Thinking about using 2-Sided Break (5-Out Transition Offense) with your team? Here's how we introduced it to our team. Included are the progressions, read options, and even set actions for early offense.

MARCH MADNESS TERMINOLGY 101:
LOW MAN/TAG DEFENDER- hoop defender against a 2 man action- tasked with tagging the roller in an aggressive coverage situation.
DHO- dribble hand off.
GHOST- fake the screen and move horizontally away from the ball (2 hands on the back).

2 for 1- using the shot clock to your advantage to attempt 2 shots to the opponents 1, at the end of half/end of game.

Wise words from Joe Mazzulla about how winning isn’t everything:
“At the end of the day, if you have a bunch of wins, but you don't have the relationship with the guys, it's pretty empty.”
“You're in it to go after stuff, together with people, and to be a part of someone else's story and someone to be a part of yours.”

@TwoFiveBaseball Went as a player when I was 12 with my dad. I thought it was great experience and looking back now because I was with my old man. Only get to experience it once with sons and fathers.

@steeder10 Trend towards what Memphis Grizz were doing first half of season last year??

If there is a trend that Spoelstra is creating, ALWAYS pay attention to it. 📝

Miami's offense has been super interesting over its first few games. They've run an average of 22 on-ball picks per 100 possessions over the first three games. For context, the 76ers set 37.9 per 100 possessions in 2018-19, the fewest of any season in the tracking era.

@JohnnyFontane1 @CinemaTweets1 Just think Chase pitched it to these networks early on too and they said no. Best thing to occur.

@CinemaTweets1 It ushered in the death of network TV shows. People wanted swearing, death, gore, sex, etc. Everything you couldn’t see on NBC, CBS, etc. Network shows became excessively boring in comparison.

Spent last 2 days at a couple NBA training camps. 1st of all, @cavs + @OrlandoMagic have elite cultures from mgmt to coaches to players! 3 big things to me... NBA players talk---incredible communicators. They sprint the floor--both ways. And they don't waste reps! All business--it's why they are where they are!

If the @PGA’s goal was to keep out the riff raff with $750 tickets, it had the complete opposite effect.
Instead, they filled Bethpage with young men who don’t blink at a $750 get-in price because that’s a rounding error on their dad’s credit card.
The ones I saw crossing the line were overwhelmingly 19-25 year olds who have clearly never had to mop a floor in their life and wear their disdain for anybody who has all over their face.
The type wearing a size small Peter Millar polo and 5” inseam shorts who have never been punched in the face and have no humility.
Meanwhile, the “regular guy” who works a regular job and doesn’t look down on everyone outside his tax bracket was priced out.

@AlanMCole So true Lol, the amount of traveling we have done this month and the amount of times we reserve the car we want only to have another car pull up has been comical.
