NBA / NCAA / High School Sets and Quick Hitters Playbook

Here is another playbook that I compiled a while back that gives a variety of offensive sets and quick hitters from the NBA, NCAA and High School level.  I hope that it gives you some variety to add to your playbooks.

This is one of my favorite times of the year as there looks to be some great match-ups.  Last year I compiled a playbook, called 2011-2012 NCAA Marathon Playbook, with different plays used in the games from all of the teams participating in last year's event.  I plan on releasing another playbook this year as well.

  2. Make sure your team is full of 2 hand rebounders. Rebs. grabbed w/1 hand scream SOFT! - Tom Izzo

  4. Dribbling is the widely abused skill in basketball - John Chaney 
  5. Give your team 1 timeout per practice. They can call it at anytime to regroup. - Kevin Eastman 
  6. To be a good a good offensive coach, you need to know defensive actions (like a football coach) - Brendan Suhr
  7. Know who want to take the ball out at the end of a game. - Doc Rivers 
  8. Plan each practice as if Hubie Brown was going to come watch that practice. - Fran Fraschilla 
  9. As a coach, it your job to give your players the answers to the test before they take it. - Lawrence Frank
  10. Everything that happens or fails to happen is your responsiibity. - Eric Kapitulik
