These are three videos of some defensive drills used by
Florida's Billy Donovan.

 

The first is one that I really like working on guarding
a helpside vertical interchange and then having to 
become a helper.  It is something that I have always
worked on in our shell sequence, but like how he
isolates two players.

 

The middle video is a closeout and conditioner.

 

The third drill is 1 on 1 and 2 on 2 working on
defending on ball screens.

You do not need to purchase anything to see the drills.

 

Make sure your sound is up.

"I've read many books to help me be a more effective 

coach. The Coaching Toolbox's Practice e-Book is a must in 

any successful coach's library. This resource will remind you 

to take care of the small details that sometimes are overlooked 

in our fast paced vocation. It will be a book that you and all of 

your assistants will utilize, draw from, and reference. Most 

importantly, it will help your players be more successful."
