Basketball: Final Words for 2023, Cliches That Endure

Cliches add value when they transmit truth. These impact winning. 

1. Better shot selection is the quickest path to better scoring.

2. Turnovers kill dreams. 

3. "Fouls negate hustle." 

4. "Great offense is multiple actions." 

5. "Great defense is multiple efforts."

6. "The ball is gold." (Don't give it away)

7. Analytics matter. Bad teams have bad stats. 

8. Every player wants minutes, shots, and recognition. "You earn your paycheck." - Kevin Eastman

9. "The ball is a camera." If you want to get it, the ball has to see you. 

10.Become a "possession ender." Scores, rebounds, and stops win games. 

Lagniappe. Learn more techniques to get separation... negative step, stampede, lateral drift, split catch.

Lagniappe 2. Teach to the level of our players. This excellent instructional video is for advanced players. If our team isn't scoring 30 points per game, it's not because they haven't integrated these skills. 

Re-Screen Shooting

We put 2 players in a sideline action. In this segment we got them numerous game-like actions:

- DHO
- Ball Screen
- Pass/Lob
- DHO for Shot

Be efficient with your skill segments. You don't always have to give them just 1 thing. pic.twitter.com/mDwSWkokDS
