Fast Five Plus: Measuring Basketball IQ

Gauging improvement without measurement creates subjectivity. We can ask our players questions to get and give feedback. 

1. Describe how score and situation might affect our TEMPO. 

2. Describe an inappropriate shot for a specific situation. 

3. Name a couple of offensive basketball actions benefited by tight defense.

4. Describe a few situations where a coach might call a timeout. 

5. Describe when strategic fouling might have value. 

6. How does spacing help you offensively or limit the defense? 

7. Describe any three ways to defend the pick-and-roll. Which is our primary technique? 

8. Name any disadvantage of ball screening. 

9. Draw an inbounds play (BOB or SLOB) and ask players to run it on the court. 

10.Define "defensive balance" and what is our teaching about it. 

If we gave our team this test, what percentage of the players do you think would get over forty percent correct?
