COACHES TAKE NOTES. Phil Jackson was a GREAT coach BECAUSE he knew his players/how to manage personalities. He has extremely high EQ. Good X’s & O’s but his EQ is his strength. Most coaches think it’s about basketball. ITS NOT. RELATE to your players 2 maximize their abilities.

COACHES/TRAINERS👀👀 Can we stop boxing young players in by telling them the “Right” way to finish. There is no “right” way, there are multiple ways. Develop kids with the ability to jump off the effective foot, not the “correct” foot.
PLAYERS/COACHES: This is one of my FAVORITE HANDLE/CONDITIONING segments. Focuses on rips/change of direction/defense. I’m a huge advocate of enhancing skill while enhancing endurance. Try this as a condition series!!

Coaches/Trainers ✍🏻✍🏻 PLEASE STOP telling players to pound the basketball when shooting a 1-2 PULL-UP . On paper this makes sense, but its actually slower. The ball comes up too quickly and it throws your timing off because your feet are not in a position to shoot.
Players🎒🎒Here’s a warmup to help you work on your controlled fadeaway. Notice the lateral separation from the single leg replacement. Try these out!

COACHES/Bigs‼️: Try flipping the DHO if guard is denied. Too many bigs go to the next pass option and rarely create better angles by putting the ball down for a few dribbles.
PLAYERS: Master this skip step when getting into the paint. Great pause moment that allows you to make the correct kick out or get into a Floater/Lob. Peek fakes are crucial!!

Misdirection work 👀👇
Incorporate misdirection jabs off the dribble. You see Ja Morant using his cross jab a ton.
Mixing it up with different dribble actions and combos is FUN and can make you shiftier.
Try this finish drill to start and build on it.

College has been robbing individuals for years. Technology has caught up and Covid has expedited it… There’s nothing for these schools to teach anymore… do we expect admissions to remain the same? Lol 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
ATTN GUARDS: If you’re a “high level” HS player and you have a flaw in your shot.. FIX IT, SEEK HELP... There’s players this year that have gone from Zero to lottery picks, and players out of lottery picks because of it.
🔥🏀 Want to be faster on the court? Try catching in a split stance! 🤯
When you catch the ball in a split stance, your body is already in a position to move quickly in any direction. Instead of catching the ball and then having to take a step to get into a good position.

🎒🎒Game Scenarios SPNR ball screen refusal. ✍🏻✍🏻✍🏻Coming off the screen letting the on-ball defender know the screen is coming is a great action to force the defender to “take action”. Typically they’ll look or change their stance giving you an attack angle.
Very hard time watching the
@espn
Wichita V Memphis game. I can’t listen to a Commentator that constantly degrades the 18/19 year old players n throws his arbitrary ideologies about why the players suck every other possession. Those 18/19 year olds are the reason he’s working 🤯
FOR ALL HOOPERS‼️ Use language to maximize your teammates in game efficiency. Speak in a positive tone during mistakes>your teammates will perform better! Do not dwell on their problem, focus on the next solution. Difference between a W and a L at times!
Wanna see a BAD coach? Look at the sideline when their player makes a mistake. A BAD coach is overly animated based off of emotions/insecurity. Makes a scene to show everyone it’s the PLAYERS fault. It’s a compete lack of emotional intelligence.
Studying a ton of HS/College games this season. Questioning if coaches understand Child Development?? Coaches should understand their players and manage personalities. Everyone’s DIFFERENT! If you want the most out of your players, start understanding the psychology behind them.
PLAYERS‼️‼️Utilize this stop cut action to get open/put yourself in threat position... too many players catch the ball with momentum in the wrong direction, allowing the defender to jam them.

Shooting Footwork Keys 👀👇
A 1-2 vs a Foot Replacement is determined by the timing of the pass 📝. Trainers 🗣️ Remember; what you know as a teacher is NOT always what the player needs to know as a player. Teaching them what you know through feel is 🔑 less thinking more feeling
The REAL GAME. Playing off the catch is the majority of the game. Players should have these simple traits to be effective and get easy ones. Part of our moving without the ball online course we cover cuts relocations and spacing

FOOTWORK IS KEY 👀👇
Your footwork is going to help you beat defenders. You can have the best handle on the planet, but if your feet can't take you to where the ball is going, it is going to be difficult to get past your defender.

Using the dribble hold to keep defenders at bay while you're reading the court is an ELITE level skill. Highly athletic and/or high skilled athletes can blow by defenders, but ELITE level hoopers control the game.

SHOOTING MISTAKE‼️ The correction “more legs” is a blanket statement. Players rarely miss shots because of the power from their legs. coaches and trainers continue make this correction. Shooting is timing and flow. “more legs” = bad timing=less power
PLAYERS📝🔑. Active off hand during SPNR. Disengage the defenders off hand engagement when they jump to ICE the SPNR. This disengagement allows you to attack freely downhill and draws help quicker because the on ball defenders slightly trailing.

Instead of hacking down on ball try swiping up. This not only gives you a better chance at popping the ball up out of the offense’s hands, but also keeps you on balance and in a good guarding stance.
No one is discussing the fact that a COLLEGE DIPLOMA Is no longer an asset (unless it’s a specialty). The NCAA finally stopped robbing Student athletes, but when college admissions are drastically lower/millennials don’t send their kids to college, what happens to the University?
