⛹🏽TSF 84: just like that... the NBA season is over


What’s up, internet basketball junkie?

Sadly, the NBA season has come to an end.

48 hours of decompression before the NBA Draft!

I remember as a kid, following the draft and handwriting the results as they came in off the TV.

I probably did that for 10 years as a kid - good memories.

Anywho...

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 implementation plan.

If you're looking to turn up the heat next season, these are principles worth exploring.

I will raise the price of the product on Thursday to reflect the additional features.

THE STARTING FIVE

🥇 Best of the Week Most teams use the Flex Offense (like Auburn) in some shape or capacity... it doesn't have to be your whole offensive philosophy, but implementing as a BLOB is a great place to start

PG - ✍️ I played college basketball and was a point guard... I remember my college coach telling me to dribble to the baseline and jump out of bounds to throw a cross court drift pass. It was "Hammer" action, although I didn't know it at the time.

I thought he was crazy back then... But then is worked... again, and again

*Powerhouse Program Building booster club/school funding request letter: Powerhouse Template.pdf

“I am presently a collegiate coach with over 25+ years of experience at the NCAA DI and DIII levels.

I found the content in Coach Hack’s Powerhouse Program Building to be thorough and complete in giving a blue-print of the organization that it takes to build a winning program at any level.

This is the product that I wished I either had 30+ years ago as a high school coach or that I had produced myself!”
