Scouted a bunch of college and high school games today.

Good guards jump stop in the paint-unless they can get to the rim before the shot blocker or the help arrives. Have seen way too many charges and turnovers jumping off one foot in the paint over my time. Play off two!

If you want to play college basketball, you should first make sure that you really love basketball.

The worst advice I got as a young player was to not lift because it “messes up your shot.”

Some of the best advice I give players today is to get in the weight room & lift - basketball is only getting more physical and if you can’t handle the physicality, you can’t play

Brad Stevens’ formula for winning
🍀Take care of the basketball
🍀Dominate defensively
🍀Take great shots no matter the shot clock time
🍀Dominate effort plays

[Anthony Pugh @Anthony_Pugh2]

2 foot finishes allows you to be more under control, gives you more options & better balance

1 foot finishes allows you to be quick off the floor, fit in tight places & throw off shot blockers timing

Time and place for both!

[Coach Mac 🏀 @BballCoachMac]

Shooters:

You should know if you're going to catch and shoot before you receive the pass.

Don't catch and then decide or it will be too late.

It may be as simple as 3 positions now… you’re either a ball-handler, a wing or a big.”

This is a great listen - the advice on expectation setting with role players is brilliant 🙌🏼

[Anthony Pugh @Anthony_Pugh2]

Not much better than competing during workouts

Who wants/cares to win?
Who is okay with losing a shooting drill?
Who can handle adversity?
Who wants to challenge themselves?
Who is confident?
Who is applying concepts worked on previously in the workout?

Competing is revealing

[PGC Basketball - Point Guard College @PGCbasketball]

Part of becoming a great defender is wanting to be a great defender.

[Bob Starkey @CoachBobStarkey]

Coaches search out these players…love these players…find playing time for them…everyone doesn’t have to be a home run hitter for a team to be successful.
