Coaching U Orlando 2016 Notes Coaching U Notes from Ben Witherspoon, www.PUSHBasketball.com Updated Jul 6, 2016 Stan Van Gundy, Head Coach of the Detroit Pistons Response to what their core values are: Create culture by getting the right kind of players. Get guys who love the game. Ask pre-draft rookies “How will you know when you’ve made it?” to gauge their love for the game “I want people who care about their teammates and celebrate their teammates success." We want to play hard, smart, and together. They script the first 6-8 plays to get multiple players involved early and to find out how the other team is guarding certain actions. In regards to assistant coaches: Head coach has to be clear in defining their roles. They outline each coaches responsibility in every practice plan. They have certain guys that only do player development. Head coaches need to be clear about what they want from their assistant coaches and communicate it to them. Udonis Haslem was his favorite player in Miami because the only thing he cared about was winning the game. JJ Reddick is the most focused player he’s ever been around. He loved Rashard Lewis because of what kind of teammate he was. He remembers Rashard calling him screaming when he found out his teammate Jameer Nelson made the All-Star team. To help defensive awareness: Drill it over and over, the more they see it, the easier they recognize it. And then study lots of film. Books that he recommends: Peak by Anders Erickson Mindset by Carol Dweck The Smart Take from the Strong by Pete Carrill Offensive points of emphasis: Take care of the ball, push the ball, screen, be unselfish, and take good shots. Don’t pass up good, open shots because of the shot clock. “I’ve never seen a good, dumb player in our league." “If you’re a good player, you know when to dribble, when to pass, and when to shoot.” - Hubie Brown Stan Van Gundy's 6 Defensive Musts: 1. Get back. 2. Protect the paint. 3. Close & contest. 4. Pressure the ball. 5. Defend w/out fouling. 6. Block out & rebound. Offensive rebounding: If 3 is below FT line, he crashes boards. If 4 is top of key, he gets back. They want to stop layups, free throws, and 3’s. Joe Abunassar, NBA player development coach, @ImpactBBall 5 Parts of Player Development 1. Skill work 2. Performance - speed, agility, etc. 3. Nutrition 4. Physical therapy - take care of your body, recovery, stretching 5. Mental - love the grind, compete Put number of makes goals on your drills in practice. Eating properly 90 minutes after the game reduces recovery time from 72 to 24 hours. Adjust shooting mechanics when the release/backspin are "funky." Your power comes from your glutes. Drive off back foot when coming off screens. Kevin Eastman, Former Assistant & VP of Player Personnel to Doc Rivers, @KevinEastman “Keep the main thing the main thing." 4 Keywords to being a Winner -Every - Everyone has to bring it, every second of every day. -Next - Next play mentality. Learn from the past, produce in the present, prepare for the future. -Serious - Teams that win are more serious more of the time. -Willing - Have to be willing to sacrifice whatever it takes to win, pass, play defense, set screens. Relationship formula: 1 year before I ask for anything from someone. The loudest voices and most talk has to happen on the weak side of the floor. 2 Types of Mistakes: Honest - You don’t know better Ignorant - You do know better “Mistakes are ok but they have to be new ones." 5 Successful Coaching Points: 1. Learning 2. Focus 3. Enthusiasm 4. Effort 5. Energy “The best are the best for a reason." Most important things that affect your future: character, personal growth, true relationships. He reads 2 hours every day. 4 team factors: Your system, culture, control players on your team, preparation. 3 Musts of Coaching: Put out fires, gas in your tank (start your year with inspiration), refocus their lens (skill set, mindset, reset). Truth is the most powerful word in an organization. “We will not win the way you want to win, if you don’t drop your guard and let me in.” - Doc Rivers Confront any breach in culture immediately. “Why are you more mad about missing a shot than that guy scoring on you?" On playing out the game plan: Don’t fail the plan, let the plan fail us. When evaluating players, they look at: Does he love the game? His drive What kind of teammate is he? Is he coachable? Can he handle hard truths? Set mini goals for your players by quarter. DeAndre Jordan had pass ahead and offensive rebound scores goals. "My separation is in my preparation.” -Russell Wilson Bill Russell told Kevin Garnett there are 3 types of leaders: Leaders that get behind guys and push them forward, guys that go out in front and bring them in, and guys that are side by side with them to guide them. Their bottom of the bench guys help create and solidify their culture. If they do not, they won’t be on the team. “Find a way to get on the floor and stay on the floor.” - Kevin Eastman’s advice for his son Ubuntu is what Doc Rivers has used to teach selflessness. “You don’t have to be right, but we have to get it right." “You play for a teammate, not with a teammate." Brendan Suhr, Assistant Coach at LSU, @BrendanSuhr Questions to ask yourself as a coach: 1. What is your definition of the role of a coach? What does it mean to you? 2. Why do I coach the way I coach? 3. Would I want to be coached by myself? “The notoriety of a coach comes from the execution of his players under pressure.” - Hubie Brown What great coaches do: 1. Connect to players and use a relationship based coaching approach 2. Love, serve, care 3. Coach every player differently 4. Develop trust - Trust is the ultimate human currency 5. Create a positive environment Defense: -3/4 court presses are great for making teams use clock and not let them push the ball up the floor -Do what you can to stop their best player and get the ball out of his hands - 1-2-2 trap him on wing and in corner. Other 3 guys are in a triangle. Lennie Acuff, Head Coach at U. of Alabama Huntsville, @CoachAcuff Program core values: Selfless, thankful, humble, driven, committed, responsible There are 2 types of coaches: Those that are humble and those that are about to be. “Stress is being unprepared for something you care deeply about.” -Rick Carlisle Confidence is contagious, so is a lack of confidence. 3 Keys to Turning a Program Around: 1. Make the program important - At the school, in the community 2. Positive environment 3. Vehicle for improvement “It’s hard to coach kids you don’t want to be around." On building your system: Don’t try to do too much, too soon. They recruit guys that fit their program. They believe in recruiting offense and then they teach them defense. On the night of the game, get more good shots than your opponent. They change defenses a lot, almost after every timeout. They run on everything: makes and misses. CoachDougNovak.com has good resources. “Happiness begins when selfishness ends." A good rule is to give guys one second to shoot it, pass it, or drive it. For their end of season meeting, they ask guys to send an email answering these questions: 1. What did you like? 2. What did you learn? 3. What’s next for you and for us? Mike Procopio, Player Development Coach for the Dallas Mavericks, @HoopConsultants Player development is not about having a bunch of drills. It’s about communicating problems, finding solutions, and then repetition. The Mavs players have to be 30 minutes early for a workout or they get fined. And 15 minutes early for any meeting. Key skills by position: Point guard - Changing speeds, being able to live in the paint with the ball, make midrange shots, pick & roll reads, finish with either hand off both feet, defend your position. Wing - Off ball screen reads, make midrange shots, pick & roll reads, finish with either hand off both feet, defend your position. Bigs - Run the floor, set great screens, 1 or 2 moves with a counter, pass out of the post (cutters, kick out, high-low) Shooters need comfort and confidence Go straight up on floaters, ball trajectory should be up in the air, not a line drive .

  • Sixers Superfan Tom Kline
    10/21/2020 undefined Doc’s coaching record of 943 wins and 681 losses includes 176 more wins than the Sixers had during the same period. Doc spent nine years in Boston, so he knows how to coach in our kind of town with passionate fans and a demanding media. And he’s done the same on the national stage. In short, Doc is a proven winner. There will be no on the job training. That counts for a lot. Doc also knows how to coach superstars. In Boston, he coached the Big Three of Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen, and Paul Pierce — all first round, top 10 draft picks — taking them to two NBA Finals and where effort, defense, and making big shots in the clutch were hallmarks. Doc led the Big Three to an NBA title over a team led by an all-time great known by one name, Kobe. For the Sixers to achieve their goal of winning an NBA title, Doc will need to lead them past teams led by greats like LeBron James and Giannis Antetokounmpo. This year with Kawhi Leonard and Paul George playing together for the first time, Doc led the Clippers to within one win of the Western Conference finals. Granted, the team had higher expectations and blew a 3-1 lead, but, hey, they are the Clippers. More important, Doc had the fifth-best regular season coaching record in the NBA since taking over the Clippers in 2013. Like the Clippers, the Sixers have two superstars in Embiid and Simmons. The key will be getting both of them to achieve their full potential, while surrounding them with a strong supporting cast and especially a shooting guard.

However, few could have imagined that the Boston Celtics would 5 compile the best record in the NBA in the 2007-2008 season, 66-16, and add to their glorious 6 tradition by defeating hated arch-rival the Los Angeles Lakers and MVP Kobe Bryant to win their 7 league leading seventeenth NBA Championship; and 8 WHEREAS, Kevin Garnett, a superstar playing in relative anonymity for most of his 9 career in Minnesota, was a joy and revelation to observe as he led the Celtics back to glory. We 10 all knew about his intimidating shot-blocking ability, his fierce rebounding skills, his ability to 11 run the court and score quick baskets, his defensive prowess and his superb low post game and 12 sweet outside shot, but his off-court demeanor was even more impressive. Garnett is a caring, 13 kind and compassionate man always available to serve the community and charitable 14 organizations in the region.

Jason Kidd's path from future Hall of Fame point guard to unproven coach of the Brooklyn Nets didn't begin with his 10 All-Star appearances or his 2011 title with the Mavericks. It started with a notebook. "It was something I started during my second time in Dallas," said Kidd, who played for the Mavericks from 1994-96 and 2008-12. "After a game, I would write about different situations and how different coaches handled things. Our coach at the time was Rick Carlisle, and the notebook [which later morphed into a smart phone] was about what kinds of things he did that I agreed with, disagreed with, and what worked for him and what didn't. It also detailed what our opponent's coach might be doing. So I took notes with the idea of, If I was ever in that situation how would I handle it? What would I do? "There was one game at Golden State where we were on a 20-0 run and they took a timeout. They come out and go on a 4-0 run, and our coach calls a timeout. You could feel the air come out of us; you could feel the momentum swinging toward them because of the timeout.

  • Brendan Malone, Faculty & Coach
    HALL OF FAME INDUCTEE Brendan Malone Faculty/Coach Coach Brendan Malone grew up in Astoria, Long Island and was a parishioner at St. Joseph’s Church. He attended Rice High School in Manhattan and is a 1952 graduate. He then attended Iona College. Coach Malone served in the US Army after which he attended NYU and received a Master’s degree in Physical Education. He then started teaching physical education and coaching the basketball and baseball teams at Power. Coach Malone is married to his wife Maureen for 55 plus years. They live in Armonk, NY. The Malone’s have 6 children and 13 grandchildren. Brendan Malone won multiple CHSAA City Championships while coaching the Power Varsity Basketball team in the 1970s. But what people don’t know is that he was also a successful baseball coach. Coach Malone won multiple Bronx-Manhattan Baseball Championships while he was coaching the varsity team in the 1970s. Once in the NBA, after a number of college coaching positions (at Fordham, Yale, Syracuse and as head coach at Rhode Island), Coach Malone was an assistant to Chuck Daly when the Detroit Pistons won back-to-back NBA Championships in 1989 and 1990. Indeed, Coach Malone is credited with being the major architect in devising a defense to stop Michael Jordan, which was a key to the Pistons winning back-to-back NBA titles. During his 30-year NBA coaching career, Coach Malone was also the first head coach of the then-expansion Toronto Raptors. During that first season (1995-96), he orchestrated a regular season defeat of the Jordan-led Chicago Bulls, one of the greatest regular season upsets in NBA history, as that Bulls team would finish the year at 72-10 (at the time, the all-time wins record for a team in the regular season).

Prof. Dr. Owen Miller August 2020 Professional basketball players in the National Basketball Association (NBA) founded the National Basketball Players Association (NBPA) in 1954. The first collective act of professional basketball players under the NBPA was a threat to strike just before the 1964 NBA All-Star Game. Eventually, they had achieved to get the pension plan that they hoped for many years. Larry Fleisher, the general counsel of the NBPA, and Oscar Robertson, the president of the NBPA, were determined to abolish the reserve clause in basketball. The reserve clause restrained the free movement of professional athletes for many years, and NBA players were the ones who established staunch struggle against it, in various ways, including litigation. The NBPA filed a class-action lawsuit, also known as the Oscar Robertson lawsuit, against the merger between two basketball leagues, the NBA, and the ABA (American Basketball Association) in April 1970.
