One cut can open a triple gap for your best driver.
That’s why the Fan Series is a staple in our offense. Create space. Attack. Read the help.

Stop pressing just to press.

How all is well Coach! As Majerus once said Offense is spacing and spacing is offense. I talked on it at @GlazierBBall clinics over the weekend. Also my latest YouTube video is on it I talk about doing to fit your personnel.

Sunday thought: After attending several clinics lately, I’ve found myself wanting more variety in the offensive talks. I don't think I can listen to another coach talk about spacing and shot quality again! I know its important but...
Has anyone watched a clinic recently and been blown away by a system or new concepts?
Spacing → Gaps → Paint Touches → Decisions.
Don’t collect drills. Build drills that connect to how you play.
Train the decision.
How to connect your spacing, drills, and decision-making 👇

NOW they are saying Kelsey Mitchell needs her own team, free Kelsey, she would THRIVE on her own team away from Caitlin Clark.
Well.. the reason Caitlin is playing alongside Mitchell now is because Kelsey HAD her own team, and managed to be so bad the Fever got BACK to BACK number 1 picks, CC being one of them.
Kelsey Mitchell would STILL have her own team without Clark if she were any good at what everyone wants for her.
Success didn’t come until that one person came, Stop the grift WNBA fans.
