Coaching the Dribble Drive…

This is a pretty old video I’d forgotten all about. It’s from the first year we ran the Dribble Drive, when I was in England. We were playing undefeated Leeds Carnegie, in probably the most perfect game any of my teams have ever played.

After the first quarter we had been called for 10 fouls and Leeds had only been called for one and we were down only 21-18. At the break I had a quiet word with the referees, where they didn’t get to say much, and things evened out.

At the end of the game we were down one, with Leeds having the ball, but also having to shoot before time expired. We blocked them twice in the key with 10 seconds to go (I don’t know why they shot the second shot), got the ball back, and a kick-back from point guard Simon Mitchell to shooting guard James Harris won the game.

It’s just a reminder that the fundamentals of the Dribble Drive can win you unexpected games.

Even if you run the Dribble Drive there are many reasons you might want to run two post players at the same time. You might have great size, or you might have two players who are not able to play on the perimeter, who you want to play together.

Playing two post players doesn’t necessarily mean abandoning your Dribble Drive principles, however.

On any entry into the post, when you have two post players, just continue using the principles of the Dribble Drive post player movement.

If O5 makes a move to the middle O4 relocates under the basket, just like a middle drive in the 4-out Dribble Drive.

This will either draw X4 away from the help or leave O4 open under the basket.

If O5 makes a move to the baseline O4 T’s up – just like on a baseline drive in the 4-out Dribble Drive.

And the price has been slashed

Apparently the provider for the automatic process of accepting payment for and sending out the Zone Offense System e-Booklet has gone out of business, and the book hasn’t been available for a while. It is now up and running again. This has obviously been an annoyance to some people, so we’ve slashed the price by 20% for a limited time.

In my original book there is a section about the Dribble Drive Zone Offense, and I have now expanded that section greatly with the new information from coach Walberg’s latest DVD’s (Walberg Advanced Dribble-Drive Offense: Zone & Transition Game).

The new eBook is 23 pages, and includes:

• X’s and O’s for the Fresno 4-out Push offense
• X’s and O’s for the Fresno 3-out “2-Game” offense
• How to combine Push and 2-game into simple offensive system
• Six different set plays in two different series which fit seamlessly with the zone offense.

The book can only be purchased here on the site, for $7.99 through a secure Paypal payment:

Please note that I have to process the file and send it to you manually, so if I’m coaching at an away game er sleeping (I’m in Europe) it might be several hours before I’m able to process your order.

As most European leagues are now in-season, and our friends in the US are gearing up for it, we’ve put the price of the Dribble Drive eBook down from $21.99 to $18.99.
