WHAT IS MY PHILIOSPHY?
o OFF: 1 or more shots each possession
o DEF: give up 1 or less shots a possession
o Dead balls, when ball goes inside and no shot, anytime the play breaks down
o Post sprints first 2 steps hard on ballscreen to get separation
o Offense=angles
o Ball screens force weakside defenders to play highside
o Lob the ball to the corner of the backboard
o On ballscreens ball needs to touch the paint
o When ball cuts lane line we duck in
o Can use non-playing big to set all ballscreens
o Non ball handlers can be cutters
o Anytime the ball is on the 2 side of the floor you must look to post
Key to guarding the high/low is to have the post defender beat the drop step with his foot
When we run dribble weave posts are in short corners
Great drill is 4on4 shell in the paint only
Only practiced 1:15 at Tulsa because they practiced so hard they would kill each other
Run the same BLOBs tight and wide

Asked about toughness drills

Sharing ideas is what it is all about
Have to really CARE to be great
ZONE OFFENSE | 2012 SMU Clinic Notes by Don Meyer
o Run automatics vs a zone
o This allows spacing for a penetration game or jump shot game
o Shift the zone and attack
o #1 target is the high post vs a zone
o Use the high post as the fill/reversal guy to eliminate 3 people in the middle of the zone
o On penetration should have 4 spots to pass to
o Throw in random pick n rolls
o Have a 1-4 high spacing vs the zone
Tougher on match ups
Tougher on changing defenses
Good for SLOBs
o Cut hard on automatics
ZONE DEFENSE
o Match up to the ball and start
o Weakside low always takes what the middle man leaves him
o Backline needs to play as high as it can
o Each player has a primary and secondary zone to cover
o If 2 guys are in your area take furthest guy away and bump
o If nobody in your area drop to paint and match
o If you see 2 guys you bump
o What is your short corner strategy?
Read the Talent Code by Daniel Coyle
85% of all NBA players are role players

Does your offense have an offensive rebound philosophy?
Great coaches have a curiosity about the game
I should know what you believe in by watching any 10min segment of your practice
Can only be great at 2 or 3 things
What is your vision for what your team will look like?
o 2.control who gets shots
o Advantages
o Foul trouble
o If gonna be a set play team than you need a simple motion offense
How is your flow?
Neber shoot the ball on a 45* cut
Make your pressure decisions in the off season
