FEATURED COACHING TIPS

* "Sell the drive to earn the jumper....sell the jumper to earn the drive."...Murray Arnold

* "American players work after they get the ball--International players work before they get the ball."...Craig Ehlo

* Good footwork gives the player the ability to attack regardless of where or how he catches the ball. Coaches must introduce their players to their feet---in other words, teach footwork."...Kevin Eastman

* In their eagerness to play the game fast, players do things too fast or too early -- coming off screens, better to be late than early."...Tates Locke

* Best shooters in the NBA shoot with their feet under their shoulders."...Kevin Eastman

* "Kevin Garnett wants to be the best player in every game...and to be the best player in every practice."...Kevin Eastman

* "I must work on the mechanics and basics every single day."...Kevin Garnett


OTHER COACHING IDEAS

* The better shooter you are, the better shot fake you must have.

* "When a shot goes up, every player should be moving with a purpose."... Tates Locke

* Players will try to do what the coach emphasizes.

* "Teach your players to both shot fake and pass fake.

* "The quality of your game equals the quality of your feet."...Jim Burson

* A coach must have confidence enough in himself to let his assistants do a lot of teaching.

* "The team that makes the least amount of gambles, WINS!"...Kevin Eastman


FEATURED QUOTES:

"Success in anything is about focus and concentration. When I coached, I'd say to the players, "Yes, I know you played hard, but that's not good enough. You've got to stay focused on the task at hand the entire game."...Rick Barry

"If there is any one secret of effectiveness, it is concentration. Effective executives do first things first and they do one thing at a time."...Peter Drucker

"After the Georgetown-North Carolina title game in 1982 where Michael hit the winning shot, MJ said, 'I could see myself hitting the shot. I could see it on the bus, on the way to the game.' "...John Swofford

"There is no medicine like hope. No incentive so great, and no tonic so powerful as expectation of something better tomorrow."...Orson Swett Marsden

"You've achieved success in your field when you don't know whether what you're doing is work or play."...Warren Beatty


TRANSFORM YOUR GAME AND MAXIMIZE YOUR SKILLS WITH PRE-PRACTICE SUCCESS PROGRAMMING

By

Mike Mahon
Professional Basketball Performance Consultant

Do you ever wonder why you go to the gym and sometimes feel lethargic, while other times you are pumped up to set a personal best in your workout? Do you wish that you could consistently practice at high levels of intensity and continually improve your performance with every set and rep of each drill every single time you decide to workout?

If I could show you a step-by-step blueprint to guarantee your success, and allow you to determine the exact outcome of your basketball practice session would you use it?

If you said yes to any of the following questions, then you will absolutely love what I am about to share with you....MORE


SPECIAL STRATEGY IDEAS:

* Score is tied with 20 seconds to go. Opponent has ball and calls time out. Make sure you substitute your 5 best defensive players. If the situation is in reverse, you might not want to call time out to keep your opponents best defenders out of the game. Whether you do call timeout will be determined by how much you have practiced the last minute situation.

* When you make a free throw to tie or take the lead in the last 15-20 seconds of a game, call timeout so that you can sub your best defenders into the game.

When using the zone press, (1) use two or more alignments and change from one to the other, (2) Take it off (if opponent successfully attacks) and put it back on a few minutes later (often the opponent does not attack as well the next time).

* When your opponent is shooting a free throw to win or tie with seconds left in the game, use any method available to distract his/her concentration. (1) Call time-out, (2) Substitute more than once, (3) Have a players comment to the shooter, (4) Have your captain talk to the referee. Use any distraction you can to break the shooter's concentration.

Note:  Different strategy ideas will be presented on a regular basis.You are invited to collect them for your coaching library. Even more, you are invited to e-mail strategy ideas to BasketballsBest for inclusion here. Send your ideas to:   basketballsbest@basketballsbest.com
