Catch Up

At this point, to nobody's surprise, our defense is ahead of our offense, because we don't have the experience or expertise to make complex plays on a regular basis. Not to worry. We are ahead of schedule.

In addition to developing the skills, we are trying to understand basic comprehension of the game. Some teachers break offensive skills into inside, mid-range, and outside game (also know as post, intermediate-range, and perimeter).

There isn't any shortcut to proficiency...as the only path involves repetition, repetition, and more repetition. I've emailed the drills to the players to work on the shooting drills needed, and we'll work (in the offseason) to help the post players (also known as the bigs) with fundamental skills.

Here's a very thoughtful video from former Celtic Sam Cassell on the intermediate-game.

I like to teach one dribble moves...but this video is excellent.
