More than 200 pages on the Dribble Drive Offense

The  greatly expanded version of the Dribble Drive Offense book is available to buy on Amazon, Lulu.com and as an eBook, below.

The book has 200 pages and was been completely rewritten. I’ve gotten to the bottom of the Dribble Drive, and all the little details of the offense. I talked to Vance Walberg  and that finally settled the last few issues of X’s and O’s. I really think this book covers everything there is to know about the Dribble Drive. There really is no comparison to the first version of the book. This one is 100% better (and 100% longer).

Look for the new chapters on:

  • fundamentals
  • the break down zone
  • passing and cutting
  • the pick & roll
  • the S-gap
  • switching and sagging defenses
  • post play, including how to play with two post players
  • an added 45 pages of drills.

Butler Bulldogs

I’ve been quite impressed with the play of the Butler Bulldogs in this year’s NCAA Tournament.

Specifically I’ve been impressed with their inside screens. Pop over to the NCAA on demand page and have a look:

Notice how Butler constantly are using their bigs to create space on the inside by sealing the post defenders, often from the inside. Whenever the defenders front the post the Butler bigs will just seal on the inside – and this creates a lot of space, and it occupies the post defenders so they help less.

This is somethingthat tickles my brain. I really like it, and I will look at how you can use this in the Dribble Drive.

They often manage to take away the

The 3-on-3 Transition Drill

Transition is a continuous 3 on 3 drill that’s fun and challenging, with two teams competing against each other, while focusing on the Dribble Drive Break/Sideline Break and defensive transition.

The drill continues the work started in the Scramble 11 man break drill, using the same tactics, but now requiring the wings to beat their man to force the outnumbered situation.

Drag 2 to the 3 – where to go next?

On a Drag 2 drive with a pass to the 3, the question has been asked where the 1 should go after the pass, if you want to take advantage of the post.

Wallberg has the 1 go to the 3-corner after the pass, as shown here.

The question posed is if it wouldn’t be better if the 1 goes opposite, as to not clog up the middle with his defender?

I think that solution poses several problems, as I’ll explain below.
