Episode 346: Coach Mike Hilmer (The Relentless Pressure Defensive System‪)‬ Championship Vision Basketball Podcast

Let me briefly introduce you to Coach Mike Hilmer.

Coach Hilmer has been the head varsity boys coach at North Linn HS for the past 25 years.

He created his Relentless Pressure System which involves Run, Jump, and Trapping philosophy. And over the past 9 years has had unprecedented success with it, including:


7 Straight State Finals Appearances


3 State Titles


National High School Coach Of The Year Finalist 2019


5 Time State Coach Of The Year



It hasn't always been this way for Coach Hilmer. Before he began using his pressure system, his teams were right around .500

In fact, for the first 16 years as the Varsity Head Coach his teams:


Averaged less than 50 ppg


Averaged 12+ TO per game



For the last 9 years since installing his Relentless Pressure System his teams:


Scored 80+ ppg


Average less than 8 TO pg


Increased FG % from 41% to 56%


Led the state in scoring average 5 years, and were runner up twice


Defensively they led the state twice in fewest points allowed and every year have been in the top10 for fewest points allowed



Yes... you read that right! He led the state in offense AND defense
