Errol Gauff: Team Building

I found this resource to be rather useful in regards to team building.  This is an area that I am always looking for new ideas to keep our team close.  A lot of the time, it is team chemistry that decides the success of the season, not the X and O side of the game.

Ronnie Enoch: 3 Man Defend Drill

Here is a nice defensive drill that encompasses a number of defensive concepts.  One of the most under taught defensive concepts, in my opinion, is footwork on a closeout.  This is something that should be worked on every day.  Hopefully this drill is one that you can use to help your players in this area.

Hopefully they fit what you do. If not, study them and modify them to fit your philosophy.

Competitive Rebounding Drills

Teaching rebounding can be a tough area to teach.  Teaching rebounding out out of a man set than teaching rebounding out a zone set.  Teaching rebounding out of a zone set can be different than teaching it out out rotational concept. Therefore, we are going to explore some different rebounding philosophies.  Hopefully, you can find something that fits your philosophy to the game.

Motion Shooting Drills

From an offensive standpoint, motion offense is on the funnest things to watch when executed properly.  There a variety of motion offenses, and it takes a special coach to effectively teach motion offense.  Here is a good resource that provides a number of combination shooting drills that will help build up your motion offense.

College Sets Playbook

Even though I personally don't like using a lot of sets in our offense, I really do like studying them.  I like to look at sets, and then modifying them or using parts of them to fit the strengths or our players.  With that being said, I came across this playbook that has some really nice set actions used at the college level.  This resource provides a variety of scoring actions in both man and zone sets.  Study the actions, and think how they might play into your system.  Think about the strengths of your players skill sets and modify them to put your players in situations where they can be successful.

BLOB Plays

Here is a nice collection of baseline out of bounds plays.  The best coaches look to score out of baseline out of bounds situations.  Each coach should take some time looking at ways to get his/her best players scoring opportunities out of these situations.  Sometimes, in my opinion, the more simple the play, the better.  It allows players to learn how to make the reads rather than learning a play that has complicated movements.

Belmont Box Sets

One thing I like about box sets is the flexibility.  There are so many things that you can do out of a box set that allow you to get into other offenses or even isolate a player.  This box set is ran by the Belmont Bruins.  I think you like the scoring actions used in this set.

Wil Rey: Ball Press

This press resource covers Wil Rey's Ball Press defense.  Coach Rey gives a number of great press concepts that allows teams to apply strong ball pressure while not giving up easy buckets.
