Providence Day School head coach Brian Field has created a top-tier 4-out ball screen continuity offense that emphasizes reversals and ball screens. In this video, you'll learn how to implement Field's offense and see how it creates high-percentage scoring opportunities for your players by utilizing your guards' playmaking abilities while pulling defending post defenders away from the basket.
With seven quick-hitter plays designed to be used within the 4-out ball screen continuity offense, your players will learn how to pick & pop, pick & roll, slip screens, set flare screens, and run dribble hand-offs - all actions that are difficult to defend.
Gator Shooting
Learn the primary shooting and finishing drill used by Coach Field. He incorporates all potential shots that are taken by players when running the offense, and since the drill has multiple players getting shots up, it will lead to more reps for each player. You'll see how to run the drill on both sides of the floor with each action so you can incorporate your own philosophies into the drill.
"Inside" + Quick Hitters
Coach Field includes seven quick-hitters that can be used when running the 4-out ball screen continuity offense. With a 4-out offense, many guards will dominate the ball. However, Field has created a way to get your best post player a chance at scoring as well.
Opponents may attempt to make adjustments to guard the your ball screen continuity offense, but with several plays covered, Coach Field gives you counters for every adjustment possible.
This video will help any coach looking to implement a simple, continuous offense for their team. Field does an excellent job of explaining how pieces within the offense move together to build continuity. If you're looking for an easy-to-learn offense that provides many scoring opportunities, you will want to install Coach Field's 4-out offense!

Brian Field has put together one of the best videos on building and teaching the pack line defense! He shows the defense's primary concepts on the chalkboard before giving you a detailed on-court presentation with drills and demonstrations.
You'll see a variation of the pack line in which players force the offense to the baseline. Coach Field explains how this defense has improved his team's ability to force opponents into much tougher shots. He also details the only time he wants his players to switch, as well as the half court philosophies used with this defense that have created so much success for his teams.
Triangle
One pass away, defenders are inward and upward towards the ball. This allows your defender who's one pass away to be there against dribble penetration. As Coach Field mentions, you'll see a lot of younger players guarding too close to their defensive assignment, which slows rotations. By maintaining a triangle, your defender can get into the passing lane, be available for help, and, be close enough to close out if their assignment catches the basketball.
Forcing Baseline
Most resources explaining the pack line defense have players force the offense to the middle of the floor, which is where your help is waiting. By forcing baseline, you'll take away the offense's ability to use both sides of the floor. Coach Field shows that keeping the offense on the sideline forces them to float a pass when they skip to the weak side. By forcing a tough pass across the court, your defensive players will be in help position to jump that pass.
Brockport Drill
Coach Field's 'Brockport Drill' is like Shaka Smart's 'Ironman Drill' where players must take a charge. The difference though, is the Brockport Drill is more of a variation of the Shell Drill. Instead of one player doing multiple effort/toughness actions, Brockport uses four players who must rotate into help and on-ball defense as the ball rotates. Meanwhile, weak side helpers must cut off baseline and take a charge. This drill reinforces a toughness element while ensuring proper rotations and communication.
This video gives you a complete look at Coach Field's variation of the pack line defense, which is different than most videos on the same topic. The subtle tweaks taught in this video have proven to be effective at the high school level, meaning this is a must-watch for coaches of that age group!

Brian Field has learned from some of the best minds in high school basketball, such as Dave Price, Kipper Todd and David Carrier. Along the way, Field built a full court pressing system based on the details and philosophies from each coach. His system is one of the most chaotic full court defensive systems in today's game thanks to its ability to create traps all over the court.
In this video, you'll learn the ins and outs of how Coach Field utilizes his intimidating pressing system.
Black 1-2-1-1
In your typical 1-2-1-1 full court trapping defense, you work to speed up your opponent and force rushed shots and bad passes. In this system, Field uses this same philosophy and adds a flooding system. Once the ball is rotated to the front court and into the deep corner, the defense floods the paint in order to protect the rim from easy baskets. Field uses this system off of any made basket in the paint.
As you force your opponents to take rushed shots or turn the ball over, your team also works to create re-trapping angles and opportunities. Communication is a must for this defense!
White Run and Jump
Building on his system, Coach Field shows his man-to-man run-and-jump press. In the demonstration, he describes the element of surprise and why he doesn't use this as a typical run-and-jump press.
Once the offense turns their back at half court, Field uses his trail defender to sprint ahead and trap just after half court, only allowing a long, cross-court skip pass as an open look out of the trap. By taking away passing lanes with off-ball defenders, your team will create deflections and pressure all over the floor.
Full 2-2-1
In a more traditional approach, Field uses his 2-2-1 full court press to speed up opponents and force traps just past half court. Starting in an offset alignment to the right, he plays into his opponents' strengths and forces them up the sideline into a trap with his most athletic and long players. As the ball is moved up the floor, he also has his trapping players creep up the floor. Players learn to trust each other as they sell out once the traps occur to cover open areas.
Blue 2-3 Zone Trap
Used after a timeout or change of a quarter, Field takes advantage of a stoppage in play to change the pace. Using a packed-in style of play, guards start the trap once the ball goes below the free throw line. Your defenders will focus on trapping in the deep corner and only allowing a skip pass (that oftentimes sails into the stands!).
Pink 1-3-1
Rounding out Field's chaos pressing system is the 1-3-1 half court trap where players fly all over the floor trapping in the four corners. Field uses this trapping defense to trap in the high corners, low corners, or all over; this style of defense is used at a stoppage of play or during a timeout.
Coach Field has constructed a system that will allow your team to play up-tempo and have fun playing fast. Use it with your team this season to create more turnovers and score more points!
