The details he covers can be useful from the professional level all the way down to youth teams.\u0026lt; p\u0026gt;\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e3-on-0 and 5-on-0 Drills\u0026lt; p\u0026gt;\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCoach Kruger begins teaching offensive concepts with his 3-on-0 drill. The drill incorporates making passes with the outside hand  v-cuts  and balancing the floor with the dribble. Going at game speed and simulating game situations  this drill is designed to emphasize proper execution of fundamentals in half-court offense.\u0026lt; p\u0026gt;\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs a change of pace  the v-cut is replaced by the back cut  but the drill continues with many of the same elements as before. Working to the right and to the left  the basic elements of Coach Kruger's offense are emphasized and taught with the additional wrinkle.\u0026lt; p\u0026gt;\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUsing a 5-on-0 transition drill  Coach Kruger teaches the spacing and different options of his transition attack. He teaches players how to run the floor by getting them into the right spots in the half court. With a full understanding of these spots  players can then successfully execute Coach Kruger's transition offense. He also discusses how to adapt this system to different types of skill sets  and shows several different options that his teams have used over the years.  \u0026lt; p\u0026gt;\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMany of the concepts that were taught in the 3-on-0 drill are used in secondary break offense. Added into transition offense is the ball screen with the trailer screening for the posted big  who then comes out to set the ball screen at the wing.\u0026lt; p\u0026gt;\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBreakdown of the Ball Screen\u0026lt; p\u0026gt;\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCoach Kruger places an emphasis on proper timing  screening angles based on the player's abilities  and the execution of popping or rolling by the post player setting the ball screen.\u0026lt; p\u0026gt;\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor the guards  the skills vary and Coach Kruger teaches the importance of proper execution of screening angles by the on-ball screener. For players who can drive  he emphasizes setting the screen more inside the 3-point line. For those who are better shooters  setting the screen more above the 3-point line is recommended.\u0026lt; p\u0026gt;\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor post players setting the ball screen  Coach Kruger works to the strength of the player once again. Better shooters are given the freedom to step out behind the 3-point line and shoot the basketball  while those who are better inside players are taught to roll to the basket and look for the ball.\u0026lt; p\u0026gt;\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOffense Against Zone Defenses\u0026lt; p\u0026gt;\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCoach Kruger demonstrates concepts that are tried and true in breaking the 2-3 defense. Starting with a 1-3-1 look  the concepts of ball fakes  dribble penetration of the gaps  and misdirection are discussed and demonstrated.\u0026lt; p\u0026gt;\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAdded to the 2-3 zone attack is the angled ball screen. By being able to distort the zone using the ball screen  defensive players in the zone get moved out of position or face giving up an open shot to the liking of the offense.\u0026lt; p\u0026gt;\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlso demonstrated are ways to attack the 1-3-1 zone  1-3-1 half-court trap  and 1-2-2 zone. Using skip passes and many of the same offensive concepts presented against the 2-3 zone  Coach Kruger demonstrates an effective attack that can be used to get ideal shots.\u0026lt; p\u0026gt;\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this DVD  Coach Kruger gives you everything you need to install and teach your own offensive attack in practice.
