Pick-and-roll defense and contesting shots and rebounding are emphasized in two-player drill situations.
Team drills include the Three Man Weave, Speed Shooting, 4:15 Shooting, 3-on-3 Rebounding vs Pads and a Transition Build-Up drill. Coach Hoiberg stresses spacing and being shot ready, which has helped Iowa State become one of the nation's highest scoring and best three-point shooting teams.

Fred Hoiberg provides an extensive look into the Iowa State transition offense system. Using detailed markerboard diagrams, he takes you through mid-season practice sessions that focus on a simple primary break and secondary actions. Along with his extensive diagrams, he gives a special glimpse into his playbook of which some of these options have not even been put into their offense yet. Key points include an emphasis on spacing, opening lanes for playmakers and being in position to force the defense to make decisions. The primary break and secondary actions are drilled on court in 5-on-0 and 5-on-5 situations.
Coach Hoiberg begins by illustrating his primary break, showing the spots that floor wings and posts need to fill to create good spacing. He explains how big men create space by running the floor and how players should react to middle and baseline drives.
Next, Coach Hoiberg shows three secondary actions involving drag screens, a double stagger screen and pin down screen. He includes two quick hitters that take advantage of aggressive defenses to get good looks at the rim.
Coach Hoiberg also covers a late-game situation inbounds play to get a three-point look for your best shooter or an easy lay-up for your post. He runs his players work through an on-court, game-like drill to help players get good looks at the basket even though they're leading.
Finally, Coach Hoiberg shares two out-of-bounds plays and talks about his philosophy of sectioning his season practice into three distinct segments and how each segment is used. Tailoring his offense to the personnel he has is also discussed.
With Coach Hoiberg's transition offense, your teams will be able to run a well-spaced, disciplined fast break that will leave defenses out of position and always one step behind the offense.

In this dynamic presentation featuring five live practices, Fred Hoiberg focuses on defensive concepts that help his team shut down their opponent's offense.
He explains his transition defense philosophy, including who is sent to rebound offensively, who gets back on defense and how he builds a wall to take away key scoring areas on the floor. Coach Hoiberg illustrates several drills on the whiteboard and demonstrates the Line Transition drill on court.
Coach Hoiberg explains how he uses 3-on-3 drills to improve defensive skills to guard ball screens and dribble hand-offs. Each drill focuses on important details like hand position, staying active and communication. Drills are diagramed and demonstrated on court.
The presentation also includes a segment on defending the post with undersized players. Coach Hoiberg shares key points on how to force post players into turnovers by using high, active hands and taking away baseline moves to force post moves to the middle of the floor.
Coach Hoiberg's offers an in-depth look at his unique NBA-style of defending ball screens to keep them on one side of the floor using weak side help and rotation. Different calls are used to communicate how the defense plays the screens. Two drills for defending ball screens are shown.
Finally, everything is put together in Coach Hoiberg's "Down-Back-Stop" drill. In this full-court game simulation between two teams, players start with the ball on one end of the floor and play the offensive possession. They transition down to the other end on defense, come back on offense and stop. Between each Down-Back-Stop drill players huddle with a coach to discuss the previous repetition and the emphasis of the next rep.
This video will help the undersized team prepare for opponents, learn to defend the ball, defend screens, create turnovers in the post and stop teams in transition.

Take the opportunity to watch Fred Hoiberg put his players through an off-season shooting workout utilizing drills from some the NBA's all-time best shooters - Larry Bird, Chris Mullin, Reggie Miller and others. These strategies helped Coach Hoiberg become the leading 3-point percentage shooter in the NBA in 2005. Now he uses them with his own team.
Coach Hoiberg begins with warm-up drills for shooters that emphasize footwork, balance and finishing every shot. The workout continues with 10 more shooting drills that have conditioning elements, game-like shooting for situations like coming off screens, transition shooting, finishing at the rim and shooting off the catch.
After each drill has been completed, Coach Hoiberg's shooters complete a round of threes: Players make two three-pointers from five different spots on the floor (corner, wing, top, wing, corner) and then come back around making one three-pointer at each spot. After the round of threes, players must make five free throws to continue to the next drill.
Coach Hoiberg's is a firm believer that players are made better in the off-season. With enough time and effort, these drills will create the muscle memory and mental toughness to turn your athletes in top shooters.
