The Smart Way to Consume Basketball Content (Ep. 11) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There's more free basketball content available right now than at any point in history — and most coaches are worse for it. This episode is about the split between learning and installing: consume everything you can get your hands on, then put almost none of it in your practice plan. Here's how to decide what makes the cut.
Why I Don't Like 5v0 (Ep. 10) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Walk into any of my practices and there's a good chance you'll never see 5 guys run our offense against air. Not because I'm trying to be contrarian. Because I finally asked what the rep was actually training, and the honest answer was: memory. 5v0 is a good way to start an install and a bad way to continue one. It's a map. Most of us have been treating it like it's EVERYTHING. In this episode:- The real case FOR 5v0 (it exists, it's just short) - Why the rep is missing perception + decision - W
Coaching Is an Economics Problem (Ep. 9) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This is a nerdy episode. Coaching is a resource allocation problem. You get a limited amount of minutes in a season. Every drill you run has a price. In this episode I take the economics I teach in AP Micro and point it at the practice plan. In this episode: - What opportunity cost actually means (and why most coaches have never once priced a drill) - Why most practice plans sit inside the curve - Marginal thinking: stop evaluating categories, start evaluating increments - Sunk cost and the syst
I Misunderstood CLA As A Young Coach (Ep. 8) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When I first started off coaching, I made the mistake of equating CLA to Small-Sided Games. If you'd asked me what constraints-led coaching was, I'd have told you it meant playing 3v3 instead of 5v5. Just cut the numbers, roll the ball out, and let the game teach. I thought the two were the same thing. They're not. And that one misunderstanding held my skill development work back for longer than I'd like to admit. In this episode I break down what most coaches think constraints-led coaching is v
What is Skill? (Ep. 7) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Everybody in basketball throws around the word "skilled" but almost nobody stops to define it. In this episode, I make the case that most of what we call skill isn't skill at all. We've been taught that skill is the bag: the moves, the mechanics, the tight handle, the clean form. So we chase it with more reps, more trainers, more cone drills. And then we're confused when the kid who cooks in the gym disappears the second a live defender shows up on Saturday. I want to flip that whole idea on its
