He coached the Yugoslavian senior and youth women’s teams of the Red Star Belgrade, Kovin and Buducnost, winning a total of five senior titles, six Yugoslavian Cups, eleven Under 18, and seven Under 16 Yugoslavian titles. With the former Yugoslavia and then Serbia and Montenegro Women’s National teams, he won one sil- ver medal at the FIBA European Championship with the senior team, and two silver and one bronze medal with the Under 18 teams at the FIBA World Championships, one gold medal and one bronze medals at the European Championships. He also won two bronze medals with the Under 16 team at the FIBA European Championships. The breakup of former Yugoslavian Republics caused a number of new independent states to appear in the Balkans. All former Federal Republics had by now established their own autonomous state, barring Serbia and Montenegro, which stayed together. The very succes- sful method of work we used until then in the basketball area has changed. Now, we have a much smaller base of players to choose from, and the requirements of com- peting on the highest level are increasing. When I became a coach of youth teams, I decided to use the same training approach for all the different age national teams.

  • Man to Man Motion Offense Summary This Play Is Great to Use for Youth Coaches, Because It Is Very Simple to Teach, Yet Effective
    Simple Baskeball Offenses Man to Man Motion Offense Summary This play is great to use for youth coaches, because it is very simple to teach, yet effective. You can also use this as a simple, continuity offense that you will run over and over. The offense starts in a basic 1-3-1 set. It will provide dribble-drive opportunities. Personnel You want Players 4 & 5 to be your post players. You want players 1, 2, & 3 to have good ball handling skills. Instructions 1. Player 1 can pass to either wing, Player 2 or 3. If the player is on the block on the ball side, he will cut to the opposite block to clear out the ball side. In this case, Player 4 goes to the opposite block for Player 1 to make a basket cut. It will also create an opportunity for Player 2 to dribble drive, if he/she sees an advantage. (Figure 1) 2. Player 1 fakes towards the opposite wing, then brushes his man off Player 5 as he cuts to the basket. (Figure 2) 3. When Player 1 reaches the block area, Player 5 flashes to the high post. Player 2 can pass to either Player 1 or Player 5. If Player 5 gets the ball in the high post, he can also dump the ball down to Player 1. If Player 1 can get the defensive player on his outside hip, he can get an easy score. (Figure 3) 4. If player 1 is not open, he/she cuts to the opposite wing, and Player 5 replaces him on the low block.

In 1985, he became head coach of the Melbourne Tigers, where he stayed until 2005, winning two Australian title and three titles of "Coach of the Year". I had the chance to meet outstanding coaches, who have influenced my philoso- phy of the game and coaching methods. One of the most significant pieces of ad- vice was to select a style of play, learn from others, who have similar points of view and stick with it. When I took over coaching the Mel- bourne Tigers I adopted similar methods, although many refinements have been made as the skills and athleticism of play- ers have developed incredibly since then. The national teams I coached used the same methods as my club teams, but in each case the points of emphasis would vary depending on the talent available. The Melbourne Tigers shuffle offense re- quires every player to be capable of play- ing every position and it is not unusual for the power forwards and centers to be playing the same roles usually reserved for guards. It has been argued that moving the big players away from the basket re- duces their rebounding potential and high percentage scoring opportunities, but equally it can create problems for oppo- nents, who, in many cases, is unfamiliar with defending on the perimeter.
