STRATEGY & COACHING TIPS:
* Offensive Rule after Secondary Break that doesn't result in a score: 3 passes unless a lay-up (let defense make a mistake)...Roy Williams
* Being a winner in basketball comes down to three things: conditioning, fundamentals, and teamwork."....Bill Sharman
*"Make sure players don't feel like a commodity...treat them like individuals."....Billy Gillispie
* "I believe there is less individual teaching of footwork than ever before. The skills of clever movement and good balance have been sacrificed in many coaches' minds for high jumping and physically overpowering skills."....Pete Newell
* "Many coaches who are not committed to a zone get out of a zone if opponent hits 2 or 3 threes in a row (would you get out of your man-to-man if they did that?"....Tom Klusman
* "The press forces our kids to be in great shape and play very hard with a high level of intensity. Because of this, our pressing team becomes extremely difficult to prepare for, simulate and ultimately play against. Unless you practice and play this way every day, you may be in for a difficult time."....Bobby Gonzalez
* "Rebounding, we feel, is the most controllable. It keys our fastbreak, makes up for a poor shooting game, limits the number of shots a good shooting team will take, demoralizes and intimidates an opponent, and changes an opponent's game preparation." ....Jim Calhoun
* "The first and foremost job in team man-for-man defense is to stop penetration." ....Tim Floyd
* "When practicing free throws, players should never quit on a miss. They should make sure the very last free throw is a swish."....Dr. Tom Amberry
* Coaches hate to give up the 3-point shot. Because of this they tend to constantly stress to their players to defensively attempt to stop the 3-point shooter. Therefore, the use of a good 3-point shooter as a decoy can achieve strategic offensive results. In both man and zone offensive patterns, encourage the good 3-point shooter to remain outside the 3-point line even though he may have little, if any, intention of shooting the ball. The defense will tend to stay out toward him and free up the middle for inside play. This decoy ploy has the effect of "stretching out the defense."
