SPEAKER_01: coaching, Mark Cascio.
0:08
SPEAKER_01: Coach, great to see you.
0:11
SPEAKER_00: Thanks for having me back, man.
0:12
SPEAKER_01: Early season here,
0:14
and I'm trying to think through some things that my team's even
0:18
kind of working
0:19
SPEAKER_01: through,
0:19
SPEAKER_01: but then
0:20
questions get frequently from coaches talking primarily today
0:24
about offense and i
0:25
wanted to talk about some of the things conceptual offense wise
0:30
that you end up
0:31
finding yourself addressing with coaches that you work with but
0:35
then also like as
0:36
you coached you know when we talk conceptually frequently it
0:41
goes back and should
0:42
SPEAKER_01: go back to spacing advantage and then shot selection
0:47
SPEAKER_01: As I'm watching those clips,
0:49
SPEAKER_01: what to watch for,
0:50
SPEAKER_01: what to look for,
0:51
some things that you found commonly that coaches are having to
0:55
address or maybe
0:56
that they should be looking for that may not necessarily fix
1:00
their offense,
1:01
SPEAKER_01: but will at least improve it.
1:03
Or like I said,
1:04
things that they can kind of be alert to to alert their team
1:07
to.
1:07
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I'll give you a quick checklist for when watching film.
1:12
SPEAKER_00: Spacing, where you started, right?
1:16
SPEAKER_00: Ball movement,
1:16
SPEAKER_00: player movement,
1:17
and then shot selection would be just like the four areas that
1:21
I'd really key into.
1:23
But if I was going to just pick like things that we should
1:25
really be looking for
1:26
SPEAKER_00: first and foremost,
1:28
SPEAKER_00: I'm not going to give you these sexy answers, unfortunately.
1:31
SPEAKER_00: It's probably not going to come as a shock,
1:32
SPEAKER_00: but I will start in transition,
1:34
SPEAKER_00: and that's just bolting.
1:37
What I mean by bolting is just how quickly do we convert and
1:40
get out of what we
1:41
SPEAKER_00: call the dead zone.
1:42
The dead zone is a three-point line and in on the area that
1:46
you're defending.
1:47
So as soon as we have that change of possession,
1:49
whether it's make or miss,
1:50
we want same pace.
1:51
SPEAKER_00: And the first way to build pace is just get your team to convert quickly.
1:54
SPEAKER_00: No standing around,
1:55
SPEAKER_00: no watching,
1:56
SPEAKER_00: clear rolls so we can bolt out of the dead zone,
1:59
SPEAKER_00: try to create advantage in our first three steps.
2:01
I find a lot of coaches that run conceptual offense like to
2:04
pair it with transition and pace.
2:06
SPEAKER_00: And then as I watch films, like, gosh, your players are jogging, right?
2:10
SPEAKER_00: They're not committed to pace.
2:12
SPEAKER_00: And as a coach, it's your job to do that.
2:14
SPEAKER_00: Like we all –
2:16
every coach has gone to the clinic and heard the coaches say
2:18
yeah your players want
2:18
to play fast until you know they realize what it takes to play
2:21
fast so i start with
2:23
bolting and uh and that's going to go to like maybe what
2:26
becomes a through line in
2:27
today's conversation is reads first and instead of starting
2:32
with technique or
2:33
starting with like high detailed teaching because every first
2:38
practices is usually
2:39
SPEAKER_00: the coach talking a lot and the players
2:41
listening a lot not executing what the coach just said and then
2:45
uh you know there's
2:47
some frustration there we got to go backwards so uh just work
2:49
on the read it's like
2:50
all right possession changed how quickly do we convert even if
2:53
we're not converting
2:54
in the right spots but if you get them bolting that's going to
2:57
lead me to my second
2:58
thing to look for and you said it spacing like do we arrive
3:01
spaced in transition
3:02
because that's going to give you a chance to one take advantage
3:05
of any advantage
3:07
SPEAKER_00: that you actually create by bolting and playing in transition
3:09
SPEAKER_00: But two, it's going to give you a chance to flow into your offense.
3:13
And then I guess I'll give you some pain points that I've seen
3:17
for coaches.
3:18
SPEAKER_00: I'll give you two here.
3:20
SPEAKER_00: This first one's going to be around spacing.
3:23
SPEAKER_00: Usually a coach reaches out.
3:24
SPEAKER_00: They're running conceptual offense, so they're not dictating behaviors.
3:27
SPEAKER_00: It's not rule-based.
3:28
SPEAKER_00: You run there, you run here.
3:30
SPEAKER_00: It's,
3:30
SPEAKER_00: hey,
3:30
SPEAKER_00: we've got some choices,
3:31
SPEAKER_00: and we're all kind of using our shared cognition to play off each other.
3:35
SPEAKER_00: You got to be able to reshape the floor.
3:37
SPEAKER_00: You got to be able to exit cut.
3:38
SPEAKER_00: You got to be able to blast into spots.
3:40
SPEAKER_00: I highly recommend coaches putting X's down.
3:43
SPEAKER_00: I've always done that.
3:44
SPEAKER_00: I've heard coaches be like,
3:45
SPEAKER_00: man,
3:45
SPEAKER_00: I don't want to be like,
3:46
SPEAKER_00: you know,
3:47
SPEAKER_00: the youth coach that put X's down.
3:49
SPEAKER_00: Like, bro, like no shame.
3:51
SPEAKER_00: Put the X's down.
3:52
SPEAKER_00: Like you got to get your team to space the floor.
3:53
SPEAKER_00: Give them an X, Y coordinate that they can latch on to.
3:56
And if you because if you can't reshape the floor,
3:59
you can't get back in your action.
4:01
SPEAKER_00: One more thing on spacing.
4:03
SPEAKER_00: If you're well-spaced, that is an advantage in today's game.
4:07
SPEAKER_00: If you can stretch the defense vertically,
4:09
SPEAKER_00: horizontally,
4:09
SPEAKER_00: if you can play at the four-point line,
4:11
SPEAKER_00: automatically you're asking defense to cover a lot of space.
4:15
Offense always has the inherent advantage over defense because
4:19
it's actor versus
4:20
SPEAKER_00: reactor relationship.
4:21
SPEAKER_00: Action's always faster than reaction.
4:23
But if you're not well-spaced,
4:25
you're actually playing at a disadvantage.
4:26
So it's really hard to get to that second principle of play
4:29
that you talked about,
4:30
SPEAKER_00: which is advantage.
4:31
SPEAKER_00: So spacing, advantage, shot selection.
4:33
SPEAKER_00: We can't get to advantage if we can't first start with spacing.
4:36
So reshaping the floor is going to allow you to do anything in
4:39
your offense.
4:39
SPEAKER_00: But if you're not at those,
4:41
SPEAKER_00: let's just call them Xs,
4:42
SPEAKER_00: whatever spots in your offense that you're running,
4:44
SPEAKER_00: you can't get back into anything when neutral,
4:47
SPEAKER_00: which last point,
4:48
SPEAKER_00: I know this is a long answer to your question.
4:51
SPEAKER_00: Second pain point is teams not recognizing neutral,
4:55
SPEAKER_00: meaning offense,
4:57
SPEAKER_00: defense,
4:57
SPEAKER_00: neither one has an advantage.
4:58
We need an action to create advantage plays or like five people
5:02
all do this,
5:03
SPEAKER_00: like one job to create a shot.
5:05
SPEAKER_00: We want to run an action which gets defense in the coverage.
5:08
SPEAKER_00: We get defense in the coverage.
5:09
SPEAKER_00: Now we're an advantage game.
5:10
SPEAKER_00: What I see across the board,
5:13
especially in early adopters of like you're an early conceptual
5:16
offense coach,
5:17
what you're going to find is when you play with advantage and
5:22
you lose that
5:22
SPEAKER_00: advantage,
5:23
SPEAKER_00: your team's going to play like they still have the advantage,
5:25
SPEAKER_00: which means head down,
5:26
SPEAKER_00: play one on one,
5:27
SPEAKER_00: drive single gaps,
5:28
SPEAKER_00: try to make tough plays off the bounce.
5:31
SPEAKER_00: And most of the time coaches think like,
5:32
SPEAKER_00: gosh,
5:33
SPEAKER_00: our players are selfish or they just like don't want to run the offense.
5:36
SPEAKER_00: Usually it's they don't know what to do.
5:38
SPEAKER_00: And what do basketball players do when they don't know what to do?
5:40
SPEAKER_00: They dribble.
5:41
SPEAKER_00: So one, spacing.
5:43
SPEAKER_00: Two, reshaping, which means just reshape to your spacing template.
5:48
SPEAKER_00: Three, can your team recognize neutral?
5:51
SPEAKER_00: And I would recommend coaches give them an action,
5:53
SPEAKER_00: a singular action that,
5:54
SPEAKER_00: hey,
5:55
SPEAKER_00: when we're neutral,
5:56
SPEAKER_00: we do this.
5:57
SPEAKER_00: If you can get your teams to do that,
5:59
SPEAKER_00: then you can layer any additional actions,
6:01
SPEAKER_00: triggers,
6:01
SPEAKER_00: and series on top of that.
6:03
SPEAKER_01: Mentioning the marks on the floor, that's been helpful for film.
6:06
To be able to have that reference point to go back and see like
6:09
how close we are to
6:10
SPEAKER_01: that,
6:11
SPEAKER_01: those spots,
6:12
SPEAKER_01: whatever you do,
6:13
if you do the locks in the corner with the box and then X's
6:15
with your slots or
6:16
SPEAKER_01: whatever,
6:17
SPEAKER_01: and how close then players are we to those actual spots,
6:21
SPEAKER_01: as I found to be a help.
6:23
SPEAKER_00: I was real fast on that.
6:26
SPEAKER_00: I talked about the coach's job to push the pace.
6:28
SPEAKER_00: It's the coach's job to make sure they're on the X's too.
6:30
Like before you start a drill or a game activity,
6:33
just,
6:34
hey,
6:34
Tony,
6:35
one step to your right.
6:36
SPEAKER_00: Like get two feet on that X. That's why they're there.
6:39
SPEAKER_00: Like those are your magnets that should draw you there.
6:41
SPEAKER_00: I would put big X's in our main spots.
6:44
SPEAKER_00: Our main spots are corners and action spots.
6:46
And then we have auxiliary spots like the wide spot or stretch
6:49
or the dunker spot.
6:51
SPEAKER_00: you know,
6:51
SPEAKER_00: any other,
6:51
like maybe it's top of the key or like playing through a plug
6:54
or home base.
6:55
Those would be our smaller spots because we usually get there
6:58
when we're bumped
6:59
SPEAKER_00: there or we shift the series there.
7:01
SPEAKER_00: So big X's, small X's can also help.
7:03
SPEAKER_01: It's crazy how just one or two steps can make such a huge difference,
7:07
SPEAKER_01: like two or three dribbles down the road.
7:10
SPEAKER_01: It may not look like a difference when it starts,
7:12
but as soon as you take one bounce or two bounce and you get a
7:15
little contact that
7:16
SPEAKER_01: puts you off the line,
7:17
SPEAKER_01: then now all of a sudden you find yourself driving a single gap and
7:20
SPEAKER_01: There's a lot of problems that result from that.
7:22
SPEAKER_01: Going back to the pace thing,
7:24
is there anything like constraints or anything that you do for
7:28
coaches like we're
7:29
SPEAKER_01: trying to get over in three seconds so we time that or whatever?
7:32
SPEAKER_00: We call it the four second push,
7:33
SPEAKER_00: which we want to get the ball across half court in four seconds or less,
7:36
SPEAKER_00: whether it's a make or miss.
7:38
SPEAKER_00: You know, first way is to get your team to bolt, right?
7:40
Like we got to have people up ahead of the ball that we can
7:43
either pitch ahead or
7:44
SPEAKER_00: that they can just stretch the defense and create space.
7:47
know offense really turns into create space attack space pass
7:50
into space like those
7:51
are just like principles of spacing on offense so can we get
7:55
space can we run wide
7:56
first bolt wide then bolt deep and i think clearly defined
8:01
roles really helps that
8:02
so um and there's there's a lot of different ways to do it you
8:06
know some people do
8:06
the first closest person inbound uh some people designate one
8:11
player to inbound
8:12
SPEAKER_00: i've had a lot of success with designating two we
8:15
SPEAKER_00: This all,
8:16
SPEAKER_00: my conceptual offense journey,
8:17
SPEAKER_00: well,
8:17
SPEAKER_00: I was going to say started with dribble drive,
8:19
SPEAKER_00: really started with true five-out motion.
8:21
SPEAKER_00: But then we went different type of conceptual offense with dribble drive,
8:26
SPEAKER_00: and Vance used to play with the one and the five as his two-point guards.
8:29
SPEAKER_00: I've always just...
8:30
I've always liked having my two best ball handlers as what we
8:33
just call rackers now.
8:34
So closest racker,
8:35
if Tony and I are the rackers,
8:37
if he's closer,
8:38
he's going to inbound.
8:39
SPEAKER_00: If he can get it before it hits the ground, that's ideal.
8:42
SPEAKER_00: He rolls out to his right.
8:43
SPEAKER_00: So now I'm the outlet racker.
8:45
SPEAKER_00: Like I'm playing like the true racker spot.
8:47
Tony would be the trail where I know that the ball is always
8:51
going to go to the right side.
8:52
SPEAKER_00: So if I'm on the right side,
8:53
SPEAKER_00: I'm going out of the dead zone,
8:54
SPEAKER_00: try to get my outlet as deep as possible.
8:56
SPEAKER_00: If I'm on the left side,
8:58
SPEAKER_00: I'm going to,
8:58
people call it banana cut or C cut or sweep through and try to
9:02
get that catch on
9:03
SPEAKER_00: the run,
9:04
SPEAKER_00: going up the floor outside the dead zone.
9:06
SPEAKER_01: We tried something,
9:07
SPEAKER_01: OCD coaches,
9:08
SPEAKER_01: I would not suggest this,
9:09
SPEAKER_01: but we tried something where I did constraint,
9:12
SPEAKER_01: you can't dribble a ball over half court,
9:14
SPEAKER_01: otherwise it's a turnover.
9:15
And it made for very sloppy possessions and actual things that
9:18
I didn't want to
9:19
SPEAKER_01: happen in the game,
9:20
SPEAKER_01: but I didn't care at that point.
9:22
SPEAKER_01: Throw the ball across half court.
9:24
That week we threw the ball across half court in the games and
9:27
it created so many
9:28
SPEAKER_01: more advantages early on for us.
9:30
But again,
9:31
if we have a little bit more time to kind of like play with
9:34
something like that.
9:34
SPEAKER_01: So coaches,
9:35
SPEAKER_01: you may feel like that's building a bad habit,
9:36
SPEAKER_01: but something to try and it's something that helped out with us.
9:39
SPEAKER_00: Yeah,
9:40
one thing that's helped us with the four-second push too is on
9:42
a miss is be your
9:43
SPEAKER_00: own outlet,
9:43
SPEAKER_00: right?
9:44
SPEAKER_00: Don't always look for the racker.
9:46
To develop players to be their own outlet where they're going
9:48
to break out of the
9:50
SPEAKER_00: dead zone with the dribble looking up has been just the opposite.
9:54
You can't pass the ball across half court,
9:56
which we wouldn't want that in a game either,
9:58
right?
9:58
We want a nice blend of both,
10:00
our racker crossing the street,
10:02
also pitching ahead to advantage.
10:04
But that's going to develop players to be their own outlet and
10:08
make them handle the
10:09
SPEAKER_00: ball across half court.
10:10
SPEAKER_00: Will it be ugly?
10:10
SPEAKER_00: Like you said, yeah, absolutely.
10:12
SPEAKER_00: But we love Messi.
10:13
SPEAKER_00: Messi means that you're getting better.
10:14
SPEAKER_00: If your team is struggling with something, that means they're growing.
10:17
SPEAKER_00: It means they're being challenged.
10:18
SPEAKER_00: It means like they're in that optimal zone of,
10:21
SPEAKER_00: hey,
10:21
SPEAKER_00: we're stretching them right past their skill level.
10:24
And then we just keep moving the benchmark just like we would
10:26
in the weight room.

11:17
SPEAKER_01: You talked before about the over-dribblers.
11:20
SPEAKER_01: Maybe it's not even an over dribbler.
11:22
It may even just be the mentality that I've developed where
11:26
pass catch attack.
11:27
SPEAKER_01: And so they're putting their head down.
11:29
SPEAKER_01: But from time to time,
11:30
we'll have guys who do struggle with recognizing an early help
11:34
or a second body
11:35
SPEAKER_01: that they've drawn.
11:36
SPEAKER_01: Anything that you can suggest, maybe help with that.
11:39
SPEAKER_00: Man, terminology just helps so much.
11:41
SPEAKER_00: In fact,
11:41
I'm coaching a team right now and just bringing in some
11:45
terminology as our growth
11:47
SPEAKER_00: is just exponential in these first few practices.
11:50
SPEAKER_00: We're only two practices in.
11:51
SPEAKER_00: Just clarifying some things.
11:54
You can see the neurons processing in their brain of just like,
11:57
oh,
11:57
well,
11:58
that makes sense.
11:58
SPEAKER_00: I can do that.
11:59
SPEAKER_00: So first, I would say let's use hunt instead of drive.
12:04
When players hear drive,
12:05
they think dribble,
12:06
but hunt is like we're hunting nines with the ball.
12:09
SPEAKER_00: A nine is a big advantage layup or a wide open layup.
12:12
SPEAKER_00: So with the ball,
12:13
SPEAKER_00: if we've created space for you,
12:15
SPEAKER_00: it's time for you to attack that space with a hunt for a nine.
12:18
If you're not doing that,
12:19
you're just dribbling and we don't want to just dribble the
12:21
ball.
12:23
SPEAKER_00: And without the ball, you're hunting space.
12:24
SPEAKER_00: So you got four players hunting space, not the ball.
12:27
SPEAKER_00: You know what usually happens at the youth level.
12:30
And I would even say like at the high school level,
12:31
too,
12:31
is everybody just runs to the ball.
12:33
SPEAKER_00: They want the ball, ball, ball.
12:34
Well,
12:35
no,
12:35
you hunt space so your teammate can attack space and hunt a
12:38
nine.
12:38
SPEAKER_00: So that'd be the first thing.
12:40
SPEAKER_00: And then I would break down.
12:41
SPEAKER_00: I think we're going now in like more player development, right?
12:43
Like I put the ball on the ground and there's some open dudes
12:45
or dudettes around me
12:46
SPEAKER_00: and I can't find them.
12:48
SPEAKER_00: We broke down our reads into catch reads,
12:51
SPEAKER_00: drive reads,
12:52
SPEAKER_00: and then finishing reads or smile reads if you got a restricted area.
12:55
SPEAKER_00: So catch reads is playing off the catch.
12:57
SPEAKER_00: That's your shoot it, drive it, or move it.
12:58
SPEAKER_00: Like you said, in this example, we drive it on the catch.
13:02
SPEAKER_00: So now the ball's on the floor.
13:03
SPEAKER_00: We're now in drive reads.
13:05
SPEAKER_00: So now we're reading our on-ball defender first.
13:08
SPEAKER_00: Do I have shoulder?
13:08
SPEAKER_00: Do I have chest?
13:09
SPEAKER_00: If I have shoulder, I keep going.
13:10
SPEAKER_00: Let's assume that's the case.
13:12
SPEAKER_00: So I've had small advantage.
13:14
I'm now,
13:14
my eyes go to secondary defender and I'm reading shoulder chest
13:17
there.
13:18
SPEAKER_00: I have found most of the time, in this case, it's a vision thing.
13:22
SPEAKER_00: You know,
13:22
SPEAKER_00: usually putting on the floor,
13:24
SPEAKER_00: playing through contact,
13:26
SPEAKER_00: our eyes have a tendency to go down.
13:27
SPEAKER_00: But we called those passes early easies.
13:30
SPEAKER_00: And I got those off of I don't know what coach it was,
13:33
SPEAKER_00: what podcast it was,
13:34
SPEAKER_00: might have been yours.
13:35
SPEAKER_00: But a coach was talking about early easy.
13:37
I used to call those quick pitches,
13:38
but I like early easy because it's alliteration.
13:40
SPEAKER_00: And it's just like, hey, take the easy pass.
13:42
You know,
13:42
a big principle that's really helped our offense is pass the
13:46
first open player.
13:47
SPEAKER_00: Like if somebody's open, let's not bypass that.
13:50
let's keep the ball moving when we move the ball we move the
13:52
defense gives us a
13:52
chance to to get back into another action so i would work dry
13:56
reads there and a big
13:57
part of decision making that i would ask coaches to evaluate
14:00
themselves in is are
14:02
SPEAKER_00: we training the eyes are we telling them
14:05
SPEAKER_00: where to look and then what to look for.
14:08
SPEAKER_00: So I just kind of went through that.
14:09
SPEAKER_00: It's like where to look, your defender, then secondary defender.
14:12
SPEAKER_00: What am I looking for?
14:13
SPEAKER_00: I'm looking for shoulder chest.
14:14
SPEAKER_00: If I see shoulder, I keep going.
14:16
SPEAKER_00: If I see chest, I early, easy, I pitch it.
14:19
SPEAKER_00: So what to look for.
14:21
where to look what to look for and then you can start to get to
14:24
like how to write
14:25
that would be like the next level like how do i write this
14:28
situation for myself how
14:30
can i manipulate my one ball defender to the left so i can get
14:33
to my right and then
14:34
how do i attack this secondary defender so he commits to me so
14:37
i can pitch it or
14:38
vice versa so it's kind of the progression that would go but i
14:40
think the short
14:41
answer would be catch reads drive reads finishing reads break
14:46
it down into those
14:46
SPEAKER_00: and train those daily
14:48
I found that it is oftentimes difficult to completely generate
14:52
your offense from
14:53
SPEAKER_01: hunting the paint.
14:54
And so I will frequently get questions regarding like,
14:57
what do I do with my post player?
14:59
SPEAKER_01: There either seems to be like this overemphasis on getting in the ball.
15:02
Like we're just going to shove it in there as the only way that
15:05
we feel that we can
15:06
SPEAKER_01: throw it down to the corner,
15:07
SPEAKER_01: then throw it in there.
15:08
Or it's,
15:09
they just kind of like disappear and they maybe get a dump off
15:12
here and there.
15:13
If there's nothing else from the perimeter that we can,
15:15
we can generate offense from.
15:17
SPEAKER_01: how can you better involve your post players or what,
15:19
SPEAKER_01: what,
15:19
SPEAKER_01: what ways do you all involve your post players?
15:22
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it's a good question.
15:23
SPEAKER_00: Obviously it depends on their skillset,
15:25
SPEAKER_00: but I know in conversations like this,
15:27
SPEAKER_00: let's just say like blanket approach,
15:28
SPEAKER_00: we just got a post player.
15:29
SPEAKER_00: That's let's say right in the middle.
15:31
SPEAKER_00: Like they're not, they're not featured, but they're not a liability.
15:34
SPEAKER_00: We played with the principle,
15:35
SPEAKER_00: like normal dribble drive rules,
15:37
SPEAKER_00: coaches are probably familiar with,
15:38
SPEAKER_00: uh,
15:39
you're getting opposite of the drive and that goes into when
15:42
somebody's hunting a
15:42
SPEAKER_00: nine,
15:43
SPEAKER_00: you're hunting space,
15:43
SPEAKER_00: right?
15:44
So we're going to move in relation to our teammate and the ball
15:46
to hunt space.
15:48
SPEAKER_00: And that's off the dribble.
15:49
SPEAKER_00: We played different off the pass.
15:50
If I ever passed to your side,
15:53
that was your trigger to duck in or to post up.
15:55
And we're going to try to now feed you because I think good
15:58
offense has a blend of
16:00
SPEAKER_00: drive and kick,
16:00
SPEAKER_00: which we obviously have a healthy dose of.
16:04
post feeds and then cutting and screening and i like a blend of
16:07
all three of those
16:08
things in fact i would say post feeds is probably the easiest
16:11
way to flatten the
16:12
defense and bring two to the ball like you want to create some
16:14
gravity throw it by
16:15
SPEAKER_00: the rim i was watching duke kansas last night and um they were doing like
16:20
SPEAKER_00: Duke was hard hedging ball screens.
16:22
SPEAKER_00: And I was just kind of like,
16:24
I'm curious to see how many teams are hard hedging these days
16:26
because you just have
16:27
SPEAKER_00: to engage that third defender so much.
16:29
SPEAKER_00: I'm a bigger fan of guarding the ball screen with two.
16:32
SPEAKER_00: Kansas,
16:33
SPEAKER_00: even when they didn't score off of it,
16:35
SPEAKER_00: they were able to hit the roller,
16:37
SPEAKER_00: get it a foot away from the rim,
16:38
SPEAKER_00: and then you just instantly had like four Duke defenders all around them.
16:41
SPEAKER_00: And they were a good job of being really, really active.
16:43
but then it was just like kick down up over like getting
16:46
something good off of that
16:47
and all you gotta do is just throw it in there so that was our
16:49
principle of just
16:50
like how to get them some touches and some opportunities but
16:54
not hey just like look
16:56
to post up when you can or you know like we want to give them
16:59
very clear triggers
17:00
SPEAKER_00: on like hey
17:01
SPEAKER_00: When should you space?
17:02
SPEAKER_00: When should you look for the ball?
17:03
SPEAKER_00: And then I love blending four out and five out.
17:07
So I would also blend in a trigger or two or three of how do we
17:11
get you to the
17:11
perimeter so we can now play through you a little bit and get
17:14
X5 away from the
17:15
SPEAKER_00: basket,
17:16
SPEAKER_00: get the ball in your hands,
17:17
SPEAKER_00: away from the rim.
17:18
SPEAKER_00: But again, through clear triggers.
17:20
SPEAKER_00: So we got this nice balance of four out,
17:23
SPEAKER_00: drive and kick,
17:24
SPEAKER_00: four out,
17:25
SPEAKER_00: playing through the low post,
17:26
SPEAKER_00: but also five out and lifting that post out.
17:28
SPEAKER_01: Before I let you go, what's happened with Savvy?
17:31
SPEAKER_00: We got weekly consulting calls.
17:34
SPEAKER_00: They've been great lately.
17:36
SPEAKER_00: Coaches are getting into practice,
17:38
SPEAKER_00: so they're asking a lot of practice questions,
17:39
SPEAKER_00: game prep questions.
17:41
We've got a new offensive course that our coaches are going
17:43
through where Tyler and
17:44
SPEAKER_00: I combined race and space and drive and space.
17:48
We say it's the best offensive system in the world just because
17:50
it's things that we
17:51
SPEAKER_00: love and things that we've taught.
17:53
And we just took the best of race and space,
17:55
the best of drive and space,
17:56
put it into one.
17:58
SPEAKER_00: We're really enjoying sharing that with our members.
18:00
