THE STARTING FIVE

🥇 Best of the Week Coach Chris Mack detailed “The Riley Test” on X - it’s that time of the year to get in shape and bond over mutual suffering conditioning

PG - ⭕️ Every couple of days or so a coach DMs me showing a clip of their team using the Circle Motion Offense… it melts my heart

SG - 📈 Internal polling confirms this is the most versatile play in high school basketball

It can be used effectively against man-to-man, 2-3 zone, 3-2 zone, and 1-3-1 zone defenses

SF - 👯 Coach Kramer is a master at teaching 4v4 Shell Defense

PF - 🐥 I love drills that teach players important things and also that the players love participating in… We call that a “win-win”

C - 🏀 Are you looking for a new simple shooting drill for your team? Try “5-Up Shooting”

I love it for a game day shoot around… competitive but loose shooting reps

I can just feel the enthusiasm for high school basketball picking up… In my opinion, you can set yourself up for failure or success by how you personally treat the preseason.

You need to plan for your season, but you have to also take care of yourself so your charged up once tryouts happen and practices start.

Here are my top 3 tips to personally be prepared:

1. Spend quality time with your friends & family NOW

It does wonders for your mental health and time is limited once the season begins

2. Go to a coaching clinic

Network, socialize, learn, get energized

3. Commit to a personal exercise & diet routine

Time and energy are at a premium in season… with a built-in routine, you are more likely to see your habits through

Have a great week!
