“Relay Concept” vs BS Trapping Coverage.
Empty corner step-up with 3 spaced weakside. As the BS occurs, closest weakside player pulls over as the release → ball handler hits the pull man → pull man finds the slipping roller.
Coverage solution built out of a spacing template.
This is for my real hoopers:
This workout is at Kobe's old gym, Mamba Sports Academy. If that's not enough of a good sign, it's also the gym where Anthony Edwards and Tyrese Maxey hosted their pre-draft workouts. And, years before, it's where Trae Young prepped for his draft workouts.
I say all that to say, some auspicious NBA history in that gym. Good signs for Wilson, ha!
Studying the Joe Gallo Merrimack College matchup zone 📝
Guards are active with their hands to keep the ball out
Forwards play high to eliminate 3s
High post → 5 contests, forwards drop to protect rim/high-low
Corner/short corner → Opposite forward crackback rotation
Going to continue to beat this drum. If you need a GA for next year, highly recommend having a conversation with Kyle. Will live in the gym with your guys, has the ability to assist with film breakdown for the staff. Most importantly, he is a sponge and will be whatever you need!

Wing Player Development Session🏀
Heavy ball handle progressions to build strength + control. Straight line attacks vs closeouts. Finishing through contact. Movement shooting off the catch.
Player development isn’t random — it requires a clear, intentional plan. 📈
Labaron Philon film study 🎥
He controls the game with pace using his BTB speed stop to change pace, create space, and read the defense.
Then he uses timing to initiate contact on bigs, taking away their ability to jump and finishing through contact.
True 3-level scorer 📝
UConn has used middle third pin-downs flowing into Tarris Reed Jr. post ups this season.
The middle third catch makes it extremely difficult for the defense to help, especially with shooters spaced in both corners.
Advantage is created before the ball even hits the post.
Love how Duke used Cam Boozer as the handler in inverted ball screens.
Physical downhill driver as the handler + shooter as the screener will cause mismatches and constant pressure on the defense.
I’m actively looking to pursue the right GA opportunity for the 26/27 Season 📲
Brewster Academy coach Jason Smith will be joining forces with another prep school legend, John Carroll, at the brand-new Masters Academy International, sources told @thefieldof68.

Carroll won 370 games as head coach at NMH, and quickly built the Newman School into a power in the last four years.
The Masters Academy International will open in September of 2026 in Stow, Mass.
Wally Szczerbiak wanted to workout, but his trainer couldn’t because he had a clinic for elementary-aged girls.
Wally showed up and participated in the clinic with the girls.
He was an NBA All-Star.
It doesn’t matter who is in the gym. Get your reps.
