Stuff’s happening!
Welcome to the new coachdribbledrive.com
Over the past few months I’ve spent a lot of time on upgrading the site and you’re looking at the result.
Over the next several months coachdribbledrive.com will receive a lot more love. I’ll be providing a lot more information on the Dribble Drive Offense, including more drills, but I’ve also been busy writing a book on defense, and I’m looking to do some more reviews of coaching materials.
As I’ve been redesigning the site I’ve looked at reviews for the first time in maybe ten years. This one makes me proud!
This is an awesome book. The book offers more than just X’s and O’s – it has great drills as well as insight into how to build a practice, a program, and a mindset. At this price, I would recommend purchasing it even if you do not plan on running DDM
Review at Championship ProductionsFor now the brand new shop is open, so you can get the Dribble Drive Motion Offense and Zone eBooks, if you don’t already have them.
DVD Reviews
One thing I hear a lot of questions about are the various DVD sets about the Dribble Drive Motion. Are they any good? Are they good enough? Who are they for? Below I’m reviewing some of the best known Dribble Drive DVD’s on the market.
Just press the cover picture for the review.

A National Championship Coach Shares His Experiences
Coach Bart Sengers of the Netherlands is a coach at Eurosped Twente in Tubbergen and is also involved with the Team Holland Under 18 womens team as an assistant coach. With his club coach Sengers coaches the women and the Under 16 ladies.With a very young womens team coach Sengers got some upsets playing quick basketball which helped Sengers get elected as an all star coach and runner up for coach of the year. The Under-16 girls did even better as they won the national title.
Here’s coach Sengers account of the 2010-11 season.

The Dribble Drive Warmup Reads Drill
The two lines Dribble Drive Warmup Reads Drill combines dynamic stretching drills, ball handling and Break Down Zone moves from the Dribble Drive Offense.
I use the drill all the time with my 16’s and under boys team. In fact, this is the only drill we’ve used to practice the moves and reads of theBreak Down Zone.
The line on the right performs ball handling moves in a zig zag line to half court. Any ball handling and/or dribbling moves can be used. We currently use basic moves like the cross-over, behind the back and so on.Dribble Drive Game Film Sharing
I’ve had a request from a coach – and I think it’s a fantastic idea. This coach wants to make game film exchange for dribble drive coaches. Would anyone be interested in doing a Dropbox file exchange where we put out game film for others to watch?
I’ll be happy to share game film of my Under 16’s team from Northern Europe.I’ve only coached them for a couple of months but they’ve already made great strides with the Dribble Drive. An article will be up soonish – I currently coach 4-6 games a week between the pro mens team and the Under16 varsity and junior varsity, so time is super limited.

Walberg Advanced Dribble Drive Review
Last spring Coach Walberg released three new Dribble Drive DVD ses through Championship Productions, and after having used them (and a lot of other sources) to write my last book, it’s time for a review. The DVD’s released were:Advanced Dribble-Drive Offense: Zone & Transition Game, $119.99
100 Drills and Sets for Implementing the Dribble Drive Offense, $79.99
Walberg also released a defensive DVD set at the same time:
Vance Walberg: Half-Court Pressure Defensive System, 79.99
I don’t personally use Walberg’s defensive sets, so I’ll leave the defensive DVD out of the review.

New book out now! 200 pages on the Dribble Drive
The brand new and greatly expanded version of my book is now available to buy on Lulu.com and as an eBook.The book now has 200 pages and has been completely rewritten. I’ve taken out chapters on the Dribble Drive Zone Offense and the Complimentary High Post offense, and instead I’ve gotten to the bottom of the Dribble Drive, and all the little details of the offense.
I talked to Vance Walberg this week and that finally settled the last few issues of X’s and O’s, and now I’m ready to publish. I really think this book covers everything there is to know about the Dribble Drive.
There really is no comparison to the first 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 defences, post play, including how to play with two post players, and an added 45 pages of drills.

Calipari – a good guy or a con artist?
I’ve heard John Calipari described as a con artist who wins through recruting only – and through shady recruiting too. Having seen the Kentucky All Access DVD’s I’m very sure that the man can coach, and can coach really well (those DVD’s come very recommended).
On the recruitment – and on the man in general – Sports Illustrated ran a feature article a while back (which I only just saw). It’s a really good insight into what makes a big-time college coach:

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
