Basketball Coaching | Learn Basketball Tactics from the University of Wyoming | Larry Shyatt Packline Defense 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.

Larry Shyatt is one of the leaders in the basketball coaching profession in Packline Defense. He is the head men’s basketball coach for the second time at the University of Wyoming. He was also the head men’s basketball coach at Clemson University and assistant for Billy Donovan at the University of Florida.

I wanted to share these basketball coaching materials with you today. His basketball tactics have allowed the University of Wyoming to have their first twenty win season in nine years. The Packline defense is a great defense to have in this day and time will all the dribble penetration going on. I think that dribble penetration is biggest concern on defense and not the outside shot.

These basketball tactics are things that he implemented at the first of the year. He told the players that if we have a poor shooting night then we will still be in the game with defense. The seniors bought into this basketball coaching idea and the rest is history. The Pokes now have the top scoring defense, rank second in 3-point defense and third in field-goal percentage defense.

Scott Duncan was with Larry Shyatt the first time the friends were starting in the basketball coaching community. They decided to team up again for the last rodeo in their careers. Coach Duncan left UCLA to join his basketball coaching best friend when Coach Wyatt got the Wyoming job again. I really think that you are going to like these basketball tactics for your basketball coaching material.
