Straight from an NBA Championship coach!

We have "stretched the mind" of Boston Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla who has been a member of our Basketball Immersion community.

We are proud of our 10-year legacy of sharing the game for coaches at all levels.

Wasn't very familiar but impressed with William & Mary coach Brian Earl. Spoke heavy on passing, unselfishness.

William & Mary top 10 in D1 in assist % the past 2 years. Also top 10 in average possession length. Surprise coming from Pete Carrill product, but interesting for sure

"The most powerful coaching move might be doing less."

Players need space to figure things out. Awkward moments, mistakes, and confusion aren’t failures—they’re where learning happens.

Sometimes the best coaching is coaching less.

[Chris Oliver @BBallImmersion]

Do you use Touch action as a ball screen coverage solution?

Touch and release into space like a short roll.

😍 👀 Awesome play design manipulating the space available for ultimately a 2-player pitch and play weak side handoff.

[Chris Oliver @BBallImmersion]

William & Mary @WMTribeMBB Brian Earl learned from Pete Carril & Bill Carmody… then built a fast, up-tempo program that still balances tradition and innovation.

Backdoors, spacing, pressure, player-led decisions & a fresh take on shooting development.
