What's new Inside the U! |
From plays and drills to special guest posts, here is the latest at The U...
Plays and Drills from The U: - Middle Clear Through Isolation Basketball Play
This is a simple set play you can run when you want to isolate a player on the wing and let him attack off the dribble-drive.
- Switch Around the Horn Inbounds Play
This baseline out of bounds play from a box set formation can be run against man-to-man or zone defenses. It is a 2-phase play that, against a man-to-man defense, will force the defenders to fight through screens. Against a zone, it will cause the defense to overshift, creating an open shot.

One of our speakers, Coach Jim Boone, recently shared some of the notes via Twitter. Below is a selection from each speaker. On a quick side note, if you're on Twitter and you're not following Coach Boone, you are really missing out. Follow him @CoachJimBoone now.
Jack Bennett -
Simplify the Game. Coaching is Teaching. The Greatest explain & breakdown complicated concepts into lessons pupils can grasp & understand.
- Be Firm in Principle but Flexible in Approach. Be smart enough to change when needed.
- GIYBALWI: Give It Your Best And Live With It, not just on game night, but in practice, wgt room, preseason, all the time!
Randy Brown -
Don't get so engrossed in the X's & O's that you lose sight of the Big Picture.
- Do your Kids know how to get in the game & what they have to do to stay in the game?
- Those who came before us, would they be proud of our sideline demeanor, how we run practice, talking to our team at half? Think about it
Dick Bennett -
When I recruited I always asked kid who was your fav teacher and your least fav teacher, I talked to both.
- Encouragers, every successful Team must have them - who is willing to give?
- Success can Poison your own Well!
- Things like movement away from the ball, passing and catching, screening off the ball...these things need to be taught !
-
You must break defense down on a daily basis and drill it constantly!
Tim Grosz - WHY MOTION OFFENSE?
- Take advantage of match-ups - mismatches
- Compete vs. Greater Talent
-
Keys to Teaching Motion Offense - PATIENCE, Be willing to give up some control & stay the course.
- Stop Practice Often & Talk Through Situations - will destroy rhythm of practice, but is key to teaching Motion Offense!
Larry McKenzie - Why are we Coaching? Not about winning and losing games, it's about creating Champions in Life!
-
Character - You may fool your coach, but you will never fool the guy in the mirror. Character is who you are when no one is watching
- As a Coach, you must teach the Basics of Basketball - Passing & Catching, Footwork, Shooting, Defensive Footwork, etc.
The above notes are merely just a highlight from the Academy. Our forthcoming DVD contains more than 6 hours of coaching expertise!! Stay tuned for more information when it is released.
