I am watching these press break videos to both improve my break methods but ALSO improve my press concepts. I started teaching presses so I could learn how to break them.. but the inverse is also true.. a good press break also helps you run your press smarter.. know what to allow.. what not.. and when to recover back to half court.
Couldn’t you argue that jumping to pass is fine as long as you have a plan as to who you’re passing to? Jumping to pass in order to get the ball over a trapper is a lot different than blindly jumping and making a decision mid jump (although Luka is really good at this and can jump while manipulating the tag defender with his eyes).
I do think there’s a time and a place for a jump pass. Like the situation you just described. Good pressing teams recover so well, and sometimes bait people to throw certain passes, so you have to be absolutely sure before you jump.
Thanks for the comment, Bryan. Obviously, watching videos on West Virginia is always a good option. I think A. W. Hamilton at Eastern Kentucky is a great one - and after that, I would go to championshipproductions.com and look at their resources. They have the best catalog of coaching instruction that’s out there. Let me know if I can help with anything else!
Hands down it's Eddie Andrist and Forrest Larson. Long time Run and Jump coaches. Both have videos out. I've seen every RJ video for sale out there are no Championship video touches those two.

Verry good thx
You’re welcome. Glad it was helpful
What coaches are the best to learn from if you want to run the run and jump yourself?
