What’s up internet basketball junkies?

Next week we’re releasing an Advanced Coaching Course and Coach Kramer's Rebuild 101

The Advanced Coaching Course is a structured deep-dive built from some of the most valuable coaching resources in the store and organized into one complete course for coaches who want to level up.

Coach Kramer's Rebuild 101 is a cohort-style experience designed for coaches taking over struggling programs or trying to reset the culture of a team that’s lost its way.

Many of the coaching resources that helped build the Advanced Coaching Course are currently available individually in the store. Once the course goes live next week, they will only be available individually on special occasions.

So if there’s one you’ve been meaning to grab, this week is the window. Here are some of the resources going into the advanced coaching course:

THE STARTING FIVE

🥇 Best of the Week Attacking Merrimack's 2-3 Zone is like assembling IKEA furniture without instructions... You think you know what you're doing. Then nothing fits. And you're forcing pieces.

Joey Gallo took the 2-3 zone and made it dangerous

PG - ✍️ Half the comments on my "Press Virginia" content is fans wanting their team to play this style and remembering how fun these teams were... You can learn to run this system here

SG - 📺 Coach Mike Neighbors made a post about isolating a single defender within a zone defense... the zone offense concept of "we choose who guards who" when you're in zone defense. I dropped a screenshot of this same concept from "The Encyclopedia of Zone Offense"

SF - 🐥 Going back to the Merrimack 2-3 Zone, Coach John Carrier and I compare and contrast some of the elements of Joey Gallo's zone with the infamous Syracuse zone from Jim Boeheim:

PF - 💭 I watched all of UConn getting popped by Marquette 😮... excited for the Big East Tournament. Kinda feels like both Hurley and Matt Painter are both setting us up for a massive March after we get down on UConn and Purdue respectively:

C - 📖 Coach Sokolovsky, who is my livestream guest tomorrow (tune in, 8pm), makes an interesting observation... Just like with staggers, the use of three player molecules are evolving rapidly with new angles and new cutting sequences:

Something I Found Interesting #250 (09.03.26)
Staggered screens are a very common 3-player off-ball interaction.
The split-game with two consecutive flares is a newer, highly effective option. With a shooter at the top, the spacing and gravity opens up a direct cut to the rim.

More on Coach Kramer’s Rebuild 101 — it's a cohort-style program built for coaches taking over programs that need a reset.

If you’ve inherited a struggling team, stepped into a tough situation, or simply want a clear roadmap for rebuilding culture and structure the right way, this program walks you through the process step-by-step so you’re not guessing your way through a rebuild.

Inside Rebuild 101 you’ll get a complete rebuilding guide, a workbook to apply the material directly to your own program, and live video calls with myself, Coach Kramer, and other coaches just like you.

You will be able to ask questions and get direct support as you implement the rebuild system.

Because it runs as a cohort, the first release will have limited spots available, and enrollment will close once those spots are filled.

Have a great week!
