Even if they don’t win today it’s still crazy seeing Indiana playing in a big time football game. Never would have believed it 3 years ago

Youth coaches:
Don’t get so caught up trying to win the next game that you forget to develop players for the next 5 years.
Development > short-term winning.
Love the talk on shooting in practice and how important it is at every level down to youth to shoot a lot in practice!

🚨 STICKY WORDS Sunday 🚨
HOOP = HELP
~ 27% of High School possessions, have no paint touch and no reversal. ~67% have 0 ball reversals + 1 paint touch. MOVE THE NEEDLE ON THIS.
Quality 3PA = Catch and shoot 3PA.
Quality increases in 3 foot increments:
0-3 feet - CONTESTED
3-6 feet - SEMI CONTESTED
6 feet + - UNCONTESTED
The quality of 3PA's is LARGELY determined by how well you transition, and paint touch frequency. This means that it is a PAIRED ANALYTIC; heavy correlation with one or more stats.
HOOP = HELP
SPACE = SHOTS
No surprise that the 2 most analytically driven teams in the NBA, Boston and OKC, have done this better than anyone in the last 4 years. Both teams are also on the lower end of organized offense rate.
The simple teaching points at younger levels:
- less scheme = higher quality 3PA
- use one or two triggers that enable paints touches at higher %
- master transition/secondary transition
Don’t miss your chance to compete with the best in southern MN!

Yep, why not just play small when Wemby is out and use Harrison Barnes?
Basketball is a simple game.
Mitch Johnson over complicated it, the entire series, in three ways:
1. Exotic coverages: Brunson can’t beat you from the mid range, much like Shai couldn’t last series. Way too many traps, matchup zones, blitzes, etc. leading to the Knicks attacking long closeouts all series long.
2. Transition to build the lead, and then walk the ball up the floor and play not to lose, with the lead. There was a clock in every single game of the series where you could see the Spurs shift from fast to slow.
3. The Kornet minutes. Mitch chose a guaranteed negative 10 minutes on a game by game basis versus getting creative with his personnel.
We’ve never a series more negatively impacted by a coaching staff than this Spurs squad in the NBA Finals. And it was all EXTREMELY predictable and preventable.
Mike Brown was INCREDIBLE. No coach more deserving of a title than him.
