What is a good rule of thumb for players in determining how far up the line to play denial? How much distance should they be up the line? Thanks. Coach Swaim ...
First off, thanks to everyone for the sharing of ideas. I¹ve found this very helpful, because it has seemed that just as I have had a question, that someone...
I see this move in handling high ball screens done all the time in college. My question is what is the major objective? Is it to turn the dribbler back...
With that much time we would throw the ball to mid-court and call time out. We run 3 man to man offensive sets from the sidelines out of bounds and we have a...
As far as a starting point we pretty much split the difference because we felt we could show.. just open up... NOT face the dribbler and disrupt his attempt to...

Our first game is tomorrow. Entered in a tournament. Suppose to be a friendly local affair to sort of kick off the year. Our first game is from a team coming...
Some might use a specific distance, but that distance will change depending upon how far away the ball is. Basically, I want my defender up the line far enough...
Last year, we were a horrid free throw shooting team. This year, I expected an improvement because we are a much better shooting team. Well, we had our first...
We did this to force the dribbler wide.... so his defender could stay with him... coming hard over the top. You could trap... but we didn't want to switch...

Mix&Match We use this with age groups at camps and it is GREAT. 1) make 8 groups (teams) of 3-5 players per team. (works great at camp because you can use...
We would first try to go in transition after a made basket without a timeout, making sure that I had a referees ear for a time-out in case something didn't...
I want to invite everyone to ATTACK Athletics new website for high school and college players and coaches. It's www.attackskillsclinics.com. I hope everyone...
From my point of view, it is to swing the dribbler out wider and not let him turn the corner. It also allows both defenders to recover so as not to switch....
I agree with you Tony... and would add that it depends... on who you are guarding. If your man is a shooting machine and never misses a "3", or if their point...
Tough at that age that's for sure. It's a positive to play a great team with great players?!?! I had a similar situation several years back with a girls AAU...
This reminds of something I think Coach Sars told me once.... "what is a good strategy for when you are playing a team that is bigger, stronger, faster, better...
First, I wanted to say that I thoroughly enjoy reading the posts and dialogue between coaches on this site. I often find the information very useful. My...
Have a designated player (probably a guard) deny the pass from the rebounder to the outlet pass. This way the guard has to come back to the ball and not catch...
We don't have a set rule because the guys they cover play at different speeds and have different skills. We just scrimmaged Oxon Hill High and they had a kid...
Play 6 on 4 (6 offense). Two of the offensive players are restricted to the baseline (they can catch and shoot, drive, or pass). They cannot move from their...
Ok, I'll spare you the rah rah crap. Simple answer is avoid the train wreck and forfeit. If this team is that much better than you are, forfeit and get them...
I agree.. use it as a learning situation... work on some things you need to improve upon..... stay positive with them because when you are getting your butt...

I've had problems like this in past seasons. I am a big believer in players working on free throws on their own time. This means ... we do not take team...

i tried to post a windows media player clip for everyone to enjoy, but it came back. it said something about the message being over the limit? i have been...
All you have to do to "win" is play better than expected. I don't think anybody is going to expect you to outscore these guys or fault you if you don't. But,...
While I'd love to just have my girls shoot free throws on their own time, there just isn't any gym time for them to do so. Instead, what I like to do is...
