@anymanfitness Lovely for her but what if she didn’t want to devote her life to volleyball for an entire year and just wanted to play a—wait, what’s that word again?—a GAME alongside friends? We don’t ask 7th graders to drop their lives to be in chess club or to try a climbing class.&im an AD.

(and yes I can pay for coaching positions! I have 3-5 teams per year to work with)

NYC coaches! I’ve been working on an innovative, games-based approach to teaching MIDDLE SCHOOL basketball. I oversee the program at a small west village school and am looking for creative coaches to collaborate with.

@JarvMakesMusic Then I guess I liked you 3 years ago. Send me a shirt!! ♥️

[todd rosenthal @3sBasketball]

@JoeyBurton Yeah that’s not a reverse pivot.

[todd rosenthal @3sBasketball]

@jasonllevin Yes

[todd rosenthal @3sBasketball]

@wes19c @TheHoopHerald Incorrect. He jumps off his right foot but his left remains his pivot all the way through.

[todd rosenthal @3sBasketball]

@CoachAntG rules?

[todd rosenthal @3sBasketball]

@AlexJSarama Do you play that when you’re knocked out you are out of the game? My issue with that is that the best players get the most practice, right?

[todd rosenthal @3sBasketball]

@tonywmiller Love it, but why does the offense need to go around opp cone? Takes away the advantage that the drill so elegantly creates.

[todd rosenthal @3sBasketball]

@JohnCarrier42 I’ve always wondered about a youth/middle school offense—not just inbounds plays— that was built around partners. Kind of reminds me of Blocker-Mover offense. Does anyone shape their offense around anything like this?

[todd rosenthal @3sBasketball]

@TessaRDavis Keep

[todd rosenthal @3sBasketball]

@CoachAntG What if the box was a triangle of cones with the point at the top?

[todd rosenthal @3sBasketball]

@brianmccormick @CoachHarris33 @Mathiasthe13th @oldmaninthegym So don’t do mikan?

@MPEngelhaupt @AlexJSarama @BBallImmersion (Part 2)

[todd rosenthal @3sBasketball]

@MPEngelhaupt @AlexJSarama @BBallImmersion Pass and Cut 1v1 Drill: D1 passes to O2 who passes to O3. O2 then CUTS. D1 must touch 3-pt line (or any other spot or cone you want) before guarding O2, who receives pass from O3 to score. Play with spot where D must touch, depending on skill level.

[todd rosenthal @3sBasketball]

@BBallImmersion @MPEngelhaupt Yes— I try to run every drill out of an action of our offense. So since we run read and react, I might work on these drives off the fill catch where the defender needs to touch a spot to create the kind of advantage I want.

@SarahKSilverman Went to drink a beer but I was already drunk.
