Coaching Advice, Part 8

Wright State assistant coach Will Rey believes the following skip passes are effective against zone defenses: guard or wing to corner, short corner to wing, wing to wing.

Oklahoma head coach Kelvin Sampson runs a one-minute shooting drill where players will take a shot, get a rebound, take two dribbles away from the basket, square up, and shoot again. They must take 15 attempts and make at least 10 shots during this drill.

Larry Shyatt, Clemson head coach, runs a drill where they play five-on-five and the offense tries to run as many sets as possible in two minutes.

Tennessee women’s head coach Pat Summitt defends ball screens four different ways: switch, show numbers and step over the top, step back, and slide through.

UT-Chattanooga head coach Mack McCarthy runs a 1-1-3 match-up zone because he wants a zone where he can pressure the offense, vary his looks, disrupt patterns, and be unpredictable.

Samford head coach Pat Tillette will use the following tactics to work on his offense: play no dribble, demand a certain category of shot, and only allow certain players to shoot.

Former Virginia Commonwealth head coach Sonny Smith taught three moves in the post: a power move, a speed move, and a hesitation move.

Will Rey uses the following stacks against a zone defense: double low, split stack (one at foul line, one on block), and a triple stack.

Nebraska women’s head coach Paul Sanderford tells his players to throw what they cannot take back.

Former George Washington head coach Tom Penders prefers to have two point guards on the floor instead of a point guard and a shooting guard.

If the ball is above the foul line, Pat Summitt wants her post defenders to be on the high side of the offensive player. If the ball is below the foul line, Pat Summitt teaches her post defenders to front.

Arkansas head coach Nolan Richardson says, “take your practice to the game.”

Regardless of zone offense, Mack McCarthy thinks it is best if you can reverse the ball to three people.

In his shooting drills, Jimmy Tillette wants screeners to shoot as well as cutters. He also wants his players to pass to the shooters.

On a pass to the short corner against a zone, Sonny Smith taught his high post to cut to the low post.
