Mike Jones DeMatha Catholic High School Notes by Matt Woodcock

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.

The drills that Coach Jones uses add accountability and competitiveness to every basketball drill you do! He starts practice with aggressive full court drills that include a time goal for accountability.

The Mike Jones DeMatha Catholic High School Notes will show you his offensive philosophy on how to attack half court and full court man defense. He likes to use a lot of ball screens and back screens from his flex offense to put the defense into a disadvantage and get great angles to look at high / low entries into the post. He believes in using motion continuity principles that include flex cuts to get quick scoring lay-ups.

DeMatha’s uptempo offense creates a transition from one phase of offense into another without stopping to reset the players. They push the ball up the court with quick passes. They also look at quick decision making against defensive pressure.
