Princeton Offense
Players are allowed to play freely within his structure
Need to have a philosophy/conviction that you believe in
Complicated or sophisticated? - It depends on how you look at it
The glass is always half-full with my guys
Hybrid between Beilein's 2 Guard Offense and Princeton Offense
Foundation
◦ Spacing
◦ Skill
◦ Intelligence
Make more free throws than the opponent attempts
Shoot a lot of layups and free throws in practice
Believe in dominant hand layups
Believe in dominant foot as hot foot, weak foot as pivot foot
At Duke practices, players talk more than coaches
Structure practices according to facilities and academic demands
Todd Lickliter - “Juniors and seniors cheat to win. Freshmen and sophomores cheat to get by.”
Doesn't tolerate poor communication.
◦ Any consequence is a short run
◦ Could be run 2 sidelines, only a 17 if he is really pissed
• Drills teach players how to play
◦ Not married to a system
◦ Allows players to play
◦ Prepares them to play against any kind of defense (denial, sag)
• Spends most of his practice time on offense
• McKillop on defense
◦ Protect the President
▪ Basket is the president
▪ Defenders are the Secret Service
▪ Ball is the bomb
▪ The lane is the White House
• Guarding ball screens
◦ Hard hedge
◦ Bump
◦ High hedge
• One More – most important drill that they do
◦ Helps eliminate turnovers
◦ Gets higher percentage shots because of better passes
