For those of you in the offseason, keep working at your craft. Be better. Hopefully we can help you in some small way!

We have had quite a few new additions to Hoops U. since we last sent our newsletter ... check them out and enjoy!
FEATURED ARTICLE
Seven Cardinal Principles of Offensive Play​
Offensive Play
Though first published in 1957, these principles are quite applicable in today’s game. For more plays and coaching concepts from Adolph Rupp, be sure to visit the Hoops U. Basketball Coaching Academy. Enjoy!

Let me say, to begin with, that there are no secrets in basketball. There are coaches who, when the principles of basketball are explained to them, do not find the answers sufficiently intellectual to be satisfying. These same individuals, when a chemistry teacher tells them that the formula for water is two parts hydrogen and one part oxygen, don’t complain that the formula is unsophisticated. But unfortunately, many of them turn up their noses at the basic truths of basketball, because these truths are too commonplace.
LATEST ADDITIONS INSIDE THE U.
Here is a really nice baseline out of bounds play from the box set that UAB used to get a late-game 3-pointer. This 3-point shot helped them upset 3rd seed Iowa State in the second round of the 2015 NCAA tournament.
