Kevin Eastman Boston Celtics Skill Development Clinic Notes

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.

Kevin Eastman Boston Celtics Skill Development Clinic Notes

Kevin Eastman is one of the best NBA skill development coaches in the country. He is currently with the NBA LA Clippers and Head Coach Doc Rivers. I am sure that Deandre Jordon’s improvement is from working with Coach Kevin Eastman. All Coaches have unique drills and philosophies on developing big men. There are 10 things that should be done to improve players and they should know why they are doing the drills. You need to explain practice development, screening, drill purpose and teaching points with the players while you are doing the drills. The Kevin Eastman Boston Celtics Skill Development Clinic Notes will discuss competitiveness, commitment, and cutting discipline. There are his “must haves” and “practice killers” that will be explained too.

Coaches have to hit the floor and maximize their time and their player’s potential. It’s important for their skill development. You will notice that the LA Clippers are in a game 7 tonight against the Golden State Warriors. Coach Eastman believes that every player should have a hard dribble, because soft dribbles will get you trapped and force turnovers. That you need to get your shoulders to their hips on dribble penetration, because it’s a shoulders game. You need to play low to high and be ready on the catch. Here are some moves that your guards should master: catch and shoot, catch and shoot off the dribble, and catch and quick penetration. Your post players should master the jump hook, drop step and dribble drop step, up and under, quick spin, and facing up to the basket.

I hope that you enjoy these Kevin Eastman Boston Celtics Skill Development Clinic Notes.
