This is a great example of using analytics to inform your principles of play. As you can see, the longer it is in the shot clock, the lower the field goal percentage. As a coach, you have to ask yourself, “How do I slow the other team down?” And... one of the ways you can do this is by tagging up on a shot attempt. Tagging up: offensive players will crash the glass by “tagging” the player closest to them. This allows the offense, which is going to defense, to match up already. This slows down transition offenses by “choking” the ball and making it more difficult for players to throw outlet passes. It will also slow the other team’s offense down if they rely on one player to initiate their offense. 🎥/🎬: NBAshow more

Perfect 1v1 Drill For Finding Your LOCKDOWN Defenders! Coach LoGalbo takes you through a drill that is perfect for finding your lockdown defenders that you can rely on when the lights turn on. As Nick LoGalbo says, it's a great way to find your "Rambo" which is a defender that you can rely on to defend your opponent’s best ball handler in the full court. And, an added offensive benefit to this drill, is that it allows for offensive players to work on their ball handling in the face of defensive pressure! This 1 on 1 Contain Drill is from Nick LoGalbo's Outer Third Defense (No Middle Defense). That's why the goal of this basketball drill is to force the opponent's primary ball handlers to the outer thirds of the basketball court (and out of the middle!) as soon as they catch the ball. By doing this, it allows the defense to dictate the entry pass to one side of the floor. By keeping the ball on the outer third of the basketball court, you can overload the backside of the defense which helps control the opponents passing lanes, deters easy passes and helps eliminate the dribble drive. You can incorporate this drill every other day in practice to re-emphasize to your defenders the importance of keeping the ball handlers out of the middle of the basketball court. Instructions and Keys to the 1 on 1 Contain Drill: - Give the ball handler a cushion. This makes it easier to contain them in the outer thirds. - Chest and contest a crossover to the middle. You do not turn your body. You must beat the offensive player to the spot and turn them back to the outer thirds. - If you get beat, you sprint ahead of the ball. You do not continue shuffling. - Keep the ball in the outer thirds the entire length of the court. It does not stop after the offensive player gets past half court. - The goal of the drill is to simply keep the ball handler in the outer thirds. - The defense should focus on beating the ball to the spot and chest to contest defense. - As soon as the first group gets to halfcourt, the second group begins. - After a group makes it all the way to the opposite baseline, they switch positions and get in line to repeat the drill going the opposite direction. Coaching Tips - Once a player gets chest to contest, they must spring back to get in front of the ball. Your goal is not to be running side by side. You must get in front of the offensive player. This prevents the offensive player from getting an angle to the basket. - After running through the drill for a specified amount of time, switch directions so the offensive players must focus on using both hands as their primary dribbling hand. - It is important to mix up players rather than like positions always competing against each other, so that players get used to guarding a wide variety of positions. It forces the players to adjust defensively regarding speed and skill. - Another positive of this drill is it gives you the ability to assess who your Rambo is: players who can work the point guard up the floor.

Texas A&M HC Mike Elko - Building Defensive IQ for Winning Situational Football "It starts to me with you have to develop football 101 in your defense. You've got to take a step back & you've got to build some level of general football knowledge in your defensive unit. It's sometimes the things that can save you when you don't call the perfect defense/scheme. Down & Distance Understanding... 2nd & 7+ - We have won 1st down... The offense is now trying to get themselves back in favorable positions for 3rd down. Here the battle is for half the yardage. - Offensively you will see a lot of RPOs, Quick Game, Screen & Draw. This is not a down where you will see a lot of high risk types of offensive plays. - Defensively we play this down & distance like a 3rd down off 1/2 the yardage... (2nd & 8 is like 3rd & 4, 2nd & 14 is like 3rd & 7) 2nd & 4-6 - We have lost 1st down. Now we must make a play on 2nd down to try to re-create an advantage for 3rd down. Success on this down is similar to 1st & 10. We are looking to hold them to 3 or less. - This is a down where the offense usually sticks to their strengths. Again, they are looking for a low risk play that will keep the chains moving forward. - For us we call this D&D no different than 1st down. 2nd & 1-3 (Waste) - Thus for the offense is known as a waste down. This is a D&D where the offense is likely to take a deep shot because they are in a favorable position for 3rd down. - Offenses will try double moves & max protection shot plays a lot on this D&D - For us on defense, this is a big zone pressure down. Gives us a chance to create a negative play and regain the advantage on the sticks. Also closes the middle of the field to protect us on the shot plays.

ARE 1 ON 0 WORKOUTS THE BEST WAY TO TRAIN? I moved away from 1 on 0 workouts a long time ago. They are great if the player has a specific technical need. It allows you to slow down and dive deep with the player. Other than that… multi player workouts are exponentially more productive and beneficial for the players. This allows them to still work on technical skill, but it allows you to put them in an environment where they have to read multiple players on the court- exactly how the game will be. Add in the fact that it forces players to compete and it’s a no brainer!

The key to installing a PBO is to keep the main thing the main thing. Explain to your players the most important principles of play and continuously emphasize them throughout the season. These principles will become a constraint or a guide that will get their attention and intentions. Players will self-organize with tasks (constraints) and if you allow them to complete these tasks, you will see them playing great team offense. You don’t need to explain every last detail, just get them started with the basics of shot selection, spacing, ball movement, creating advantages with matchups or 2-man game, and off-ball picking. Using constraints like an 8-9 second shot clock on a side will get them to flip the field. Or, if you’re not picking off-ball it’s a turnover. Or if you hang out on the crease it’s a turnover. These are simple ways to get your team to play incredible and unpredictable team offense. Obviously, installing a PBO in one minute isn’t going to be a time constraint for your average coach, but the point of this reel is you would be amazed at how well your team will play when you take off the reigns and focus on the principles. Throughout the season there will be glaring strengths and weaknesses that you will have to address, but again, use constraints to do the teaching and keep the focus on the Principles.

This is the Basketball Rondo passing drill. We have this in the activities library. (Download more games like this here➡️ This is a great game for passing under pressure. Four players are in a small space, like you see in the video, with three defenders. The defense has to get a steal in order to go on offense. The offense has to make 10 passes in a row to win the game. Coaches can change the space the players operate in, adjust the number of players in the game, and even combine their principles of play into it. For example, you could apply “zero-second decisions,” where players must pass immediately upon catching it, or it’s a turnover.

"All the numbers say, the more you crash, the more you slow people down." "Let them [role players] know this is how you can help impact the game. & it slows up the transition cause you're kind of stopping the ball." Nate Tibbetts with me today on the why behind the new crash principles (tagging up) that he's establishing, some of the challenges in habit that come with it, & how he sees it playing out for them. Analysis: Phoenix was 9th in oreb% last season (29.0), gaining possessions in tandem with the frequency they took possessions away from teams (4th in dTOV rate — 18.9%) Intent on possessions would shift their game process, which I imagine is a top priority.

COACHES: This is another HUGE pet peeve of mine. Players trying to do it all themselves and making a potential rush opportunity into a 1v1. The higher the level you play, the less likely a player will beat a defender 1v1. Especially on the rush. I see so many kids try to do it themselves - and if the kid is talented enough at the younger ages it potentially may work out. But as players advance to higher and higher levels, you rarely see anybody try to beat a defender 1v1. And even more rarely do you see anybody actually beat a defender 1v1. I see so many coaches rewarding kids at the younger ages for taking the puck from one end of the ice to the other and scoring. While it's great that a number goes on the scoreboard, you are doing a disservice to the kid's development. Because if that kid doesn't learn the value of passing and using their teammates, at some point this clip is going to happen to them. A LOT. And that player will eventually get passed by the kids that learned to play the right way with their teammates. On this clip the ANA player tries to do it all himself and the puck goes the other way and eventually ends up in the back of his net. It's hard enough to beat one person 1v1 in high level hockey, let alone skating the puck through multiple defenders. So coaches, please emphasize the value of using your teammates. I see this type of play SO OFTEN in youth hockey. Passing, hockey sense, playing with your head up, using your teammates...these skills translate to the next levels. Doing it yourself, even if it works as a young player, does not.

WE NEED PASSES THAT DON’T MATTER My college coach used to say this all the time. We need passes that connect our offense, and build rhythm. If every player tries to make a play on every catch, the momentum of the ball stops. A simple way every player can help their offense is by consciously making an effort to keep the ball moving and make ‘passes that don’t matter’ You’ll get the ball back, I promise!!

This 2v1 shooting game by Dusty May simulates a slot-to-slot pass in early offense. This works on your decision-making in the 2v1 situation. This is a common advantage in basketball. You can see the rim is always protected, so players have to find a ROB (range, open, balance) shot from behind the three-point line. The game encourages this. This 2v1 game teaches players to play with Domino’s principles, such as zero-second decisions, where players have to shoot, drive, or pass in less than one second to hunt ROB silver medal shots — corner catch-and-shoot 3s. What are other ways coaches can constrain this game to work on different principles?

COACHES: Here's a power play tactic I'd love to see more teams employ. Carolina has a player below the goal line on the opposite side you usually see. This allows him the ability to skate toward the net with the puck on his forehand ready to make a play. In this clip he finds the bumper player for the goal. If there's no play he can skate it around the net to find the bumper or look for other options like a player coming down the dot line or a cross-crease pass to a player sliding down to the back door. Great job by Ehlers and something to think about for your PP set up!!

If you make this one tweak to your offense I think you’ll score more goals! The vast majority of offenses have a crease guy mirroring the dodge, popping behind the dodger when he takes the alley, and cycling under when he dodges topside. I love mirrors, they’re a great action, but the problem with mirrors is that the slider can oftentimes hedge and crowd the dodger, and recover back to their guy. This problem is magnified when the on-ball defender picks up soft, there’s even less space for the dodger. Also mirroring every time is predictable! Why would you want the defense to know exactly where your crease guy is going? A simple adjustment that every offense should have in the mix is to have your crease guy change it up and “Float” out to the back side, leaving his hedging crease sliding defender guarding nobody and making the recovery much more difficult. And when you float the crease out, you can have another midfielder “Follow” across the top to be the outlet behind the ball and get into a shooting spot. As the coach, you don’t have to call out these looks from the sideline, simply let your crease guy mix it up on his own, sometimes he can mirror the dodge, and other times he can float out the back. Then have the crease guy communicate to the other mid to follow or float. The recovery for these two looks is very different and this variability will make your offense much harder to guard! Furthermore, because the recovery is so much more challenging, re-dodge spacing when the crease floats out is better. I guarantee you will love this look!

After Victors block on Jimmy with 32 seconds left, Spurs were up 1. If you dribble the ball out to suck time off the clock, you’re doing the defense a favor because 1: the D is set and you’re allow them to rest. —- gearing up for a final possession to win. 2: You’re going to get off a rushed /bad shot by starting the action late in the clock. I hate this decision by Fox. Go for the throat and push in semi transition off the block shot. Start the offense early in the clock to be sure you get a great shot and go for the damn throat. I can understand it if there’s 24-26 seconds left in the game after you secure possession but not when there’s 8-9 second difference in shot clock & game clock. Live and learn. Lost by 3. Lost by 1.

Ike Reese says the defense deserves its share of the blame in the Eagles’ loss to the 49ers. “I love Coach Fangio, but when you take a 19–17 lead, you need a stop. You can’t let them march down the field. If we were going to rely on the defense to carry this team, then they have to come through. You can’t just blame the offense.”

This is called Padding. And it’s one of the fastest ways to expand your defensive awareness. I recently used it with a player who was struggling to see the floor defensively. The shift was immediate. I also used it early in my coaching career too — and it completely fast-tracked my coaching eye. Here’s how it works: You watch the same possession five times. Each time, you trace the exact path of one player. Go slow. Pause it. Rewind it. Get it precise. Down to the angle, the placement, be exact. Then rewind it and do the next player. After you’ve padded all five players, something strange happens. When you watch it the sixth time… you suddenly see everything. The shot at the end isn’t surprising anymore. It’s inevitable. You see the spacing. You see the screens. You see the timing. All the small details that go unnoticed on a single watch become obvious. This is how you train awareness. By forcing the brain to process more. Players start seeing the game differently. Coaches start seeing all five players at once. And that’s one of the hardest skills in basketball — especially on defense: awareness. If you want the full breakdown of defensive awareness, check it out here:

This is called Padding. And it’s one of the fastest ways to expand your defensive awareness. I recently used it with a player who was struggling to see the floor defensively. The shift was immediate. I also used it early in my coaching career too — and it completely fast-tracked my coaching eye. Here’s how it works: You watch the same possession five times. Each time, you trace the exact path of one player. Go slow. Pause it. Rewind it. Get it precise. Down to the angle, the placement, be exact. Then rewind it and do the next player.

Watching Team USA play… One of the biggest complaints of NBA basketball is the overdribbling, and isolation basketball. Team USA is setting a great example for American basketball players to follow. Find high quality shots by ADVANCING THE BASKETBALL, BALL MOVEMENT (reversals), and PLAYER MOVEMENT (cuts / screens / spacing). When winning is the priority, the winning players sacrifice and play selfless for what’s best for the team. It’s cool to see our best players doing this and let’s highlight it and make sure our College, HS, and Youth Players see it as well!!
