🏀 Practicing Special Situations
📋 TONIGHT: Free Webclinic, “Flow Offense for High School”
➕ 4-Out & 5-Out Conceptual Offense
🎥 Teaching Finishing Moves + Daily Vitamins / Finishing School
Practicing Special Situations
My goal is to make special situations as “un-special” as possible for my players.
Try playing “56-56” once a twice a week.
put 2:00 on the clock
set the score at 56-56
start 5v5 with a jump ball
once a team scores 60, start the clock
play the final 2:00 with normal clock, normal rules, and each team in the bonus
All sorts of EOG situations will arise over the course of a season. Players will get more and more comfortable with sometimes stressful scenarios.
TONIGHT: Flow Offense for High School
Join us tonight for a free webclinic with Coach Justin Gerstung, head coach at Akron High School. He’ll share four phases of Flow that are easy to teach and easy to install, rules that allow the offense to naturally “fix” spacing, and hunting actions that give players freedom from choice. Set an alarm on your phone. You won’t want to miss this one!
4-Out & 5-Out Conceptual Offense
Coaches familiar or unfamiliar with conceptual offense will get something from this week’s offensive breakdown
On this 1-on-1 coaching call, I talk through conceptual offense ideas for both 4-Out and 5-Out offense. I also share ball screen strategies and quick hitters from coaches like Alabama's Nate Oats and Vanderbilt's Mark Byington.
