Get a front row seat to one of James Jones daily practices – jam-packed with teaching, drills and structured Xs & Os!
Receive a detailed lesson plan on teaching essential defensive techniques needed to defend off-the-ball screens and low-post actions.
See on-the court demonstrations of multiple half-court sets that are tough for opponents to defend and work to get high-percentage shots.
Watch a series of valuable breakdown drills that you can use in your daily practices to build and teach your half-court and full-court defense.
In this Open Practice instructional coaching video, Yale’s James Jones opens his gymnasium doors for all the coaches out there and provides an in-depth examination of how he runs his practices.
Moving through the practice, you’ll watch as Jones builds half-court man-to-man sets in his half court offenses, which leads into a segment of 5-on-5 situations. From there, the players break down 1-on-1 situations that build on-the-ball defense inside the paint.
