RACECAR: Seven Key Concepts That Every Good Point Guard Needs to Know by Dena Evans RACECAR: Seven Key Concepts that Every Good Point Guard Needs to Know by Dena Evans Dena Evans was a truly consummate point guard, who in terms of sheer physical stature, probably did more with less than any point guard that ever played the game. Only 5'4" tall, Dena became a star at the University of Virginia, where she led her teams to three NCAA Final Four appearances and a 118-17 record during her four-year career. As a senior at UVA, Dena was voted the Best Point Guard in the nation and received the Frances P. Naismith award as the country's top collegiate player under 5'7". In 2002, Dena was named to the Atlantic Coast Conference's 50th Anniversary All-Time Women's Basketball Team. Dena is the Owner and Chairman of Point Guard College (PGC) (www.pointguardcollege.com), a series of basketball camps that use classroom sessions, video analysis, and specially designed competitive drills and games to teach sound fundamentals, smart basketball, and a complete package of leadership skills. The following article is excerpted from one of Dena's talks at a PGC session in Halifax, Nova Scotia (Canada) in March 2004. We use a lot of acronyms at Point Guard College. This acronym—RACECAR—stands for seven critical concepts that every good point guard should understand. 1, 2) The "R" and the "A" in RACECAR go together. A good point guard will always Race the ball from Arc-to-arc. By 'arc to arc,' we mean between the three-point lines. A good point guard is always racing the ball up the court and trying to get inside the three-point line as quickly as possible. But "race" doesn't mean "rush." Instead, "racing" means bringing the ball up the court at a speed that makes the defense uncomfortable. You can race the ball up the court in two ways: (1) with a good, fast dribble, or (2) with a pass. But you shouldn't always walk the ball up the court. A good point guard will always race the ball up the court and take advantage of a disorganized defense. You should always put maximum pressure on the defense. 3) The "C" in RACECAR stands for Control — control of your emotions, control of your body, control of the basketball, control of the game. Control is the number one point guard commandment: There's nothing more important for a point guard than to be than under control. I was watching a high school game a few months ago, and there was a point guard that was playing really fast and taking a whole bunch of shots. He was actually making some of those shots, but he was also making bad decisions, passing while in the air and throwing the ball out- of-bounds. And the guy sitting next to me said, "Man! That point guard is keeping his team in the game!" And I didn't say anything out loud, but I was thinking, "Yeah, and he's keeping the other team in the game too." No coach wants a point guard who is keeping both teams in the game. When you have the ball in your hands, your coach should feel relaxed and calm and confident—not nervous and worried that you're going to take a bad shot or do something off- balance. You should start to be almost arrogant about your control; you should look for ways to race the ball up the court and still show off your control. And one great way to show off control is to use dynamic jump stops in the lane. Anytime you can race the ball from arc-to- arc, get inside the three-point line and then jump stop, you'll get a chance to make something good happen for your team. 4) The "E" in RACECAR means that you Eagerly Hunt the Paint. The word "hunt" means "to seek out," "to go after." A great point guard—Chris Paul, Steve Nash or Jason Kidd— will eagerly, constantly look for opportunities to hunt the paint. People always ask, "How does Steve Nash make those passes?" "How do Chris Paul and Jason Kidd get so many assists?" Well, watch them play. They're always eagerly trying to get into the paint. They know that's where they're most dangerous to the defense. But you've got to know what to do in the paint once you get there. Lots of players get into the paint and then HURRY. And there's nothing that will make you look more out of control than hurrying when you get in the paint. Instead of hurrying in the paint, you should stop and get FEROCIOUS. I like the word "ferocious" because it connotes, not just something physical, but also a mental attitude. When you get to the paint, you're going to get hit, you're going to get slapped, you're going to get bumped, you're going to get knocked around. So the first thing that you have to do is to stop with one of those dynamic jump stops and get ferocious. Then you want to assess the situation. Instead of hurrying, I want you to HUPPPPY—that's spelled with four P's. The first "P" in HUPPPPY stands for Powerful. You've got to get powerful, because you're going to get bumped, you're going to get knocked around. And, again, the best way to get powerful is with a dynamic jump stop, where you're tough, you're ferocious, you're on two feet, and no one can knock you off-balance. The next "P" stands for Purposeful. You must be decisive! You can't try simply just to avoid mistakes. Dwayne Wade led the NBA in scoring this year, and Chris Paul led the league in assists. But both Dwayne Wade and Chris Paul were also in the top ten in the NBA in turnovers committed. This doesn't mean that you should be sloppy or careless with the basketball; but you can't be tentative. You must be purposeful and decisive when you're in the paint. And then, when you get into the lane, you want to Peek. That's the fourth "P" in HUPPPPY: Get into the habit of peeking at the rim. A lot of point guards get into the lane and only look to pass. Instead, when you get into the lane, take your eyes up to the rim, and all of a sudden, everything will change: Defenders will start running at you; you'll see all four of your teammates; passing angles will open up. So get in the habit of peeking at the rim. The fourth "P" stands for fake—which we spell PHAKE at Point Guard College. A good fake in the lane takes only one-eighth of a second; but that one-eighth of a second will buy you the time to do something special for your team. 6) The next "C" in RACECAR stands for CLEVERNESS. Good point guards are very clever. They use a lot of fakes; they're tricky and deceptive. The number one rule for fakes is to use more of them. I'm talking about pass fakes, ball fakes, foot fakes, shot fakes. Use fakes, fakes, and more fakes. Fakes don't require any special athletic ability. You just have to remember to use them. Good point guards—players like Sue Bird, Tony Parker and Diana Taurasi—are always toying with the defense. These players can make their opponents look foolish, not with their athletic ability, but because of their cleverness. 7) The next "A" in RACECAR is also related with faking. This "A" stands for ARRUM—or 'air 'em'. Anytime you get into the lane and you have doubts about your ability to get your shot off, add an ARRUM and get a defender to leave his feet. If you stay low and on-balance, peek at the rim, and give one good pump fake, defenders will leave their feet again and again. That's because most fans love shot blockers who can slap a shot into the ninth row. And because most players love to please fans, from now until the end of time, you will play against players that love to leave their feet on defense. You should be on a mission to make these big, athletic players look foolish. Add an ARRUM and get them to leave their feet. If you can get a defender up in the air, it's easy to create all kinds of passing angles, draw a foul, or even get an 'and-one.' 7) The last "R" in RACECAR stands for REMINDERS. If the only way you lead is to lead by example, then you are a very poor leader. At any given point in a game, there are at least thirty reminders you could give that will help your teammates play better: "He's a shooter. Get your hand up!" "Watch the screen! Get over the top!" "She's left-handed! Bring her my way!" But reminders are only useful if you give them before they are needed. Let's say that Benny and I are teammates, and that it's an important possession at the end of the game; maybe the score is tied and we need a stop. And let's say that Benny is guarding the other team's best three-point shooter, and that his man comes off a screen and hits a three-point shot. And I glare at Benny and say, "C'mon Benny! He's their best shooter! Get your hand up!" Does that have any impact at all on the play that just happened? No! I'm not really reminding Benny; I'm criticizing Benny for not doing his job.

  • A Game Theoretic Approach to Modelling Basketball
    A Game Theoretic Approach to Modelling Basketball Darshan Chakrabarti and Rishav Dutta (darshanc and rishavd) 1 Overview Each of the 30 teams in the NBA play 82 games a season (and then top teams participate in the playoffs which progress towards the championship). Typically, coaches and other team personnel analyze tapes of past games and statistics to try to understand deficiencies that a team has and understand vunerable points of the other team. We want to make suggestions for strategies for teams to adopt that can be backed quantitatively, so that teams can try to achieve the optimal outcome. 2 Problem Statement Given the current game state, what is the optimal strategy for the offensive team and the defensive team to adopt. For example, consider a matchup between the Houston Rockets and the Golden State Warriors with their starting line-ups on the court: James Harden, Chris Paul, Nene, P.J. Tucker, Clint Capela for the Rockets and Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Kevin Durant, Draymond Green, and DeMarcus Cousins for the Warriors, and James Harden has the ball. What is the optimal strategy for the Rockets? Potential options could be to pass to Chris Paul for a three pointer or Harden could just shoot himself. In order to minimize the potential outcome, the Warriors may choose to assign their best defender to the player most likely to shoot from the Rockets (Klay Thompson on Chris Paul) or they could play aggressive defense on James Harden to prevent him from passing or shooting. Finding the optimal strategy may allow teams to perform better during games.

  • New Coach + Quick Learners = Fast Start First-Year Coach Luke Flockerzi Introduces a New Offensive System As Men’S Basketball Gets Off to a Quick Start
    sPoRts mEn’s BaskEtBall New Coach + Quick Learners = Fast Start First-year coach luke Flockerzi introduces a new offensive system as men’s basketball gets off to a quick start. By Dennis O'Donnell Where’s the center? And the power forwards, for that matter? As the Roches- ter men’s basketball team takes to the court this winter, Yellowjacket fans used to see- ing players in traditional positions will need to acquaint themselves with a new way of thinking about how to organize five athletes and a basketball. Gone is the standard system geared to- ward a point guard, off guard, small for- ward, power forward, and center. Instead, the Yellowjackets feature four perimeter positions and a low-post threat, known as the “hub.” Let first-year coach Luke Flockerzi draw it up: Most times on offense, Rochester will set four players high on the perimeter and one—the hub—low, closer to the basket. The players will analyze what the defense shows, then run the best offense to counter- act it. It’s not one-on-one basketball. It’s a mixture of seeing, thinking, and reacting— an approach that Flockerzi believes gives his players the freedom to make decisions and play basketball. “Anyone can bring the ball up the court,” Flockerzi says. “The point guard doesn’t have to initiate the offense because posi- tions are interchangeable.” Flockerzi debuted the system this win- ter as he took over the head coaching du- ties for the Yellowjackets. The former head coach at Skidmore College, Flockerzi suc- ceeds Mike Neer '88W (MS), who stepped down last spring after leading the Yellow- jackets for 34 seasons and establishing the program as one of the winningest in NCAA Division III.

  • How to Play Basketball Offense - Description of Team Positions
    How to Play Basketball Offense - Description of Team Positions Over the years, as shooting, passing, and dribbling have become more sophisticated, offensive alignments have changed. They probably will continue changing in the future. Rule changes often dictate this. For example, take the three-point shot. This is changing the philosophy of a lot of coaches. Previous to the three-point shot, big men were dominating the game. Teams constantly looked for ONLY a close-in shot. As a result, most defenses packed back in tight. The three-point shot is changing all this. This new rule has opened up the game. Defenses must come out. It is quite common to see coaches using 3 and 4 guard offenses. Some of them even have their offensive teams and defensive teams, substituting freely to suit the particular need. Fundamentals, however, remain much as they were 40 years ago. Things that worked then, still work today. The terminology used to describe offensive alignments are different than they were 40 years ago. Some team offenses have evolved so that every player must be able to play at any and all positions. The flex offense is an example. Yet, this type offense is over 30 years old. Us old timers called it "the shuffle." In either offense, the center often finds himself out at a guard position. This type offense is well suited for today's rules; however, adjustments are made to fit the abilities of available players. High school coaches always have to adapt. College coaches simply recruit the players to fill a void.

  • By Tom Nugent Raised by a Single Mom in Small- Town Missouri, He Landed on the Campus of UNL in the Fall of 1995
    Living the Dream Tyronn Jamar Lue struggled early. By Tom Nugent Raised by a single mom in small- town Missouri, he landed on the campus of UNL in the fall of 1995. He was barely 18, and he was totally uncertain about his future. But he also had a huge asset going for him. He’d already taught himself (with the help of a few outstanding coaches) how to shoot a basketball with unerring accuracy. After settling into his dorm room on the UNL campus, the wide-eyed youth from Mexico, Missouri, unpacked his bags and headed for the gym. What followed during the next 20 years was a classic American success story ... the story of an intensely single-minded young man who took advantage of a university scholarship and eventually became one of this country’s most accomplished professional athletes. 32 WINTER 2016 Living the Dream Lue with Cleveland Cavaliers head coach Dave Blatt, during last year’s championship series.
