Hawkeyes hit the practice floor.

Defensive work first at Iowa.

Nebraska "X" option where the shooter can pick a screen towards the top of the key or corner 🙅‍♂️:

Fred Hoiberg ran this a lot with the Bulls & Jimmy Butler. Called “L.” Shooter can use the screen to the corner or the other to the top.

🏀Halfcourt Offense🏀 Chase Action involves “chasing” your pass into standstill handoff action Why Use & When? ✔️Exchange is cleaner while not dribbling and can fake & attack easier ✔️Pass to player not being guarded (non-shooter) ✔️Initial passer is defended tightly or denied

Rim line help defense is always a tough balancing act On the one hand, you need to be there to: - Protect the basket - Tag/bump cutters - Be the backline communicator On the other hand, a smart team will bury excessive rim line help with flair and exit screens just like this

👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿 there is always someone out there who will see the greatness in you. Proud of you !! Next step my guyy❗️❗️

O: Spacing in transition, spacing in the half court. D: Stance and positioning High focus practice areas, things that will never go out of style.

love this seen this at UCONN WBB practice as well.

11 Essential Upper Body Exercises & Workouts for Basketball Players The upper body is involved in various movements in basketball. For instance, all areas of the shoulder require strength and coordination to shoot, pass, or dribble. The upper body is further used to block shots, bring down rebounds, drive through traffic, and protect the ball. Ideally, basketball strength training should focus on developing the legs and the core, as well as the chest, shoulders, and back. So, what are the best upper body exercises for basketball players? Give these 11 a try from the Cody Roberts Athletic Development Program!

Early in my coaching career I had a talented player who was chronically five minutes late to everything. Not egregiously late. Just five minutes, every single time. I let it slide because he was good and I didn’t want the conflict. Within a month, half the team was showing up five minutes late. Nobody said a word. The standard just drifted. That’s when it hit me. You’re either actively maintaining your standards or you’re passively lowering them. There’s no neutral position. I’ve also learned that expectations and standards aren’t the same thing, and that distinction matters more than most people realize. Expectations are the vision. The why. In my programs they’ve always been simple. Have fun. Create great experiences and relationships. Learn and grow. That’s the emotional foundation everything else gets built on. Standards are the daily behaviors that actually get you there. Be on time. Be trustworthy. Have a growth mindset and work hard. Take responsibility for your actions. Encourage the people around you. Don’t make excuses. When those are clear and consistent something interesting happens. The standard becomes the authority, not the coach. I don’t have to lecture anyone. I just point to what we all agreed on. The conversation stays about the behavior, not the person. That’s where real accountability lives without anyone feeling attacked. What I’ve seen over 25 years is that the teams, families, and programs that define these things clearly and hold them consistently almost always outperform the ones with similar talent that don’t. It’s not magic. It’s just clarity. People do better when they know exactly where the lines are. Kids especially. They don’t struggle in high standard environments. They struggle in ambiguous ones. Whatever you walk past becomes your new standard. The good news is it works in both directions. Raise the bar and hold it, and the people around you will rise to meet it. Every time.

How about this look from the 'ol boys in Ames! Great way to go against pressure: - Play to the single side. - Exit on the backside. - Potential slip when the defense loads up.

Indiana Stagger Curl with a Post Up Ghost screen…stagger…post-up..popping player curls off the 2nd screener Defender trails (guarding a shooter) & high spacing on the opposite wing led to no help being below FT line Offensive Spacing is SO important.

Not everyone on your team needs to be excellent in ball screens on offense. Sometimes it's okay to have a "QB" or a "Fixer" for your offense. If you have someone that's elite in ball screens, that can be your "fixer". I think we think a lot of times that everyone needs to be "positionless" when in reality, it might be best to just put players in roles where their strengths can shine brightest. youtu.be/_NTuuzbVRFw

Need a Layup vs the 1-3-1? Run This If you coach long enough, you’ll run into the 1-3-1 zone that completely stalls your offense. Passes get tipped, the ball doesn’t break the arc, and suddenly your players are playing hesitantly instead of attacking. That’s why it helps to have one quick-hitting play you can call at any point in the game — something simple to teach, easy for players to remember, and designed to produce what every coach wants against a zone: an immediate layup look. Here’s a go-to quick hitter from The Complete Zone Offense Blueprint with Ryan Schultz, you can install fast and use the next time a 1-3-1 tries to speed you up. @CedarFallsHoops
