⛹🏽TSF 105: Talking Program Management


What’s up, internet basketball junkie?

Coach Clay Kallam and I recorded a conversation on "Program Management."

I released it in my Powerhouse Program Building Skool Community but wanted to share to my email list as a bonus.

It's a 72 minute conversation on offseason planning, scheduling, recruiting, conditioning, roster construction, and much more.

Coach Kallam started his coaching career in 1970s.

I'm no mathematician but I'm impressed by a coaching career spanning 50 YEARS!

PG - 🏀 All coaching staffs are different, but setting simple expectations up front is essential:

SG - 🔀 CLICK HERE for a playlist of my favorite drills to teach fundamentals:

SF - 🏀 Flat Stagger Rip

This is a unique BLOB that I think has some promise. It has a sneaky scoring option and a clear safety valve.

PF - 📋 My preferred daily practice plan template:

C - ⭕ 3,672 coaches have purchased my guide to the Circle Motion Offense... You've probably come across a coach or two running it.

What’s up, internet basketball junkie? Before we talk about the BLOB of the year, let's talk about how to embarrass a 2-3 zone... It was against Jackson State... The zone didn't rotate right...

What’s up, internet basketball junkie? I’m 18+ hours into live streaming. Right now, I'm going live to X, YouTube, LinkedIn, and Facebook. Click on any of the platforms and turn on notifications to get updates for the streams (please) 😊 I’m experimenting, testing formats, and figuring out what hits best - but one thing is locked in: I’m going to keep cranking out long form basketball content for coaches. Multiple times per week. Consistent. Informative. Entertaining. At the moment, the show...

What’s up, internet basketball junkie? For Christmas, my significant other did something wildly thoughtful (and slightly dangerous): she had all of my college game film transferred from dusty old VHS tapes into digital format. Which means you are now officially on notice - you will be forced to watch grainy clips of me “getting buckets” in baggy shorts with long hair from 20 years ago.
