There are different variations of DDM around the country
Coaching Thoughts | John Calipari Nike 2009 Basketball Clinic Notes
Must be able to say NO, must set standards of behavior
Demand a lot, you will get a lot…accept mediocrity you will get average
playWhen you gain their respect it becomes affection……..when you try to gain their affection
you won’t gain their respect.
You MUST develop LEADERS, coaches can’t be the only leaders
Teach leadership and what it means to lead.
Define ROLES, each player should know their role within the first month
Want more playing time? Whose minutes do you deserve? Why do you deserve them?
Getting them to work hard is easy, getting them to love hard work is the tough part.
It’s not just X’s and O’s
Must teach players to ACCEPT responsibility, are they getting these in other places ? (school,
parents)
Get players to be Positive, when team has Fun they will play their best
DDM is fun, playing basketball and having FUN
Look into their eyes in drill work when making moves
Why we run DDM | John Calipari Nike 2009 Basketball Clinic Notes
Points per possession
Spacing gets you to line and gets you uncontested 3 pt shots
1.2 points per poss is great, .08 is not good
What we do
we set no screens
we don’t post the big unless on a call
we are spaced out
Start offense | John Calipari Nike 2009 Basketball Clinic Notes
1 passes to 2 beyond half court, 1 will hold and allow 2 room to Drive
1 passes to 2, in half court, he will go through
Everyone who catches the ball must have a direct lane for a layup
We REPLACE the guy we pass to, once he puts it on the floor, creates floor spacing
We run pattered stuff, then get into spacing for motion
We don’t jump stop, we stride stop
It’s YOUR GAME when you have the ball in your hands.
If they sag, by the 3rd drive the defenders will run into each other. Point guard must have 4
layups per half
Point guard must bring ball up court inline with the elbow, he then can get to basket with either
hand
All post passes are up in the air, throw it up and let the big go get it on drive &
dish
This offense is predicated on playing aggressive defense
ON BREAK | John Calipari Nike 2009 Basketball Clinic Notes
