Basketball Coaches Association New York Clinic 2005 by Jon Gatlin

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.

Basketball Coaches Association New York Clinic 2005

Here are notes from Basketball Coaches Association New York Clinic 2005, courtesy of Coach Jake Luhn. These notes feature teaching by Dave Odom, Phil Martelli, Tom Crean, Travis Ford, Tom Pecora, and Joe Mantegna. The Basketball Coaches Association New York Clinic 2005 Coaches Clinic presents drills, plays, workouts, elements of the secondary break, along with other basketball teaching points.

Here’s what each Basketball Coaches Association New York Clinic 2005 speaker presents:

Dave Odom- Retired, former Head Coach at South Carolina, also saw stints at Wake Forest, and East Carolina in the same role- Post-play, and presser defense. “Key to disarm pressure = passing and catching (put you in position)”.

Phil Martelli- Current Head Coach at Saint Joseph’s- Gives drills, defensive philosophy, and gives teaching points of free throw shooting. “Implement drills that are scored by the number of defensive stops and not always by when the offense scores”.

Tom Crean- Current Head Coach at Indiana University- Gives tips on prior to practice activities. “Prior to practice: 1. Mentally Prepared, 2. Enthusiastic, 3. Ready to work hard”.

Travis Ford- Current Head Coach at Oklahoma State University- Defensive principles. “Never retreat on defense…always attack and attack…be aggressive”.

Tom Pecora- Current Head Coach at Fordham University- Discusses the terminology you use in your program, and some defensive ideas. “Terminology- Make sure all staff is saying the same thing – so kids can learn quicker”.

Joe Mantegna- Current Head Coach at Blair Academy in Blairstown, NJ- Man/Man Defensive philosophy, and rebounding. “Don’t box out… “Chuck and Chase”.

Coaches, I hope you learn from these notes, enjoy them, and hopefully they help you continue on your road to coaching success!
