System Basketball is for coaches to take a deeper dive into the different styles of play in the world of Basketball from the Youth level all the way up to the NBA. We host online clinics, do film breakdowns, and interview coaches on The Baskipedia Podcast.
Our goal is to help grow the game and knowledge of coaches across the world. If they can pick up one thing from each clinic, film breakdown, or interview from our podcasts, we feel we have done our job.
Always curious about this but How do the 2 guards at the top when first bring the ball up the court learn when to do things such as a quick drag screen or an under cut where the guards just switch or quick pass and and handoff between each other? I know it comes over time naturally with players IQ expanding but how does a coach incorporate that type of learning? Do you have one word ques you yell out that represent what you want them to do to get the play started?
@@jamesturner8779 I have terminology for actions yes. As far as drag screen typically if we don’t have an advance pass up the floor and the big is behind the ball we tell them to set a drag ball screen. Also if opposite slot guard is ahead of ball we have them cut through automatically.
This is misleading. In the 4-1 set, the 2 could be in the corner instead of the wing. Also, in read and react the cutter has the option to go set screens. Maybe you should actually learn read and react if you do a comparison using it.
General rule is when the ball doesn’t get picked up the corner stays when driver is driving to basket. They may need to slide up on a pickup if driver needs help. The opposite corner will lift when the player drives to hoop.
I think you can teach the kids about spacing, creating gaps, and the penetration rules yes. But I would do it more out of a 5 out alignment and add passing and cutting as well.
I was coached by Doc in High School 40+ years ago and he's just as enthusiastic - that combined with his experience and success over the many years makes it so much fun and emotional seeing this - God bless him.
I love the Grinnell System. I learned about it when JmxHighRoller published a video about Grinnell's December 8 game against Emmaus Bible College when they shot 111 three pointers and attempting ZERO (0) two baskets. Interesting I thought to myself and went on this rabbit hole about this system.
Great interview ! Starting the system this year with 8th graders. You could send me coaches number and I’ll text him and pick his brain. Thanks for doing this.
I started with the read and react, and now I run dribble drive Ddm makes more sense to me and appears to be easier for kids to grasp and easier for kids to remember actions within the office.
what seems confusing is the slot drive that is stopped at elbow (10 min mark). Earlier Marc showed that on middle drive the opposite slot would fill behind (or "the six" as Marc describes) and then float staying behind the driver. HOWEVER in this the near-side Corner is the fill from behind. In both cases they seem to start their fill behind before the drive is stopped so how do they know if it's going to be stopped at elbow and Corner fills behind instead of Opposite Slot.
The only time the corner would fill behind the drive is if the opposite slot cut to opposite corner and they should only be lifting and filling when ball travels below the free throw line into the drag and rack zone. Strong side corner doesn't lift only when ball is stopped near drop elbow area hope this clears it. The opposite slot would go behind the middle drive when they are getting near the free throw line.
Away from you lift as they pass the free throw line to attack basket If they are driving same side as you, hold in the corner if they are attacking the basket. If they pick it up at the free throw line same side you lift or cut backdoor based on defense.
