Another Chris Casey Quote

When you stare at the rose bush, you have to see the roses past the thorns.

Football Coach Casey

If you go into the weight room with determination

and then you lift with determination

you'll get better.

Raise a child with proper habits

Expose them to certain things of a high mind and order

Don't expose them to things with a low mind and order

Jerry Sloan Quotes


"These guys have been criticized the last few years for not getting to where we're going, but I've always said that the most important thing in sports is to keep trying. Let this be an example of what it means to say it's never over." –after the Utah Jazz defeated the Houston Rockets in Game 6 of the 1997 Western Conference Finals.
"I don't care if he's 19 or 30. If he's going to be on the floor in the NBA, he's got to be able to step up and get after it. We can't put diapers on him one night, and a jockstrap the next night. It's just the way it is." –on second year guard C.J. Miles, the youngest player on the 2006–07 Utah Jazz.
After Stockton had injured his finger during a game, Jerry was asked what finger Stockton injured. Jerry replied, "The one on his hand."
"Size doesn't make any difference; heart is what makes a difference."

Manning and Tom Moore's brilliance

It's not about having a ton of plays, its about about having a small number of plays that fit together.


Sid Gilman- "no matter how much you study or how much film you watch, there's gonna be 11 guys on the other side of the football."

If you expect them to do something, you had better teach it then practice it, then never allow anything less. Remember its either taught or allowed.


Calapari

Charge and dive drill, how to do each of these without getting hurt, so that they will do it.  Dive= roll to your back, charge take it with your butt.


Stunt drill= stunt at the ball then pick off the pass corner.

Lunges= teach the huge push step in 1 2 and 3 step scenarios  from sideline to sideline, helps keep the ball in front.  You must TEACH them how to guard the ball.
(goes great with containment rules)

The second part of that saying

Life's not fair, and there's nothing you can do about it. You had better worry about what you can control.

KP Workouts

Lots of influence from the Practice Perfect stuff

learn a skill in the correct fashion

Learn how to do it correctly.

From the movie stick it

Throw your best tricks and throw em hard.

The death ground strategy

You will gain the ultimate motivation to get something done pmce you have convinced yourself there is no other option than doing.

Think animal backed into a corner

Carolla on what football teaches you

It teaches you how to internalize

Internalize to understand that the problem was with you, that you must fix it amd be accountable for it.

Externalize the problem is with the community, that you couldnt do anything about it and your just a victim of your surroundings.

Bob diaco def coordinator notre dame

The team looks like its defense, the defense looks like its middle linebacker.

Being Mentally Tough, Learning to PLAY PRESENT

Play Present
1) Focused on the play in front of you, 100 % in the present mentally, not the past or the future.

Not thinking about a mistake your teammate made, that you made, that a ref made.  Not worried about winning the game.

100 PERCENT IN THE PRESENT

2) Focused on the process


What are the thing you have no control over?
Parents, Fans, Refs, etc.

What are the things you have 100% control over?
a) Your Effort
b) Your Attitude and Mindset

Saturday, January 5, 2013

Talk to your players about affect

How they run between dead balls

How they huddle

How they win dead ball time

What your conversation with taylor taught you

Its not just the scheme, its the passion and detail that the scheme is taught with.
"All our stuff is genius!"
At the same time your kids have to have a supreme understanding of how and why your scheme succeeds and fails. There must be accountability for those things as well.
"Our stuff works but some of players don't get it sometimes" and she means that they know why and what they screwed up.

Stephen curry warriors d

Talked about their biggest difference in their defense this year being that in the past they had a different, gimmicky coverage every night in order to compensate for their smaller line up. This year they have one set of base principals that they have stuck with and gotten better at every game this season.

They have reduced gray area and they have defensive absolutes. Their identity doesn't change.

Notes from practice today

Purdue 1-3-1
Center stays at rim middle has corner.

rolling your schemes, doubling the post
1) On Catch
2) Bounce 1, 2
3) Choice
4) Straight up and choke
5) Choke
6) off a cutter

Carolla on value

What you're given will never have as much value as what you had earned it.


The more of something you have, the less value they all individually have.

Notes for the Thursday

Coaching a team can't be a hobby, you have to run it like a business

Questions to be asking yourself,
"How could this be a rebounding drill?"
"How could this be a turnover prevention drill?"
"Where are our bad fouls coming from?"

OC stuff
-What defense are they in?
-How are they guarding it?
-How are they guarding our perimeters and bigs? Where is the help coming from?

Drill the exchange

Escape Series= really good for developing basketball intelligence and decision making, what is a good shot in these scenarios? Is that based on personnel?

Forget Easy Plays= Make SURE Plays

Asst Coaches on

New points of emphasis in a drill/game

Off ball defensive intensity
Rebounding
-block outs
-Rebounding Down
-O Boards effort
Off Ball Intensity
-Stance
-Communication
-Activity (are you up to something? Are you active?)


Great Teams

Great teams confront their issues with brutal honesty, and address them without flinching.

Late game SOB



Florida Style pick and roll


Basketball Maturity

Defensive Maturity= It is near impossible to shut a team out. You must acknowledge that defensive is only 50 percent of the 1 v 1 match- up.  You cannot stop everything your job is to play percentages.

Your job is to give maximum effort to make the offense take the most difficult shot possible on every possession.

You must be at peace with the fact that you may do your job and the offensive player may still score.

If you controlled everything you could..........Maturity.



Offensive Maturity

What is the defense taking away? What are they giving up?

Offensive Maturity is a player acknowledging that the individual play in front of them is too difficult and in turn making the decision that is the higher percentage play.

Sharing the ball, do i try to split this gap? I should probably just kick it to then open shooter.  Am i being trapped or doubled? I need to complete a pass out of this trap.

Post Players and Offensive Rebounds

Post player should understand that part of their job is to get offensive rebounds to generate points.

Explain the Kobe assist

If you're upset about not getting post entry's ask yourself if you're getting o boards

Escape Series

Random 2 on 1s

Random 3 on 2s

Random 4 on 3s

WOU on Free Traps

Western Oregon Terminology for sprinting to take away outs for offensive player who is trapped

"join the party"

Talked a lot about getting their terminology straight at the beginning of the season.

Triangle O

Worry about us

entry phase

are we building bubbles?
are we holding seals?
are we seeing the posts numbers?
are we reading where the help is coming from?

catch phase
1 on 1
are we attacking middle first?
are we going without catch, chin, and checking?
are we getting somewhere with our dribble?

Double teams
did we catch chin and check first?
Did we run our dive and fill window action?
Did we throw to the right player on the weakside 2 on 1?


Sets
superman (clear out 4 dives)
Invert (punch in weakside)

Entrys
floppy
zipper
1 up flat screen


Challenge of a coach

What will your team do when the bullets are flying?

What do they need to do when the bullets are flying?

What do they actually do that they need to work on?

Are you in tune enough to see whats right in front of you?

K I S Stupid...........This is what your opponent is doing, what is your practiced response?

Program keys

Organization is key to everything, an order to things, attention to detail, a system with failsafes in place to ensure success.

Schedules for everything

Systems for everything

Player and coaches with notebooks

Meetings every Monday

watch film with individual players

Gameplanning/scouting
Recruiting
Travel

Assistant coaches roles must be defined in the same systematic way.

WOU Practice

If you deny you cant rotate, you will be late.

Rotation allows player to play faster.

drives from the top hurt the most, don't rotate off the corner(its the exception to the rule), stay home (there's no rotation  in the world for it.)

any drive from the outer thirds you should have rotation help.

front posts because they will need to rotate.

5 on 4 drill to practice press and transition d

Defense starts with defensive trans

D Trans

we take a shot and get to floor balance spots

3 to reb triangle, one at top of three pt line, one at half court

When the ball is rebounded closest defender clamps the rebound tries buy 2-3 seconds

other guards fill 2 outlet spots looking to take away quick outlet and apply ball pressure

forward fills center at mid court

must fill home (low hole) at all times

Match up from there.

Point and talk, match up

1) floor balance
2) clamp rebounder
3) call home fill spots
4) point, talk, match up

Presses

Red 4 guys in back court 94 ft of pressure (c could be in a trap with f on deep corner pass)
Blue 2 guys in backcourt safer press( c never leaves home for corners)

Vertical/free traps are big part of both of them

once in the press must apply ball pressure
2-2-1 walberg ish

guards on ball must not get beat to the outside with a dribble
other guard in support position( trap blind or if other g is beat middle)

Everyone else is in the box(ballside of split line, slippage)

Player that can't move will become hole guys all the time.

for center= if no one deep move up you still have the hole covered

everybody talk everybody match up

Guards have everything lateral or backwards in the press except if were red.

Look to trap quick reversals if they dribble into quick sand

Rush call, r and jump middle

against a v formation guards shouldn't tandem because they will always be late getting to the ball reversal on the other side.  Instead if ball goes from side to middle, same guard should take it.

If the ball is middle third you have to chase cutters and show. (floppy set)

Switch everything weakside to stay in help.

Have to work on defending pick and rolls
Have to work on 1 on 1 defense in the middle third (giving ground, pushing back

One time they down pick and rolls on one side of the floor, and push it up on the other because a team was some right hand dominant.

4 on 5 drill 2 g' 1 f 1 c vs 5 off players (off 5 can only go block to block) after that 5 defenders press the 4 off players

(Ball must be dribbled over half court, only 2 dribbles, sometimes only 1 dribble after hc)

d trans off of 1 v1 pivots


Offense
Offensive stuff= want to run and fast break a ton

Attack elbows middle

offensively worked on pivoting to the middle of the floor always, did a warm up drill where the took shots all off that pivot

Carried into their offense where they talked about rip pivots, which is a middle pivot turned into a crossover step(helps reverse the ball).  Wanted players to pass with their outside hand

Offensively they run cutters which is 4 out set where they pass and cut to the rim, when they add the center he play hi for back screens and pinch actions, or low for post ups.
They want ball reversals, ball and player movement. Ran hand offs and called backdoors dives.

guard breaks were offensive cutthroat working on 4 out rules.

Big breaks were hit and finish against dummy d with medicine balls.
On scout they tell their guys who's drive first and who's shoot first.

Offensive Spots
Top slot wing and corner

set a lot of butt screens= flat screens

Shake set= slot slot corner corner, with the center coming from the rim.  Guard with ball bounces away, f runs into butt screen in the slot area.

5= roll replace  can be side or flat

replace man starts at the rim

On all pick and rolls guard must take two hard attack dribble

after pick and roll
1) throw ahead action
2) Reverse post action

Counters

Flip action your old pink
Guard takes 2 attacking dribbles to stretch the 5 then receives a re screen from 5
*do this if they're going underneath or soft hedging or tandem

Twist
Screener runs up and at the last second jumps to the other side of the screen
*do if the are trying to force the ball one way
*do that if you're playing against a good defender
*do that to mis-direct the hedge

Against tandem sag, Stretch the 5 then throw ahead or reverse post it.

Against downing, attack the big defender hard,have the screener pop.

be sure where and when you pass the ball "Do you know what double d's look like?  Are you sure you know what double d's look like? Well you gotta be that sure about the pass."


Constantly huddling to talk
Big on calling the ball on every rotation

Players have notebook's, coaches constantly watching film with them, puts guards in charge of getting guards and bigs in for film sessions.

Monday debriefings where they talk about what they stand for, what they're going to work on that week, and an evaluation of what they've been doing.
