Basketball in the Bluegrass - Best in the World

Coaches from all over the world want to live and work in a place that loves the sport of basketball. Along with that passion for the game comes high expectations and pressure that drive some coaches out of the sport. Others that have been able to maintain the course over the years have proven to be some of the most successful basketball coaches in the country. In Kentucky, basketball is not just a sport, it is more of a religion and the holy grail is playing in the state tournament at Rupp Arena. Kentucky is the last great basketball state that still competes without a class system. In almost every state, at the end of the basketball season, there are multiple state champions in basketball to be crowned. Kentucky is special because it is a winner take all event where schools like Elliot County - enrollment 167 can compete with the bigger enrollment schools for a chance at the trophy. Kentucky high school basketball is the best. While the talent pool might not be as good as many other states, the following, the tradition, the expectations, and the fan support make it a much better state to coach basketball than say Florida which has some of the most talented athletes to ever play - see Vince Carter or Amare Stoudamire - there are only about 3000 fans at the state championship. That is a generous number.

These are some pictures from the most recent state tournament in Kentucky where we had over 22,000 fans for a FIRST round game. If you have the opportunity to come to see the "Greatest Show in Hoops," it is well worth your time.

Lessons from Pat Riley

At 37 years old, Erik Spoelstra is living a dream and coaching one the NBA's MVP candidates in Dwyane Wade. His path has been one of the most original stories of any coach in the NBA. He was not a former NBA player instead beginning his professional career as the video coordinator with Pat Riley. As a young assistant he was often seen taking notes on plays, poetry, motivational talks, or anything else he could learn from hall of famer Pat Riley. Read more on this quote from Orlando newspaper. When Riley stepped down as the Heat coach, he turned the reins over to the young assistant who had worked his way up from the bottom: Erik Spoelstra. One thing he learned from the Showtime coach is, "I loved hearing [Riley's] motivational talks," Spoelstra says. "I'd get fired up hearing them. But there's only one person who can talk like that. If I tried, it would sound false, so I don't." His talks? Full of preparation and passion. "You can motivate in different ways," he says. For coaches of all levels, we must learn to ADAPT and not ADOPT the philosophies of our mentors.

Muggsy Bogues Stands Tall Among His Peers

Tyrone "Muggsy" Bogues is the shortest player ever to play in the NBA at 5'3" and there was a reason he was able to transcend the usual height requirements for professional players. He had 3 attributes that made him successful despite his size:

1. He had unreal heart and mental toughness. Need an example? Take a look at this picture. He was one of the few NBA players not to back down to the toughest player ever to play - Michael Jordan. There are many stories of players wilting under the pressure that Jordan would put on them during the game as he scored on them at will. Bogues was tough enough to realize that he might not be able to stop MJ, but he was going to make it as tough as possible on him.


2. Competitive Spirit - Bogues was competitive enough that his friends said that if you challenged him in a race on the street, he would challenge you back to just say 'go'. This is something that most professional athletes are born with and Bogues would not let his size diminish his spirit.

He was an unbelieveable athlete. Despite being mentally tough and competitive, Bogues was obviously a tremendous talent at 5'3" and one of the best athletes to ever play in the NBA. At that size, he had to generate enormous power and speed to compete on the court with players that were much taller and stronger. He was able to do that with his God given talent and even though size was not one of them, he proved that size is not everything and you can compete with the best athletes in the world if you have the heart of a champion.

You must play with effort to play in the NBA

According to Kenny Natt, head coach of the Sacramento Kings, the guys that will play over the next 20 games are going to be the effort guys. "What I need to do is pull guys out of the game that don't want to play. Guys who don't play with effort, that's who I'll start pulling out of the game. I've made it very clear to them that that's where we're going from now on. You can't stay in a basketball game if (they're) not going to play. If you think that you're going to stay in the game (without playing hard), you're going to be sitting over there with me." The NBA has trouble with young players in the league that sometimes act like they are too good to work hard while NBA vets understand the value of hard work. They know it is the perserverance and work that will keep them employed in the league.

Defense is about Desire and Focus on Fundamentals

NBA head coach of the New Orleans Hornets Byron Scott reminded his team recently about the basics of defense and the importance of focusing on defensive fundamentals. "Defense is all about desire and wanting to do it. It has nothing to do with skill. So we've just got to get back to our defensive principles and understanding what we need to do on every play. We were trying to rely too much on our offense, trying to outscore people. There's going to be nights when we're not going to be able to make shots or throw it in the ocean. We've got to be able to rely on our defense a lot more.Right now, we're having a lot of trouble on the defensive end. Specifically, guarding guys off the dribble, number one, and protecting that paint, number two. The third thing is when we're getting beat, we're fouling too much. We've got to do a better job, maybe go back to the drawing board, think about some of the things on our defensive concepts that we talked about and get better at it.The focus on that end has to be better. As far as us understanding what our principles are, I think we understand them. We've just got to get back to doing them on a day-to-day basis. This is not the time to lose desire to play defense; this is the times we've got to pick it back up." Perhaps no one on this team understands the importance of this focus like Scott who played on NBA championship teams during his tenure on the LA Lakers.

New Princeton DVD

Coaches, we have a new Princeton Offense DVD available from Championship Productions. Winning with the Princeton Offense is a DVD our team put together with the help of Championship Productions that outlines the 6 interchangeable sets that comprise the Princeton Offense. We felt it was important to put this DVD out since NONE of the current DVDs available show a coach how to run the offense. Most of them show you parts of it like the CHIN set and act like the rest of the offense is a pure motion based offense. Nothing could be further from the truth and they are all sets based on the pass/dribble/cut that the player with the ball makes. We show all the sets and more importantly how the sets progress from one to another. We also include the teaching progression because while the sets are important to learn, knowing how to put the offense in with your team in invaluable. We will show you all the sets and diagram the offense here in this Princeton Offense eBook. Let me know if you have questions on the DVD and continue to ask me for requests.

Top 5 NBA Guards & Individual Development DVD

As the seasons begin to change amidst unprecedented political debate while entering a new era of financial irresponsibility, I for one am ready for some hoops. There is nothing better than watching this game on a cold December weekend protected by the warmth of the gym lights, awakened by the sound of that bouncing ball...In honor & anticipation of the upcoming season, I have chosen my Top 5 NBA Guards and included information on how to purchase a DVD compilation of over 300 MB on individual workouts & drills including breakdowns of the Memphis Dribble Drive and Herb Welling's Dribble Motion. Go here to purchase: http://store.payloadz.com/go?id=178241

5. Deron Williams - I know this guy might not be on everyone's list with guys like Billups, Davis, Iverson, and McGrady left out, but I can't help it. I love his game. He is a smooth player with a remarkable court savvy and sense of how to play. On top of that he is a big, physical guard that can dominate a game with his outside touch or ability to create offense for his teammates. His leadership will determine if the Jazz are able to make another run to the Western Conference Finals (2007).

4. Steve Nash - What more can I say about the toughest guard in the league? He is the grittiest competitor since Michael Jordan in my opinion as evidenced by the way he handled the Spurs/Suns debacle two years ago in the playoffs. I don't want to reopen any wounds here, but most men would have lost their temper after any one of the cheap shots unhinged by the Spurs. Despite the trades and chemistry problems, Nash continues to lead one of the fastest scoring attacks in the league. Go here to learn about the Suns vaunted fast break attack: http://store.payloadz.com/go?id=175057


3. Dwayne Wade - Despite injuries holding him back most of last season, DWade elevated his status to the second best player in the world during the Olympic games. At 6'4, 215-pounds, Wade is an exceptional athlete that relies on his spin move near the 15' marker as well as his Jordanesque ability to finish plays at the rim. His rugged, reckless style can cause injury as he has missed many games each season. However, I love watching this competitor play basketball and if he remains healthy, he will be a force to reckon with in the JV league Eastern Conference. If you interested in Marquettes complete individual workout, go here: http://store.payloadz.com/go?id=178241


2. Chris Paul - At 23 he is the youngest guard on the list, but has the potential to be the best. After struggling through 64 games his second season, I was worried about his durability. However, after leading his team out of nowhere last season to the Western Conference semifinals before bowing out to the reliable Spurs, Paul has shown the ability to be his best when his best was needed. This competitive greatness is a trademark of the great ones and if Paul can remain healthy, he has a chance to be part of that elite group.

1. Kobe Bryant - This was the easiest position to choose in my opinion. Even Michael Jordan recently went on record saying Bryant is the best floor player of the era. Even more impressive is that he did it with a torn ligament in the pinky finger of his right hand, should have had surgery in February and probably won't have it done until the end of next season. Topping it off, he proved to be the clutch performer for the U.S. Olympic team on its way to a gold medal. There is no arguing this position.

Speaking of Michael Jordan...here is an old clip of him breaking a backboard...

Don Haskins & the NBA's Best Plays and Individual Workouts

Don Haskins was a legend in his own time for starting five black players while the head coach at Texas Western when they played Adolph Rupp's team for the 1966 NCAA National Championship. Disney made his story into the movie entitled Glory Road. I found this article and was amazed at the life of this man even after he had retired.

Check it out here: http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/basketball/news?slug=dw-haskins090808&prov=yhoo&type=lgns


This is an article that includes quotes from Bobby Knight on Coach Haskins:
