique in attacking full court pressure.
Assistant Coach Chris Collins introduces Duke's elbow series, which features set plays that bring the post players above the elbow to allow for great spacing. This opens up the floor for small teams to create mismatches and provides good cutting action and movement.
Every inbounds play is an opportunity to score. With that frame of mind, Collins demonstrates Duke's "Line Series" and "Box Series" of inbounds plays.
Coach K provides you with shooting drills that simulate offensive sets to better teach those sets with game-like movement. You will see how Duke attacks the zone with the post players flashing from behind the zone, and the guards driving into gaps and catching the ball shot ready. He also directs 4- and 6-minute scrimmages where players work on game situations and decision making.
Everything is brought together with nearly 90 minutes of informative "question and answer" sessions that cover topics such as Coach K's experience with the gold medal-winning USA Olympic Basketball team, Duke's method for scouting opponents, advice for young coaches, the best way to teach shooting technique and much more.
This DVD set covers nearly every facet of building a successful basketball program the Duke Blue Devil way.
