- You must dunk with two hands
- You try to tell guys, will you please wait 'til the screener is set?
- You cannot feed a guy in the post from above the free throw line
- When you're defending the postman, never turn your back when someone's cutting
- You try to tell guys, you never dribble just once
- You must remember, young players, who are you fouling?
- You cannot allow a big man to take the ball uncontested from half court.
- You must cut him off at the circle.
- Your man leaves you, you cut to the front of the rim
- You must pound the boards, force the ball up, and the fatigue factor will free up easy threes
- You always give it to the guy who's cutting and has the high percentage shot
- You must take advantage of turnovers and second shots
- When running the UCLA offense, you must jam the passer
- Any time the ball goes to the wing and a back screen is set by the center or
- forward or the point guard, someone must help him out -- or else jam the passer
- If you front the low post or gamble for a steal, it's a layup
- Any time you get in that area [the lane], you try to make a bounce pass
- You're either going to trap or you're going to force the dribbler high -- but you cannot allow him to turn the corner
- If you're going to force him, force him baseline -- do not allow him to get into the lane
- Post-up guys, will you please catch the ball with both hands, then get good position, then turn to the basket
- You always want to create angles when you start the fast break
- If you're going to front and you catch a lob you cannot send up anything soft
- On dribble penetration you can let your man go baseline, but if they go to the lane instead... Come on! Where's the help?
- You cannot send all 3 guys to the basket because the post up man will have no one to pass to
- Whenever the defensive team fronts the low post, you must clear out the opposite side low box defender
- You try to tell guys, when you're playing against good half court defense not to pass the ball off the dribble because you cannot take it back if the defense reacts
- You cannot front a great post-up player unless you also jam the passer
- In the transition offense you cannot post a man that close to the basket
- You cannot leave your feet unless you are shooting the ball
- You always tell defenders, make the ball change direction
