BETTER BASKETBALL

Each of the 42 situations begins with the passer's point of view, so that you can see the exact same thing you're going to see in a real game!

In other words, you'll get a full speed, realistic view of the defense and your teammates, so that you can visualize the situation, and therefore be prepared for it when you see it in a real game. It's a phenomenal way to learn!

After the player's view (above) you'll see the situation from various angles (one of which is to the left). Coach Torbett will explain when to make the pass, where to aim, the mechanics of the pass, how to read and avoid the defense, and more!

Here, we see a backdoor developing. A computer generated arrow helps to emphasize the key point.

Throughout Better Passing, Mike adds additional concepts or techniques to Coach Torbett's award-winning instruction. Bibby's Thoughts are the perfect way to learn advanced and unique techniques from one of basketball's smartest players. Here, Mike explains his move, while players demonstrate it!

Better Basketball proves its devotion to doing whatever it takes to give you the best way to learn by providing two different views of the same situation. In the bottom left clip, you're seeing the situation develop from afar, so you can see why the player on the opposite wing is left open. In the clip on the top right, you're getting a close-up view of the mechanics of an incredibly difficult pass. What pass is the player making? Buy the DVD and find out.

Here, we see the player's view in the fourth situation of this, the fourth chapter. Player views are the perfect way for you to visualize what the situation is going to look like in a real game. It's perhaps the most powerful aspect of Better Passing.

Here, we see a player that has caught the ball in the post, and been double teamed from the opposite wing. Coach Torbett is explaining how to read the trapping defender so that you know where to pass. And of course he's explaining what pass to make to the open shooter on the wing. An arrow is helping to illustrate the techniques.

Again, we see the player's view at the beginning of a situation. You're in the post, and your teammate on the wing makes a backdoor basket cut. Better Passing explains what pass to make, and even how to ensure your defender doesn't leave you to stop your cutting teammate as the pass is made.

In this clip, we see Coach Torbett explaining how to step through a double team and break a press. The principles discussed (such as looking opposite, and how to secure the ball as you step through) are incredibly useful whether you're breaking a press or simply trapped in the corner.

Here, we see a player getting ready to make an outlet pass. You also probably noticed the big red question mark. A question mark pops up for about a second over each situation, and coach gives you a chance to consider what the best pass is for the situation. It's a great learning tool, as you can "test" yourself as you watch Better Passing, and re-test yourself again and again!

The techniques Mike gives throughout the video are such a bonus for Better Passing. Perhaps the smartest player in basketball today, this 6"1 guard has made his name not on high flying dunks and lighting quick legs, but on outsmarting his opponent. Here, he discusses dishing on the break!

Here we see a female player using the ideal method to easily turn a 2 on 1 into two points. Basically, this technique simplifies the process so that the player can execute a lay-up or pass as soon as the defense commits. What's the technique? You'll have to order the video to find out!

Here, Coach Torbett breaks down the different types of no-look passes. A split screen is used, so that you can compare the two versions. Coach explains when and why to use each type of no-look, and even discusses when to forget the no-look and just make a quick, accurate pass.

The European 3 may be the single hardest play in basketball to defend. We're starting to even see pro teams even in the United States using it not only for 3 pointers, but to create mismatches through switches.

Coach Torbett breaks down every aspect of the European 3, including the best technique to get the ball to your teammate. Is this a pass, a flip, or a handoff? And how should you position your body to ensure you become not only a passer, but also a screener? Buy Better Passing to find out!

Follow the leader is a fun way to improve your passing skills, although duplicating Mike Bibby's moves wasn't easy for Coach Torbett, who hasn't played competitively in over 20 years! Here, Mike quickly circled a leg and made a left handed flick to the coach.

Some of the drills in chapter 9 require two balls or more. This really improves your skills, because you don't have time to think. Basketball is a game of instinct, and two ball passing cuts down your thinking time, and builds up your reaction time and instinctive abilities!

Better Basketball's #1 goal is to help players who truly want to improve their game, and this chapter lives up to that motif. There's no wasted time on this video with anything other than techniques to help you improve your game, and that includes this chapter. Here, Mike discusses what he does after feeding the post to ensure proper spacing!

Year after year, Mike averages about 20 ppg and 7 apg. How does a 6"1 guy without great hops become an offensive juggernaut?

The answer is that Mike has an incredible understanding of the game of basketball, is fundamentally sound, and he knows when to use each of his moves. Here, he breaks down his favorite move out of triple threat!
