... But Do They Have The Skills?

If you are going to run an entry over 30 times during the game, please practice the skills necessary to make the play work. Now, I get that the the high screen and roll is the hot thing- all the NBA guys are doing it, most college teams are doing it, then high school and younger teams should be doing it, right?

Wrong. Unless your team has the skill set to make the play work, you should not be running this two-man play. Instead, use the time in practice you would have spent working on the play to work on the skills necessary to make the play work.

More on that as we go.

So you want to know who is giving you all this advice? Okay, your advisor is an ex-college and professional coach. Fired a bunch, hired a lot more, created programs, and stood at the helm of teams that played their hearts out every game. Career record: 392 wins and 135 losses. Recruited players from virtually every state, and several countries including, Poland, Germany, England, Canada, and Brazil. Does American Samoa count as another country? Probably not. Retired now so that I can coach my own kids.
