Study the Game - WNBA Finals Teaching Clips


Postup position informs "homeless" (outside), "renter" (block), and homeowner (lane). Angel Reese is a homeowner. 


"Basketball is a game of separation." Then, "eyes make layups." 


Catch, face up and attack the "open gate." One dribble move by Reese.
 

"Gravity" creates opportunity. Reese ghost screen draws a tag, opening a pass for a three-pointer. Not a screen assist, but "silent" contribution from Reese. 


Trailer into three...Reese went 2-2 from beyond the arc. 


"Live-ball turnovers" convert into high "points per possession" offense. 


Watch how the shooter gets open...it's a Reese screen that pins the defender. Playing without the ball often doesn't get respect. 


"Draw 2" or "penetrate and pass" or "drive and dish." Do you allow help off the filled corner? 


"Fall in love with easy." Separate and finish. Williams goes Hesi 101 and finishes with an extended layup. 


Player development...teach players to finish with either hand off either foot from either side of the rim. 


Respect power, speed, strength, and skill in the DPoY...
