Have a shooter?

Steph Curry and Golden State always show us a way to get them open.
Flip screen + Forced curl = 🪄

Pistol 5 into ‘Peja’ Action
​
Simple. Clean. Hard to guard.
​
Great flow from transition into half-court offense while creating multiple decision points for the defense.
​
🏀 Pistol entry
🏀 Screening action
🏀 Shooting + driving options
​
The best offenses make defenses guard 2–3 things at once.
​
Big props to @sbill30 for the video/breakdown. Must follow if you love basketball X’s & O’s. 🎥⬇️

Coaches: it’s not too early to start adding to your playbook for next season. Was watching @DukeMBB vs. @umichbball. Here is a great “Need a 3” play for late in the game from Dusty May.

Coaching is a continuous cycle of learning and teaching - you grow by staying a student, even as you become the example others follow.

“Defense is 20% now...10 years ago it was 60–40 defense. Now it’s 80–20 offense.”

[Chris Oliver @BBallImmersion]

Check out some advanced progression of BDT where a player must scan, decide, and act.

Instead of predetermined footwork or scripted shots, the drill forces adaptability: reading a defender’s hands, reacting to space, and making decisions off the dribble.

Thanks to COE Women's coach Mel Downer for presenting a clinic for @basketballwaofficial coaches tonight at Willeton Basketball Stadium as part of the BA Under 14
National Club Championships. 40+ coaches took the opportunity to learn about Constraints Led Approach coaching.

[Basketball Australia Coaches @BBALLAU_Coaches]

Great opportunity for all our WA based coaches to hear from @basketballauscoe Women’s Head Coach Mel Downer on a topic that will be relevant and valuable to coaches of all levels! Register through the BA LMS EtrainU events calendar for free!

[Talking Split @TalkingSplit]

The defence isn't allowed to leave their cone until the offence has made it to the other.
Things to focus on here is the footwork to try and get balance, to get the last dribble out in front of them to get distance from the D, and be able to pick the ball up quickly

🧠 The best coaches teach athletes not to need them. When you shift from providing solutions to setting problems, you develop independent leaders who can coach themselves under pressure.
