Quick Notes
Kevin Eastman
On BIGS:
Don’t post up, post across
Own the midline
Theres rarely bad second shots
Be a niche guy
Rim running takes no skill just will
Fist fight to get open, foot fight to score
Leverage game, lower shoulders wins
Perpendicular post (15 foot, heals to baseline)
As the level of play goes up, the floor shrinks (guys are quicker, longer)
Post moves: Your feet get you advantage, the ball separates
“Butt into thy, no deny”
“When in doubt, spread out”
“sprint to spacing”
“pause for poise”
take away a deny arm (make defender turn his shoulders, get wide into their arm)
post – see cutter all the way to rim, Celtics score on delayed cutter passes
OWN-RENT-HOMELESS post position
Steve Nash said he didn’t have ”enough solutions” in his game
Figured out what gave him problems in every scenario & found a counter
Offensively, post should keep eye on his defender, not the ball
Log your defender mentally, whats he doing, what can you do
Is he ¾ hard on post ups? Move your post higher next time
Does he relax on passes out of post? False post him then bury for repost
Go over must-screen situations
Pick n rolls: arrive without your defender
“never let them foul your shooting hand”
Garnett post: draw contact, step top leg behind defenders bottom leg, use upper body to get wide knocking defender off balance over your top leg
Brendan Suhr
Allow players to draw up plays in practice and direct the team
Fran Fraschilla
Use charts for progression for each area of the game to implement in practice
Evaluate your drills with your staff, what can you do to better teach the part
No shot fakes, just rip and go moves
If passer throws to your inside shoulder hes telling you that you are open, if he throws to your outside shoulder, you need to make a play
Kevin Eastman
Don’t stop at hard, get over it
“1 more” culture
championship nature over human nature
coach-onomics
possessions derived from…
there are no voluntary champions
expect – inspect
Coachmanship – leaders define reality
Chase the dream, not the competition
You’ll never outperform your belief system
Scrimmage but after game point, use a validation free throw to seal win. If miss lose 3 points. Chart clutch free throw makers.
Trap-protect-rotate
Force hang time passes
Take out the trash – don’t let things linger or it will stink it up for everyone
