I was first introduced to his system while at Prince George H.S. as a defensive coordinator and performance coach. I still use it to this day. Coach Baskett’s system is the epitome of my philosophy to coach simple and play fast. His program is designed to perfection and I learned using it that you follow it or it will fail. Nothing compares to it on the market today. I highly recommend it for every program.
