hey coaches are you looking for an easy
0:06
uh full core press break that you can
0:08
teach your teams um to get them to
0:12
effectively uh beat the pressure I'm
0:15
going to show you one here today it's
0:17
pretty simple to learn pretty simple to
0:19
teach I I would suggest though with any
0:23
um press break that you rep it out quite
0:26
a bit in practice put a lot of pressure
0:28
on your players to make sure that they
0:30
understand it but essentially with this
0:32
one you're really set up in like a 14
0:36
kind of
0:37
setup and what I have my team do when
0:41
especially the inbounder when they're
0:42
inbounding the ball um you know they
0:45
they their job is to make sure that each
0:47
player knows what their responsibility
0:50
is knows where they're set up um they'll
0:52
call whatever press break they're going
0:54
to run you know if they have to delay
0:56
the ref a little bit to get their player
0:59
set up you know maybe they'll tie their
1:00
shoe or something but as soon as they
1:03
have that basketball in their hand
1:04
they're smacking the ball and then it's
1:07
execution time they don't have much time
1:09
to inbound the basketball so what each
1:11
player what what these four players are
1:13
going to do you know is they're going to
1:15
kind of do like a quick little Sprint
1:17
they're not going to go far they're just
1:18
going to kind of throw off their
1:19
defending player and then they're all
1:21
going to like come into the
1:24
ball and you know maybe one of them will
1:26
get open doing that and then you can you
1:29
know pass the ball in and then with any
1:32
press break you're looking really to get
1:33
the ball in the middle but if the other
1:35
team's really good at what they're doing
1:38
and that doesn't work what you want is
1:41
you want to kind of um have these two
1:44
players kind of run in at an angle
1:46
almost as if they're going to
1:48
crisscross and then instead you want the
1:51
player that's uh away from or the
1:53
furthest away in the middle to the
1:55
inbounder to kind of set a quick screen
1:58
for this player
2:01
chances are you won't get the pass off
2:03
if you do that's good they can just
2:04
dribble it up and they'll very likely
2:07
you know have a pretty clear path to the
2:09
other side of the Court by just simply
2:11
getting the ball and going but if not
2:14
you could also have a nice overhead pass
2:18
to the player going over the court that
2:21
always doesn't work out that way a lot
2:22
of times these teams have um a safety
2:25
setup but if all players are down here
2:27
on this side of the Court it it may work
2:30
um if that doesn't work what you want is
2:33
you want for your screener to now you
2:36
know kind of peel out to open up if they
2:38
get the pass they're in the middle great
2:41
if not they're shooting over here to
2:45
this player and they can set a screen
2:48
just as long as they're using their
2:49
screens effectively you should be able
2:51
to get the ball out and then just look
2:53
to dribble it into the middle and just
2:55
go straight and they can kind of pass it
2:57
around and make it work you know this
3:00
player here that just set the screen is
3:02
now going this way this player is now
3:07
going this way and really that's how you
3:09
break a press is you just get it into
3:10
the
3:13
middle and then Advance the ball right
3:17
so coach your players to always run the
3:21
lanes in a press break the ball's in the
3:25
middle and this player can you know dart
3:28
out get the ball p fast we're going fast
3:31
in a press break you know we're not
3:33
we're not waiting around our goal is to
3:35
get the ball you know over to the other
3:37
side of the court and get it over there
3:39
quick so that we can um so that we can
3:42
uh you know not have to worry about
3:44
getting a violation for staying on the
3:46
other side of the Court too long so I'll
3:48
kind of break that down again just in
3:50
case you missed
3:54
it we're setting up in a 1 14
4:00
you know as soon as the ball is smacked
4:03
by the point guard or whoever's
4:04
inbounding you know they're all shooting
4:06
forward here just real quick just a
4:08
quick little little like jab step and
4:11
then they're and then they're coming in
4:13
towards the
4:14
ball the only difference is these two
4:17
players
4:18
are you know this player is going to set
4:20
up a screen for this player and then
4:22
this player is shooting out okay so
4:25
you're going to definitely have that
4:26
Defender following that player and then
4:30
this player's popping out if he can get
4:33
it great if not he's coming over here
4:36
set a screen and you should be able to
4:37
get this player coming off that screen
4:40
and now
4:42
everybody is moving forward I always use
4:45
the inbounder as the as the safety you
4:48
know to kind of trail behind Whoever has
4:50
that basketball in the middle and if
4:52
they have to pass it backwards which I
4:54
don't like when uh players pass it
4:57
backwards but they're there just in case
4:59
um if this if things are moving you know
5:01
this player is sprinting and getting set
5:04
up so that's it folks um that's just a
5:07
quick down and dirty easy uh F uh pass
5:12
uh press break to teach your team and to
5:14
use and execute during games remember a
5:16
pro tip is uh practice this a bunch
5:19
before putting into a game this isn't
5:21
something you want to draw on a board
5:22
and just show your players they need to
5:24
execute it during and rep it out during
5:26
practice I hope you enjoyed it please uh
