Quickhitters by Justin Duke

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.

Here are three quick hitters that I like to run out of the half court. Last season, we ran these extremely well toward the end of quarters and halves when we wanted to get the last possession and our kids really bought in to the timing and how to slip and seal from the post when the first option wasn’t open. Our point guard would also really sell the penetration to the clear side of the floor and if the defense started to anticipate the reverse pass was able to get all the way to the hoop or drop it to a post if the help came over. When the post players set their double screen we encourage them to let their defender cheat over or under the screen to help cover the shooter so they can slip or seal toward the basket. I hope you find these useful!
