Here’s a new coaching clinic video from Coach Alan Keane and Basketball Australia. Learn how to use constraints and questions to improve players development and decision-making skills. Well-worth the 20-minute watch!
For more from Coach Keane, check out the podcast interview I did with him on A Quick Timeout podcast.
“Players are looking for coaches who allow them to problem solve, who give them a voice in the practice sessions and the preparations for games.” - Alan Keane

🏀 SSG: 1v1+Coach 2 Dribble Limit
Players start from a “neutral” position. The offense is allowed 2 dribbles. He can pass to the coach at any time and relocate to any position. Upon receiving a pass, the dribble limit resets, and 2 new dribbles are allowed.
