Don Showalter:

• Continuity
• Pick-and-Roll with re-screen
• Zone Shift, lob & counter

Coach Showalter believes it's important to give your players freedom when facing zone offenses. His zone continuity offense does just that, and he shows examples of how he implements his offense with players on the court.

Mike Krzyzewski:

• 5 Principles of attacking a zone
• Gap vs. 2-1-2 zone

Coach K addresses his five principles of attacking a zone defense. Two concepts that stand out in the presentation are keeping your bigs behind the defense and using effective screens verses the zone.

Bob Knight:

• Breakdown drills 3v4 and 4v4
• Attacking a 3-2 zone

Hall of Fame coach, Bob Knight, likes to attack zones using the dribble. This type of attack results in pulling two defenders to cover one man. As the ball is moved via the dribble, the defense won't be able to cover everyone.

Geno Auriemma:

• Beating a 2-3 with quick passes

Geno Auriemma shares some of his best looks verses the zone, then adds a nearly unguardable offense that he borrowed from the Russian National Team.

Jim Larranaga:

• "Slice & Dice" against the 2-3

Coach Larranaga took his George Mason team all the way to the Final Four in 2006. In his portion of the video, he shows his "Slice and Dice" offense, which offers a whole different look verses the zone and helped George Mason make their deep tourney run.

Bill Self:

• Stationary against the 2-3
• Slash against the 3-2

Bill Self breaks down the actions his Kansas teams use verses the zone. You'll learn how to attack both the 2-3 and the 3-2 from Coach Self.

• Jim Boeheim: Offense vs 2-3, 1-3-1 and Match-up zones
• Kermit Davis: Tilt Zone motion (6 options)
• Brad Brownell: Shallow Flare
• Sean Miller: Wheel
• Jerry Petitgoue: Away dribble drive from the top, through dribble drive from the wing and Triangle option
