@CoachWheel Play the game to get better at the game.

Most kids don’t learn basketball skills from instructions. They learn from games that force decisions. In this one: When I touch a cone… he attacks. Now he has to: • read space • create separation • finish No overcoaching required. Save this for future backyard games.

@Coach_Sizemore_ persistence overrides resistance

Discipline > Motivation

@thegarybrecka let's go old man, move it or lose it.

When you really don’t feel like working out… what do you tell yourself to still go?

@ukbear03 Flopping is an epidemic in youth basketball.

Players at every level. Everytime you fall down on the floor you put your team at a disadvantage! Quit falling down..

@Don_K_Williams go to class

A player was at a 2 win D2 school. 2.1 GPA Total for the season of 80 min Playing Time He says the level of the team is too low for him and wants to transfer to a higher D1 level school. What’s your advice for him?

@CoachHurls Did this with u9 /10 today and kids started going backdoor cuts for open layups. They didn't make many of the layups, but the problem solving was awesome.

3v3 no dribble is so great. Teaches movement, cutting, screening away, etc… I saw a huge growth with my 8th grade team this year. These are kids who just joined this year. They know how to cut and when. We did this drill every day.

@Toohey_sp 1 compete 2 decision making 3 skills

Parents spend hundreds on private soccer and basketball trainers just to have kids run cone drills and random conditioning. These sports don’t demand memorization drills. They’re full of affordances that require athletes to perceive, adapt, and react.

@brianmccormick @BrandonBigsby_ The flag for clipping!

@BrandonBigsby_ Can someone explain why this is a bad call? I see a girl diving into another girl’s legs. What am I missing?

If a call is this egregiously bad, then I don’t have any problem a coach doing this. Officials are rarely held accountable as is, and they can hand out techs and ejections at will. This is too ridiculous of a call to not deserve to get an earful from a coach. On court or not.

@HillierGerard more decision making

AGREE 💯

@JPR_25 play

If I had 45 minutes with a U10 group… Here’s exactly how I’d structure it. No lines. No lectures. Maximum engagement. 👇

@coachk6463 run first run always.

My best fast-breaking teams weren’t my most athletic They were the teams that could play at their top functional speed for all 32 minutes Opposing coaches called them “relentless” - the highest compliment a running team can earn

@grbball_1 Keep it simple. Play lots of tag, then add a ball.

What actually makes a player shifty 🤔 It’s these 5 things used together or at different times. 1. Being Twitchy 2. High-Low Body movement 3. Shoulder to knee (not literally, but force your chest over your knee) 4. Playing with angles 5. Hard stops & pauses Get in the gym and get shifty🔥

@PowerBruteHQ Not without a proper diet

If You Do 60...

@reidouse More times than not can create with a blast cut. Boring but effective.

Advantage basketball is about timing, not tricks. It's not fancy. Just quick, boring decisions over and over again.

@GregBerge Compete

❓ for Coaches. If you had to build a team culture around one word, what would it be and why?

@CoachONeil_PE Nice!

Saw this hack from someone else on instagram (forgot the person 😬) but it was a game changer! #physed #pe #basketball #elementarype #peteacher

@rmounce1 Add no pass back, to move defenders, create spacing for screenaway / blast cuts.

Warm Up Today: 5v5 “No Dribble” Full CRT. D must double team at all times. Game to 4. All scores =1. Drill promotes: ball movement =passing. Trapping, Rotating, playing out of space. D loses point if they do not trap. 5 min on ⏰. If time left play a 2nd game to a lower score.

@byanymeansbball starting and stopping one of the top skills needed for invasion sports.

4) Body control is a fundamental. With more space and pace at every level comes more high-speed collisions, chaotic decelerations, and quick adjustments. We need to train outside of players' comfort zones, challenge their coordination, and build them as movers, because in today's game, there's far more room for expression of these qualities.

The game is evolving at EVERY level, not just the NBA. If we're not developing players for the modern game, we're doing them a disservice. Here are a few ways we've shifted our perspective in recent years to grow our player development with the game: ⬇️

@DRIVEBasketball @OrenWeisfeld Thats awesome. Played with Sherm's brother Conrad at George Brown College in 89-90.

Watching some 2000 Canada games after reading @OrenWeisfeld book. Canada is essentially running Spurs motion weak and Nash, Hamilton and Barrett are putting on a masterclass of using screens. Misdirections, start and stops, hugging, rejecting, curls/fades. High level IQ.

@reidouse and decision making

The easiest way to improve offense is to improve spacing, not play design.
