Proven Set Plays for WINNING CHAMPIONSHIPS

Over the decade of the 1990's, Coach Jay Monahan has designed set plays to win with different compliments of talent year in and year out. He has won CHAMPIONSHIPS with exceptional execution and not necessarily exceptional talent.  Coach Monahans philosophy is simply to design plays which make opponents PAY for playing good defense! Most every set play has multiple options, which make each and every play extremely difficult to defend.

We all get information, including coaching philosophies and even plays from many of the most famous college coaches in the country, but seldom do we get proven step-by-step success from our peers in a high school coach.   Here is a unique opportunity to compliment your winning program by improving your arsenal.  This may give you that edge we are all looking for as you prepare for the this season as well as upcoming seasons.

This is a one-of-a-kind instructional manual in which Coach Monahan will take you step-by-step through easy to understand diagrams of each play.  Each players responsibilities are clearly defined in each frame.

This manual offers not only set plays that are proven to work against just a man-to-man defense, but proven set plays to run against zone defenses and gimmick defenses as well.  Gone will be the days where a box-and-one or a triangle-and-two will shut your team down.  Additionally, Coach Monahan will share with you all the successful out-of-bound sets underneath your own basket, and out-of-bound sets along the sideline to run against both man-to-man and zone defenses.  You will learn about how important non-verbal communications can be in running multiple plays out of the same sets, which thoroughly confuses not only defenders, but opposing coaches as well.

From a defensive perspective, Coach Monahan will share with you how he designed a half court defense that allows you to thoroughly confuse an opponent.  The "AMMO" defensive section will clearly define how to show a zone set, and through non-verbal reads, successfully switch into one of three different defensive sets and all be on the same page.  This transition will allow you to play aggressive defense while offensive players and opposing coaches struggle to develop any kind of continuity in their offense trying to recognize what defense you are in.

The last CHAPTER offered is just some of the basic philosophies and concepts implemented by Coach Monahan which have led to very successful seasons over the past eight years.  He will  share with you how effective organization skills can make your limited court time much more valuable. It will show how to best utilize game films and develop scouting reports to give your players not only a competitive edge, but a psychological advantage as well. Also included in the Tips for Success CHAPTER are unique practice techniques that have proven to get the most out of players for that short intense time in the gym. And with many other tips, Coach Monahan shares some of his philosophies about how critical game strategy is tied to substitutions during the game.

This is worth 6 to 10 points per game.

Chapter 10 - How to beat any Trapping Full Court Press - is arguably the best Press Breaker that you'll ever find.   It breaks down the most critical success factors in beating trapping pressure which many coaches may know, but may not fully understand how critical to their team's success in beating pressure.   Coach Monahan will provide you a nine page layout of exactly how to teach and beat any and all Trapping Presses. 

Chapter 11 - defines (4) unique presses and press rotations to better optimize your talent.  Likewise, the JUMP-TRAP-TRACE Drill is possibly the best teaching drill that is high-intensity involving a many players at the same time while teaching the best techniques for applying pressure.   There are so many "little things" taught in this JUMP-TRAP-TRACE Drill that will make a "HUGE" difference in the effectiveness or your pressing strategies.
