- 0:05Zachary Hopp is in his first year as the director of analytics
- 0:09and strategy for the
- 0:10SPEAKER_01: Arkansas State men's basketball team.
- 0:12SPEAKER_01: Prior to that,
- 0:13he was on the women's side at programs like Ole Miss and the
- 0:16University of Kansas.
- 0:17You may have seen him this summer even as part of the TBT of
- 0:20the Everline Drives coaching staff.
- 0:22SPEAKER_01: Coach, it's great to have you on the show.
- 0:25SPEAKER_00: Thanks, Coach.
- 0:25SPEAKER_00: I'm a big fan of your show.
- 0:26I've seen a lot of your stuff on social and watched a lot of
- 0:29YouTube videos,
- 0:30so it's a big honor just being able to be on your podcast and
- 0:33share a little bit of
- 0:34SPEAKER_00: what I've learned.
- 0:35SPEAKER_01: I appreciate that,
- 0:36SPEAKER_01: and I'm glad it's been a help,
- 0:37SPEAKER_01: and I know this will be a help to the coaches that are listening.
- 0:40SPEAKER_01: I do want to start with the experience you had this summer.
- 0:42This has been several years that you've been a part of this and
- 0:45doing this.
- 0:46How was the experience overall,
- 0:48and then basketball-wise,
- 0:49from a basketball standpoint,
- 0:51SPEAKER_01: You know, what'd you learn?
- 0:52SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it was a massive, fun experience like TBT.
- 0:55SPEAKER_00: It's just amazing how much it's grown.
- 0:57SPEAKER_00: Like this year was unique with home court advantages.
- 1:00So we played in like a sold out Coke arena at Wichita State in
- 1:03the championship game.
- 1:03SPEAKER_00: So just memories like that are special.
- 1:05SPEAKER_00: But obviously the biggest thing, too, is just picking guys' brains.
- 1:08SPEAKER_00: Like we had Gabe work as a leader shooter,
- 1:10SPEAKER_00: I think,
- 1:11SPEAKER_00: overseas,
- 1:11SPEAKER_00: as some of them are,
- 1:12SPEAKER_00: and picking his brain about shooting and being around pros.
- 1:15SPEAKER_00: Like I'm just being a sponge and learning.
- 1:17SPEAKER_00: But as far as hoops,
- 1:18SPEAKER_00: I think for me the TBT has been huge just getting live reps,
- 1:21SPEAKER_00: like live coaching reps.
- 1:22SPEAKER_00: I get to lead film sessions,
- 1:24SPEAKER_00: get to lead warm-ups,
- 1:25SPEAKER_00: lead player development stuff that I don't always get to do in my roles.
- 1:28SPEAKER_00: So that's been the biggest separator.
- 1:30SPEAKER_00: And then Bryce Taylor was – all those coaches have been incredible,
- 1:33SPEAKER_00: but just like full trust from the get-go,
- 1:35SPEAKER_00: like believing in me,
- 1:36SPEAKER_00: allowing me to really take some ownership.
- 1:38SPEAKER_00: So basketball-wise learned a lot of just what they did with the Pacers,
- 1:42SPEAKER_00: even stuff that Rick Carlisle did.
- 1:43SPEAKER_00: He'd share certain –
- 1:44concepts and things so just always picking his brain as well
- 1:47things that they do in
- 1:48the nba something i love to do the position is the director of
- 1:52analytics and
- 1:53strategy and that's becoming i found a commonplace at programs
- 1:57at the division one
- 1:58level but i don't know that necessarily everybody knows exactly
- 2:01what that looks
- 2:02like so on a day-to-day basis and then also big picture for the
- 2:07players and the
- 2:08SPEAKER_01: coaching staff what do you offer for them
- 2:11SPEAKER_00: Yeah,
- 2:11SPEAKER_00: so the biggest thing for us is we want to try to eliminate,
- 2:13SPEAKER_00: like,
- 2:14SPEAKER_00: human error and just allow stats to drive us,
- 2:17SPEAKER_00: right?
- 2:17SPEAKER_00: It doesn't always make our decision-making.
- 2:18SPEAKER_00: We want to make data-driven decisions with data to support it.
- 2:22SPEAKER_00: So we do a bunch of in-house analytics through Coach Panone.
- 2:25SPEAKER_00: He has a lot of good experience from Bama to the NBA.
- 2:28SPEAKER_00: So we do a lot of things from shot types with our guys,
- 2:30SPEAKER_00: like points per shot,
- 2:32SPEAKER_00: leverage stats,
- 2:33SPEAKER_00: like just tons of different stats that always allow us.
- 2:36And then in player development plans,
- 2:37when guys come on visits,
- 2:38we show them,
- 2:39like,
- 2:39every area of their shots of just a PD plan that's really in
- 2:43depth that shows areas
- 2:45SPEAKER_00: of growth for them.
- 2:46SPEAKER_00: It's kind of all encompassing,
- 2:47SPEAKER_00: a lot of different hats,
- 2:49SPEAKER_00: a lot of different ways we use it in recruiting day-to-day games,
- 2:52SPEAKER_00: but just allowing us to make good data-driven decision-making.
- 2:56SPEAKER_00: And it can be various stats.
- 2:58SPEAKER_00: Obviously,
- 2:58SPEAKER_00: sometimes we'll use some of the websites too,
- 3:00SPEAKER_00: like CBB Analytics,
- 3:01SPEAKER_00: Ken Palm,
- 3:02SPEAKER_00: all those things.
- 3:03But also we do a lot through Huddle Sports Code and just our
- 3:05report windows and
- 3:06SPEAKER_00: code windows in-house.
- 3:07And every day we have like during practice,
- 3:09we have live stats populating.
- 3:10SPEAKER_00: We'll pull up live clips instantly throughout practice.
- 3:13SPEAKER_00: Coach Ben will pull them over so we can give live feedback with guys.
- 3:16SPEAKER_00: So that's a lot of my role right now.
- 3:17Like the goal is to teach student managers and GAs and allow
- 3:21them to get into that role.
- 3:22SPEAKER_00: But me and I have to shout out Max Thorpe.
- 3:24SPEAKER_00: He's come from Bama and he's incredible with the sports code as well.
- 3:27And we've really taken ownership just to do as much as we can
- 3:30here at Arkansas
- 3:31SPEAKER_00: State and at our level.
- 3:33SPEAKER_01: You mentioned the shot selection and the points per possession.
- 3:35SPEAKER_01: And can you talk through for,
- 3:37SPEAKER_01: this is for my own curiosity,
- 3:38SPEAKER_01: but I'm sure others will find this interesting too.
- 3:40It's a conversation that I'm having more with my players and
- 3:44I'm trying to be
- 3:45SPEAKER_01: better and more informed in how I communicate to them.
- 3:48I think shot selection is one of those things where we as
- 3:51coaches have a lot of
- 3:52times it's come across to the players as I'll determine what
- 3:55the right shot is.
- 3:56SPEAKER_01: You just took the wrong shot.
- 3:58SPEAKER_01: Stop taking that shot now.
- 4:00And I've changed that to demonstrate to the players how this is
- 4:05helping them.
- 4:06And it's really about helping them become the most efficient
- 4:10shooter and thus
- 4:11SPEAKER_01: achieve the highest levels of success,
- 4:13SPEAKER_01: which then obviously will help our team.
- 4:15SPEAKER_01: How do you go about having those conversations?
- 4:17And then even some sort of an example of diving into what that
- 4:21conversation would look like.
- 4:23SPEAKER_00: Yeah, that's why we have so many numbers to support that.
- 4:26SPEAKER_00: So obviously on their cover sheet, we have their points per shot.
- 4:29SPEAKER_00: And it's based off location.
- 4:30SPEAKER_00: So a lot of our guys this summer one alone,
- 4:33SPEAKER_00: they're in the green and the rim and the three,
- 4:35SPEAKER_00: but the mid-range and the paint,
- 4:36SPEAKER_00: it's very far red.
- 4:39SPEAKER_00: And we look back, though.
- 4:40SPEAKER_00: We don't try to just put it on.
- 4:42SPEAKER_00: That can be a small sample size sometimes.
- 4:44So we look through their college stats and just trying to show
- 4:47them what's most efficient.
- 4:48SPEAKER_00: But we're also like,
- 4:49SPEAKER_00: yeah,
- 4:49SPEAKER_00: we're analytically driven,
- 4:50SPEAKER_00: but that doesn't mean all mid-range shots are bad.
- 4:52SPEAKER_00: You know, all post-ups are bad.
- 4:53SPEAKER_00: Like Pannone's really big on that.
- 4:55Like certain mid-range shots late in the clock or if you're
- 4:58looking for a game
- 4:59SPEAKER_00: winner,
- 4:59SPEAKER_00: like closer shots,
- 5:00SPEAKER_00: obviously more efficient.
- 5:02SPEAKER_00: So we don't always, it's like no mid-range at all.
- 5:04SPEAKER_00: But naturally how we do things, we in practice, we have constraints.
- 5:08So like scoring,
- 5:09there's zero points for a mid-range shot,
- 5:11one point for in the paint.
- 5:13SPEAKER_00: So it's different than RIM in three.
- 5:14SPEAKER_00: But we have those conversations.
- 5:16Obviously,
- 5:16we want to make sure that we have the data to support it and
- 5:19have guys understand.
- 5:20SPEAKER_00: Like, it's not always the easiest conversation.
- 5:22We always want to be upfront and honest and truthful with them
- 5:25and try to make them
- 5:26SPEAKER_00: be the most efficient player they can.

- 6:18SPEAKER_01: which may seem kind of abrupt,
- 6:20SPEAKER_01: but I want to give you plenty of time for this.
- 6:22SPEAKER_01: Coaching there with Coach Panone,
- 6:23some of the stuff that you've put previously together and
- 6:26worked on there.
- 6:27SPEAKER_01: And I know you guys have only been there a few months,
- 6:29SPEAKER_01: but just even having talked to your wife,
- 6:31SPEAKER_01: who was previously on the show,
- 6:32SPEAKER_01: if you haven't listened to that,
- 6:33SPEAKER_01: I'll be sure to link that below.
- 6:34SPEAKER_01: She was great.
- 6:35SPEAKER_01: But you guys have done a lot in a short amount of time to accelerate.
- 6:39SPEAKER_01: the potential for success that you guys are going to have there.
- 6:41SPEAKER_01: And I know it's going to be successful,
- 6:43SPEAKER_01: but those of you that are listening,
- 6:44SPEAKER_01: I'm going to switch over now and add the screens.
- 6:47SPEAKER_01: This is going to be some film that the coach is going to share.
- 6:50And I'm really just going to let you kind of roll with this and
- 6:52talk through it.
- 6:53And I may have some questions throughout,
- 6:55but I want to give you plenty of time for this.
- 6:57SPEAKER_00: Thanks coach.
- 6:58So I'm going to go into a little bit just of how we build our
- 7:01drills and how we layer stuff.
- 7:03The biggest thing that we talk about is behind the scenes is
- 7:05like scaffolding.
- 7:07So we want to start in manageable trunks and teaching and
- 7:10drilling things where
- 7:11SPEAKER_00: that's one on one,
- 7:11SPEAKER_00: two on two.
- 7:13SPEAKER_00: And we'll slowly build it up to five on five.
- 7:14We want to give them temporary support and tools in those
- 7:18smaller sided games so we
- 7:20SPEAKER_00: can slowly learn.
- 7:21SPEAKER_00: And then as it grows,
- 7:23SPEAKER_00: naturally,
- 7:23it'll come in live play and they'll complete the task on their
- 7:26own in five on five.
- 7:27SPEAKER_00: And it's been really successful so far this summer.
- 7:29SPEAKER_00: It's something I've really loved and learned under Coach Panoan.
- 7:33SPEAKER_00: So the first thing we'll walk through is our cutting.
- 7:35SPEAKER_00: So here you'll see we're in the slot.
- 7:37SPEAKER_00: We're attacking the slot.
- 7:38SPEAKER_00: And we call this cut the low.
- 7:40SPEAKER_00: Because the low man here on defense, we call this the low man.
- 7:43SPEAKER_00: So this is just our teach it and our drill it part, obviously.
- 7:46SPEAKER_00: This is how we'll warm up a lot of times.
- 7:48SPEAKER_00: We don't spend time doing wasted stuff at the beginning of practice.
- 7:52SPEAKER_00: It's always going to correlate to the game.
- 7:54SPEAKER_00: So this is a lot of times even how we will warm up.
- 7:57SPEAKER_00: And then here I want to show,
- 7:58SPEAKER_00: like,
- 7:58I couldn't do an edit about Arkansas State without Coach
- 8:01Pannon's as good as it
- 8:02SPEAKER_00: gets as far as relaying stuff through NBA examples and live clips.
- 8:07Before we go out on the court for a new concept and film that
- 8:10day before practice,
- 8:11SPEAKER_00: we've always watched the concept.
- 8:13SPEAKER_00: And he's just the lead man through, like, PD plans and working with him.
- 8:16SPEAKER_00: Like,
- 8:17SPEAKER_00: I could give an example of,
- 8:18SPEAKER_00: like,
- 8:18SPEAKER_00: I feel like 10 different drives in a single possession within a minute.
- 8:21SPEAKER_00: He could pull the exact clip up.
- 8:22SPEAKER_00: That's just how of a –
- 8:24SPEAKER_00: film junkie he is and how elite he is.
- 8:26So here you can see same thing,
- 8:27slot drive,
- 8:28low man helps across,
- 8:30cutting the low.
- 8:31So these are kind of examples of things we'll show guys before
- 8:34we teach these concepts.
- 8:35SPEAKER_00: It can be varying different examples and things we do.
- 8:39SPEAKER_00: Here's same thing, middle drive, now we're cutting the low.
- 8:44SPEAKER_00: One thing you can see with our guards,
- 8:45SPEAKER_00: like we're really big on,
- 8:47SPEAKER_00: nothing is on air,
- 8:48SPEAKER_00: we're big on like bones over cones.
- 8:50SPEAKER_00: And a big thing here, like we're on confrontational drives.
- 8:53SPEAKER_00: So everything we do,
- 8:54we want to try to create rim pressure and also draw fouls for
- 8:57those are obviously
- 8:58SPEAKER_00: the most efficient shot.
- 8:59So confrontational hip attacks,
- 9:01you can see I'm cutting the low off the middle drive.
- 9:04SPEAKER_00: Here's NBA examples, same thing.
- 9:07SPEAKER_00: Middle drive, cut the low.
- 9:09Now the next layer of it,
- 9:11on a baseline drive,
- 9:12a lot of people call this a 45 cut.
- 9:14SPEAKER_00: We call it a kill cut, but it's really a read.
- 9:16SPEAKER_00: So you can see our coach here, we call this a seeker.
- 9:19If he's dropping back to the block,
- 9:21we want to face cut,
- 9:22kill cut,
- 9:23and get that layup.
- 9:24SPEAKER_00: So again, this is how we start in the warm-up section of cutting.
- 9:29SPEAKER_00: We'll start right away practice after our dynamic warm-up.
- 9:32SPEAKER_00: We'll go straight into drills like this.
- 9:34SPEAKER_00: Here's NBA baseline drive.
- 9:37SPEAKER_00: It's that 45 kill cut for a layup.
- 9:40And then one thing unique in our offense where this stuff can
- 9:43kind of become random
- 9:44SPEAKER_00: is we play our five in different positions.
- 9:46SPEAKER_00: So here you can say it's the same thing, but fives naturally helps.
- 9:50SPEAKER_00: We like to keep our five on the perimeter.
- 9:52SPEAKER_00: Here's a kill cut in a different scenario.
- 9:55SPEAKER_00: Slot drives, same thing.
- 9:57SPEAKER_00: So we'll just slowly,
- 9:57obviously you can tell we start with cutting the low and we'll
- 10:00just slowly build
- 10:01SPEAKER_00: and scaffold this as we go about it.
- 10:04SPEAKER_00: Same thing in the NBA.
- 10:05SPEAKER_00: You can see, right?
- 10:06SPEAKER_00: So I mentioned this low man and seeker.
- 10:08SPEAKER_00: So if that seeker drops,
- 10:09we really want to make this decision and cut the gap in the
- 10:12shell with that kill
- 10:13SPEAKER_00: cut.
- 10:14So every time it's really a decision,
- 10:16we try to avoid automatics as much as possible.
- 10:18Yes,
- 10:18we have some,
- 10:19but a lot of it is read-based decision-making on the perimeter.
- 10:24SPEAKER_00: So here, right, we take it to the next level.
- 10:26SPEAKER_00: Now we're reading it.
- 10:28SPEAKER_00: So we're going three-on-three against coaches.
- 10:30SPEAKER_00: We're going on a slot drive.
- 10:31SPEAKER_00: Now they are reading the secret, right, who's going to cut.
- 10:34SPEAKER_00: So we're trying to cut the gap in the show.
- 10:36SPEAKER_00: So he stays high.
- 10:37SPEAKER_00: We cut the low.
- 10:38SPEAKER_00: Now our GA, Evan, he drops back.
- 10:40SPEAKER_00: So we're going to cut the runway, kill cut.
- 10:43SPEAKER_00: And RBC stands for read before the catch.
- 10:46SPEAKER_00: So every time on the perimeter,
- 10:47SPEAKER_00: we're trying to,
- 10:48SPEAKER_00: right,
- 10:48SPEAKER_00: these things will naturally occur the more and more that we rep them.
- 10:52But we're also trying to make sure our guys are always making
- 10:54decisions in everything we do.
- 10:56So here's some,
- 10:57like,
- 10:58really good decision-making examples of the same scenario.
- 11:01SPEAKER_00: So, right, if the seeker doesn't drop, cut the low for the dunk.
- 11:05SPEAKER_00: Here we go.
- 11:05SPEAKER_00: TJ McConnell drops low from the seeker.
- 11:08SPEAKER_00: We want to kill cut that for a layup.
- 11:11SPEAKER_00: So here's here's the next level.
- 11:13SPEAKER_00: Right.
- 11:13SPEAKER_00: We went three on three reading the seeker.
- 11:15SPEAKER_00: Now we call this the blender.
- 11:17SPEAKER_00: So the blender is really our like play after the play.
- 11:19SPEAKER_00: We're trying to keep the advantage and use the advantage.
- 11:22SPEAKER_00: Right.
- 11:22SPEAKER_00: Once we've created it.
- 11:23SPEAKER_00: So now the ball can be thrown anywhere.
- 11:26SPEAKER_00: This really where it incorporates the randomness of it.
- 11:28SPEAKER_00: And now we're driving and we're reading off cutting the gap in the show.
- 11:33SPEAKER_00: It's one of my favorite drills.
- 11:34SPEAKER_00: I think it's just.
- 11:35It really allows our players to really make the decision and
- 11:38they don't know where
- 11:39SPEAKER_00: the ball is going to go.
- 11:40So this is just as we slowly layer it and grow from a drill to
- 11:44drill is a really good example.
- 11:46And then we'll also go from coaches and we'll go live players
- 11:49against players.
- 11:50SPEAKER_00: You can be creative,
- 11:51SPEAKER_00: obviously,
- 11:52SPEAKER_00: and adding a lot of different constraints,
- 11:53SPEAKER_00: creative with your game.
- 11:54SPEAKER_00: So oftentimes we'll go like six possessions each on the highest team,
- 11:59SPEAKER_00: obviously with the least amount of mistakes.
- 12:01wins and we're trying to get a perfect score just making
- 12:04decisions and making reads
- 12:06you said for something like this too you have constraints is
- 12:09there any anything
- 12:10that comes could you give an example of that i mean the biggest
- 12:13thing like i would
- 12:13say in that drill is where the ball goes right because it's
- 12:16very random but we
- 12:17could also keep it where hey we want to work on kill cuts today
- 12:19so we might
- 12:20The guys might think it's random,
- 12:21but we've really been struggling in that area.
- 12:23So we'll make it where it's just slot drive after slot drive or
- 12:27the baseline drive.
- 12:28So you can constrain it in different ways along with spacing on
- 12:32different times.
- 12:33You saw we started in the three-on-three and the four-on-four
- 12:36to get different cuts.
- 12:38SPEAKER_01: And you said the seeker, that's the guy that's helping, right?
- 12:41SPEAKER_01: The help, the helper.
- 12:42SPEAKER_00: Yes, yes.
- 12:44SPEAKER_00: Next up, we got our advantage drills.
- 12:45SPEAKER_00: So advantage drills,
- 12:46SPEAKER_00: we'll start these,
- 12:47SPEAKER_00: like from the beginning of the summer,
- 12:48SPEAKER_00: we started this in three-on-three.
- 12:50SPEAKER_00: So we're making the same reads out of the slot.
- 12:53SPEAKER_00: And we really want to try to get off the ball early.
- 12:56SPEAKER_00: A lot of times in these advantage drills,
- 12:57SPEAKER_00: just naturally,
- 12:58SPEAKER_00: right,
- 12:58SPEAKER_00: we occur those two-on-one situations.
- 13:01SPEAKER_00: And here's a decent example.
- 13:03SPEAKER_00: This is still early in the summer, not great confrontational.
- 13:05SPEAKER_00: I like how he veers back into him.
- 13:07SPEAKER_00: And you can see naturally like cutting the low.
- 13:09SPEAKER_00: We've been repping it so much.
- 13:10SPEAKER_00: It naturally occurs in these live three-on-three games.
- 13:14SPEAKER_00: But here's a good example.
- 13:15Like we want to get off the ball super quick,
- 13:17and it creates a two-on-one.
- 13:19SPEAKER_00: Our read for this really is just if this low man,
- 13:21SPEAKER_00: even if his foot's in the paint,
- 13:23SPEAKER_00: we're trying to get off it early and play off this two-on-one.
- 13:25SPEAKER_00: And a big thing, I circle that for a strike.
- 13:27SPEAKER_00: So we want to throw strike passes.
- 13:29SPEAKER_00: I think good shooting teams are always good passing teams,
- 13:32SPEAKER_00: so we're really strict on our passing.
- 13:35You can tell we wrap a lot on just spacing,
- 13:37re-spacing,
- 13:37and our guys are quickly re-spacing.
- 13:40SPEAKER_00: Here's a few examples of it.
- 13:42SPEAKER_00: Runaway kick, now playing off the extra pass.
- 13:46Our offense naturally just generates a lot of these two-on-one
- 13:48situations.
- 13:50SPEAKER_00: Slot drive, corner kick, extra pass three.
- 13:54Is there something that you teach the guys that differentiates
- 13:57whether or not they
- 13:58SPEAKER_01: kill cut or they shoot?
- 13:59SPEAKER_01: Is it just simply personnel?
- 14:02SPEAKER_00: So we don't do that per se.
- 14:04The biggest thing for us is we want to take the layup anytime
- 14:06we can because
- 14:07SPEAKER_00: obviously a rim finish
- 14:09SPEAKER_00: is better than a three, but it just depends.
- 14:11SPEAKER_00: Like if the guard gets off the ball so quick,
- 14:13SPEAKER_00: they want a time to cut,
- 14:14SPEAKER_00: they want an opportunity to cut.
- 14:16SPEAKER_00: But most times we want them to cut,
- 14:17SPEAKER_00: especially as they get deeper,
- 14:19SPEAKER_00: like cut the gap in the shell every time.
- 14:22SPEAKER_00: And like I mentioned before, like it's a read.
- 14:23SPEAKER_00: So if that seeker drops back, it's a kill cut.
- 14:26SPEAKER_00: If they stay high,
- 14:27SPEAKER_00: it'd be cut in the low,
- 14:28but then it just kind of depends on obviously the timing of the
- 14:31pass and everything
- 14:31SPEAKER_00: within our concepts.
- 14:33SPEAKER_00: And here's a very big thing.
- 14:34SPEAKER_00: I want you to watch this, Pat.
- 14:35SPEAKER_00: It's a really good strike.
- 14:36So we focus on this,
- 14:38like Coach Pannon's huge on this,
- 14:3942 passes,
- 14:40we call them.
- 14:40SPEAKER_00: So in the NBA, they did a study.
- 14:42SPEAKER_00: If you catch it in the shooting pocket, they shot on average 42%.
- 14:45SPEAKER_00: Just outside the window was 36.
- 14:47SPEAKER_00: And if they had to move to catch the ball, it was 27%.
- 14:49SPEAKER_00: So that's a 15% difference.
- 14:52SPEAKER_00: So when I mentioned earlier, like good passing teams,
- 14:55SPEAKER_00: oftentimes good shooting teams.
- 14:56SPEAKER_00: It starts with the pass.
- 14:58SPEAKER_00: So we were up on these passes too, like throwing strikes.
- 15:00SPEAKER_00: Donovan Mitchell is really elite.
- 15:02Shea Gilders,
- 15:02John Moran,
- 15:03they're really elite in the NBA at throwing these strike
- 15:05passes.
- 15:06So here now we started obviously in the slot,
- 15:09but now we're going to randomize it.
- 15:10SPEAKER_00: So, right, we can go either way.
- 15:11SPEAKER_00: We're touching the hand and we're playing live.
- 15:13SPEAKER_00: You're driving the opposite direction.
- 15:15SPEAKER_00: Here you can see, right, middle drives.
- 15:17SPEAKER_00: We want to drive right and move right.
- 15:19SPEAKER_00: So we're cutting the corner, slide down there.
- 15:22SPEAKER_00: A lot of people call it a Clyde, but we're trying to, uh,
- 15:26drive right move right drive left move left so we're relocating
- 15:29off the drive based
- 15:30off that here's a couple examples this is a really good like
- 15:34multiple advantage
- 15:35right you clyde and you got the advantage baseline drive this
- 15:38builds all the
- 15:39concepts together kill cut for a dunk similar middle drive
- 15:43corner cut a lot of
- 15:44SPEAKER_00: times this defender gets stuck helping here so you get this corner three
- 15:49Really good thing that the Grizzlies and the Cavs do a really
- 15:51high efficiency of is
- 15:53SPEAKER_00: doing the relocating.
- 15:55SPEAKER_00: A lot people call it the wheel,
- 15:56SPEAKER_00: but like just driving right,
- 15:57SPEAKER_00: moving right,
- 15:57SPEAKER_00: driving left,
- 15:58SPEAKER_00: moving left is really creates a lot of open driving lanes.
- 16:02SPEAKER_00: So here we build it up.
- 16:02SPEAKER_00: Obviously went three on three.
- 16:04SPEAKER_00: Now we're going four on four.
- 16:06SPEAKER_00: And we'll oftentimes, I mentioned like we play with our scoring a lot.
- 16:09So we might play a 20 point game where plus three,
- 16:13you get three,
- 16:13minus three is a missed three.
- 16:15SPEAKER_00: We'll go plus one on a strike pass, like plus one on a deflection.
- 16:19So we'll add just a lot of different constraints as well with
- 16:21scoring just to make
- 16:23SPEAKER_00: the games emphasize.
- 16:24SPEAKER_00: And that might change week to week based on
- 16:26SPEAKER_00: hey, we're really struggling on this type of play.
- 16:29SPEAKER_00: We're going to really emphasize it.
- 16:31SPEAKER_00: Or this type of, hey, our passes are really bad.
- 16:33SPEAKER_00: We're going to make a strike pass three points.
- 16:35SPEAKER_00: So we'll play a round two with that.
- 16:37SPEAKER_00: You can be really creative with your points.
- 16:39SPEAKER_00: And one thing we do, we have a lot of different concepts.
- 16:42We don't love this with Joey because he's a good shooter,
- 16:44but we do random flares.
- 16:46SPEAKER_00: So just things in our offense, too, you'll kind of see come up randomly.
- 16:51SPEAKER_00: But to your point,
- 16:52SPEAKER_00: we do like certain guys,
- 16:53SPEAKER_00: we obviously will emphasize more things than others.
- 16:56Like we don't love Joey,
- 16:57each set of random players,
- 16:58but our bigs,
- 16:58we obviously love that more.
- 17:00SPEAKER_00: Them creating advantages off of that.
- 17:03SPEAKER_00: Then here, right, we go five on five slot drive.
- 17:06But then also you'll see after this possession,
- 17:09we start incorporating full court.
- 17:11SPEAKER_00: So we start to build in our transition reads.
- 17:13SPEAKER_00: So now we're going run, run, down and back.
- 17:17SPEAKER_00: One thing you'll see really good re-spacing.
- 17:19SPEAKER_00: like driving, relocating off the drives.
- 17:21SPEAKER_00: That's really a lot of where our summer emphasis has been.
- 17:24SPEAKER_01: How quickly do you all get to the five-on-five?
- 17:27Starting out of summer,
- 17:28it took a week or two,
- 17:29but we try to end every practice.
- 17:31SPEAKER_00: So kind of like what I'm showing the scaffolding,
- 17:32SPEAKER_00: we start with these warm-up concept drills,
- 17:35SPEAKER_00: and then we'll go to offense,
- 17:36SPEAKER_00: defense on each end,
- 17:37SPEAKER_00: and then we'll go to blood drills,
- 17:39SPEAKER_00: and then we'll go into like five-on-five at the end.
- 17:40SPEAKER_00: We try to play full court every day now at the end to finish off.
- 17:45SPEAKER_00: But we slowly build it up from the three-on-three to four-on-four,
- 17:48because these five-on-five reads are a little different than
- 17:52what we got out of the
- 17:53SPEAKER_00: three-on-three.
- 17:53There's another example of just runway where it was random
- 17:58middle drive or slot
- 17:59SPEAKER_00: drive and then going run-run.
- 18:00SPEAKER_00: And we really push with pace.
- 18:03SPEAKER_00: Like, our goal is to have a pressure off.
- 18:04SPEAKER_00: And so we're trying to inbound the ball in one second,
- 18:08SPEAKER_00: so the opposing three-point line in three seconds.
- 18:10SPEAKER_00: So we're really trying to push pace.
- 18:12SPEAKER_00: Here's just a few.
- 18:13I added these in because,
- 18:14like,
- 18:14these wouldn't occur as much in the three-on-three,
- 18:16right?
- 18:17SPEAKER_00: But when you go five-on-five,
- 18:18SPEAKER_00: there's some of these,
- 18:19SPEAKER_00: like,
- 18:19SPEAKER_00: we wanted to call this an early easy pass,
- 18:21SPEAKER_00: but it's amazing in college.
- 18:22SPEAKER_00: Coaches change it to an early difficult.
- 18:24SPEAKER_00: Just getting off the ball early.
- 18:25SPEAKER_00: A lot of times this man's defender will be in help.
- 18:27Like,
- 18:27just getting those early passes are a lot of times a struggle
- 18:31for college guys.
- 18:31SPEAKER_00: We call it the early difficult.
- 18:33And here's,
- 18:33like,
- 18:33another readout of five-on-five that you wouldn't get out of
- 18:35three-on-three.
- 18:36SPEAKER_00: Shake up.
- 18:37SPEAKER_00: I'm going to drive right, move right into a three.
- 18:40SPEAKER_00: And here's just a different spacing.
- 18:42SPEAKER_00: So we plot a lot of random spacings, random locations with our five.
- 18:46SPEAKER_00: So now we're in four out one in and one more layering decision making.
- 18:49So we're going to go first off a slot drive and reading it
- 18:53against coaches.
- 18:54And then we're going to go a baseline drive out of four out one
- 18:56in three on three.
- 18:58I just wanted to show that just to show like we don't only go
- 19:02right five out concepts.
- 19:03SPEAKER_00: We go multiple different spacings.
- 19:08SPEAKER_00: There's just some of those out of four out one in.
- 19:11SPEAKER_00: So slot drive, hitting the dunker.
- 19:14SPEAKER_01: Your actions stay the same no matter the alignment, right?
- 19:18SPEAKER_00: Yes, for the most part.
- 19:19We might have certain actions,
- 19:21though,
- 19:21that are more obviously beneficial and four out one in.
- 19:24SPEAKER_00: I know in my experience, like,
- 19:26SPEAKER_00: common NBA action is like Nova.
- 19:28SPEAKER_00: Some people call it different things, but like Nova is better.
- 19:30I'll stay out of four out one in because then you'll have the
- 19:32big sprint up and
- 19:33SPEAKER_00: they're like on the doorstep to set that step up or angle ball screen.
- 19:36SPEAKER_00: We're like five out.
- 19:37SPEAKER_00: We'll have different stuff.
- 19:38SPEAKER_00: Like the NBA is common,
- 19:39SPEAKER_00: honestly,
- 19:39SPEAKER_00: like all the wide,
- 19:41SPEAKER_00: double,
- 19:41SPEAKER_00: like single,
- 19:42those pin down the ways that we have a lot of those different
- 19:45concepts that we can
- 19:46SPEAKER_00: naturally just flow into pistol that we flow into naturally.
- 19:51SPEAKER_00: Here's like baseline drive, right?
- 19:53SPEAKER_00: Dunker circling up.
- 19:55SPEAKER_00: baseline release pass, one more.
- 19:59SPEAKER_00: And here we go against each other.
- 20:01SPEAKER_00: So we obviously,
- 20:02SPEAKER_00: as I mentioned earlier,
- 20:03SPEAKER_00: like we're teaching,
- 20:04SPEAKER_00: drilling it,
- 20:05and then we'll read it against coaches oftentimes before then
- 20:07we play it against
- 20:08SPEAKER_00: each other and then we build it slowly up into the five on five as well.
- 20:14SPEAKER_00: And the next thing I want to hit on is pick and roll reads.
- 20:17SPEAKER_00: So in the pick and roll,
- 20:19SPEAKER_00: specifically a lot of time we spent,
- 20:21SPEAKER_00: we'll go through different covers,
- 20:22SPEAKER_00: but I'm going to go against the show.
- 20:24SPEAKER_00: specifically today.
- 20:25SPEAKER_00: So this is the same thing,
- 20:26SPEAKER_00: like as in the cutting and the pick and roll,
- 20:27SPEAKER_00: we'll do the same thing.
- 20:28SPEAKER_00: We'll do a warmup.
- 20:29SPEAKER_00: So right here, we're hitting the pocket pass against the show.
- 20:32SPEAKER_00: And you can see this stuff is never on air.
- 20:37SPEAKER_00: I guess it might not be the best realistic defense,
- 20:39but we're always trying to have bones over cones and having
- 20:41guys just make those
- 20:43SPEAKER_00: secondary reads.
- 20:43SPEAKER_00: And this is when we've just taught it.
- 20:45SPEAKER_00: So at least evading that second help man defender.
- 20:48SPEAKER_00: And here we go, a wraparound pass against the show.
- 20:50A really big thing is attacking that top hit and hitting the
- 20:54short roll and then an
- 20:55SPEAKER_00: extra pass to the corner.
- 20:58I think the biggest thing against the show is move it early and
- 21:01move it twice.
- 21:02SPEAKER_00: So we want to get off that ball early when we engage too,
- 21:05and then we want to keep it moving and use the advantage that
- 21:08we've created.
- 21:09SPEAKER_00: Here's the next thing.
- 21:10SPEAKER_00: Coach calls this a C-pass.
- 21:11SPEAKER_00: I mean,
- 21:11SPEAKER_00: people call it different things,
- 21:13SPEAKER_00: but he just calls it a C-pass because you see the man ahead.
- 21:15SPEAKER_00: C-pass, throw it ahead.
- 21:16SPEAKER_00: And now you can see how this is a really high-level pass.
- 21:20SPEAKER_00: We're leading them, and we call these go-catches.
- 21:22SPEAKER_00: I mean, a lot of people call them stampedes or running through the ball.
- 21:25SPEAKER_00: That's why we call these areas the runways, right?
- 21:26SPEAKER_00: We're running through the ball,
- 21:27SPEAKER_00: and these go-catches a lot of times,
- 21:29SPEAKER_00: and it creates really good advantage.
- 21:30SPEAKER_00: It's so hard to close out and react to this go-catch.
- 21:34SPEAKER_00: And you can see how we just slowly layer.
- 21:35SPEAKER_00: We start off hitting the roll,
- 21:37SPEAKER_00: the pocket,
- 21:38SPEAKER_00: and we were working on some passing,
- 21:39SPEAKER_00: and now we're working on the C pass.
- 21:41SPEAKER_00: And we'll slowly layer this too, right?
- 21:42SPEAKER_00: So we worked on go catching.
- 21:44We can also hit the roll,
- 21:45but now we're reading this low man comes in and helps.
- 21:48SPEAKER_00: Now we're skipping it stops at corner.
- 21:51SPEAKER_00: So you can see even in this,
- 21:52SPEAKER_00: while it might still be in the teach it,
- 21:54SPEAKER_00: drill it segment,
- 21:55SPEAKER_00: we're still scaffolding and building up on everything that we do.
- 21:59SPEAKER_00: Here's C pass, extra.
- 22:02A big read is obviously against the skip is better if they're
- 22:05tagging from behind,
- 22:06SPEAKER_00: but the extra pass is very common,
- 22:07SPEAKER_00: especially in the NBA.
- 22:08SPEAKER_00: A lot of times they'll tag from this two side.
- 22:11SPEAKER_00: So this is a really good way to attack that one-on-one advantage too.
- 22:14And we play a lot of one-on-one too,
- 22:16so I'll show a clip later of just us playing out of this.
- 22:19SPEAKER_00: We'll play one-on-one out of different concepts that happen in the games.
- 22:24I threw in some international clips with this because I think
- 22:27they're just so high-level
- 22:29SPEAKER_00: and pick and roll reads and just the tactical side of the game.
- 22:32SPEAKER_00: So I threw in a few examples here too.
- 22:34SPEAKER_00: Here's a good wraparound pass against the show.
- 22:39SPEAKER_00: Really big thing that I mentioned earlier, right?
- 22:41SPEAKER_00: You want to attack this hip, but you also want to try to avoid gliding.
- 22:45SPEAKER_00: I think that exposes the ball, but really attack the hip well.
- 22:48SPEAKER_00: Make the wraparound pass to the roll.
- 22:52SPEAKER_00: Here's some examples.
- 22:53SPEAKER_00: Not great defense on this first one, but C pass, right?
- 22:55SPEAKER_00: We want to get off it quick when we engage too and then hit the roller.
- 23:04Really good clip from the Kings getting off it early,
- 23:06then hitting Sabonis on the roll.
- 23:09SPEAKER_00: And here's C pass, right?
- 23:10SPEAKER_00: What I was talking about, if they tag from behind, the skip pass.
- 23:14SPEAKER_00: And he does a really good job.
- 23:15SPEAKER_00: We do this too.
- 23:16SPEAKER_00: We try to lift up, obviously, to create good windows for the pass.
- 23:19SPEAKER_00: If you stay in the corner,
- 23:20SPEAKER_00: that's a pretty long and difficult pass,
- 23:22SPEAKER_00: and it can easily get stolen.
- 23:24SPEAKER_00: Here's C pass.
- 23:25SPEAKER_00: What I was talking about,
- 23:26SPEAKER_00: this is if they're tagging from that two-man side,
- 23:28SPEAKER_00: you can really attack this low man.
- 23:30SPEAKER_00: So we try to move it early, move it twice.
- 23:33And you can really attack that closeout,
- 23:34especially like go catches,
- 23:36stampedes.
- 23:37SPEAKER_00: That stuff's really, really high level for this.
- 23:39SPEAKER_00: Another thing anytime in this is I think he does such a good job of this.
- 23:44SPEAKER_00: Eyes sell lies, so he'll get pass faked by Joe Ingles, like elite.
- 23:49SPEAKER_00: Just hesitating,
- 23:50SPEAKER_00: like just that split second,
- 23:51SPEAKER_00: especially in the NBA,
- 23:52SPEAKER_00: like creates a contested three to a little more open.
- 23:57SPEAKER_00: And here's working on all the passes.
- 23:59SPEAKER_00: So we'll do different ones.
- 24:00SPEAKER_00: That last one was more, it had some passing mixed in.
- 24:03SPEAKER_00: There's a lot of scoring.
- 24:04So now this is just us doing a different day and going through
- 24:06every pass.
- 24:07SPEAKER_00: So we're hitting the short roll.
- 24:09SPEAKER_00: We're making that corner kick pass for the three.
- 24:13SPEAKER_00: Then we'll build it up.
- 24:13SPEAKER_00: Now we're hitting the short roll.
- 24:15SPEAKER_00: Now we're hitting the runway.
- 24:16SPEAKER_00: So we call this the runway or runway kick.
- 24:20SPEAKER_00: And one thing too, you'll see in these drills, we don't,
- 24:22SPEAKER_00: Some teams will keep, right, only big screening.
- 24:24I think the new kind of modern game in the NBA,
- 24:27a lot of guards are setting screens.
- 24:28So we rotate through and we want our guards in these situations
- 24:31too because,
- 24:31SPEAKER_00: like,
- 24:31SPEAKER_00: against the switch,
- 24:32SPEAKER_00: this is very good too,
- 24:33SPEAKER_00: right,
- 24:33SPEAKER_00: to get out early,
- 24:34SPEAKER_00: play in this pocket,
- 24:36SPEAKER_00: and then we can play off the advantage.
- 24:37So we have our guards making these same passes,
- 24:39not just bigs or playing in the short roll.
- 24:42SPEAKER_00: Here we hit them.
- 24:43If they do help off that strong side corner,
- 24:45you know,
- 24:46the strong side corner kick down.
- 24:47SPEAKER_00: So we call that a kick down if you're passing to the strong side corner.
- 24:52SPEAKER_01: Is this how you guys do most of your shooting?
- 24:55SPEAKER_00: But we have a lot of two.
- 24:56SPEAKER_00: It's through actions.
- 24:57Then we'll just literally have four guys on the court and
- 25:00coaches will lead at this.
- 25:02SPEAKER_00: It could be multiple types of drives and then we'll get shots.
- 25:05But I will show at the end kind of in our daily bread is one of
- 25:08our main drills
- 25:08SPEAKER_00: that we work on every day that has passing and shooting.
- 25:11SPEAKER_00: But we'll also do like shooting in our,
- 25:13SPEAKER_00: a lot of it is what you're mentioning,
- 25:14SPEAKER_00: like it's in our concepts,
- 25:15SPEAKER_00: whether it's,
- 25:16SPEAKER_00: you know,
- 25:17SPEAKER_00: the wide pin down away,
- 25:18SPEAKER_00: the single to the corner,
- 25:19SPEAKER_00: like all those different screens too,
- 25:21SPEAKER_00: out of pistol,
- 25:21SPEAKER_00: like we'll do a lot of shooting where it's random,
- 25:24SPEAKER_00: like it's be multi shots,
- 25:25SPEAKER_00: like three different shots in those actions,
- 25:27SPEAKER_00: like all combined in one.
- 25:29SPEAKER_00: Here's just some good examples overseas.
- 25:31SPEAKER_00: A short roll hit the corner.
- 25:33SPEAKER_00: This is where kind of like that clip earlier with the baseline drive,
- 25:36SPEAKER_00: Kilka,
- 25:36SPEAKER_00: like building on the stuff,
- 25:37SPEAKER_00: extra pass,
- 25:38SPEAKER_00: and then we go catch.
- 25:39SPEAKER_00: It's so hard to defend, especially this guy's not the most athletic.
- 25:42Like it can be a great way to break the paint is those go catch
- 25:45or stampedes.
- 25:47SPEAKER_00: Short roll, runway kick, extra pass.
- 25:49SPEAKER_00: So we play a lot.
- 25:50SPEAKER_00: You can see like how naturally this stuff builds.
- 25:52This is how a lot of our summer has been built on these
- 25:54two-on-one situations and
- 25:56SPEAKER_00: playing out of them.
- 25:58SPEAKER_00: Sometimes it's three on two.
- 25:59SPEAKER_00: It just depends.
- 26:00SPEAKER_00: One thing I'll say to coaches,
- 26:01SPEAKER_00: too,
- 26:02SPEAKER_00: if you haven't,
- 26:02SPEAKER_00: like Tenerife is one of the best overseas teams to watch,
- 26:06SPEAKER_00: too,
- 26:06SPEAKER_00: just sets year by year.
- 26:08SPEAKER_00: I love to watch from like NBA.
- 26:11SPEAKER_00: I've gotten into college a little more now,
- 26:12SPEAKER_00: but mainly NBA and international,
- 26:15SPEAKER_00: like Tenerife is as good as it gets with set plays.
- 26:18SPEAKER_00: Here's a short rule, strong side kickdown.
- 26:21SPEAKER_00: So you can kind of see like with our guys,
- 26:24like it's not this isn't the first time they're seeing stuff
- 26:26when we go into
- 26:26SPEAKER_00: practice.
- 26:28We've shown them the similar film clips in film right before we
- 26:32got on the court.
- 26:32And even sometimes we'll have the TV on the court so we can
- 26:35just instantly watch stuff.
- 26:36SPEAKER_00: And then it just naturally so much easier for them to be visual.
- 26:39SPEAKER_00: Right.
- 26:40SPEAKER_00: We know there's different types of learners.
- 26:41SPEAKER_00: So a lot of our guys are visual learners.
- 26:43SPEAKER_00: So we want to show them these visual clips.
- 26:45SPEAKER_00: So it's not the first time they see it when we teach it.
- 26:48SPEAKER_00: How long is a film?
- 26:49SPEAKER_00: You show just three or four clips or?
- 26:51SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it's usually just, it can depend.
- 26:53SPEAKER_00: Like, we'll have longer ones that might be long, but then some are quick.
- 26:56SPEAKER_00: Like, it can be quick hitting ones.
- 26:58SPEAKER_00: So it can be,
- 26:58SPEAKER_00: in the concept,
- 26:59SPEAKER_00: it might only be one,
- 27:00SPEAKER_00: but it can be anywhere from one to four,
- 27:01SPEAKER_00: like,
- 27:02SPEAKER_00: per concept,
- 27:02SPEAKER_00: per area.
- 27:03SPEAKER_00: But then we'll start on to have huge ones where it might be,
- 27:05SPEAKER_00: like,
- 27:05SPEAKER_00: we might show a hole,
- 27:06SPEAKER_00: though,
- 27:07SPEAKER_00: against the show.
- 27:08SPEAKER_00: We might show a hole at it that might be,
- 27:09SPEAKER_00: you know,
- 27:10SPEAKER_00: more on the 15-minute side of,
- 27:11SPEAKER_00: like,
- 27:11SPEAKER_00: every single read that's possible.
- 27:13So it just kind of depends on the day and kind of how coach is
- 27:16feeling and also how
- 27:16SPEAKER_00: many,
- 27:17SPEAKER_00: like,
- 27:18SPEAKER_00: clips we have from practice from the last day we're showing as well.
- 27:21SPEAKER_00: And here's here's that example I was mentioning earlier,
- 27:23SPEAKER_00: like we'll go two ends a lot,
- 27:25SPEAKER_00: offense and defense,
- 27:26SPEAKER_00: or we'll just play one on one.
- 27:27SPEAKER_00: So you can see if they're tagging off this two side,
- 27:29SPEAKER_00: we're replicating this guy's holding until this pass gets here.
- 27:33SPEAKER_00: And then we're playing one on one.
- 27:34SPEAKER_00: So we think like one on one is one of the best ways,
- 27:37SPEAKER_00: you know,
- 27:37SPEAKER_00: to just get better as dual implications,
- 27:40SPEAKER_00: like working on closeouts.
- 27:41SPEAKER_00: You can never work on, I think, too many closeouts on the defensive side.
- 27:45SPEAKER_00: So it's really, really good.
- 27:47And Biz here,
- 27:48man,
- 27:49he's one of the highest level shooters I've been around.
- 27:51SPEAKER_00: He shot 49% from three and juggle on over 200 attempts.
- 27:56SPEAKER_00: One thing you'll see,
- 27:56SPEAKER_00: he's an elite shooter,
- 27:57SPEAKER_00: not the quickest guy in the world,
- 27:58SPEAKER_00: but you'll see how these go catches,
- 28:00SPEAKER_00: even for him,
- 28:01SPEAKER_00: make him look so quick.
- 28:02So if you have non-shooters,
- 28:03stampedes,
- 28:04go catches are great ways for them to break the paint.
- 28:07SPEAKER_00: Then here on the defensive side,
- 28:09SPEAKER_00: Coach Cooper,
- 28:10SPEAKER_00: he's from the NBA,
- 28:11SPEAKER_00: really high-level defensive mind.
- 28:13He's so good,
- 28:13too,
- 28:13with scaffolding and building our defense from the ground up.
- 28:17SPEAKER_00: So we might be on one end doing,
- 28:19SPEAKER_00: whether it's concepts out of the shell,
- 28:20SPEAKER_00: like you saw the pick and roll.
- 28:22SPEAKER_00: On the other end, we might be doing defense.
- 28:24SPEAKER_00: But we'll, again here, we'll do some scoring, right?
- 28:26SPEAKER_00: Like every point might be on a deflection, on no strike pass.
- 28:30SPEAKER_00: Like we'll incentivize the defense as well for ways to have them scoring.
- 28:36SPEAKER_00: Because every drill that we do in practice, there's a winner and a loser.
- 28:39SPEAKER_00: And we either do pushups or sprints after that.
- 28:41SPEAKER_00: And at the end of practice, like based on the wins.
- 28:44SPEAKER_00: So we're really big on tracking like win percentage and all of that.
- 28:47So that's a big way too that we try to make sure there's a
- 28:50winner and losing
- 28:50SPEAKER_00: everything that it is.
- 28:51SPEAKER_00: So it's very competitive.
- 28:53SPEAKER_00: Even in our shooting drills too.
- 28:54SPEAKER_00: And I'll show you later in some of our finishing stuff.
- 28:56SPEAKER_00: Like we keep scoring it as well.
- 28:59SPEAKER_00: Here's building up.
- 29:00SPEAKER_00: We went through all the reads of the show.
- 29:02SPEAKER_00: Now we might go blood drills.
- 29:04SPEAKER_00: This is where constraints really come in well.
- 29:06SPEAKER_00: I really love something that Coach Panone does.
- 29:08SPEAKER_00: He's so creative with all these different games.
- 29:11SPEAKER_00: Here now we're in a blood drill.
- 29:13SPEAKER_00: We're playing out of the show.
- 29:14SPEAKER_00: The defense has to let the ball get to the short roll.
- 29:17SPEAKER_00: Once the ball gets to the short roll, we are live.
- 29:20SPEAKER_00: Not until it gets to the short roll.
- 29:21Then we're naturally playing out of all these reads that we
- 29:24worked on earlier.
- 29:25And a lot of this,
- 29:26like,
- 29:26we've only repped to,
- 29:27like,
- 29:27one or twice with these guys.
- 29:28SPEAKER_00: You can see how it's naturally occurring.
- 29:30SPEAKER_00: So that's why,
- 29:31SPEAKER_00: like,
- 29:32SPEAKER_00: I can't say enough,
- 29:32SPEAKER_00: like,
- 29:33the scaffolding and building on and layering your stuff in
- 29:35practice is a game
- 29:37SPEAKER_00: changer.
- 29:38SPEAKER_00: Here's a similar thing out of the CPAS, right?
- 29:40So now instead of we said,
- 29:42hey,
- 29:42we're constraining once it gets to the shore,
- 29:44we're live.
- 29:44Now we're saying,
- 29:45hey,
- 29:46once this CPAS occurs,
- 29:47you can't steal this pass,
- 29:48then we're live.
- 29:50SPEAKER_00: Here's a really good one, right?
- 29:51SPEAKER_00: This is why moving it early, moving it twice against the show is so hard.
- 29:54SPEAKER_00: If you get two on the ball, you engage two.
- 29:57SPEAKER_00: That's that pass that we all really want to get.
- 29:59SPEAKER_00: And the last thing I'll go through is just some daily bread drills.
- 30:04SPEAKER_00: These are the kind of things that we do every day.
- 30:06SPEAKER_00: So you mentioned earlier kind of like what we work on.
- 30:08SPEAKER_00: This is a big, this incorporates a lot, right?
- 30:10SPEAKER_00: It's ball handling.
- 30:11SPEAKER_00: It's our confrontational drives.
- 30:13SPEAKER_00: It's passing and it's also shooting.
- 30:15SPEAKER_00: So we'll rep different passes.
- 30:16SPEAKER_00: This can change day to day.
- 30:17SPEAKER_00: This is one of our most common drills that we do.
- 30:20Ball handling,
- 30:21passing,
- 30:22confrontational drive,
- 30:23kick down past the corner.
- 30:26SPEAKER_00: You can tell everyone's rotating, right?
- 30:28SPEAKER_00: But these are just big things that we work on.
- 30:32SPEAKER_00: We're really sticklers about the teams will be on each end.
- 30:34So you can see like Scarlett's on this end,
- 30:36Black will be on the other end.
- 30:37SPEAKER_00: And the only time we'll count a made shot is if it's a strike pass.
- 30:40SPEAKER_00: So if the pass is not in the window,
- 30:42SPEAKER_00: I mentioned earlier,
- 30:43like 42 passes are so important for us that we will not count
- 30:46any mates that don't
- 30:47SPEAKER_00: include those.
- 30:49SPEAKER_00: Here's an early hook pass.
- 30:51SPEAKER_00: It's just getting off it early.
- 30:52SPEAKER_00: This is really big.
- 30:53Just reading that low man,
- 30:54if he's already in the paint,
- 30:56we want to get off it quick.
- 30:57This is where a lot of times naturally a cut won't occur
- 31:00because we might be making
- 31:01SPEAKER_00: this pass right here.
- 31:02But if we get a little deeper,
- 31:03then we want them to obviously cut the gap in the show.
- 31:07SPEAKER_00: Next one we got is baseline release.
- 31:08SPEAKER_00: Sometimes this low man might come late.
- 31:10SPEAKER_00: If for whatever reason you get rolled out,
- 31:13SPEAKER_00: then we'll make a baseline release pass to the corner.
- 31:17SPEAKER_00: And there's just so many different,
- 31:18SPEAKER_00: I think it's the things that you want to emphasize as a coach,
- 31:20like the passes that you want to make sure you guys make once
- 31:24you get to games,
- 31:24SPEAKER_00: like these are things that to just start and build up in your drills.
- 31:29SPEAKER_00: And then here, this is really, really hard to defend is the pull behind.
- 31:33SPEAKER_00: So we drive this slot,
- 31:34SPEAKER_00: we want to pull behind,
- 31:35SPEAKER_00: especially like if that seeker man drops at all,
- 31:37SPEAKER_00: it's really hard to recover back to your man.
- 31:40SPEAKER_00: So make this pull behind pass.
- 31:42SPEAKER_00: And for any coaches like Coach Pannon is huge on like open practices.
- 31:46SPEAKER_00: Anytime you guys would want to come,
- 31:47SPEAKER_00: you can reach out to me or reach out to someone on our staff.
- 31:50SPEAKER_00: But we're really big on just open.
- 31:52SPEAKER_00: He's big on open practice policy.
- 31:54SPEAKER_00: We've already had a lot of people attend practice.
- 31:56So anyone that wants to definitely you can reach out to anyone
- 31:59on our staff.
- 32:00SPEAKER_00: We'd love to love to have you.
- 32:02SPEAKER_01: How often I'm assuming it's daily bread because you do it every day.
- 32:06SPEAKER_01: How much time do you guys spend with that?
- 32:09SPEAKER_00: It's about eight minutes for that shooting.
- 32:12SPEAKER_00: I honestly just kind of labeled a daily bread.
- 32:13SPEAKER_00: Coach Cooper calls that a lot.
- 32:15SPEAKER_00: Coach, we'll kind of rotate Coach Pino and Will, like our warm-up drills.
- 32:19SPEAKER_00: So one day it might have been that.
- 32:20We try to do spacing and shooting,
- 32:22though,
- 32:23like re-spacing and spacing every day.
- 32:24SPEAKER_00: So it's usually eight to ten minutes of shooting.
- 32:27SPEAKER_00: But it won't be every day.
- 32:28Some days we might do the pick and roll and the cutting
- 32:30together,
- 32:30you know.
- 32:31SPEAKER_00: So it can vary.
- 32:32SPEAKER_00: But almost every day Coach wants to get into shooting a re-spacing drill.
- 32:36SPEAKER_00: And it can be anywhere like eight to 10 minutes,
- 32:38those first three like segments before then we start going to
- 32:41like advantage
- 32:41SPEAKER_00: drills,
- 32:42blood drills and different things to move on to then five on
- 32:44five and playing at
- 32:45SPEAKER_00: the end.
- 32:45SPEAKER_01: This was fantastic, and I have to have you back now.
- 32:48Maybe I'll give you at least till the end of the season to be
- 32:51able to get your feet
- 32:52SPEAKER_01: underneath of you.
- 32:53SPEAKER_01: People are going to want to connect with you about this.
- 32:56SPEAKER_01: Where is the best place that they can reach you?
- 32:58Yeah,
- 32:59the best place is honestly just through Twitter or Instagram,
- 33:01probably.
- 33:02SPEAKER_00: My username is just ZacharyHop3 on both of those platforms.
- 33:06SPEAKER_00: So definitely anyone can reach out.
- 33:09SPEAKER_00: We're pretty good about to just like sharing drills.
- 33:11SPEAKER_00: We've had multiple like
- 33:13coaches in college even come to practices and we share a lot of
- 33:17what we do.
- 33:18SPEAKER_00: So I'd love to just connect,
- 33:20reach out if anybody has any questions or wants further dives
- 33:23on any of this stuff.
- 33:24SPEAKER_01: Even if you're not reaching out, connect with him on Twitter.
- 33:27I spent the other day looking through some of the clips that
- 33:29you had and added some
- 33:30SPEAKER_01: new things to my playbook for this year,
- 33:32SPEAKER_01: a couple of actions.
- 33:33SPEAKER_01: So I'm super pumped about that.
- 33:34Has a lot of NBA stuff and college stuff and the experience
- 33:37that you're getting
- 33:38with the TBT and now merging that into the stuff that I know
- 33:41Coach Pannon already
- 33:42SPEAKER_01: has.
- 33:42And I think it's going to be a deadly combination and it's
- 33:45super helpful for me.
- 33:46SPEAKER_01: And it's been fantastic.
- 33:48SPEAKER_01: So Zach, I appreciate you coming on the show, man.
- 33:50SPEAKER_00: Definitely.
- 33:51SPEAKER_00: Thanks, coach.
- 33:51SPEAKER_00: I really appreciate it.
