Another great video coach!! I know this may not be in your plans but it would be awesome to see you coaching in the NCAA or even the NBA one day. You seem to know exactly what's going on with the game and it would be extremely interesting to see what you would be able to do with such incredible talent.
Hi Coach Nick, I was recently playing in a pickup basketball game, but I was told that I have no idea where to go on the offense. So what is a player suppose to do in these kinda situation?
I'm a pickup basketball player, This is the question I used to ask myself when I was a beginner, I just run around the court until I'm open and ask for the basketball and shoot. When a lane is open and no defense is guarding you, just cut to the basket and I'm pretty sure, the basketball is gonna get passed to you for easy score. That's called "moving without the basketball". Coach nick talks about that all the time. Mostly pick up games is played man-to-ma and when your defender is guarding you well and cant get to open spot. Just set a screen for your teammates who has the basketball, that would get him open. You're helping your team win without scoring.
I swear basketball is the simplest game of all sports. It seems that things don't change much. You'd expect a play that John Wooden ran a long time ago wouldn't be effective now and the same for the pick and roll.
BBALLBREAKDOWN Hi Coach, I love your video very much! I think this year Heats would have a great chance to win the finals, because the Heats have the most numbers of commercial features and it is very important to NBA and its supporters.
I'm having success with the zipper cut in NBA 2k15 but that's just because it's pro level and there are those line, broken line, gray line thingies to guide me on what to do next. Without it I'd be lost. Basketball is a lot more complicated than I thought. Retarded conversations in First Take brought me to this very low level of basketball knowledge. LOL
Hey coach, great video, but I have to imagine the defensive player there and for a newbie like me it's kind of hard to see where they are gonna be or if they are getting screened.
Could you do one for not so common cuts?, Ive known these since I was a b-junior (14-15 year old)(outcluding the suffle cut which came later).Tho these were good for starters. =)
I love this type of videos. I learned so much. Hey coach could you make a video with hints what ball handler should do against every possible defensive action in pick n roll? I'm having troubles with that..
Great job coach nick. I've been watching since like 2010 back when my Lakers were in the finals with the Celtics. This is by far the best channel on youtube
I always wondered what UCLA cut Coach Nick talked about. But I have to watch the vid again for better understanding. I only started to recognize Horns during NBA games recently... I have a long way to go but these videos certainly make my NBA viewing more entertaining. Thank you.
As always, great video coach! Mind telling us what your favorite offenses are and do a breakdown of it? Say top 5? Or top 10? That'd be great in my opinion.
Coach Nick truly loves this game. He coaches, spends time watching basketball, and complies youtube videos in order to impart some of his wisdom in regards to the game. Thank you for all that you do. Huge fan. Now please send some of this info to Coach Kevin Mchale. - Sincerely Rockets fans
BBALLBREAKDOWN hey coach, I was just wondering if you had an email address? I have a few plays (as a player/coach) that I'd really appreciate you looking at involving some of these cuts and would love some feedback. I know that you're quite a busy man so completely understand if you don't have the time to
Awesome Video Coach Nick. Really glad i found your videos about 2 years ago. You really know basketball and i'd love to see you coach in the NCAA or NBA some day like others have said. All in all great video.
These videos are so awesome. I remember a while back you posted a video about the Spurs' Hammer play, and now every time they run it I recognize it immediately!
Thanks so much coach! I don't play enough with a set team so that cut where u walk to the left and explode to the right was helpful... more vids on cuts would be legit
Whenever I watch your videos, it helps me learn about something. I learn about what to do and not to do. It helps when you are trying to get better at basketball.
for shuffle,is there a must for the dribble pitch for some strong side overload before getting the ball to the wind for feeding? as i cannot see the attempt for the leborn clip.
I think it may just be because I'm slower in learning the processes of all these screens but maybe distinguishing the players from one team to the defenders with colored shirts helps viewers interpret the plays better.
coach nick do you think you can make some videos of breaking zone defenses? cause a lot of NBA plays are aim to break man on man d but not much for zone, hope you'll reply coach!! love your channel !!!
Hi I am saying to you that I truly appreciate your inside look videos! I just recently found your channel last week or so and I am happy that I did! I 1st started playing basketball at 13 and no one ever taught me the mental aspect of the game. I had to learn it myself. Now 28, I'm learning other aspects of the game. Your videos help me open my eyes to A LOT and they really are helping me out on the basketball court! Thank you very much! I love these videos! Keep doing what you do.
