I don’t know who needs to hear this, but…. Better players get more shots If you want more shots, become a better player

@D3Direct Warehouse Pizza

Using only a restaurant, tell us which D3 school you went to…

@TerryBattenberg I moved a guy who was struggled with fouls to coming off the bench and since then, he’s averaging 3 fouls a game and getting into a rhythm finally

Keeping players out of foul trouble is one of the tougher problems a coach faces. The Basic Rule is to avoid a 3rd personal foul in the 1st half, & a 4th in the third quarter so that the player has 3 or less fouls going into the 4th quarter. What are some strategies you use?

@brianmccormick That would make things interesting lol. No bail outs.

@CoachTHoyt Really? It’s more relaxed now. You used to have to tell the scorekeeper ahead of time so when you were scored against, the scorekeeper called timeout. It’s the same rule but now you can run to scorekeeper as your inbounding and usually get the TO. No timeout after you score.

Coaches should not be allowed to run on the court to call a timeout to bail out a player who has picked up the dribble or dribbled into trouble. #FIBARules. No live-ball timeouts.

@reidouse Understand that. And agree. If you watch any HS games lately (I coach varsity basketball). You’ll notice guys stand, and it isn’t holding space unfortunately. But yea I agree with all of what you’re saying.

You can cut to create space, but you can also cut to lose space. The 2nd part is where players get into trouble. The idea of "don't stand and watch" is generally started when players are young and not very good at handling the basketball. Coaches yell that to get players to come help the ball handler. But as players get older and more skilled, they need space. I often use this example (I used it last night actually) - let's say you and I are playing tag and you have to tag me. Do you want to play on a basketball court or in a hotel hallway? You would obviously want to play in a hotel hallway, because it's much less space to cover. It's much easier for you. Now think about basketball. When we are constantly cutting/moving, it is unlikely that we have players spread out wide. We want to force the defense to have to defend as much space as possible. The next time you watch a game on TV, watch how often a player gets to the corner opposite of the ball and just stands there. That player is serving a purpose. He is forcing his or her defender to guard that space, which should free up space for the ball handler/other teammates

Cutting CAN create space. But mistimed cutting takes space away from everyone else.

@SKarrG0 Same. This is like minimum standards of the job lol

Brother I do this for high school hoops and get paid diddly squat for it 😂 😂

@D3Direct @ULVBasketball @ulv_athletics @theSCIAC Played here for 4 years!!

This is a D3 facility👇

@LakeShowYo Honest

1 word to describe JJ Redick?

College basketball is cooked. What the hell are we doing??

@CoachHackGO Can be either. Probably a call early and a taught read. Great Princeton action.

Fake the zoom into the big to big backdoor Do you think this was a call or read?

Yamamoto

Rojassss!!!!

@CoachMitch_2 Same when they say “you have no head coach experience, when you were the lead assistant 3 different state contenders” lol

I got denied a head coaching job because they said my practice plans “seemed” too basic for the level that i applied for. Meanwhile my plan mirrored a certain big east program that had literally JUST won a national championship lol. Clueless ppl in power is hilarious

@reidouse Things that happen ALOT

A reminder for youth basketball coaches starting their season: Stop wasting so much time putting in set plays - most of them don’t work anyway. Teach your players how to space the floor and recognize opportunities to create advantages. That’s what actually translates to games.

@Thr33ntheKeyPod @TheHoopHerald Always room to develop the developed skills lol. That’s what pros do in season anyway. Double down on things they’re really good at and get them paid lol

@CoachTHoyt @TheHoopHerald You are probably right, I think of warm ups as getting reps on already developed skills though

Houston Rockets stationary Ball Handling work If it’s good enough for pros, you shouldn’t big time it You never outgrow the basics

@Thr33ntheKeyPod @TheHoopHerald Can you not do skill dev during warm ups?

@TheHoopHerald Is this part of the skills development or just warm up? That's the main question, i'd wager this is just reps/warm up for pros, real work is in simulating game situations

@RirieBulldogsAD Thank you.

It hasn’t been released yet, however, the athletic directors of the 6A classification created and approved of it before sending it to the board. We will be seeing more information about this being released throughout this year as a way to train everyone as to how it’s going to work.

I am in Idaho Falls at the Mountain America Center for the September IHSAA Board of Directors meeting. I will have updates as the meeting moves along. The big topics today: - Classification Petition approvals/denials - Final Reading on adding in the Kibbie Dome to the State Wrestling rotation. - Final Reading on the proposed Playoff Expansion. #IDPreps

@RirieBulldogsAD Thanks for covering. Do we know what the 6A bracket looks like that was approved?

Final Reading: Rule 2-5 Representation This is the playoff expansion proposal. This rule applies to volleyball, soccer, basketball, and softball. Here is a screen shot of the new proposed rule itself. 6A is NOT included in this. An alternate 6A bracket has already been approved. The individual sports will remain as is with representation. Football brackets will be capped at 12 teams total. If you are in a 2-team conference, you will get an automatic berth to a play-in game. If you are ranked in the Top 8 of MaxPreps rankings, you will earn a berth to state. This will VASTLY change how state tournaments are conducted in the state of Idaho. This will also change the end dates for district tournaments as they will now need to be earlier than they have been previously to accommodate for the state play-in games. #IDPreps
