🏀SITUATIONAL STRATEGY🧠

DOWN 2 – Baseline Out of Bounds w/1-2 seconds left

✔️Give your team a play with options for a layup, a lob, & a three point shot

✔️This puts pressure on the defense as you to try & tie OR go for the win to avoid overtime

[Coach Dave Love | NBA Shooting Coach @CoachDaveLove]

Coaches:

Headed into your pre-season, one of the most valuable things a HS coach can do for their team shooting development is break players up into different groups.

1) the players that are very good shooters already

These players can focus on more game-like practice.

One of our favorite defensive drills. We love this drill too because it includes ball handling and passing

Train how the game is played!

Most ball-handling drills don’t prepare players for the pressure they’ll actually face

“Quicksand” forces the ball handler to protect the ball, absorb contact, stay composed and escape pressure against live defenders

If your offense struggles - this might be exactly what you need.

Post sealing is becoming a lost art

[Steve Dagostino @DagsBasketball]

Seeing more of this from teams where they start in bunched spacing then slip/screen/sprint to space - so effective because the defense is not set in normal gap/help positions

[Buckets Basketball @BucketsBball_]

Iowa with a great way to punish switching defenses

Horns - Rip Slip

Iowa ran this play 2 times in a row and scored both possessions

[Matt Hackenberg @CoachHackGO]

Backdoor the Iverson cut

High quality execution/timing

[Defensive Love @DefensiveLove]

Ball handling greatly matters in basketball! 20-30 mins a day is a game changer for development

[Dustin Aubert @dustinaubert]

MUST ADD ACTION

OKC “Double Iverson”

[Coach Liam Flynn @coachliamflynn]

A key teaching point for Pick and Roll (PNR) play is getting your "hips on the hoop" before the screen arrives. See this clip for more details.

South Aussie players who want to get better at playing out of the PNR, register for our upcoming CLF Basketball camps. PNR will be a big focus!

I don't want our littles to battle too much vs the post up, I want them to be slippery and try to eliminate it.

Yes jam and disrupt early positioning. But once you're in the trenches, quickness > strength.

🏀 5 OUT DRIVE & SPACE | SUMMER POSSESSIONS 🌊

Freedom Within Structure ⚖️

Provide Players With A/B & Sometimes C Options With & Without The Ball 🔑

Too Much Freedom 🟰 Isolated & Disconnected

Too Much Structure 🟰 Stifles Creativity

“We have a saying that everyone’s role is different, but everyone’s status is the same. It’s a reminder that no matter how bright the spotlight gets, we are all part of something much larger than ourselves.” - Jay Wright

What a tremendous way to put role definition

[Coach Tony Miller @tonywmiller]

Late clock play? Here’s one for 4 or less seconds. Options to the rim or kick to shooters if help comes (a good screen by 5 is 🔑)

[Mike Jagacki @Mike_Jagacki]

The crossover slide is a foundational tool for a defender in recovery.

[Mike Jagacki @Mike_Jagacki]

The best defenders are playing chess, not checkers...
