Have an identifiable texture like 70's Indiana, 80's Georgetown or UNLV, "Forty Minutes of Hell," or the forever Orange of Syracuse and their 2-3 zone? Great coaches win with different styles.
What do you want from your program? We don't always get it.
1) Play fundamentally well at both ends.
2) Be efficient...take care of the ball, take quality shots.
3) Compete every day on and off the court.
4) Never quit.
5) Learn life lessons to apply going forward.
Of course, collegiate coaches recruit to their system while others construct their program around their available talent.
Which raises the question, how do you develop and practice?
Drills. DHO Continuous.
If one favors DHO actions, then continuous DHO offers player and ball movement. We can add a weakside post which offers both a past and secondary screening option.
Adding defense is the next iteration.
Concepts. Self-scouting.
- What works?
- What doesn't work?
- What can work with our personnel?
Where will our points arise?
- Transition (particularly defense into offense)
- Perimeter game (3s)...if so, off what actions (e.g. penetrate and pass, passing out of the short roll, designed plays)
- Set plays looking for layups
- Offensive rebounding
- Free throws
