Teachhoops.com⁠In this episode, we tackle the strategic debate that divides many coaching staffs: the balance between crashing the offensive glass and getting back on defense. We analyze the risk-reward ratio of offensive rebounding in high school basketball, discussing why the NBA "get back" analytics don't always apply to the varsity level where shooting percentages are lower and second-chance points are often the difference-maker. We explore different philosophies, such as sending three to the

https://teachhoops.com/ The "three-legged stool" of a high school coach's life—career, coaching, and family—is notoriously wobbly. In this episode, we address the silent struggle that drives many great coaches out of the profession: the overwhelming guilt of trying to be everything to everyone. We discuss the reality of the "invisible hours"—the film study at the dinner table, the mental absence even when you are physically present, and the strain that a four-month season places on spouses and

Basketball Coach Unplugged (A Basketball Coaching... ·

2025/12/19

https://teachhoops.com/There is no quicker way to kill an offense than a player who pounds the air out of the ball while four teammates stand and watch. In this episode, we tackle the epidemic of over-dribbling that plagues high school and youth basketball, often fueled by "mixtape culture" and a misunderstanding of what actually creates offense. We discuss why the "ball stopper" destroys team rhythm, allows the defense to rest, and ultimately leads to lower-percentage shots and increased

In this episode, we look at practice planning not just as a checklist of drills, but as a study in flow and energy management. We discuss the "art" of sequencing your time on the court, ensuring that you aren't asking for high-mental focus immediately after a physically exhausting conditioning segment, or conversely, letting

Teachhoops.com⁠ In today’s episode, we dig into one of the most underrated parts of basketball strategy: out-of-bounds plays. Most coaches treat them like filler. The best coaches treat them like gold. O.B. actions can steal you possessions, break scoring droughts, and flip momentum in tight moments. We’ll talk about why every team needs a simple O.B. package, how to teach reads instead of memorization, and the three situations every coach should have answers for: under-the-basket, sideline
