| Offensive
trademark:
·
Our offensive philosophy will
encompass the running game.
·
We will try to run on every gained
possession. We do not run and gun, we run and take
high percentage shots. We run to outnumber our
opponents.
·
We must be in top condition to reach
this objective.
·
If the fast break shot is not there,
we run transition into offence...
·
Offence in the quarter-court is based
on player and ball movement. If there is a driving
or shot opportunity, we will drive or shoot within
the context of what we are trying to achieve
offensively.
·
It is crucial to be “ready to play”.
We value possession and take care of the ball.

Defensive Philosophy:
·
Defensively our philosophy is
pressure.
·
We try to apply pressure in the full
court. We try to keep our opponents from doing what
they want to. We “bother them”.
·
We pay attention to and contain the
handler, we allow no middle penetration.
·
We will allow no uncontested shots.
We will allow no second shot opportunities. We will
always communicate to our team mates.
·
Our defense is fundamental to one on
one principle.
Six factors (that must be covered) in
every practice
1.
Defensive Coverage- Communicate, cover the runner/s,
cover the ball, “get back”, stop them from doing
what they want to do on the court
2.
Defensive rebound Coverage- Get the block out, get
the ball.
3.
Handle The Basketball- Outlet, handle the ball
safely, value every possession.
4.
Shooting/ Fundamentals- One missed lay up is one to
many, get good penetration, make good passes, get
the open man the ball, get good shots
5.
Offensive Rebound Coverage- Contest every rebound,
fight the block out, win possession game.
6.
Foul shooting- The only undefended shot we can
expect, so we expect a high conversion.
