Here's a small snapshot of some of the SSG's we've been using to teach our players how to play conceptually. This summer we are adding our triggers into our small sided games. 3 vs 3 and 3 vs 2 trigger starts, find the 9 or 7 with a :06 countdown mid-trigger.
🚨 Great stuff from Quin Snyder on how scouting shapes conceptual basketball.
One nugget that stood out:
Most teams switch the 1st and 3rd defender in 3-man actions.
The details matter. The best coaches think in concepts, not just plays.
Could listen to Quin talk X’s & O’s all day. 🎥 Volume ⬆️
Big props to @csteed for the clip — absolutely worth a follow.
Skill Development: 1 on 1 is a part of almost every skill workout in the off season. Lots of ways to emphasize and grow in different ways. Here are two we used last week. Again, great leadership & creativity by @sohmatsuura#GrowOurGame#Getbetter

🚨TEAM DEFENSIVE DRILL🚨
MOVING ON THE FLIGHT OF THE BALL & TALKING are 2 of the most important aspects to teach in becoming an elite defensive team.

🚨Team Shooting Drill🚨
(Warm Up Drill For Practice)
1) Set 90 Seconds on the clock
2) Team must make 25 elbow shots total
Great for enforcing shot accuracy using mindset & will power.
“Advantage 3v3 Drill” by Coach Jeff Williams
🔸Create an initial advantage to make the defense rotate
🔸Keep the ball moving and tire out the defense
Goal: Find the perfect shot as the defense gets caught in rotations
