Etorre Messina Principles and a Movement/Spacing Drill

So many great videos share elite coaching and concepts. FIBA has amazing video. I continually remind players that basketball is a game of "cutting and passing." Sometimes showing them means more. We all have to decide which drills apply for our purposes. 


Etorre Messina was phenomenally successful in Europe and has a big role for the Spurs. He emphasizes ball movement, communicating, shooting. "You have moments for teaching and moments for competing." 

Penetrate, kick, and space. 

He emphasizes communication needs within drills...encouragement and expectations. He wants to know what makes here (Spurs) unique. 

Competitive shooting drill:

Shoot from different spots (corner, elbow, wing, top of key, bank shots)
