Next Possession Basketball

Next Possession Basketball exists to help players and coaches think the game better—one possession at a time. Run by current Division I coaches

[Next Possession Basketball @NextPossessionX]

Basketball is decided one possession at a time.

Not by highlight plays.
Not by rankings.
Not by noise.

It’s decided by decisions, habits, and preparation.

Next Possession Basketball exists to help players and coaches think the game better—one possession at a time.

Watching portal film this time of year always brings coaches back to the same things.

Not the highlights, the basics:

Communication
Effort
Decision-making

That’s what carries over. That’s what shows winners.

It’s transfer season. Coaches and players both need to know.

OFFENSE gets you in the door.

DEFENSE keeps you on the floor!

Takes a special player to do both. How will you separate yourself?

This is a dude who’s taken his team on the road to face mid-major teams. Pretty cool perspective!

"The only mid-major schools we turn down are ones that aren't good enough... Some of the mid-major schools that we're talking about not being able to find games played multiple non-D1 games. I'm not sure how hard you tried if you're playing 3 non-D1 games."

4. Ensure you are home at a decent hour. The ones who stand out are the ones who allow their staff to be present in personal life.

5. Paralysis by analysis is real. They have conviction in the work they do, their staff does and their players do. That’s builds belief and trust.

[Next Possession Basketball @NextPossessionX]

The best certainly are those who:

1. Are the same people through adversity and through success.

2. Understand the human element of our jobs. Treat everyone with respect no matter if they can help them or not.

3. Allow their assistants to do their job and trust their opinions.

[Coaching Carousel @TheCoachCaro]

Who do you think are the worst Head Coaches to work for?

Factors to think about:

1. Want you to always be in the office
2. Don’t care how much time you spend with your family
3. Are control freaks
4. Talk to their staff like they have no worth
5. W’s and L’s dictate mood

Playing hard isn’t loud.

It’s consistent.

[Next Possession Basketball @NextPossessionX]

A lot of players think playing hard is one big play.

A steal.
A block.
A highlight.

That’s not how it shows up on film.

Offensively, it’s:
•Spacing properly
•Being shot-ready
•Cutting and finishing your cut

Conference games don’t expose effort.

They expose habits.

[Next Possession Basketball @NextPossessionX]

Non-conference lets you survive mistakes.

Conference play doesn’t.

The margin shrinks.

Understanding scheme.
Knowing the difference between a good shot and a great one.
Those decide possessions.
