⛹🏽TSF 109: The night Wemby ghosted me
|
What’s up, internet basketball junkie? I have good news and bad news. 🔸 15 Strategies to Defend a Star Player 🔸 Beat the Scout with Set Play Families 🔸 High Stakes Championship Culture If you already own any of these, the updates are live in your library now. If you don’t, now’s the time… All three prices are going up on Thursday, and I want to give my newsletter crew first notice before the bump hits. The bad news… We went to the Cavs–Spurs game for my birthday because I needed to see Wemby in person - true bucket list stuff. Floor seats. I had visions of Wemby blocking my view just by sitting down. But nope. Wemby didn’t play 😥 The Cavs actually won (which… hasn’t exactly been the trend lately). So yes - I paid premium money to check absolutely nothing off the bucket list. And the best part? If we had flown to Vegas to see Wemby vs the Thunder, we could’ve knocked two bucket list items off in one trip.

PG - 🏀 There's so many benefits to 3/4 court pressure... that's probably why Jay Wright used the 1-2-2 Press so much at Villanova
SG - 🦉 Piggybacking off the press defense, Coach Battenberg shows how he would counter this kind of tempo pressure:
SF - 🏀 And piggybacking of Coach Battenberg's post, here's 2-1-2 applied to the half court I've always loved the 2-1-2 for it's versatility - I call it "Corners."

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. Long hair that peaked in college and has been in the transfer portal ever since. But the best part wasn’t...
