TAKE GREAT SHOTS
Paramount to our success is to sacrifice good shots for great shots. We define great shots as uncontested layups, advantage shots at the rim and inside-out threes. In the first half of the shot clock, we shoot these shots exclusively. In the second half of the shot clock, we will accept mid-range shots, floaters and off the dribble three point shots.
- Uncontested layup
- 1v1 Advantage Shot in Paint
- Inside Out Threes
Basketball is synonymous with “rebound-ball.” If we shoot 50% from the field, each rebound we get gives us an extra opportunity to score while taking away one from our opponent. Thus, a rebound is essentially worth 1 point. On defensive rebounds, we box out and “gang rebound.” We secure the ball with two hands and “total release.” On offensive rebounds, we send 1-3 players to the glass, depending upon our personnel. We “wedge” “swim-move” or “nail-hunt” for extra opportunities.
We win the first three steps and run the floor on both ends. Offensively, we fill the lanes wide and are a threat to score from the first second to the last. Defensively, we sprint back and show our chests, stop the ball, form a wall and match up with “early loud and continuous talk.”
