Jerod Haase UAB Blazers Wheel Action

Written by Coach Peterman

I have coached at the NCAA Division 2 (Southwestern Oklahoma State University), NAIA (USAO), and JUCO Levels (Blinn College and Carl Albert State College) as well as high school. I just felt that fellow coaches especially young coaches need to constantly work on their “game”. Just like the basketball players that we coach. We as coaches need to improve ourselves. That is my story and why I do this blog.

Jerod Haase UAB Blazers Wheel Action

Jerod Haase took the cinderella story to the NCAA Tournament. The UAB Blazers got an opportunity to face UCLA in the NCAA Tournament. His team hit 12 three pointers during their game versus UCLA, but they got out-rebounded by UCLA by 41-26. Tony Parker and Bryce Alford combined for 50 points to beat the UAB Blazers led by Jerod Haase.

I think that Coach Jerod Haase ran some great stuff during that game. I was suprised by his wheel action that was very effective. Coach Haase is a family first coach and he will do anything for his players. He earned my respect as a coach with the fact that he can really coach. Coach Jerod Haase loses two seniors and they averaged 8 points a game. I believe that they will be a lot stronger next year.

They won the Conference USA Tournament and then beat Iowa State, but you will also remember that they lost to UCLA. Coach Haase is someone that you need to follow and take a look at his X’s and O’s.

So there you have it: The Blazer”s basketball season is over, but not before the guys re-energized a fan base aching for good news. Not before they reminded their fans how hard work can pay off. Not before the players understand what they have in a coach.

Check out this youtube clip on the UAB Blazers Wheel Action. I liked the mis-direction of the play and the shot selection.

Coach Adam Spinella is entering his first season as an Assistant Coach at Culver Academies in Culver, IN. Spinella spent the three years prior as a Student Assistant Coach at Division III Dickinson College. The Dickinson Men’s Team advanced to two NCAA Tournaments and accumulated an overall record of 59-26 (.694) during the three-year span, with the 2013-2014 season ending in the Division III Elite Eight. A native of Bow, New Hampshire, Spinella has a keen interest in X’s and O’s, particularly in professional basketball, and skill development.
