The "Opposite George" Seinfeld episode illustrates, "do more of what works and less of what isn't."
We see basketball teams and players that can learn from Opposite George. What opportunities lead the Opposite George parade?
Not looking. You didn't look ahead, catch and survey, drive when you had the angle, or pass when you had an open man. VDE. Vision, decision, execution.
Just watching. You came, you saw, you stood. If you're aware and alert and do nothing, you're not helping. Coach Wooden reminds us, "Never confuse activity with achievement."
Dot B means, "take a breath" not stop everything.
"No, No." Shot selection. "What was THAT?" Take quality shots not quantity shots.
Conversion. You're unaware and unalert. The team is playing four on the floor while you're lost in space. WE are not amused. Find your player immediately on D and get moving offensively. "There's drill for that."
Drill: Coach blows the whistle and the ballhandler must immediately drop the ball and defense converts to offense and vice versa.
Transition. Basketball is a sprinting game. You're not sprinting. Or you're running back but mentally on vacation. Or you're buddy running. Sprint back fully engaged.
Lagniappe:
When teams trap out of the 2-3 defense, overloading quickly to the ballside block and elbow pressures the middle of the defense. If 3 moves the ball quickly to either, then the other usually has a basket cut pressuring the interior (x5).
