If the 4 doesn't dive, his man can sag off and provide help without risk because the 4 is typically not a perimeter shooter. In this scenario if the 4's man steps up to provide help, 4 is open on the block, as opposed to 20 feet away. Actually, it could work for that very reason.

Maybe have the 4 set a pick for the 2, since typically the #2 guy is the shooting guard.

Everyone knows when it goes past the point of competing to rubbing it in. There is no "One Size Fits All" score. Each age & ability level has a different threshold of where it becomes too much. The goal of competition in basketball is not to destroy your opponent's will to ever compete again. The goal is the compete at the highest level possible while honoring the core constructs of being a great human being. As a college coach I believe in having my team competing from buzzer to buzzer, but I have many ways to keep the "Humiliation Factor" down if we are crushing a team. Substituting, Switching Defenses, Running the "New" Offensive Sets, Allowing a back up player to play a lead role for longer periods of time. We value our time on the court in practice and games. i will never ask my guys to give less that everything they have, but we can still compete full in a 2-3 zone rather than a full court press. We can compete fully in a passing game offense that looks to score under 10 seconds on the clock rather than fast breaking every possession against the lesser opponent. I look at it as an opportunity to work on a part of the game that we will need later on against better competition when we experience foul trouble or a dwindling lead down the stretch. At the end of the day "Sportsmanship" takes many forms. Do not insult your opponents by not playing, but do not insult your opponents by destroying them beyond all recognition.

I'm assuming your basic motion remains the same. Pass from the top of the key, cut, fill backside, and so on. So this is actually just another initiation option for the five out motion.

Scouting of teams rarely happens and there is not much game footage available to other coaches. I had a team run the score on my boys after my two best players went down with injuries. The score finished up 119 - 20. We gave the opposing team three cheers then shook hands. 5 weeks later I watched this team dominate the state semi finals and finals. I recorded both games and sent the DVD to the number one ranked team in the country. These two teams played in the national final later that season. While I didn't get to see the national final being played, the score at the end of the first quarter was 31-7. The top ranked school went on to dominate and win the national title with ease and I have no doubt the footage I sent up to them played a considerable part in their success.

It's fairly easy to tell when you're dominating another team. There is a benefit to teaching both life and basektball lessons when in this situation. You can pull back your press and work on a defense that you don't play well. You can stop fast breaking and set up offenses that you'll need later in the year. As a Coach, you can continue to have your players play hard, use your bench to get them some seasoning and work on offenses/defenses that will help you down the road.

You have to...l go from good to great. They spend time studying people, and what makes them tick. They learn that people don't trust right off the bat, and need to get to know you before they trust you. Being consistent in a message will help you grow that trust with ease. Testing has been online amoxil done in the psychology of persuading over the years by analyzing how people finally say yes. In essence, these tests are saying that people want to be consistent with previous actions.If they said yes to something in the past, they are more likely to say yes in the future. What does this mean to you as an internet marketer? You want to get your prospects to say yes to something small. The best way of doing that is to ask them for a tiny commitment first before the big sale. You don't want to ask for the largest sale right off the bat. Here is an amoxicillin example of what I mean, and how it could apply to your internet marketing sales funnel. For the purpose of demonstrating an idea, I'm going to use training and coaching as the product in the sales funnel.First, have them opt in to your auto responders, and download a free report, or short video series. You could have these videos add up to about 10 minutes in length, or 10 minutes in reading.The next step is to offer them the Expanded or Upgrade version of a few videos on this topic. These videos would be longer and add up to 45 minutes or an 1 hour. Remember, this is all really valuable content, not just fluff. Give them something they can sink their orthodontics into. After that series, offer them the opportunity to buy the "DVD" for a lifetime reference. This DVD again will provide buy amoxil online super valuable content. Think about what they will want, and where their mind is when they are making their first official purchase. Since this is their first purchase, make it small, around the $19.97 price point.Next you might offer them free 10 minute consultation if they bought your DVD. Make sure that the DVD is good content that keeps them wanting more. This consultation is a perfect point for them to get to know you personally. Be real, authentic, and helpful. Your underlying goal here is to help them with their problem. You always want to help them first, and foremost. Once they have gotten to know you, they will now trust you, and begin to really value you for what you can offer them. You are now providing them a consistent solution to their problem. The next buying proposition could be "Private access to training" in a group setting. This time the value is raised and the price is $395. You want to also make a 110% money back guarantee, so they feel the risk is low. The key is to under promise, and over deliver. You keep them wanting buy amoxil more.The next phase in the sales funnel could be a opportunity for "Private one-on-one coaching". This is a larger ticket item. It could cost $2,000 and includes 200% money back guarantee. You will guarantee that without any doubt, they will get results or get their money back and free coaching. This is about over delivering on a solution to their problems.Of course, this is an example of a sales funnel, and not everyone is selling internet marketing training - but you can get the idea. The idea is that if you provide valuable content, in small doses, they will want more. The lesson here is really about trust combined with value, and having patience with your newly found prospect.

However, the 3 cuts seems like it could be effective and hard to adjust to for awhile. The tactic I have seen work most effectively at the high school level is for a player or two to set screens away from the ball, making sure to ALWAYS roll properly on the screens and then flash BACK towards where they came from. The person receiving the screen may or may not use it to cut across the middle but if the screener always rolls and flashes back properly it leaves the defensive player behind them in possibly advantageous areas (elbow, low post, for example).

My son's JV team was up by 44 in the 4th quarter and our coach thought it best to keep the starters in until 4 minutes left in the 4th, shoot 3's the whole way, and most horrific he kept the full court press on until 2 minutes left in the game. The other coach started inserting bench guys in the middle of the 3rd when the deficit hit 40 points but not our coach. Not only was I embarassed but I actually sought out the other coach and apologized. Spoke to my son about it and he was just as upset as he had to be the one pressing the whole game and showing up the other players some who he was friends with. I would like to pull my son from the team but couldn't do it to my son as he loves playing. There is no room for NBA wannabe coaches at the high school JV level! Couldn’t agree more with this post.

Mon, 21 Jun 2010 03:47:24 +0000 http://www.perfectpractice.net/?p=144#comment-4161 I like Dick DeVenzio and got a ton of great stuff from his Point Guard College. I can see his point here and as a coach I have always had the upmost respect for the game, players and other coaches. However, I've had some difficulty developing that killer instinct once we get a team down by 15 or 20. So, I guess what I am asking here is, when is enough, enough? At what point do you turn the game into a teaching/learning opportunity. I've been up and had to fight off a comeback numerous times in the name of sportsmanship and not wanting to run up a score. I understand that practice is where you develop this killer instinct/attitude, but again, he has some great points! In FCA we talk about playing for God! How do you do that? By going 100% at all times for His glory. By being the ultimate competitor! What I get from this article and your take on it is that players need to play one way and one way only, full bore! I don't believe you can coach kids to take it easy. Therefore, this article is not really such a bad article, because it is simply telling players that; give it your all the entire time!

I'd do some whole method work , having units of 5 run the set 5 on 0 for fifteen to twenty quick passes, to get enough game-speed reps to run it in a game without breaking down. Every body does dummy 5 on 0 offense...but I think the key is to do it in quick spurts and maintain a great practice tempo. Walking through it will actually make your execution worse...and that's what most teams do, unfortunately. 2. Timing matters in this offense - offensive timing is just as important as offensive movement - we want to reverse the ball to a player moving off of the weak-side down-screen - we dont want her to be too early and end up standing on the wing waiting for the ball (recipe for turnovers)...and we don't want her to be late off of the screen (bogs down the offense and stymies ball movement) - so I'd spend some time emphasizing that by working on L-cuts / V-cuts, forcing offensive players to only pass to MOVING teammates on the perimeter, and forcing the offense to do it properly against defensive pressure. 3. Since we're looking for low post mismatches I'd work with everybody on proper post feeds, from below the FT line extended, faking high to pass low, and faking low to pass high; relocating on post feeds, and on individual post play < <plus plays and options off of it?>> --I don't know you're personnel, strengths, etc, etc. Sometimes If have the ball-side post player (4) is a good shooter I'll have him screen away for 5. 5 goes to the ball-side block and now 4 comes off of 1's downscreen to the top. ..so 4 gets executes pick the picker action then immediately comes off of a big-little screen looking for a jumper. Both pick the picker and little-big screens can produce good shots...doing both of them at once can produce even better shots. < <It is good for high school>> -Yes it is. I tent to use it a special play with high-schoolers, when motion isnt getting us any shots, or when motion starts to get too loose and we need a solid, structured possession in order to re-focus. Remember that you can kind plays and sets anywhere...they are a dime-a-dozen. and this is no exception. What matter is how well you teach your players and how well you can respond to them. < >>

You watched him do great things - i saw only questionable acts that i thnk spoke volumes about the type of person Thomas is and was. This is the same guy who sucker punched 'his friend' Bill Lambeer in the face at practise and in a blatant act of jealousy talked his Eastern squad teammates into freezing out rookie Micheal Jordan in the all star game. This is the same clown who shoved Mark Price into the crowd in a playoff game (who hates Mark Price!?) and spread the rumours that Magic Johnson contracted HIV through homosexual acts. When people in his life needed help - see: Bobby Knight's very ugly exit at Indiana - he never once spoke out publically in support. You mention the labour front - how about single handedly bankrupting the CBA then walking away? From the Raptors to the Knicks, everything this guy touches turns to _____. Period. I beleive this will be his true legacy. If youre looking for a real role model, look no further than his backcourt teammate, Joe Dumars.

Another advantage of a zone - especially a 2-2-1 - is that the rotations are relatively simple - running it well still takes time,. effort, and discipline, but the basics are simple and easy to teach. Check out the free ebook on Perfect Practice and/or the free 2-2-1 press offered on www.HoopClinics.com for more information. One last thing...a press is great for teams that run 8 or 9 deep - you'll be able to rotate players in and out consistently and stay more active. Coach,

I agree that the wing player doesn't necessarily need to be completely stationary; there needs to be some movement if the defense is trying to pinch the outlet. But that movement should occur after the outlet man gets to the outlet area and gets his back to the sideline. That positioning will allow for vision of the floor - and for the outlet man to make a V-cut to receive the pass. Trying to force the outlet pass when the point guard doesn't have vision of the floor is usually a recipe for turnovers. Even if he can avoid the turnover, if the PG isn't positioned to see the floor he's going to have a tough time finding teammates. Thanks for the response, Coach.

However would have player number one catch the outlet pass while moving to the wing. I feel this gives better protection against the defensive guard denying the pass to prevent a fastbreak. great drill offers a god variation of passes and player responsibilities.

I did this in two ways.. running situations at the end of every practice so they know HOW to handle things in games. That way, nothing fazes them since they are prepared. Will we run into something new from time to time? Of c0urse, but at least they are used to dealing with pressure situations! ... and then one of my favorites, which I called "Character Building" During scrimmages or any of the situations we ran, I would purposely make a BAD call. It was amazing how fast they caught on to this, they learned to play through adversity which carried over to games. (After awhile they just looked at me and smiled. We got very few Ts - unless it was on me :-) Just some thoughts here. Josh,
