SMU Basketball Coaching Clinic Notes
The SMU Basketball Coaching Clinic Notes featured SMU basketball coach Larry Brown, Bill Self of Kansas, Shaka Smart of Virginia Commonwealth University, Wes Miller of the University of North Carolina-Greensboro and longtime NBA coach Mike Woodson.
Larry Brown is a distinguished member of the Basketball Hall of Fame (2002); the sixth-winningest coach in NBA history (1,098 career victories); former University of Kansas Head Coach and coach of the Detroit Pistons and Charlotte Bobcats; only head coach to win both an NCAA title (Kansas – 1998) and an NBA Championship (Detroit – 2004).
Coach Brown has two dynamic players in Moore and Kennedy as well as they are very deep at multiple positions. If they can get a third scorer to emerge then you better watch out. The SMU Mustangs better win this year with a great group of scorers to put their stamp on recruiting after Emmanuel Mudiay left them for Europe.
Bill Self hinted that their offense will change this year compared to years past. They lack tall players in the post this year at Kansas. Coach Self mentioned at the SMU Basketball Coaching Clinic that they still will have to play inside out, but they will probably shoot more 3’s than they have ever shot. They have more guys that have the “green light” to shoot the three than ever before.
The SMU Basketball Coaching Clinic had one of the young up and coming coaches in Shaka Smart. Coach Smart preaches an up-tempo, pressing style of play that has caught the eye of recruits. Some teams say they play fast; VCU actually does it. Everyone wants to play in the 70’s and get a lot of shots. They take pride in the fact that they run “Havoc” and how they run it.
