Yesterday and today look almost identical in the set-up of our practices.  We are starting to incorporate overloads regularly in practice right now while shortening the time we are practicing.

1. Dynamic warm-up (5)
2. Individual breakdown (10) Guards and posts
3. Individual defense (10) 1v1 FC / 4v3 scramble transition
4. Team Defense (15) 4v4 defensive cut-throat / 5v4 scramble transition
5. Shooting progression (10)
6. Team Offense (15) Circle drill / 5v5 block-out / Bradley Transition
7. Team Situations (15) Blitz drill / 5v4-4v5 / 8 pt. game
8. FT Standard with running (5) 13/15

We lost last night 57-52, and played very well.  We held them to their lowest point output of the season, and we did through our control of the offensive tempo.  2 missed lay-ups in the last 2 min. and a turnover sealed the deal for us and then we had to foul.  All in all we played very well, now we just need to close out the game as strong as we played the other 30 min.

Here is todays practice:

1. Dynamic warm-up (5)
2. Individual Development (10)
3. Individual defense (10) 1v1 HC / 1v1 closeout
4. Team Defense (15) 3v3 closeout / 4v4 switch / Army Drill
5. Shooting progression (10) 3 in a row / 5 straight shooting / partner shooting
6. Team Offense (15) Circle drill / cut-throat-5 good screens / Live
7. Team Situations (10) Stop and score
8. FT standard (5)

Played a great second half last night in a come from behind win.  We were down by 15 and got back in it.  Offensively we struggled vs. the run and jump early and it got us out of rhythm so we are going to work on that today in practice. 

1. Warm-up (10) Jump rope / Dynamic
2. 1v1 deny the wing (10)
3. 3v3 Hockey (15) safety valve / 5 pt. games / ball screen and switch
4. Shooting progression (10) 1 and 2 hand 3 in a row / 5 straight shooting / olympic shooting 2's and 3's
5. Army Drill (10) 3v3 / 4v4
6. 5v5 Game prep (15) walk through p&r offense, flex offense / 5 pt. games
7. FT Standard (5)

Its been a while since we have posted, so I apologoze for that.  Here is what we are doing today.

1. Warm-up: Jump rope / Shooting progression / Dynamic flexibility

2. Phase 1-Transition Defense (20): Army Drill / Duke Transition

3. Phase 2-HC Defense (20): 1v1 FC / 3v3 / 3v3 reb. cut-throat / Around the horn

4. Phase 3-Transition Offense (10): Get em' drill / Read break

5. Phase 4-HC Offense (25): Offensive review challenge / 5v5 cut-throat, 1 dribble, back screen on ball reversal

6. Skill development (15): 2v0 progression / olympic shooting

We are trying a new format that we learned from some coaches over the break.  Just a different way to teach things so we are going to give it a go and see how it works.

Here is our practice for todau

1. 3-man drills (15)- just like 2v0 progression but with a defender to practice help and recover and blockouts
2. 4v4v4 mult-tasking (15)-UCLA to ball screen to stagger
3. Army Drill (10)-4v4v4
4. 4v4v4 Run and Jump HC (10)
5. 4v4v4 multi-tasking (10)
6. Army Drill (10)-5v5
7. 5v5 Motion (10)

Been a while since we posted on here again, I apologize.

 Monday we did this:

• 3-man drills (15)
• 5v5 Motion emphasis on touching the post and screening (20)
• Army Drill (10)
• 4v4v4 defensive cut-throat (10)
• Blitz Drill (20)

Basically we were looking at alot of FC work because we had been out of the gym here because of ice storms in the area.

Today we are trying something different.  We are going to let the players devise the practice plan, with help from the coaches using our drills and emphasis.  We are trying to see if by giving them some say-so we can increase ownership plus we think it will be much easier to hold them accountable for something they choose.   Will let you know how it goes.
