Excellent video! Coach Lorensen gives a nice, logical progression for building the pack line defense from scratch. Very useful and applicable for the high school level and junior high levels, as junior colleges face many of the same challenges as lower level programs in regards to having to teach a workable system in a short period of time. I really liked three things best about the video. First, I like the way he teaches defending slightly differently in your gap based on whether you are guarding a shooter or a driver. Secondly, I like the technique Coach Lorensen teaches for fronting the post. Finally, I like the simple switching technique that Coach Lorensen teaches for defending ball screens and dribble hand offs. Most coaches know the headache that teaching ball screen defense can be using the traditional methods of hedging, Xing, etc. Coach Lorensen greatly simplifies ball screen defense, again, based on keeping things simple due to the teaching time restrictions that junior high, high school, and junior college coaches often face. This is an outstanding DVD for coaches who are looking for a simple, concise version of the pack line that they can have up and running at a workable level in a short period of time. 5 star rating!
