Live Regressions
I love using regressions because playing in 3 man game, 2 man game, and isos are all completely different. We use this 2v2 to 1v1 regression to have live reps without them being scripted.
The problem is not shooting three-pointers.
The problem is a societal unwillingness to modify the game to fit the needs of children: Lower hoops, smaller balls, shorter three-point line. The problem is the rush to the end.

I just don’t understand how each state hasn’t adopted a shot clock already. The shot clock is the ultimate player development tool at the grassroots/high school. The 24-second FIBA clock that is used at the lowest levels of basketball around the world is the reason players like Jokić and Dončić are such incredible decision-makers. They played with a shot clock since they were in basketball diapers.
@CoachTatum90 Depends on when it is in the season and how much you have used/trust your special teams units. Fake punt is not an option here. If you want to go for it keep you offense on field. I like the pooch punt out of FG alignment as an option in that situation if practiced.
ONE OF THE BEST LESSONS YOU CAN TEACH YOUNG PLAYERS
Not everyone gets the same amount out of an hour practice session. The players that give effort, are engaged, and bring good energy will get more out of a practice/training/game than everyone else.
Stack those days, and you will separate from others in the same amount of time!!
YOUTH ZONE
Having coached youth for a while now, playing Zone is the ultimate cheat code. Players can’t pass far enough or shoot from distance enough to effectively beat a zone. To me, it’s a waste of time playing against a zone in youth basketball. Although I do understand some coaches doing it bc it is easier to put in.
I actually like pressing man to man for portions of the game bc it makes players develop how to handle the ball and pass against pressure, as well make faster decisions
Running a 2-3 zone in youth basketball stunts defensive and offensive growth, kills the fun, builds bad habits, and doesn’t teach kids how to actually play the game.
KEEP OFF SEASON DEVELOPMENT SIMPLE
Heading in to the off season soon, we’ll see a lot of players try to get better at everything and make their development more complex than it had to be.
So much of development can be solved by focusing on shooting and playing. Within the playing focusing on ball handling (getting 2 feet in the paint), finishing, decisions and reads, guarding on ball and off ball. If you play with purpose and get your shooting reps up before or after you’ll put yourself in a great spot during the off season.
RESPONDING TO MISTAKES
"I'm letting the team down because I turned the ball over ... missed a shot ... blew a defensive assignment. No, you're letting the team down when it parlays into 4 or 5 possessions after that.
Pick yourself up... You're playing a game that's imperfect."
