Basketball: Teaching Highlights

Study film regularly.

Force to tape? Kevin Eastman preaches 'force to tape' meaning an imaginary piece of tape between the basket and sideline. Sometimes players defeat that as Porzingis gets the angle. 


Help on the drive (draw 2) results in an impossibly long closeout. NBA players are too good for this. 


Urgent cutting off a fake handoff with on-time, on-target passing for two.
 

Do we teach this often enough? Reject the ball screen and attack.
 

"Great offense is multiple actions." Sport rewards separation via screening and hard cutting.
 

In the Raptor two-man game, the Celtics double the post and the Raptors reestablish the mismatch with Siakam going "mouse in the house" on White. 


This is pretty and a bit unusual. Raptors get ball reversal via a short roll pass from the wing to the midpost. 


Another good example of ball reversal, through the post with a "one more" pass for a triple.
