Great opening night in the NEPSAC on our home floor. Thanks to all of the coaches that came out + all of the support from our spectators who make us the hardest prep school gym to play in. 8-0.

It was always only ever about the kids. There was nothing you could do for Yags besides ending up where you belonged. He had to offer the only thing any of us could ever ask for—unconditional honesty. Thank you so much for pushing the game forward.

Time for me to say—Jackson is significantly more talented & significantly more productive than many many scholarship guards @ both DI and DII programs. Consistency and output are both there. Don’t overthink.

Always liked the slow -> fast for the wider-framed guys for the heightened chance it gives them to fully cut the primary earlier on. Think it encompasses advantage creation as a whole whereas settling up sometimes limits to self-creation.
Collier uses pace to set up his physicality in a unique way. Usually bulkier creators (Luka, Brunson, etc) leverage their strength by playing fast to slow & Collier wants to play slow to fast so he can brush aside smaller POAs when he gets partial advantage w/ his explosion.

I learned in the most objective way transitioning from international development to prep hoops that raw production was massively undervalued in the landscape of assigning value. In the best instances—impact & ceiling intersect—but they certainly don’t have to (Cont.)
Yep people overvalue aesthetics and undervalue production
Also people weigh skills a player has by how cool the skill looks

u can do absolutely anything u please w/out any exclusions as long as u maintain the legal ability to take another dribble. Ignore everything that happens no matter what it seems like optically until hand placement takes away drib options. See this stuff a lot.

Gapare has the hips, coordination, frame, burst, + anticipation to rlly be diversely impactful on ~b o t h~ ends of the floor. Production may come to fruition on one side of the ball before the other—but loaded with backend potential on the offensive side just the same
Very impressed with New Zealand sophomore Tafara Gapare's defence in Georgia Tech's opener against GA Southern.
At 6'9, Gapare effectively stuck with ball-handlers on the perimeter, whilst blocking shots at the rim and on close-outs.

Large issue with portal/NIL climate is miseval. 1 year statistical sample size means close to nothing in a vacuum—a lot of dudes r moderate usage rotational connectors and theres a real reason. Many guys climbing r on backend of their traj. That jump/bump is far from guaranteed

I think the overarching % is less telling than the relationship of volume to
diversity of attempts. Anyone ~40+% on standstill C&S gives productive backside gravity—but elite means venturing into the wide wide wide umbrella of movement 3s.
What 3PT percentage constitutes an elite three-point shooter?

Landing on 2 aftr penetration is simply a safety net—a buffer period for processing. Concurrently—dont mistake this for utopian advantage—which is first-step and live dribble creation. Good defense is out of gaps the second a ballhandler picks up on 2—nullifying any chance @ tilt

Highly worth tracking Ben throughout the year. Substantial progress every day as he acclimates to this pace. Phenomenal neuromuscular coordination @ his size. Touch, feet, fluidity are there. 7’ 260.

, impressed with the growth in downhill mentality from 24 6'8 Tyler Betsey. Liked the flashes of upside from newcomers 25 6'8 London Jemison & 24 6'4 Izaiah Pasha. German 7' Ben Defty is one to keep an eye on developmentally.
Syracuse & Albany were in the house.

CT kid that the region has let slip thru the cracks. He can go. Certainly has my recommendation. Glad to see this type of talent in a Solebury jersey.
Makhai Anderson 6'6, 2025, 3.1,GPA of soleburry needs recognition.He can jump out the gym,has a great handle on the ball,he can shoot the ball from three and mid range,and is a great finisher.He will be entering his junior season. I would keep my eye on Makhai this season!

Sorry 2 quote same acc on back2back days—but pls recognize the staggered base & patterned landing of feet on level change. Big mistake in development is a split stance in drop with both feet touching down simultaneously—damages ability to load& shift weight laterally. Good stuff.
Footwork Breakdown 🏀👇
One of my favorite things to do is run through footwork options near the elbow / FT line
1. Drop -> Pullback dribble foot switch -> 1 dribble speed stop up & under
2. Drop and Pull

Important in grassroots development to recognize there is a ++ misconception on what movements r appropriate or overwhelming to teach @ youth levels. Implementing directional/pace/level changes as early as possible is the only way to maximize neuromuscular growth.
DONT HOLD THE YOUTH BACK 🏀
Are these “advanced” movements or can these be considered fundamental?
1. Turn dribbles / retreats
2. Shuffle steps
3. Hip rotation
4. Pocket pull
5. Drop
6. Cross drag
7. Foot switch
8. Speed stop pull-up
That’s a lot of skill building in 1 rep 👀

I don’t think any action that hands out this much chance to shrink the floor in gaps and prevent creation without real rotation should cause this much trouble.
The Marquette empty side ball screen is the early season leader in the clubhouse for the toughest action to guard in the country

Marginal matchup disadvantages r going to be lived w in an effort to minimize rotations. Isolating exchange actions as a 2v2 scenario is often going to b a better bet than dealing w creation against major floor tilts. (Cont.)
“Switching” defense has been made popular. It works with proper personnel or late in clock. However switching to switch is always exploited by a team that is connected and prepared because of practice and experience.
ISO ball vs switch ain’t the answer

It is evident in instances even all the way up to HM+ talent that some ceilings of fluidity are unmovable beyond a certain age/point. What you do from 8-13 carries massive weight in the landscape of long term development.

Think outside-the-box thinking yields interest. Think it can be successful against creation-limited bigs in instances. Also think offense needs to ask the simple question: how can we get this to the point where it pivots into a hedge consistently?
@MBoen5
One of the most unique pick and roll coverages comes from Stephen F. Austin who aggressively denies screeners from making contact, allowing the ball handler’s defender to guard straight up. It also puts the screen defender in perfect position to jump the ball or hard hedge.

layered offensive movements ≠ layered defensive reactions. Think ab creating a confusing intersection tht requires overlapping processing decisions. want people defensively in a situation to concurrently agree on 2 responses. 2ppl/1 read is less productive than 3ppl/2reads
@abovethebreak3
!!-Think people dont realize the real leverage u can scheme pulling space with minimal movement. Much more digestible for a team to learn than layered actions and continuities. Can do 200 things. Tilts the floor in seconds. Hate the climate of floppy/doubles/pins/loops for 30 sec

@abovethebreak3
like it—esp. bc Ive been exploring the idea of ghosters / horizontal slips planting into a quick comeback : ie the screener in a zoom exiting early and then receiving a comeback pin from the handoff guy. Or in this case a slip/ghost to corner and veer from 2nd drag guy

@mikegrib8
I’m saying that I’m prioritizing something like feel (as u state) as opposed to some of the traditional worries others in ur thread presented - ie lack of burst translating to volume creation or shooting motion being less trustworthy optically than the actual outcome.

Yes — exactly. Ball handler needs to just create productive space going away from the action before the come back.

As a developer — it’s so easy to disregard “the now” and submit to a distant possibility down the road— a challenge of mine consistently. Being part of a program has 100% helped me recognize these goals often diverge

Still— iso ball is not the way to maximize penalizing a switch—plenty to do in the realm of releasing out of exchanges early—really difficult for 2v2 defense to concurrently handle an early exit—and even w no direct benefit (slip ->entry->shot->basket)—forcing a high plug (cont.)

I certainly started off massively overvaluing inherent traits like neuromuscular coordination/fluidity — but what If it doesn’t translate to creation value? Physical makeup + burst — but may not translate to rim creation or defensive adv. (cont.)
