Coach Knights philosophy on offensive development | Bob Knight 2012 Nike Las Vegas Clinic Notes
1. Every shooter should be paired with a rebounder
2. Shooter must practice game shots with game effort
3. Shooters should step in with their shooting foot

Improving Transition | Bob Knight 2012 Nike Las Vegas Clinic Notes
1. Use full court transition drills to make both teams work in the full court
2. Allow extended periods of scrimmage time to “Make the defense play some defense”
3. Keep offensive players 8 ft above the baseline (allows for middle and baseline drives)
Scrimmages in practice
1. Use Directed, dictated Scrimmage situations
Conversion drill | Bob Knight 2012 Nike Las Vegas Clinic Notes
Work transitioning O-D and D-O
5 man change drill
Rules:
Play set as normal, when “Change” is yelled possession changes on the same side of the court. Defense cannot guard who was guarding them (requires communication, and recognition of defensive lapses)
Zone Offensive thoughts | Bob Knight 2012 Nike Las Vegas Clinic Notes
1. The biggest weapon against the zone is the dribble
2. Attack Gaps in the zone with the dribble
3. Space and fill after drives
4. Never throw the ball back to the person you got it from (make the D rotate)
5. Never Dribble and pass in the same direction vs. the Zone
