The Butler Defense Drill - A Great TEAM Drill For Getting Players To Defend Instinctually... And Without Hesitation!
Here's a great drill from Coach Schultz's How to Run Championship Practices to get your players comfortable playing defense at a disadvantage. @CedarFallsHoops
It's called the Butler Drill... This is a game-like drill that Coach Ryan Schultz (2x Iowa State Champion) uses in his practice every day.
Coach Schultz loves the Butler Drill because it hits on three of the core concepts of his defense...
- Playing defense instinctually, and without hesitation
- Finding the next threat
- Guarding as a team... not as individuals

Team Culture is Fragile.
It takes daily attention.
Here are 10 things that can HURT a Team Culture
Drip by Drip.
1: Showing up Late
Being late tells your team that ME > WE. This is a dangerous place to go. Respect your teammates time. Respect your coaches time. Be on time.
2: Skipping Reps
Every rep creates a habit. Skipping reps is how you get worse as a player. This is how you get worse as a team. This is a culture killer.
3: Not Holding others Accountable
All teams need leaders. If leaders donβt hold others accountable. The team culture loses. The team loses.
4: Bad Body Language
Body Language screams. Want to destroy a culture. Bring negative energy with bad body language.
5: Taking Plays Off
Can I Trust you as my teammate? Not if you take plays off. If you play when you want to play. You will kill your culture.
6: Complaining about your Role
Not happy at about your role? Want to hurt the team? Complain about your role. This will eat away at your culture and hurt your team.
7: Bad Mouthing your Teammates
Easy way to hurt your team and kill your culture. Talk bad about your teammates. It will eat at your culture every time.
8: Sloppy Practices
Sloppy practices = sloppy games. They create bad habits. They eat away at culture. Mediocrity follows.
9: Not focused on Details
Details win games. Not focusing on details loses games. Skip details and impact your culture.
10: No Eye Contact
Tells the coach you donβt care. Tells your teammates you donβt care. Tells the team it is all about you. Note: there are some cultures where this is accepted. Know your players.
