He started his coaching career in 1997 at Victoria University, Canada. He then coached Nottingham Academy in Colo- rado, and the South Kent High School in Connecticut. Three of his former players are now in the NBA. He has been an instructor at many NIKE Camps and manager of the Nike Elite Youth Basketball. The TargeT The aim of the drill is to make 640 shots at game speed within a hour, making at least 65% of the shots taken. Progress is made when progress is recorded. Therefore, it is important to keep re- cords of shooting percentages and player improvement during a four-week period. This specific shooting practice should be run three times a week. You need: t Two balls. t A rebounder. t A passer.

Since 2005 he has been in charge of all Siena youth teams, and these teams have won five Italian titles in different age categories. Premise We created this play some years ago to give our top Siena youth teams an effec- tive style of play that would combine their athletic talents and their basketball skills. Our basic idea for the first age group, the Under 15, was to attack the defense one- on-one, either with a drive, a cut, or a pass, or, in a later phase, by utilizing screens. This same idea forms the basis for developing our passing game: we want to give to the players of the top youth level team, the Under 21, all the possible offensive solutions without run- ning a complicated offense, but still maintaining maximum individual autono- my for the players to “read-and-react” to the defender’s moves.
