Zeljko Obradovic is WIDELY regarded as one of, if not the greatest offensive mind ever. Greg Popovich is directly quoted as saying ‘I steal ALOT of plays from him.’ So many staples in today’s game were being ran by Obradovic 10 + years ago. He teaches very conceptually within a structured system. This is an awesome example of the endless counters involved with Zeljko ran teams in the half court. 👇🏼 Partizan Floppy | UCLA | Slice Flex | Baseline Stagger The BasketHead

‼️ Concepts that KILL IN HS ‼️ Iverson from dead ball actions > Iverson from live ball actions. Pace and tag removal are much easier from SLOB scenarios, in my opinion. 👇🏼 Magrath Zeniths SLOB Iverson Curl | Empty

‼️ Concepts that KILL IN HS ‼️ Pistol is one of base continuities. A simple ‘exit’ from the weakside creates an empty curl on this 3 man action. 👇🏼 Magrath Zeniths Pistol | Exit

PLAYERS SHOULDN'T DREAD HALF TIME OR TIMEOUTS. We teach children that timeouts are safe, and we encourage adults to take breaks. The DATA says this should be the same for athletes. You CAN steal points during TOs, but not if they sound like this: 'The other team just wants it more.' 'Get your ass back on D.' 'Do you guys actually believe this team is better than you guys?' Break huddle. COMPOSED- get the players off of the emotional rollercoaster through your body language. ACTIONABLE- 1-3 actions or solutions that need to be addressed with a CLEAR HOW. PREPARED- game cards with solutions for different outcomes and scouts are critical. SIMPLE- 8-9 seconds is the average attention span. We are adding physical and mental stress to that in game. VALUE with fewer words is important. POSITIVE- this is hard. We've all been there. But research shows that athletes at every level respond to positivity exponentially more than negativity. JOY IS A COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE. Joe Mazulla has mastered this. 👇🏼 NBA

‼️ MUST ADD FOR PRACTICE ‼️ Olympic style 3x3 is quickly becoming one of the best 'SSGs' for overall development. It's really fast paced, and every possession is played with a ton of purpose. Players play with maximum spacing, build endurance WITH THE BALL and, if done properly, SHOT QUALITY is the games' biggest emphasis. In the Olympics 👇🏼 The analytics behind the actions they deploy are much different than standard 5 on 5, as well. Shooting 25% from 3 is the equivalent of 50% from 2 so there is a HEAVY emphasis on making and defending the 3. This means there is a ton of switching and coverage solutions/counters to switching defenses with NO TAG AT THE HOOP. The game translates BEAUTIFULLY to 5 on 5. 3x3 rules are a simple constraint to make and defend the 3 ball at a much higher level using '3 man' actions. IMO, a must add to our 5 on 5 teams.

A big shift in college basketball: STAY OUT OF ROTATION AT ALL COSTS. Contested shooting % in the paint is a bigger advantage for the defense, than it is the offense when the alternative is a long closeout. In the event teams guard a ball screen with 3, instead of 2, the tag and rotation is short and extremely crisp in most cases. To counter this, offenses have gone into heavy 'EMPTY BELOW THE NAIL' looks to stretch the tag. UC Irvine uses a goalie in the key, 'whips' off ball screening actions and lock and trail all perimeter threats. They also stay home (packline gaps) beautifully on penetration. This allows them to rebound at a high level as well. 👇🏼

FLAT GHOST Simple and EXTREMELY effective. This is a STAPLE of Daigneault that I love. We call it ‘flat’. - screen is below the 3PT line with butt to the baseline - typically used in inverted or G2G actions - punishes a switch - great end of clock/end of game when switching is assumed - usually forces the D to put 2 on the ball, creating a 2 on 1 on the weakside Common mistakes: - setting the screen to high, pulling the pop out of range. Must be set ~ around the nail. - killing the dribble due to pressure Adding a 45 cut to this action really stretches the D and beats virtually any coverage. 🎥 Taylor Tucker

🚨 Coaching Hack 🚨 Taking common actions and turning them into SLOB/BLOBs is an extremely effective way to disguise them. - During a scout, teams will typically split live ball offense and SLOB/BLOBs. - Very easy to start in a pseudo spacing template - Help will typically be in 1 pass away formation Conversely, taking your best SLOB/BLOBs and turning them into live ball actions accomplishes the EXACT same thing. This is a simple tactical strategy to steal 6 + points a game. The incredibly popular 'Iverson Curl' used as a SLOB. 👇🏼 🎥 Coach Rio

Your offense is defined by your TRANSITION philosophy, not by your HALF COURT strategy. When mapping your offensive structure for your team, break it down into this FLOW: Primary > Secondary> Half Court > EOC Most coaches spend the majority of their tactical work on half court offense. 🛑 Your primary and secondary transition systems create the best shot quality AND equate to the highest offensive ceiling (for most teams). Once your transitional flow is established, and your PPP is in the 1.00 range, then teach TRIGGERS into your Euro BS/ Princeton/5 out/DDM. Finish the clock, ideally, with the ball in your best players hands hunting the BEST AVAILABLE SHOT. “First 8 seconds is for you, next 8 seconds is for me, and the last 8 seconds is for our best shot maker.” - Chris Oliver Suns HC Jordan Ott on early offense/possession battle 👇🏼

Jon Scheyer and games based approach to development. Most coaches have THEORETICALLY attempted to do this for years. But coaches like Jordan Ott, Kenny Atkinson, Erik Spoelstra, Daigneault, etc. are paving the way at the professional level. In 2016 I stumbled upon the Chris Oliver podcast. It opened Pandoras Box for me. I think every coach needs to go through a few paradigms shifts throughout their career to dial in what they are, and what they want to be, as coach. @hoopherald

‼️ Paradigm Shift ‼️ Basketball is played WITH the basketball 5% of the time. One of my favorites quotes from Billy Donovan is: ‘The other 95% of the time most players spend trying to get the basketball’. Players also can’t conceptualize the amount of time they have the ball in their hands in a game. They think it’s exponentially more than it actually is. The ball is glorified, and rightfully so, but what are we doing with the other 95%? Do be ELITE REQUIRES impacting the game without the basketball. The video below is a MUST WATCH for all players and coaches 👇 🎥 Chicago Bulls

From an ANALYTICS perspective, shooting out of the post is actually very inefficient. BUT Passing out of the post is one of the most efficient actions in half court basketball. Memphis uses split action, as false motion, to create a layup. *** Must add for any level *** Memphis Grizzlies Punch | Split | 1-5 Cross 🎥 John Leonzo

‼️ The PACERS are bludgeoning the Cavs with this tonight ‼️ Rick Carlisle TWO SIDE spacing in transition: - Positionless (outside of Hali) - Corners occupied - Emphasis on inbound after a make (clap backs) - Rim Runner - First 3 steps are everything (Race, read, race Chris Oliver) - Secondary transition is typically Pistol; occasionally a delay - Hali seams the tunnel or the sideline equally well on the outlet Indiana INCREASED their PPP in the post season (on ~ the same volume), leading to Joe Mazulla saying the Pacers were their toughest out in last years playoffs. For LOWER LEVELS: Pace is more enjoyable for players, tougher to scout, increased possessions, shot quality increases.

One of the most transcendent lessons that Steve Nash left on the game. This was the well known ‘touches’ study. Steve Nash gave 239 high fives, fist bumps and pats on the back in the first game this was tracked. - “he was a furnace of human connection” - “it has been physiologically proven you can transfer energy to another human being through physical touch” GET THOSE TOUCHES UP 🎥 Alan Stein, Jr.

‘I don’t see how it (the Triangle offense) could work now’. - Pistol Early Offense is the TRIANGLE - Low-Post Splits & Squeeze is the TRIANGLE - Spread Offense to 2-Man game is the TRIANGLE - Blind Pig Pressure Release/Pinch Post is the TRIANGLE The Pistol is on full display in the Finals and owns the 3rd best O rating in NBA history (23/24 Pacers). Splits = Curry and the Warriors. Spread offense/2 Man was LeBron’s (and now Luka’s) primary offense for most of his career. BP/Pinch Post is predominant in college and the NBA on a nightly basis. I think Lebron meant well in the sense that modern spacing is much more optimized. But the Triangle is an offense that has transcended eras, beginning with Tex.

‼️ Will Hardy is elite ‼️ I LOVE listening to ELITE MINDS breaking down high level concepts for the media/fans. 👇🏼 ‘2 threes in a row is loud’. ‘It warps your brain’. ‘Pick and pop over a hand…may not be the worse thing.’ Perfect, high level analysis of GRAVITY (in reference to KAT) and the effect it has on the opposing coaching staff/players.
