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.

See the reviews below. Continue reading Walberg Advanced Dribble Drive Review

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.

Swim Move

In The Dribble Drive Motion – An Instruction Manual I talk at length about the fundamentals of attacking 1-on-1, inspired by coach Dave Smart of Carleton University, Canada. I players are much more effective when they use the swim move, and at the 1:55 mark in the video below you will see how it works against the number 1 NBA draft pick John Wall:

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=whVEiYap1F4&w=640&h=385&rel=0&hd=1]

Notice how Jeremy Lin reaches out with his left arm and keeps Wall on his side for the entire drive. The commentators say that Wall has to work on his “D”, but once the swim move is established it’s almost impossible to recover.

Also look at the 5:06 mark where Lin blows by his man. Again he uses the felt arm to create leverage effectively, and that’s why I teach the swim move.
