Hi I’m a High School JV coach. Seems like my upcoming team will be filled with athletes and not the smartest players to run complicated half court sets.

What are some tips, drills, videos , presses , Coaching points to run an uptempo team?

Hey, does anyone know where I can buy a pad for one of these WITH diagrams, etc. not just lined paper: https://thumbs.worthpoint.com/zoom/images2/1/1011/07/nike-basketball-padfolio-notebook_1_a2fbbe42587a46d8c7be05f29769dba4.jpg

I recently started coaching a basketball camp throughout the year prior and had a blast teaching the kids about the game and fundamentals. I was talking to my old high school and I was able to land a job as the assistant coach on the JV team. Any tips about how I can prepare myself for the upcoming season? Videos to watch, books to read, and just tips in general?

hi! all i want to know is :how do i do a knee buckling pull up?

Has anyone run the packline defense while playing with an up tempo offense? If you have, what was your experience? If you haven’t, why do you believe this may not be a good idea?

In terms of tempo rank on KenPom in 2017, Virginia was ranked 333rd, Arizona was ranked 276th, and Xavier was ranked 224th. All 3 programs run the packline and all play a slower brand of offensive basketball.

It’s just something I find interesting. As a coach who is considering employing the packline defense in my program, I’m wondering if it may be counter productive to play up-tempo while running the packline. The 3 college programs I listed above play a slow tempo, and it just seems that making teams work very hard defending on the offensive end may help the packline defense as teams will then have to work just as hard to get good looks.

Greetings, and forgive the slightly off-topic post. I am a Bostonian visiting San Francisco, and a tall guy with a basketball stopped me in the middle of the street and said, “Do you know xyz xyz?” He said some name, and I didn’t know who he was talking about. I said, “No, I’m afraid I don’t.” He went on to say, “Yeah – he the coach for the and his name is xyz xyz. You look just like him. I’m serious, look it up!” I said, “great thanks, I will!”

Of course, later I completely forgot who he’d mentioned, and my friends are useless. But now I’m really curious.

So here is a picture of me in a shirt and tie, and then a more regular picture of me. I figured you guys might know. Thank you very much for any suggestions!

Hello Coaches,

I run a Youth rep club (U13), but I was mainly the assistant coach. Now that I have been moved up to head, I was wondering if I could switch up the offense and thought this play had good ball movement, a set of screens and not very difficult for players to understand.

Please check it out and tell me what you like or dislike. Any suggestions?

It’s a short video and it is explained pretty well.

**There was one thing I changed up which creates a back door option from the week side where after there is a screen away from the post. The post player who is doing the screening also sets an up screen to the wing player.
