Why Basketball Coaches Need to EVOLVE This Season

[@michaelnoftle7121]

Hey, you really are back! Glad to see you guys posting again. I'll try to brainstorm some topics from my list of offseason desired improvements and such.

Appreciate it!

What kind of topics should we cover?

[@michaelnoftle7121]

I've gone through my list of topics on which I am developing my philosophy and want your thoughts. I haven't gone through all of your previous episodes to see which you may have already discussed. Feel free to choose any or completely ignore. Preference for defending ball screens, DHO and stagger screens (guard to guard and big to guard)? How do you emphasize shot selection and what is your philosophy? Anything specific you try to get to offensively when shot clock is under 10? What in-game charting or stats do you keep (or would like to keep) that you think would be helpful for live decision making or halftime adjustments? What are you thoughts on best ways to attack a switching man defense? What are your favorite small-sided games and why? Do you allow any "free play" offensively in-game and if so, what principles do you have in place that must be followed? What about any strictly enforced defensive principles? What are your press preferences (man vs zone, full court vs 3/4 court) and in what situations? I once heard a coach talk about his Rule of 3, meaning the three elements of the game that he thought were the most critical for success. For example, my current three are Rebound, Limit Live Ball Turnovers, and Play Through the Paint. What would yours be? What are your thoughts on how to make halftimes most effective?
