COACHING
PHILOSOPHY
CORE VALUES
1. Contest Everything Defensively
Closeouts are Key | Contest Everything at the Rim
2. Sprint The Floor Relentlessly
Offense or Defense: Transition Effort | Beat Opponent Down The Floor
3. Having a "Next Play" Mentality
Good or Bad, Previous Play is Over | Don't Get Caught in Moment
OFFENSE
1. Score Early in Transition or Late in Halfcourt
Shots between 8-17 seconds on shotclock lose games
2. Put Players in Positions to Make Plays
Plays + Sets to put players in areas they can use their skillset
3. Reads + Off-Ball Movement > Sets/Continuity
Create a variety of looks for opponents to prepare for
DEFENSE
1. High Hands + Closeout on All Catches
No easy shots, drives, or pass on ball reversals
2. Limit Rotations
1 on 1 Defense is Key | Stunt in gaps until primary recovers
3. Keep Everything in Front
Load the box with Packline principles
4. Take Charges
Most deflating play in basketball for offenses
