Favorite Send to FastDrawTeaching your players to effectively and efficiently pass with 1 hand will improve skills and power and become overall better passers. The key to this drill is teaching both passers how to catch the ball and obsorb the force into your hand like a spring and fire the pass back from the shoulder area. When setting the pick & roll/pop many coaches force their players to roll opening their chest up so they never turn their back to the ball. I like to give my players the option to roll either way depending on their comfort level. (turning over their low shoulder or opening up). I personally prefer the quick turn (instead of opening to the ball) because it is quicker and the screener can create more space more efficiently. If they choose to turn over their low shoulder make sure they do it quickly and snap their head around first to locate the ball. Today I had each player make 3 shots from each spot/move and then repeated the drill on the right side. See More
Favorite Send to FastDrawThis is the set the Miami Heat ran in Game 6 of the NBA Finals against the San Antonio Spurs. I thought from watching it the lob was open and the 3 which #6 LeBron James missed were both open. A great job of executing by the Miami Heat. See More
Favorite Send to FastDrawA slight counter to the Heat's dribble handoff into iverson action as after the handoff the PG (#15 Chalmers or #30 Cole move down to the block to set a back screen for #1 Chris Bosh to post up. With #6 Lebron James playing the 4 and handling the ball the point continues up to ball screen for him. Another action to eliminate the high hedge. See More
Favorite Send to FastDrawIn his coaching debut Friday night in the Las Vegas NBA Summer League, Steve Clifford ran this quick hitting curl-post play for the Charlotte Bobcats. See More
Favorite Send to FastDrawThe Miami Heat realized the San Antonio Spurs were sitting on certain baseline out of bounds plays after playing them 7 straight times and decided to throw a different wrinkle at them. Instead of the 4 & 5 setting a double screen for 1 or 3, #1 Chris Bosh set a back screen for the 4 man who dove right to the rim. #1 Bosh's man protects against the cut allowing #1 Bosh to pop for a wide open jumper.

Favorite Send to FastDrawA common San Antonio Spurs SLOB which didn't translate into many points against the Miami Heat. But the amount they ran it made me think they must have had good success with this action during the season. They utilized these back screens to get #21 Tim Duncan a post iso. The only hoop they got on this action against Miami was a #2 Kawhi Leonard 3 from the top of the key. See More
Favorite Send to FastDrawHere is the most common BLOB ran by the San Antonio Spurs in the NBA Finals vs the Miami Heat. They did a great job of getting #9 Tony Parker a mid range catch. After catching #21 Tim Duncan could come over and ball screen in a great screening area if Parker didn't have a shot. See More
Favorite Send to FastDrawHeat ran this at 7:45 of Q3 in game 7. When Chalmers clears to the corner he first runs at Bosh faking the screen. As this is happening Miller is sprinting into the back screen. The Spurs switched the pick and pop. Parker was guarding Miller and on the switch Parker guarded Wade and Manu guarded Miller. When Miller set the ball screen it was in the middle, but so low the screen was at the nail of the FT line. See More
Favorite Send to FastDrawThis is a defensive drill that during my three years at Cleveland State we did a multiple times a week. It incorporates a lot of things and teaches/practices fundamentals while letting the guys get after it and be competetive. The back tip and convert drill allows you to learn how to back tip the ball properly and then transition immediatly into offense so you work on your 2 on 1 breaks. The key to this drill is the back tipper needs to sprint, and tip the ball up with his inside hand. Don't reach, just run the floor and tip the ball. A really great defense to offense drill while teaching a unique skill. See More
Favorite Send to FastDrawThe Miami Heat do a fantastic job of getting the ball to the elbow in pressure/clutch situations. Here are two plays the Heat ran against the Indiana Pacers in the ECF from the Sideline out of bounds to get elbow catches. One entry turns into their most successful play the FT Line Back Screen two man game between Wade & Bosh with Lebron having the ball. The other set was how Miami won G1 as Lebron had an isolation from the elbow. See More

Favorite Send to FastDrawThis play starts with a hand off from 1 to 2. 1 cuts through to left corner and 2 uses quick on ball screen from 4. First look is to 1 coming off 5's baseline screen and two is a back screen lob for 4. Give it a try! See More
Favorite Send to FastDrawThe Pacers ran this set in a late clock situation right before the end of the First Half in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals vs the Miami Heat. #21 David West with a textbook example of ducking in, sealing a defender. This play didn't result in a basket as West missed an open lay-up. But the job he does of going along the baseline, then coming back towards the rim sealing they switching defender was tremendous.
