"The Defense Your Opponents Will Hate!"

We're really excited to release this video set because it shares the secrets behind the best zone defense we have ever seen...

We're lucky because we live in Iowa near Al Marshall, who runs the absolute best zone defense we have seen anywhere. In fact, we hated playing against it! And I personally know many other coaches that hate playing against it too.

When my brother Joe played high school basketball, he HATED playing against Al Marshall's 2-3 zone because he knew it was going to be a LONG night and his team would struggle to make shots.

As coaches, we all hated playing against it. All the Haefners (Jeff, Dennis, and Joe) and all the coaches we know would say the same thing... "We have to play Cascade, I hate playing those guys. How are we going to get points??!!"

Sure we played against other zones. But nobody played it like him. I mean nobody came even close.

We never understood how Coach Marshall did it until now. Every time you played him, you never had easy shots against that zone. All your players would start rushing shots. And even when they did get open looks, the pressure was on because the shooter knew they might not get another open look for a long time. And as a result, they would usually miss. Even our good shooters just seemed to miss against them.

That's just how it was when you played Cascade.

That is why we called it the, "The Defense Your Opponents Will Hate". Because it's true. They will hate it.

Impressive Track Record

Coach Al Marshall has done pretty impressive things over the years...

• Led Iowa 7 years straight in lowest points allowed per game.
• 738 career wins at the high school level.
• Ranked 3rd for all-time wins in the state of Iowa.
• 45 years of coaching experience.
• 42 district and conference championships.

We're excited that we finally convinced him to share his secrets with us.

Comprehensive Guide to Shutting Down Any Team

In this video set, Coach Marshall reveals all the secrets to his unique 2-3 zone defense. You learn all the drills, slides, tactics, concepts, adjustments, and everything you need to implement the defense yourself.

Unlike most videos which glaze over the surface, we have included everything you need to implement this defense with your team. It's almost 2 hours long and neatly organized for you to jump to the sections you need.

The Equalizer - Now You Can Compete with and Often Beat Teams that are Better Than You

This zone defense is very unique in the way it forces teams to take hurried jump shots, keeps them off the free throw line, and takes away everything easy.

It's simple and frankly genius in the way he only emphasizes a few simple concepts in both games and practices. You will learn how to do the same thing.

It works with any talent level - good or bad. This video set will teach how to run a zone defense the right way and the adjustments that Al Marshall made to make it extremely successful for him.

Proven to Work

The Al Marshall 2-3 Zone is a proven system that works at the high school level. This is NOT theory. Coach Marshall has led the state of Iowa for the past 6 years in a row for the lowest allowed field goal average. They set a school record by holding their opponents to an average of 31.9 PPG for the season!

When you buy other videos from college coaches and you try to implement their strategies at the high school level, they don't always work. The high school game is different. That is another reason why we are excited to announce this video for high school coaches. It is a proven system to work extremely well at the high school level. You learn exactly what to do.

This is NOT a Lazy Defense

This is not one of those defenses where players just sit back with their hands up. It's an aggressive defense that is played the right way. Players need to work and it's tough!

Attention YOUTH Coaches

If you are a youth coach working with players between the ages of 6 and 13, here's our take on how this applies to you...

We adamantly believe that youth coaches should run man to man defense so their players can develop better foot speed and coordination (not to mention many other reasons). HOWEVER, if you are an experienced youth coach that faces zone defenses, we think Al Marshall's 2-3 Zone video will help you. It will help you by teaching you how to effectively run a good zone defense so you can learn how to play against it. It's impossible to run an effective zone offense without understanding the defense. And as Coach Marshall shows common zone offenses and set plays, you will get ideas on how to improve your zone offense. So even though it's a defensive video, we believe it will help certain coaches improve their zone offense.

Now if you're an inexperienced youth coach, we believe you're better served by holding off on this particular product and instead getting products like Bob Bigelow's Coaching Youth Basketball the RIGHT WAY, Coaching Middle School Basketball the RIGHT WAY, or 60 Fun Youth Basketball Drills.

Who Should Consider This Video Set?

This video is for any coach working with high school, college, or pro players. The primary target is the high school coach - both boys and girls. But we think college and pro coaches will pick up some good ideas too.

Doesn't matter which category you fit into...

• Are you looking for a secret weapon?
• Do you have lots of talent?
• Do you have NO talent?
• Do you have average talent?

If you answered yes to any of those questions, then this video set is a good fit for you. It is extremely effective with any talent level -- big kids, slow kids, fast kids, short kids. In high school you just never know what you'll get so the system is designed so that the talent doesn't matter.

Even "Man to Man" Coaches Will Benefit from This

Are you a man to man defense coach? Believe it or not, you will still benefit from this video...

In fact, I am personally a man-to-man defense coach, but I have picked up drills and concepts that I can apply to man to man and improve our defense. It also makes it easy for me to incorporate a really GOOD zone as a secondary defense, if I need to.

You can implement this as your primary defense or as a secondary defense. We think all high school coaches will benefit from this video.
