Michael Jordan once said:

"I've missed more than 9,000 shots in my career... I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed."

And that is my segue into admitting that, yes, my Cleveland Cavs have made me look foolish 😞

This Cavs team is likely one of my 9,000 misses shots in my career.

While they've made me look foolish, not quite as foolish as when I picked #1 seed Purdue to win it all and they lost in the first round to #16 Fairleigh Dickenson

That was bad, bad.

You guys can stop bringing that up though, for real.

It was a long time ago. Try some grace and empathy for once 🥺

THE STARTING FIVE

🥇 Best of the Week The 1-3-1 Multiple Defense System is the ultimate rhythm breaker! Learn how to morph your zone:

PG - 💨 Do you like playing the game in the "fast lane?"

Here's 5 drills to work on your transition offense

SG - 🏀 Bob Huggins change of pace defense in the "Press Virginia" system was the 1-3-1 half court trap... you just weren't going to get comfortable against this team

SF - 👬 A "Gaggle" is a three man action out of a stagger. There's so many things you can do out of stagger screens to vary the action.

RIGHT HERE is a good look from Slappin' Glass


PF - 🏀 Next week I plan to release both the Auburn Flex and the Villanova Tempo Press (I think, in a two for one offer)... At a minimum, I'm using the Flex as BLOB every season

C - ⛹️ This is a good look at the back side exchange that makes morphing the 1-3-1 into man-to-man or 2-3 zone possible

It's one of the most unique zone slides in basketball. Learn the full system HERE

OFF THE BENCH

👬 Coach Tony Miller has been talking about a 2-1-2 Pressure Defense and I have to admit, I'm interested

🏀 The THREE THINGS my youth coaches must teach (it's probably not what you think)

🎥 What am I working on? Finishing two products for release - Villanova's 3/4 tempo press under Jay Wright and the Auburn Flex... I will also be continuing to update more existing products with additional features (these updates will come for free if you already purchased the product receiving the upgrade - I'm preparing a Circle Motion upgrade, then a Deny & Disrupt film element, then a Powerhouse Program Building update)

"I bought Powerhouse Program Building and then made my own version to present when I interviewed for a coaching job… the committee members remarked multiple times how it set me apart as a candidate.

The problem with the portfolio isn’t finding useful material, it’s deciding which great ideas I can implement right away

POWERHOUSE PROGRAM BUILDING TIP: To build a powerhouse, you're going to need some help... I would suggest looking at this list and evaluating your assistants so you and your program are getting the right support. And if you're an assistant coach, that you're giving the program what it needs:

If you're having trouble keeping track of the recent products I've released... frankly, so am I lol

After next week, I'm turning my focus to promoting the new products and updating existing products for the most part. Here's the rundown of the recent releases:

What’s up, internet basketball junkie? Sadly, the NBA season has come to an end. 48 hours of decompression before the NBA Draft!

I upgraded the "Deny and Disrupt Defense" package. It now includes a 1 hour and 6 minute film breakdown and raw clips of the defense to go along with a 55 page guide, all the drills, and an...
