Advice on Team Offense: from 'Indiana Basketball by Branch McCracken.
From time to time, I will share some basketball coaching information that goes way back! I have a lot of old basketball coaching books loaded with a ton of great information. I find it interesting to see how things have changed (or not changed) over time -- I hope you will find these articles interesting as well! I also hope you will learn something new!
From 'Indiana Basketball':
I have discovered from conducting clinics in the States, Japan, and Europe that coaches are more interested in team offense, systems, and scoring plays than in any other phase of the game. Most coaches, particularly young ones, go to coaching schools or clinics and patiently sit through the lectures and demonstrations of fundamentals, waiting for the coach to get to the discussions of plays and team offense. They seem to believe with Mr. Shakespeare that "the play's the thing." They make a big mistake. I cannot emphasize too strongly that the backbone of any system is based on well-taught, well-mastered fundamentals.
