Coach Bruno has developed a nationwide reputation as a pressure defense coach. In this DVD, he shares 10 points that help his teams force turnovers and create baskets with their press. Bruno's teams are one of the country's highest scoring teams due mainly to the tempo created by this pressing package. By disrupting offensive rhythm and neutralizing size, Bruno's team is able to beat any team in the country. His use of multiple players in this pressure system eventually wears down opponents. Defining roles, creating team chemistry, and superior conditioning are critical aspects to the success of this style of play. Eight fundamental principles are the foundation of teaching and implementing the pressure package. Using a 5-on-5 concept on the floor, Bruno demonstrates each of his fundamentals and teaching points.
