Iowa has so many options out of this Horns/Chin series

Could watch them develop all day

This is why they are playing their best offense at the end of the year - It keeps evolving

🏀 Drills to Start Practice

[Chris Steed @csteed]

Brad Stevens is the most COMPLETE basketball mind on the planet. Culture, tactical/technical, innovation, relationships, etc .

BS teaching POST DEFENSE:

- straddle the hip

- high hand denial

- get low/leverage on the ball reversal

- on the catch get wide/high hands, give 1 dribble and chest up

Details like these translated into a top 3 defense YOY throughout his tenure in Boston, REGARDLESS OF PERSONNEL.

This particular segment was demonstrated nightly by guys like Horford, Aaron Baynes, Daniel Theis, Marcus Smart, @thekidet , and the list goes on. 👇

** Note the leverage work on the reversal, too many bigs GIVE space on the swing pass instead of FIGHTING FOR SPACE w/low leverage. So important against teams that work the block well **

ICYMI This week’s newsletter: Button Hook Rescreen.

Short roll. Turn back uphill. Make the coverage big change direction twice.

How this rescreen helps the screener arrive alone, creates a flatter second-screen angle, & stresses Hedge & Plug.

This is bullshit — we went thru all the scenarios for how the Philly signing could play out on Friday’s pod good and bad. I thought Yahoo was trying to be a real place? Don’t you guys pay respectable writers and podcasters to do content? But you also do fake clickbait crap?

The ability to get the ball secured in traffic is a critical skill.

Check out this high pickup breakdown.

[Steve Jones @stevejones20]

Well alright Paige Bueckers

[Reid Ouse @reidouse]

One of the most common mistakes shooters make is that they slow down their shot in an effort to aim.

Get your palm to the rim and let it rip.
