If your team can’t close out effectively, you can’t play defensively. Greenberg takes you through everything you need to know about closing out. He starts off with proper technique, and demonstrates drills you can use to practice this critical element of the game. Greenberg then moves on to defending special situations. Greenberg shows you ways to defend curls, rover situations, triangle offenses, out of bounds plays and more. He also emphasizes the small elements that will strengthen your success by taking away cuts, extending screens and reading the dribble. Closing out and special situations are important at every level of play. If you can steal shots by defending special situations, you can steal the game.

Seth Greenberg: Multi-Entry Ramsey Offense (DVD)

Seth Greenberg: Multi-Entry Ramsey Offense (DVD)

with Seth Greenberg,
Virginia Tech Head Coach,
2008 ACC Coach of the Year

Coach Greenberg presents a creative approach to half court offensive basketball. Posting guards, running clock, spacing, cutting and back cutting are all components of his Ramsey Offense. This age-old gem comes from George Blaney’s early years at Holy Cross and has been a Greenberg favorite for many years. Greenberg favors this continuity offense because of its simplicity and endless list of scoring opportunities. Greenberg covers the 11 elements that make up the Ramsey offense half court attack, including the brush block, slips, weak side cutting and the curl cuts. Built into this offense is a weapon to counteract pressure defenses, based on moving and driving the defense. To disguise the offense, Greenberg shares sets that flow into the Ramsey movements. The Ramsey offense benefits any coach because of its easy implementation, simplicity and ball sharing features.

The Life and Times of Hank Greenberg (1999)

The Life and Times of Hank Greenberg

Amazon.com

Aviva Kempner’s Peabody Award-winning documentary is about baseball like Field of Dreams is about cornfields. Kempner efficiently covers all the bases of Detroit Tigers Hall of Famer Hank Greenberg’s magnificent career with archival footage and talking heads, including family members, former teammates and baseball legends, broadcasters and sportswriters, and such unabashed fans as Alan Dershowitz and Walter Matthau. If this biography’s style is not remarkable, its subject certainly was. Greenberg, the son of immigrant parents, was a beacon of hope to Jews. As one observer notes, baseball was a way of “showing we were as American as everybody else.” To see one of their own succeed in the national pastime at a time of virulent anti-Semitism was a source of pride and inspiration. One lifelong fan, a rabbi, states, “He was the baseball Moses.” Winner of several critics association awards for Best Documentary, this is a stirring film for all seasons. (more…)

Greenberg [Blu-ray] (2010)

Greenberg [Blu-ray]

Greenberg aims to recapture the raw flavor and psychological acuity of 1970s character portraits like Five Easy Pieces–but the character in question is completely of the moment. Neurotic and anxious Roger Greenberg (Ben Stiller) comes to L.A. to stay in his brother’s house, where he reconnects with old bandmates and falls, with painful awkwardness, into a relationship with his brother’s personal assistant, Florence Marr (Greta Gerwig, sweetheart of the “mumblecore” movement). But this movie is not about plot–it’s about human frailty and finding a moral or spiritual significance in caring for a dog or driving someone on an errand. Stiller sheds his usual bag of twitchy tricks and conveys the brittle spirit of a man defeated by his own intelligence. Gerwig has an odd, hapless charm; she makes aimlessness appealing. As a romance, the movie falters–while it’s obvious why Roger would be attracted to Florence’s youth and vulnerability, it’s less clear why Floren (more…)
