Quote of the Day
“Championships aren’t won on game day. They are won long before when a team finally commits to do all the hard work necessary to win.”  Jeff Janssen, Sports Psychologist

Word of the Day
MINDSET is the word our players came up with to describe our off-season program. What does it stand for?  https://masseybasketball.blogspot.com/2020/05/mindset.html

Legends Advice
Roy Williams, Men’s Basketball Coach at North Carolina- Sweat More

Reading of the Day
We have a new coach in our program this year, Coach Daniels. She will be an assistant on the varsity with Coach Barshinger and Coach Massey. Here is an interview with Coach Daniels, and then her teammates describe why they think she will be a good coach.

Stat of the Day
Possessions- This is a measure of how many times does a team have the ball each game. Statistically it can be figured by FGA’s + T.O.’s + (.4 x FTA’s) – Off Reb. We hope to be an uptempo team, which means we want a high number of possessions.
Examples-       1997- 68 possessions per game- 70.7 points per game
                        2020- 58 possessions per game- 51.0 points per game

Skill Instruction
At the beginning of each workout, you should do form shooting where you are focused on proper shooting technique. If you have trouble with your shot, move in closer. This is a good video where Coach Calipari, Kenturcky, breaks down shooting technique.

Team Concepts
We want to wear teams out by running on offense and pressing on defense. On offense, whether after a make or miss, we want the point guard to get to an outlet, and outlet the ball to them quickly. Whether we can score or not, we want to push the ball EVERY POSSESSION to wear the other team down. This video shows the numbered break we use.

Reminders
As part of weekly goals- also do 5 skills competitions- whether time/score is your best, text result to Coach Massey that day. Weekly running goal is up to 2.5 miles.



Day 2- Wed. May 27- “Driveway Camp”

Quote of the Day
“You can’t get much done in life if you only work on the days when you feel good.”   Jerry West

Word of the Day
Culture- Culture is the set of values and expectations that serve as the foundation of our team.

Legends Advice
UConn has a “championship culture”- here is Geno Auriemma talking about expectations.

Reading of the Day
Greatness as a player and greatness starts with having a vision.  

Stat of the Day
Assist- It is a pass that leads to a score. It is a measure of good team work if a team has a high number of assists. Assists are a positive measure of ball handling and unselfishness.

Skill Instruction
An important offensive skill is a shot fake. To be effective, a shot fake must look like a shot. Players often make the fake too fast. Bring the ball up to your face like you are going to shoot.

Team Concepts
Fastbreak basketball is an attitude. To be effective, you cannot run sometimes- it has to be every possession you are going to run. The key to a good fastbreak is the first 2 seconds- point guard gets to outlet and rebounder gets them ball- all in less than 2 sec.
When Other Team Scores- Our #5 must get the ball out quickly. Our #1 must sprint to outlet. In ideal situation, our #1 catches on the run.
This is a simple drill with young players showing the idea of a point guard getting outside for the outlet. As soon as a point guard gets the outlet they should be pushing the ball up the court.    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9bbQHNAG5Yg
This is a simple rebound drill showing the concept of rebounding and getting the ball out quickly.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DX_LNgP2J80
This is a coach showing the numbered break with a drawing on the court.

Reminders
On a varsity level- we really need 3-4 players on the court who can make threes. On JH or FS level, shooting 20-25% make you a star.  On varsity level if you are shooting under 30%, the coach will discourage you from shooting threes. If you want to become a good three point shooter shoot 50-100 threes per day, great shooters shoot 100-200 threes per day. Set a goal of shooting so many threes- then each day record makes/attempts. 

Day 3, Thu May 28- “Driveway Camp

Quote of the Day
“It’s not the will to win that matters- everyone has that. It’s the will to prepare to win that matters.”    Paul “Bear” Bryant, HOF Football Coach

Shanell Jackson didn’t get to play a lot as a junior. She decided to do something about it. Here she describes what motivated her and what she did.  http://masseybasketball.blogspot.com/2011/04/my-motivation-shanell-jackson.html

Stat of the Day
Turnovers Per Possession- It measures what pct. of the time does a possession end in a turnover. This past season, 27% of our possessions ended in turnovers. Recent teams who have won Regional titles, turned the ball over between 15-18% of their possessions. That means we got about 8 less shots per game because of turnovers.

Skill Instruction
When a player has the opportunity, they need to attack the basket. You do not try to avoid contact, you try to go thru contact. Don’t ever go to basket hoping for a foul. Go to score.
John Calipari, Kentucky Men’s Coach  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cKyw7iVYgOc

Team Concepts
Again today, we are looking at the fastbreak. We want to play more uptempo this year. This video shows the numbered break and labels ways they score. For example- 1-2 for shot, 1-2-4 for score. This video is very good showing the mentality of attacking on offense with the concepts of the numbered break. WE WANT TO RUN!
This video has the 4 taking it out instead of the 5 like we do. And the point guard in this video is VERY LAZY- as a result they are slow with outlets and slow getting the ball out after makes. We want our point guard to fly out to the outlet on the right side on makes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTXdU8JaX3w

Reminders
It is not unusual after the first 2-3 games of the season to have a player who is unhappy with their role and with their playing time. And a player may come to us as coaches with the question, “What can I do to increase my playing time?” We can say general things like, they need to shoot better, they need to rebound better, they need to turn the ball over less, or they need to guard better. In November the answer becomes, “You need to focus on the drills and work to improve.” The real answer often is, “You should have worked harder on your skills in the summer.”
NOW IS THE TIME FOR YOU TO FOCUS ON EARNING PLAYING TIME!


Day 4, Fri May 29- “Driveway Camp

Quote of the Day
“Things turn out best for those who make the best of the way things turn out.”  John Wooden

Words of the Day
Next Play- To be successful, players must move onto the next play. Your focus has to be on NOW- not what happened the play before. Win each possession!

Legends Advice
Hard Defines Greatness         https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CCk0r_Jd79c

Reading of the Day
It is a mistake to think winning championships is easy. Everyone is working for the same thing- everyone is competing to win championships. The road to championships is not easy- it is tough.   http://masseybasketball.blogspot.com/2018/10/team-culture-it-dont-come-easy.html

Stat of the Day
Assists/Turnovers Ratio- This stat is a good measure of ball handling ability. When you have the ball, does the possession end with something good (assist) or something bad (turnover). The best ball handlers will have a 2 or 3 assists for every turnover. 

Skill Instruction
When you catch the ball, you should be in a triple threat position. That means you are low and you face the basket. Mistake #1- players make- stand up and put ball over their head- they can’t dribble or shoot from this position. Mistake #2- if a player feels pressure, they pivot away from the defense so they can’t pass, shoot or dribble. So correct option- catch, be low, rip the ball to face the basket.      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KYct_U274JA

Team Concepts
This first film is a drill used by many teams running the numbered break- Cycles. First trip #1 shoots, then #2, then #3, then #4, and finally #5. Notice how quickly #5 gets the ball out to #1 on the outlet. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6fVxB_K4qZA&t=117s
The second films are from Hudl (sorry Frosh-Soph- you don’t have access to this). There are 19 clips of Streaks teams from different years. Some of the clips show positive fastbreak segments, and others show common errors. Go to Hudl- Go to Video- Select-  Driveway Camp- Fastbreak.

Reminders
If you are a hard worker, and you have self-discipline- this is a great opportunity for you. Other players who are not as hard working or as self-disciplined may need a coach or a camp to “make them work.” You may be able to “pass up” some teammates and opponents because you will work hard on your own.

Day 5, Mon June 1- “Driveway Camp

Quote of the Day
“I don’t do things half-heartedly, because I know if I do, then I can expect half-hearted results.” Michael Jordan

Basketballisms
Ball Pressure- Defense is a mindset. We must always be willing to get and pressure the person with the ball. The offense cannot be comfortable, and they cannot see. We want a toughness in our defense.

Legends Advice
Coach Summit talking at half-time shows the toughness champions have to bring to a game.

Reading of the Day
All of our leaders- Coach Daniels talks about what you can be doing to show leadership.

Stat of the Day
Free Throw Percentage- It is figured by taking number of FT’s made and dividing it by number of FT’s attempted. Our varsity record for FT% in a season by a team was 71% in 1999. By an individual in a season was Bonny Apsey 88%. Most consecutive FT’s in games is 22 by Brenna Saline. Good varsity players should be shooting 75-80% in games.  

Skill Instruction
Closing out is the expression to describe when you are on defense, and your person receives a pass. You were probably in a help position so now you have to sprint to guard them. You need to- 1) sprint toward your person, 2) about 6-7 feet from your person- throw your hands up, chop your feet, get down into a stance. This video shows the technique.

Team Concepts
For us to be a pressure basketball team, we want to run on offense, and pressure on defense. Playing good pressure defense in the half-court is dependent upon guarding the basketball. The video shows principles of getting up and guarding the basketball. Close Out
The second films are from Hudl (FS- you don’t have access to this). We want to be able to apply pressure defensively in full & half-court. These clips show great ball pressure by Kaylah Townsell completely disrupting the offense. Go to Driveway Camp- KT Ball Pressure.

Reminders
Is your intensity closer to P.E. Class, or closer to basketball practice?
What is one skill you are trying to improve?


Day 6, Tue June 2- “Driveway Camp

Quote of the Day
“If you’re not positive energy, you’re negative energy.” Mark Cuban

Basketballisms
Guard Your Yard- When you are guarding the ball, you must have the ability to not allow straight line drives. If they go to the basket, that is going north-south, you must make them go sideways- east-west. If you take 3 feet to each side of you as a defender- that is your yard- the offense cannot ever be allowed to beat you in your yard- they have to go wide. 

Legends Advice
Successful defense takes an attitude of toughness. Michigan St coach, Tom Izzo- Toughness

Reading of the Day
Commitment by players helps build trust in our teammates.

Stat of the Day
“Winning the FT Line- Offensively teams who are aggressive draw more fouls. Defensively teams who don’t maintain good defensive position have to reach and try to block shots, so they foul. A team with +5 FT attempts wins 60% of the games, with +10 they win 70% of games, and +14 win 80% of games. Number of FT’s shot is a good predictor of success.

Skill Instruction
It is important to learn to defend with your feet- moving your feet- not reaching with your hands. It may seem basic but this video breakdowns footwork in Zig-Zag Drill.

Team Concepts
One of the great defenders in Kawhi Leonard. This video shows him not only pressuring the ball but maintaining position on them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QhUJhuVts_U

The second films are from Hudl (FS- you don’t have access to this). We want to be able to apply pressure defensively in full & half-court. These clips show examples of good and of bad defensive pressure on the ball. Go to Hudl- Go to Video- Go to Driveway Camp- Ball Pressure.

Day 7, Wed June 3- “Driveway Camp

Quote of the Day
“Today I will do what others won’t, so tomorrow I can accomplish what other can’t.”   Jerry Rice

Basketballisms
Pop Back- When on defense, if a player starts to dribble, the defense must “pop back.” The common error of a defender is that when offense starts to dribble, the defender just moves to right or left, loses the space to contain the dribbler. Pop back when they dribble.

Stat of the Day
Opponents Points per Possession- The best overall measure of our defense is how many points per possession the other team scores. They will have a lower pts/poss if we don’t give up easy shots, we don’t foul, and we force turnovers. 

Skill Instruction
Gap defense- describes a player being one pass away from the ball, being in a gap so the offensive player cannot drive into that gap. By being in a gap, they are already in a help position.
2 on 2 concept of gap defense- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=seQ6j12i8Sk

Team Concepts
Virginia men’s basketball is considered one of the best defensive teams in college basketball. This video is from their National Championship game. 1) They do not get beat off the dribble, 2) Their teammates are in position to give help in the gaps, 3) When the ball is passed, they close out fast and low.
The second films are from Hudl (FS- you don’t have access to this). These clips show- 1) Pressuring the ball, 2) Moving feet to contain ball,  3) Getting into gaps. Go to Driveway Camp-Guarding/Gapping.

Reminders

Let me know if you reach- 10,000 shots, 15,000 shots, 20,000 shots, etc.



Day 8, Thu June 5- “Driveway Camp

Quote of the Day
“Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.”      Thomas Edison

Basketballisms
Hedge- In a ball screen, the defender on the screener must “hedge” to help on dribbler. High Hedge- jump out next to screener to block the dribbler coming off the screener. Flat Hedge- get in dribblers pass but stay below the screener. Tag when ball screen is being set, a third defender must be ready to literally “tag” the screener when they roll. Screen defender helps the dribbler, and the tag helps the screener defender.

Stat of the Day
Field Goal Percentage- FG% is total shots made (2’s/3’s) divided by your shots attempted. Good players shoot 50% for 2’s and 35% for 3’s. Guards shoot 40-45FG% and posts 50FG%. If shooting pct. is low- “Are you a good shooter taking bad shots, or a bad shooter taking too many shots?” 

Skill Instruction
When defending players who sets a screen- the defender must early, loudly be yelling “Screen” to warn the defender on the ball. The defender of the screener then uses hedge technique.

Stat of the Day
Offensive Rebound Pct & Defensive Rebound Pct- OR% is offensive rebounds divided by our total missed shots. DR% is defense rebounds divided by opp. shots missed. Good teams get 40% OR% & 75% DR%. Last yr we got 35% OR% & 61% DR%. If we can get to 40 OR% & 75 DR%, it would mean swing of 10 possessions per game, and an additional gain of 10 points. So rebounding improvement would have resulted in 6 more wins & made us 24-8!!

Skill Instruction
Defensive Rebounding involves making contact. You must step into the offense and stop their movement.  Defensive Rebounding  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fvu-QCVfBzU

Team Concepts
An important part of team defense is having the ability to deny the ball into the low post. We may choose to ¾ deny or to totally front the post. Good post defense involves being physical and active.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FggSrFr-JLE

Points in the Paint- This describes scoring from inside- post feeds, driving to the basket, and offensive rebounding. Often the team who scores the most points in the paint wins, because they also tend to shoot the most free throws by getting the ball inside. 

Skill Instruction
Primary & Secondary Breaks- With a primary break, we get a 2 on 1 or 3 on 2 for hopefully an easy score. This is usually off of a steal. If the defense has gotten back, we don’t want to pull the ball out and yell “Set it up.” We want to keep the pressure on the defense going right into a Secondary Break. We don’t want to let up on the other team- we push the ball down the floor and then we immediately flow into a secondary. We keep the pressure on. We will flow into several secondary offenses. Carolina Break- this video shows possible options-

Stat of the Day
Ball Reversal- Ball reversal is when the ball starts on one side, and then is passed to the other side. So the defense has adjust to guarding two sides. A study show when teams: 1st Side Shot- 0.63 pt/possession, 2nd Side Shot- 0.88 pts/possession, 3rd Side Shot- 1.11 pts/possession. Ball reversal makes the other team work. 

Skill Instruction
An important part of team offense is having the ability to set a good, physical screen on the defender guarding the ball. You can’t run into them or move- or it is a foul. But you need to cut hard, come to jump stop. When you set your screen, always have your feet shoulder width apart, and make sure your rear points in the direction the ball handler wants to go.

Team Concepts
Our Fist play is known as European Ball Screen Offense. In this offense, it is important that: 1) Screener gets proper angle, 2) Ball handler doesn’t go until screen is set, late is better than early,  3) Ball handler always wants to drive to get a “piece of the lane,” 4) Screener must roll as soon as ball handler goes off their shoulder.

Stat of the Day
Effective Field Goal Pct.- eFG% takes into account that a made 3 point shot is one more point than a 2 FG. So while a play may make fewer of the threes attempted, it is looking at points scored per shot. The formula is  2FGMade + (1.5 x 3FGMade) divided by total FG attempts. So ideally a player wants to have eFG% of 50%, which means they are scoring an average of 1 pt per shot.

Fouls Are Errors- Most fouls are committed because a player is not in good defensive position. Bad players commit fouls, it give FREE shots to the other team. Since most players make less than 50% of their shots, fouling a shooter is a cardinal error. Don’t try to block every shot.

Day 16, Tue June 16- “Driveway Camp

Quote of the Day
“Teamwork is really a form of trust. It’s what happens when you surrender the mistaken idea that you can go it alone and realize that you won’t achieve your individual goals without the support of your colleagues.” – Pat Summitt

Basketballisms
Execute- Some players mistakenly think the idea of offense is to trick the other team. Good teams aren’t tricked- on offense you try to practice things so that you can execute your offense vs any defense. The tougher the team, the more you need to be focused on execution.  

Legends Advice

Team Concepts
Often players try to drive to the basket and complain the defender physically won’t let them. Or players drive to basket and get to the basket and have their shot fouled and don’t get any foul calls. This video explains how you should be initiating contact to beat and to finish at the basket. Creating Contact and Finishing Creating an Angle   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-9o-N5dwx4

Quote of the Day
“You can’t always be the most talented person in the room. But you can be the most competitive.” – Pat Summitt

Day 18, Thu June 18- “Driveway Camp

Quote of the Day
“You have to not only love the game, you have to love the training, the practices, and the competing. You have to love everything about it.”  Maya Moore

Day 19, Fri June 19- “Driveway Camp

Quote of the Day
“I don’t count my sit-ups, I only start counting when it starts hurting because they’re the only ones that count.”  Muhammed Ali

Basketballisms
Competitiveness- We use competition in sports to push us to work harder and to achieve more than we normally would. Competitiveness cannot be something you turn off and turn on. Championship teams compete in individual workouts, in practice, and then in games. Competing is a habit.

Team Concepts
We want to run on steals, misses, and makes.  
Numbered Break- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1mmYQs2adak
This video has the 4 taking it out instead of the 5 like we do. And the point guard in this video is VERY LAZY- as a result they are slow with outlets and slow getting the ball out after makes. We want our point guard to fly out to the outlet on the right side on makes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTXdU8JaX3w


Reminders
Keep working on weekly goals- 800 shots, 200 FT’s, 5 BH, 5 Strength, 5 Skill Challenges- Let’s get back to having over 20 players reaching the weekly goals!!

If all goes well with State, IHSA, Dist 205, Knox Co Health Dept- we are hoping to start practices the week of June 29. Tentative plan will be for us to practice 9-11 with varsity in Thiel, and Frosh & Soph in FH.

Keep working!! Those of you who have not been working- get it going!!
