Learn how to implement the most successful pick and roll systems use at the highest competitive levels all over the world.
Fran Fraschilla, international basketball expert, compares the American style of pick and roll with the international style and describes why the concept of having four perimeter players has led to more skill development within the international community. He provides you with a detailed look at the side pick and roll and spread pick and roll half court offenses that have made the international game competitive, even with the NBA.
Coach Fraschilla uses on-court demonstrators to show you how to space your players to successfully run the pick and roll. He demonstrates three, side pick and roll plays outlining actions your team can use to score off of dribble penetration in the paint or a kick-out option to the perimeter. These sets include the:
- Butler Pick and Roll Action that has made their offense so effective.
- Lithuanian Continuity Offense using side pick and rolls and dribble hand-offs throughout the offense.
- Spread Pick and Roll Offense that has been a big part of many international teams' rise to the World Championships. He offers several looks that will get you into your spread pick and roll offensive system.
This is a great pick and roll DVD that is useful for any college or high school coach looking to gain an advantage using the pick and roll offensive system.

See a logical, systematic way to build your defense.
ESPN college basketball analyst and international basketball expert Fran Fraschilla presents you with a progressive way to build your man-to-man defense through the use of practice drills.
Coach Fraschilla has spent years coaching and studying the game of basketball and has put together a thorough guide on man-to-man defense and principles. This is not an instructional DVD that is going to tell you exactly how to play your man-to-man defense, rather it focuses on building your program. Fraschilla guides you through extensive principles and philosophy that will make you think about how you teach your man-to-man defense.
Coach Fraschilla outlines his four points of emphasis that every man defense needs to incorporate: ball pressure, no splits, closeout and contest, and finish the possession. Fraschilla uses visual aids and charts to show the progressive style, both offensively and defensively, allowing his coaching staff to be prepared for any situation.
You will see six practice drills you can use to put all your defensive principles, strategies, and tactics together in various combinations. Fraschilla uses 4-on-4 drills to incorporate defending dribble penetration, staggered action, and defending screens. He emphasizes stunting and foot faking to take away offensive advantages when your defense is put into a tight situation. Coach describes the numerous variations you can create with a 4-on-4 shell drill, as well as:
- A 3-man series drill that will help you prepare for your opponents offensive screening action early in the season.
- Drills that will progressively build your man defense principles by using 4-on-4 and 3-on-3 half court demonstrations.
Coach Frischilla's building man-to-man defense DVD is great for any coach that is looking to improve their man-to-man philosophy or just starting out and looking to build their philosophy.
