Amazing praise from some championship coaches

“I have admired Tobin as a coach and person, and have always loved watching his teams compete. Our conversations and the knowledge he has shared has made me a better coach and I know his pressing system and ideas will help other coaches as well.”
Fran McCaffery | Head Coach, University of Iowa
“Tobin is one of the best coaches at the DII level. His teams are always very prepared, disciplined and creative. They play with great energy which takes teams out of what they want to do”. 
Ben McCollum | Head Coach, Northwest Missouri State
“We always know that Tobin’s teams are going to bring it on every possession and play as hard as anyone we will play all year. His players are 100% all in on his pressure system and we know being able to handle their defensive pressure will be invaluable for us the rest of the year.”
Joe Gallo | Head Coach, Merrimack College
“Tobin Anderson is a great teacher of the game and no one teaches the press any better.  He relates to players at a high-level and can teach the details that make the difference. On top of that he’s a great person who you want your own child to play for. He has it all, expert coach, great teacher and great person.”  
Joe Wooten | Coach and Athletic Director,  Bishop O'Connell High School
“This year, I decided to implement Tobin’s pressing defense system, I went to his practices to figure out the intricacies of the press. It has been instrumental in our success, as we have been turning teams over nearly 25 times a game, and it has helped our offense as we have attempted 12+ more field goals per game. I love coaching the press and more importantly, our guys love playing in this system.”
Tyler Simms | Head Coach, Clark University
"Playing against Tobin Anderson’s defense is worse than a trip to the dentist. It puts tremendous stress on your team every possession. Oftentimes you’re just happy to have gotten the ball across half-court and your team doesn’t have the ability to execute properly in the half-court. There is a cumulative physical and psychological toll on the opponent.“
Dave Paulsen | Former College Coach

Tobin Anderson is currently the head coach of Iona University. Most famously, Anderson led the 2022-23 FDU squad to a 21-16 overall record and 10-6 in Northeast Conference play. The Knights earned the NEC's automatic bid and earned two wins in this year's NCAA Tournament, a First Four win over Texas Southern and the first-round win over the Boilermakers. It was just the second-ever win for a No. 16 seed over a No. 1 seed in tournament history. The year before Anderson's arrival, the Knights posted a 4-22 record.

This video series was recorded with his St Thomas Aquinas team. Tobin Anderson took over St. Thomas Aquinas College, a school that won five, eight and five games the previous three years before his arrival, and turned the program into a national powerhouse. Tobin Anderson’s St Thomas teams won 15 games his first year, followed by 20+ wins every year after his first, including 25+ wins each of the last 5 years.

Coach Anderson is a master coach, especially when teaching and implementing his pressure defense system. His teams press every day, on every make, on every dead ball...and on every missed shot as well.

What makes this pressing system video bundle different from the rest?

Coach Tobin Anderson does a masterful job in presenting the philosophy and techniques behind having a highly effective defensive pressure team.

Defensive pressure is a key element of success at the highest levels.  Defensive pressure feeds directly into offense and is a key in generating easy baskets for your team. Intense defensive pressure has helped St. Thomas Aquinas consistently rank among the top offensive teams in the country.

These videos show you how to implement a high intensity, player-led pressure defense. By empowering players to make decisions on defense, some key benefits that accrue to the defensive side of the ball include:

check_box
Your defense is harder to scout because it is random and based on player reads.
check_box
Your defense is hard to practice for. Most teams will have difficulty replicating the consistent, high level of pressure your defense is able to maintain.
check_box
More focus on pressure defense means you can impose your defensive will on teams.  You force them to play faster and at a speed they are not accustomed to.
check_box
Easy buckets help improve your team’s offensive efficiency.

Basketball is a game of runs. One of the specific goals of Tobin Anderson’s high-pressure defense is to create runs for your team. Against good teams, that may mean a 6-0 run. Against other teams, this defense can lead to 10-point runs or more.  How good can your team be if you are consistently gaining a scoring advantage by creating mini-runs throughout the game?

The high level of defensive pressure, fast pace, and a high-scoring offense that this system generates makes for teams that are exciting to watch and gyms that are a nightmare for opposing teams to play in.

Learn how you can help make your team better on offense, better on defense and more fun to watch with this comprehensive video series from Tobin Anderson.

Video #3 - 3-on-2 Chaser and 5-on-5 Press Situations

Intensity of practice ramps up as the players get into more 5-on-5 situations.  Using dynamic starts and disadvantaged starts, Coach Anderson drills many of the different situations that players will see out of the press.  There is constant teaching and returning to principles such as “you can’t get split at the front of the press” and “reading eyes and shoulders.”

At the same time the defense is being drilled, the offense is learning how to cope with high pressure defense. Both sides of the ball get better as relentless pressure helps improve offensive decision-making.  There’s never any question about whether the offense is operating at ‘game speed’ as the pace is kept at a constant high pitch.

Throughout the practice, Coach Anderson reinforces and loops back to connect specific actions and game situations that arise to the overall concepts behind the defense.

Practice starts with Coach Anderson showing his 3-on-2 with a Chaser Drill. This drill is used to emphasize both transition offense and their pressure defensive system. The rest of practice is then spent on various 5-on-5 situations to work on their pressure defensive system. You will see how Coach Anderson simply uses game situations that occur the most often to build his 5-on-5 situations.

Coaches will also find value in seeing how Coach Anderson communicates with his players in a direct and effective way. Even when playing 5-on-5, Coach Anderson uses his coaching stoppages and interventions in order to emphasize what he is teaching at the present moment.
