Episode notes
Offensive Efficiency Enhances Defense
- McCollum prioritizes offensive efficiency to enhance defense, as better offense allows for more set defenses.
- This approach prioritizes high-quality shots and avoids quick, less efficient transitions, especially against tough opponents.
Tailoring Pace to Point Guard Skill
- Consider your point guard's talent when determining pace; skilled ball-handlers excel in slower, more controlled offenses.
- If lacking a dominant point guard, a slightly faster pace might generate easier transition opportunities.
Benefits of Smaller Rotations
- Smaller rotations (6-7 players) can foster continuity and improve coaching by demanding better motivation and role understanding.
- This approach eliminates the 'fear of the bench' and forces coaches to develop players more effectively.
