“Great guards reject 50% of ball screens, and are LOOKING to reject 100% of the time”

Rejecting ball screens can be a very difficult action to defend, as PNR coverages are typically drilled with the expectation that ball-handlers will actually use their screens every time.

[Jordan Carter @CoachBurgundy]

Against conventional basketball wisdom/beliefs, we play on the baseline a lot in our offense.

One concept that we’ve gotten good mileage & results out of is the dive from the opposite 45 on our baseline drives.

When done correctly, it’s an extremely difficult action to defend.

[Jordan Carter @CoachBurgundy]

My last word on this special group of guys.

Congratulations to Jack Bakken for being named 2nd-Team All-League!

Jack led the entire Continental League in assists (6.4 per game + tied our school record of 13 in one game), with a 3:1 AST/TO ratio.

Though he was our PG, he also led us in rebounding, and was 2nd in steals.

The on-demand replay of the Ranch/RJ game is now available on NFHS. Amazing game. Somehow I missed it on the first viewing, but the display by the RJ student section after the buzzer beater is a shameful example of poor sportsmanship.

[Jordan Carter @CoachBurgundy]

We returned less than 5 ppg from last year’s team, after losing our lone returning starter and another projected starter to injuries in the preseason. Played 15 road games, went 17-7, almost made it to the Coliseum. Never been so proud.

Thank you guys, for everything. Love you.

I’m at 18 years of this and I will tell anyone that will actually listen to me, if your kid could play for any coach, it should be @RanchHoops Jordan Carter. He’s 30, wins everywhere he goes, loves his players,they love him, and he works as many hours as anyone. @CoachBurgundy

Colorado Collective 2023 G Jack Bakken plays with strength and physicality, getting downhill and scoring at the rim. Active defender that forces turnovers on the ball.
