| Point Guard Instruction | Evaluation | |||||||||||||||||
| Bob Hurley Point Guard Play | Best overall. Shows drills, recommended workouts, talks about mental and leadership aspect. Hurley has developed more great point guards than anyone. | |||||||||||||||||
| Running the Team Will Rey and Ed Schilling | Close second in the point guard instruction category. Great because it shows drills and situations from both an offensive and defensive perspective. | |||||||||||||||||
| Isiah Thomas Point Guard | Not close to the first 2 in this category for instruction and drills. Does have a few pointers and fans of Isiah Thomas (like me) will enjoy. | |||||||||||||||||
| Advanced Individual Offensive Instruction | ||||||||||||||||||
| Better Basketball 1 on 1 Offense | Great instruction. Very detailed. Commentary from players is very interesting. | |||||||||||||||||
| Fundamentals | ||||||||||||||||||
| Steve Nash Basketball Fundamentals | Great fundamental instruction primarily targeted toward elementary to junior high aged players. | |||||||||||||||||
| Pete Maravich Shooting | ||||||||||||||||||
| Pete Maravich Passing | ||||||||||||||||||
| Pete Maravich Dribbling | ||||||||||||||||||
| Pete Maravich Ball Handling | ||||||||||||||||||
| Team or Small Group Workouts | ||||||||||||||||||
| Rick Pitino Offensive Basketball | Best overall for any position. Primarily two player drills. | |||||||||||||||||
| Mark Few Perimeter Player Workout | Great offensive workout for perimeter players, primarily individual or small group drills. Great summer workout program. | |||||||||||||||||
| Geno Auriemma Player Development | Great team offensive player development workout for in season. | |||||||||||||||||
| Buddy Ball with Ed Schilling | Great ideas for two player drills. Pick several to work on each day in the off season. | |||||||||||||||||
| Individual Workouts | ||||||||||||||||||
| Mike Saylor Basketball Workout | Best overall workout addressing all skills. Very innovative with the music soundtrac and workout log. Mainly for swing players, but could be modified for smaller guards or big men. | |||||||||||||||||
| Steve Alford All American Workout | Great individual shooting workout. Primarily jump shooting workout for guards and wing players. | |||||||||||||||||
| Steve Nash 20 minute Workout | Great individual workout. Fun to watch. Variety of shots primarily targeted for guards. Very much like above workouts without the free throw breaks. | |||||||||||||||||
| Shooting Technique | ||||||||||||||||||
| Dave Hopla Shooting | Great overall. Balances detail with simple easily remember terms. Free video available on his website is even better in some ways. | |||||||||||||||||
| Dave Hopla Shooting off Dribble | Nice compliment to first video. Shows detailed instruction on footwork off dribble and screens. | |||||||||||||||||
| Rick Mount Shooting | Very good. Short but covers all aspects. | |||||||||||||||||
| Steve Alford Shooting | Very good. Focuses mainly on foot / hip alignment. | |||||||||||||||||
| Ed Palubinskas Shooting | Free with Baden basketball. Concentrates on hand / finger position throughout shot. His advice on following the flight of the ball contradicts every other shooting instruction I have seen or read. | |||||||||||||||||
| Science of Shooting | Free with Arc Angel. Arc Angel is great. Video is ok, but not up to Dave Hopla level. | |||||||||||||||||
| Swish | Wouldn't really recommend this considering other shooting videos available. Main focus is on generating power for shot through the legs which he terms "Upforce." The only shooting video that recommends not to line up square to the basket which directly contradicts others. | |||||||||||||||||
