well the squat and the deadlift are both very important parts of a vertical jump program because they are both compound exercises. The deadlift is a little better then the squat as there is more involvement of the posterior chain and it works more overall muscle groups.But the use of ass to ground squats should take care of the problem. They should both be added to a program if possible as the squat is more anterior chain emphasis and the deadlift is more posterior chain emphasis but both increase all the major lowerbody muscle groups.
For sets-rep scheme keep the reps less like 6 and under and more sets. In sport training you want to work the fast twitch muscle fibers which requires you to lift as much weight as possible as fast as possible and with good form.
there are many programs you can do just create your own program
