Slappin' Glass

Thank you so much to all the great coaches who’ve shared on the show and those who listen every week. It’s truly a joy to be a part of 🙏 Thank you @CJMooreHoops for the great write up in the @TheAthletic today about our story… nytimes.com/athletic/57031…

The best coaches I know stopped asking “what drill should I run?” They started asking “what does the environment need to teach today?” Years of building REPS in the gym. The 4 questions I run every practice through 🧵

At the highest levels, the separator isn’t always who has the best ideas. ICYMI last Sunday we looked at practice design, decision-rich drills, ecological design, 4v4 Build Down, and Play It Downs. 🗞newsletter.slappinglass.com/posts/designin…

@CoachingIdaho @CoachDrewD @EricFawcett_ Appreciate you! @CoachDrewD and @EricFawcett_ are fantastic.

@SlappinGlass @CoachDrewD @EricFawcett_ Assembling of the Dream Team continues. Happy for you, Drew. Congrats!

📣We’re excited to welcome @CoachDrewD to Slappin’ Glass. Drew is one of the most thoughtful coaches we’ve come across in the practice design and player development space, and his work has really pushed how we think about teaching, learning, and game transfer. Grateful to have him joining SG and excited for what’s ahead.

@Curley_Synergy @CoachDrewD @EricFawcett_ Lol for sure. Thanks Matt!

@SlappinGlass @CoachDrewD @EricFawcett_ Wisconsin + Canada! It's like you are building a team with my favorite places in mind! Keep kicking butt gang!

@Curley_Synergy @CoachDrewD @EricFawcett_ Thank you! @CoachDrewD and @EricFawcett_ are the best.

@SlappinGlass @CoachDrewD @EricFawcett_ This is so cool! Can’t wait to see what you guys produce all together!

We’ve spent a lot of time lately thinking about the space between studying the game and teaching the game. Film can show us what great teams are doing. But the next challenge is building the practice environments that help players see it, feel it, and own it. 👀Excited to share more tomorrow.

Interesting look at some of the X's and O's that new #Michigan basketball assistant coach Mody Maor will bring to Ann Arbor.

Definitely can see why Dusty May hired Mody Maor to fill his assistant coaching spot left by Justin Joyner. A true mastermind of the game.

Extremely excited that @umichbball hired Mody Maor. One of my all time favorite podcast guests on @SlappinGlass. Can’t wait to get to know him.

Practice time is limited. So the question becomes: how much can each segment actually teach? This week’s SG Newsletter looks at ways coaches are turning skill work, warmups, and concept development into decision-making environments — where players read, adapt, re-space, and solve in real time. 🗞newsletter.slappinglass.com/posts/designin…

Switching can shrink the game fast. The best offenses don’t just “get the matchup” and wait. They create the switch, organize the floor, and attack before the defense can load, scram, or triple switch back to neutral. This week’s SG Deep Dive: attacking switches with seals, stampedes, clears, flares, pitches, short rolls, and corner skips. Plus: how to teach the story behind the action so players understand the problem, not just the pattern. 🎧 Listen now podcasts.apple.com/de/podcast/sla…

At the highest levels, the separator isn’t always who has the best ideas. It’s who can teach, practice, and transfer those ideas when the game gets fast, physical, and unpredictable. This week’s SG Newsletter looks at practice design, decision-rich drills, ecological design, 4v4 Build Down, and Play It Downs. Helping players not just learn concepts — but own them. 🗞newsletter.slappinglass.com/posts/designin…

@Skellabrine Thank you!

Coaches if you haven’t you gotta follow these guys. Tactically incredible tons of great content on YouTube too. I'm a big fan

We spent this season using the Hudl suite to connect film, analytics, player playlists, and FastModel data around one key offensive emphasis:Improving our assist rate. From tracking the number, to building better habits, to using film to reinforce spacing, cutting, and finishing opportunities — this was a look inside how the tools helped shape the work.
