Once upon a time, there was a coach who convinced these three future #NBA champions to play on his basketball team for free. If you believe the story, the only things they were promised, were an education in the classroom and an education on the court. I wonder whatever happened to that coach and if he is no longer coaching, what made him stop?
‼️ THIS IS A REMINDER TO ALL HS BASKETBALL PLAYERS‼️ Summer is where you separate yourself. Stay disciplined. Get in the gym an hour a day. That’s all you need. You will separate yourself. Look at your screen time… you got an hour to spare.
Illinois just lost a game that they had 7 KILLS in. This is a massive outlier.
👇🏼
Mike Brey calls them KILLS.
Tony Bennett calls them GAPS.
Bruce Weber calls them SHUTOUTS.
Buzz Williams calls them TURKEYS.
If you're looking for a defensive stat that is arguably the most PREDICTIVE stat in basketball, it's 3 STOPS IN A ROW.
This isn't a stat you'll find on https://t.co/EgCrXMm7eT or https://t.co/VR8iz3v3fI but according to Mike Brey, who religiously tracked 3 stops in a row, win % is ~ 90% when you accomplish this 7 TIMES in a game.
Build your defense around stringing together consecutive stops. This allows for better scoring opportunities, gives you the ability to micro manage your defense during the game and most importantly provides a ton of ENERGY.
@JohnCarrier42 My favorite call of the ncaa tourney. Not a flop call. But called the flopper for the trip. Even though it costed my Hawkeyes a layup. Still love the call. Time for NFHS to get a a hold of the shooter falling down. How often did a shooter in the 80’s to 2015 crash to the floor?
