Here are my personal notes from Nike Clinic in the Dells last spring. I am not a motion guy by any means but I love all of his stuff on player development and defense. I've got plenty of other notes from Coach Weber so if you are interested please email me.

Practice Idea
Put 20 suicides on the practice plan for the end of practice – ind. Players get minus 1 for every offensive rebound they get in practice. (Take away 3 for taking a charge.)

50 Ball Screen Quick Hitters Playbook
This is something that I have been working on since the end of our season. This playbook consists of plays that I have used as well as opponents plays and a lot of looks I have picked up on Watching NBA and College games.
Watching the NCAA tournament for the past couple of weeks it's obvious how big the ball screen has become in the college game. Even teams like Wisconsin and Illinois are using them frequently. One thing that I keep hearing from commentators is giving the guard the option to work down hill off the screen. Giving him space and hitting the screen with speed to get to the rim.
Hopefully you can find a couple of plays or ideas from this playbook that you can use next season.

Notes From Mike Dunlap
If your players aren’t working hard enough, make them play defense 2 on 4. Limit the offense to no dribbling, and four passes before they try to score. Also make them reverse the ball twice.
This would be an overload principle that will make them work harder. Can go 3 on 4 as well.
Drilling for Drill sake is BS! Make it a competition.
5 on 3 Drill: 5 black go 3 on 2, then all five go the other way and play 5 on 3.
Keep Score; black & white team head to head, make a player from the winning team make a free throw to win the drill.

Looking Through Notes
Mario De Sisti Notes Posted on Better X's and O's basketball blog
I have been looking through a lot of notes today and this one really stood out.
The game continues to evolve. To be current coaches must constantly up date how the game is taught. We run many “old” offenses and teach “old” offensive concepts. Many pre-dated the shot clock, 3 point line and the new physical defense. We need to create problems for recovery by the defense. Spacing and movement are key. Making use of the contact by defense. We need to make use of penetration, movement off penetration, continuous picks or screens into picks. The chest pass is an “old” pass yet is the first pass many still teach. It is most used in drills where no defense is prevalent. Almost impossible to use in today’s game.
First as a coach it drives me nuts when we turn the ball over throwing a chest pass that had no chance at all to get to it's target. So his last comment really made me remember some horrid passes that I witnessed this year.
He also made me look at how basketball has changed, and there have been a lot of major changes in offenses just in the past 5 years. Drive and kick has been a huge part of the game since help side defense became something that everyone did. Then the dribble drive craze came in and made some of these concepts more organized. In the past 3 seasons I have watched almost every team in NCAA run ball screen after ball screen. I'm looking forward to watching some more college basketball now that our season is over and trying to pick up on some of the new things or new concepts coaches are changing the game with.

Handoff's to Isolate Key Players
Different concept that I have seen more teams using this year to get different looks off the drive. If you are a dribble hand off team you know how hard teams work to keep you from beating them with this action. One thing I have always had success with is passing to the player and cutting behind them. The cut has to be a hard scoring cut to make it work. Works even better at the center of the court which is why I like this look.

Effective Skill Development
If you have read any of my previous posts you realize that I am a big Kevin Eastman fan. In my opinion he is the best skills coach out there and gives a lot of great information that is easy for coaches at any level to follow. Now that our season is over I'm getting off season skill work ready for players and started looking through his notes and found this.
Most of these are pretty obvious but might be even more important during the off season for players to really get better.
Six components to effective skill development
• Practice at a rate faster than or equal to a game
• Understand that improvement is a process
o Need effective practice and must be in condition
• Eliminate work-out killers: fatigue & boredom
• Have a written work-out plan
• Work on 3 areas everyday: conditioning, dribbling, shooting
• Theory of “2”
o Coach can show any skill in 2 minutes
o 2 weeks before player is comfortable with the skill (working every day)
o 2 months before player is ready to use skill in competition (working every day)

50 Point Shooting Drill
Great drill to create competition within your team at practice. Gives players a goal to work towards which is very important for any shooting drill.
Very easy to make adaptations to fit your team and your style.
