THE STARTING FIVE

🥇 Best of the Week This tweet resonated with people. I think because of the generational bond coaching creates. There are plenty of parts of coaching that are not great, but to me, they are far outweighed by one of your former players calling “COACH!” from across parking lot on some random day and connecting with them over how their life is evolving.

PG - 🚀 “Rocket” Action.. A tactic to attack hard hedge or ball screen traps. Get familiar:

SG - 👯 A beautiful set thread by my friend Kostas Kalogeropoulos detailing the offense from France in the Olympics

My personal favorite of the batch is the Horns Stagger Zoom Fist

SF - ⭕️ You know you’re on to something with Circle Motion when you can make the opposing coach this mad 😠


PF - 📺 Steve Nash teaching the “triple threat” positon

I get a kick out of these old videos… it’s a reminder of how much the game has changed, but also how much it stays the same


C - 🐥 Part of the appeal with Joey Gallo’s Tandem 2-3 Zone Defense at Merrimack is it’s versatility to extend of the court, either taking time away from the offense or giving the opportunity to trap near half court:

OFF THE BENCH

📺 Slice Stagger Continuity creating a constant post and a perimeter option in one continuity action

🤑This Zone Offense action has over 1.3 million views on Facebook

🎥 What am I working on? My Blocker-Mover product is coming soon… a Shell Defense product not too far after… using more animations and graphics in my content… updates to Circle Motion, Zone Motion, and the Encyclopedia of Zone Offense

POWERHOUSE PROGRAM BUILDING TIP:

Your coaching interview portfolio isn’t just your:

-Win/loss record

-Championships won

-Clubs/years coached at

Instead, it’s your COMPLETE VISION for how you would run an athletics program in detail

Start NOW in committing to paper so it’s ready BEFORE you need it

I’m kinda pumped for these Olympics, generally speaking and the basketball portion specifically.

I feel like Team USA has the advantage in every matchup, but are capable of losing just about every game. The games are shorter in length, so if they lose the math battle from the three-point line it can get really interesting.

Team USA is the best players in world, and they seem to want to play unselfishly. And I think the effort will be consistent once the games actually count.

But the world has caught up. Not all the way just yet, but the game is global now, whereas the Dream Team was competing against startup nations from a basketball standpoint.

It will be interesting to see how it shakes out. Wemby and Gobert playing together is the most intriguing part of all of it to me.

Who do you think will win the gold?

Have a great week!
