Teaching points from Mike McKay
Does an activity (drill) result in "transfer" and "retention"?
Develop an IPP (Individual performance plan)...
I like his concept of "outside lane" (outside the volleyball court). I'm tired of yelling "run wide"...
Prefers pull-ups over floaters "a floater is a reason for a bad shot".
Includes requiring finishes "outside the smile" (NBA charge line)
"Space pivot" to get both force and balance (at about 11 minutes)
"Dribble center" - parallels into "turn the corner" or "crossover dribble"
"Talk your demonstration..." - show and tell.
Fakes to "enlarge the space" passing ("find the window")
"Break the three-in-a-row" (Simple concept for receiver)
"Burning daylight" (tempo)
Combination entry and decisions for 5/1 with defense
"Coaches are making judgments on you...even when it's boring stuff from an old guy."
My culture is the most important thing...learning, energy giving.
Critical for players to anticipate/read teammates movements.
"PVAD" - good POSITIONING, improves VISION, allows ANTICIPATION, yields DECISION
Disruptive defense disturbs positioning.
"You cannot get position"...totally disruptive. "The most disruptive thing you can do on defense is ball pressure."
"Are you allowing players to 'play darts'?"
"The game is won by the team making the most uncontested layups." Tough to win if you aren't getting inside scoring.
