POINT OF ATTACK FINISHING

by Doug Novak

Description

Creating Habits of Foot Organization

Our offensive philosophy revolves around making simple plays multiple times within a possession as we fight for vision, time and space.  This video concentrates on the Point of Attack -- how we finish an action.   We are either trying to find or make space with our finishing plan.  The simplicity of our foot organization with a coordinated “pop” allows us to bring order to chaos while playing with speed and freedom.

Our goal is to build a bullet proof foundation for why we do what we do.  The Point of Attack video will show how we create habits that hold up under pressure.

TEACHING SEQUENCE FOR CREATING HABITS 

TIMING, RHYTHM, BALANCE

Finishing School Series is designed todevelop skills from our finger tips to elbows while we learn how to hide the ball with our face.
We will teach timing, rhythm and balance through our “Freeze Drill”.
17 different finishes using the same footwork are demonstrated along with 11 post moves.
Each player will develop their own blueprint of go-to moves and counters.       
SPEED AND ANGLES
Building on our Finishing School Series, we execute choreographed speed finishes from different areas of the floor along with turning drives into post ups.
ADVANTAGE/ DECISION TESTING

Chris Beat Cancer Featuring: Dr. Keith Scott-Mumby, MD – Food Allergy Detective and Alternative Therapy Watchdog

Dr. Keith Scott-Mumby, MD is a world renowned expert on food allergies, Chinese medicine, homotoxicology (“complex” homeopathy), alternative cancer therapies, and more.

He started the first successful Food and Environmental Allergy Clinic in the UK in 1979 which spread to Harley St (London), Glasgow, Dublin and Stockholm, and made medico-legal history in 1986, when a UK Crown Court accepted his evidence that a food allergy was making a young man murderously violent.
The young man was released on one condition: that he stick to Dr. Keith Scott-Mumby’s diet!.
Dr. Scott-Mumby’s pioneering work in reversing disease by identifying and eliminating food allergies attracted the “quack” label from some of his peers early in his career, but by 1990, the press were calling him “Britain’s Number One Allergy Detective”.
Dr. Scott-Mumby has authored many books including Cancer Research Secrets, in which he examines which alternative therapies are backed by scientific evidence and have real value and which ones don’t.

Police Activity on US Sports Net Presented by Tactical P.E. Featuring: Police Involved Shooting

** (Disclaimer: This video content is intended for educational and informational purposes only) ** San Mateo Police Department released more information regarding an officer involved shooting that occurred on Saturday, September 28, 2019, at 5:19 P.M.

SMPD officers were involved in a shooting in a cul de sac at the end of East Hillsdale Court following a short pursuit. San Mateo Police detectives investigating the criminal activity of the suspects leading up to the critical incident determined both suspects flew to Los Angeles from Philadelphia on the afternoon of September 26, 2019. They then drove to Northern California in a rented white Chevrolet Malibu after stealing a license plate registered to a Honda in Anaheim. Over the course of 48 hours after landing in Los Angeles, leading up to the officer involved incident, the suspects committed a series of theft related crimes in at least 11 locations in Southern California and the Bay Area, of which at least 9 were shopping malls and/or retail stores. Information obtained during the investigation indicates the suspects were shoplifting in Daly City on September 27 before spending the night in Walnut Creek. The suspects then stole a paper temporary license plate from a vehicle in Walnut Creek and on September 28 are suspected of committing multiple thefts in San Jose and Palo Alto before arriving at Hillsdale Shopping Center in San Mateo that afternoon.
The suspects were also seen on camera committing numerous thefts there, including the theft of a woman’s wallet and subsequent use of her credit card to purchase gift cards at Macy’s. While the suspects were inside the Hillsdale Shopping Center, an SMPD officer observed the suspects’ rented Chevrolet Malibu illegally parked in a handicapped stall without a placard.

The SMPD officer identified the vehicle as suspicious due to it being parked unoccupied with the engine running, having a covered VIN, and a license plate belonging to a Honda out of Anaheim. The officer requested additional officers to help with the investigation just before the suspects returned to their vehicle. The Chevrolet exited Hillsdale Shopping Center as it was being monitored and officers attempted to stop the vehicle. The suspects failed to stop and led officers on a pursuit, during which the occupants threw credit cards out of the vehicle along S El Camino Real at 31stAvenue.

During the pursuit, the suspect vehicle hit a parked car on the 400 block of E Hillsdale Boulevard and continued to flee toward E Hillsdale Court. At 5:19 P.M., the suspect vehicle entered a cul de sac as officers closely followed. Seconds later, the suspect vehicle drove toward an oncoming police vehicle and then reversed toward an officer on foot. The officer on foot discharged his service weapon striking the two occupants in the vehicle. Officers immediately called for paramedics and began rendering medical aid until San Mateo Consolidated Fire Department personnel arrived to take over medical care. The suspects were transported to the hospital and treated for their injuries. The San Mateo County District Attorney’s Office continues to investigate the officer involved shooting and is the point of contact for media inquiries about the shooting. Following protocol in all officer critical incidents, the involved officer was placed on administrative leave and remains on leave while the District Attorney’s Office conducts its investigation. San Mateo Police Department is also conducting an administrative review of the shooting as it relates to department policy and procedure. This investigation is also ongoing.

God’s Forgiven Children

by Creflo Dollar 

Mistakes are a part of life. When we make one, we can either chalk it up as a learning experience or hold on to it and let guilt make us miserable. How we deal with our shortcomings either helps us move forward or holds us back. The mistake we make is letting religion weigh so heavily on our hearts and minds that we feel guilty about our past, and forget that forgiveness is available through Jesus Christ.
If we accept Jesus as our personal Lord and Savior, He cleanses us from all our sins, even the ones we haven’t committed yet. When He went on the cross, He only needed to do this once. “But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God…For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified” (Hebrews 10:12, 14). When we believe this, we position ourselves to receive the forgiveness that’s available to us.
Getting born again allows us to receive brand-new identities in Christ. We become God’s children, and receive the right to stand directly in His presence with no guilt or shame. “But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God” (John 1:12, 13). This righteousness doesn’t come from anything we do, but from what Jesus did and our faith in that.
As Christians, we don’t have to keep asking God for forgiveness every time we fall short and miss the mark. This is one important difference between believers and the world. In order to have fellowship with God through His Son, unbelievers must first accept Jesus Christ. “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation” (Romans 10:9, 10). However, once we’re saved, we simply give thanks for what we already have, without the need to continually repeat this process.
The full realization of this changes how we live. It requires renewing our minds according to God’s Word for it to sink in. Some people are afraid to move forward with their lives because of the fear of making a mistake. For born-again believers, this is no longer an issue. “And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you” (Ephesians 4:32).
We’re living under grace. However, having to confess our sins every time we need forgiveness isn’t grace, because that means we must do something to get something from God. We’re recipients of God’s unearned, undeserved favor. “For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more” (Hebrews 8:12). This releases us from beating ourselves up for what we’ve done and allows us to enjoy a close, personal relationship with God.
It’s important to remember this so we won’t spend our energy trying to earn God’s forgiveness. If we’ve been born again, our past is gone, and our loving Father invites us into His presence with open arms. It’s okay to be ourselves, because we have His unconditional acceptance and He helps us make better decisions. Because of Christ, we can change our focus from our past to our future.

How To Play Off-The-Ball At A Young Age

• By Brandon Ogle
• 
  

---

Everyone wants to be the guy with the ball in the closing seconds.
However, after watching many great teams, I’ve realized that too many
of these “players” can have a significant negative impact for the team
overall. With this understanding, it’s not difficult to conclude that young
players need to develop the ability to play basketball without the ball in
their hands. There are so many situations throughout each game where
this comes into play.

Always Ready

MMA athlete and current UFC star Conor McGregor once said, “I stay
ready so I don’t have to get ready.” Although MMA is much different
than basketball, this concept of always being ready doesn’t change. Both
sports require you to make decisions quickly. This idea relates perfectly
to being a better off the ball player. Even when you don’t have the ball in
your hands, you need to constantly be moving and working. When
players start standing around, the offense quickly becomes stagnant.
Unfortunately, this happens far too often at the youth level. Young
players don’t see a need to move around if they don’t possess the
basketball. Whether you’re an outside shooter, a rebounder or a mid-
range player, keep working and stay ready!

Wings/Guards: Roll Off Screens

When I make the claim that players need to play better off-the-ball, this
statement has different implications for various types of players. I’ll
start off with wings and guards. One of the best actions they can do is
run off screens. In doing so, make sure you run off the screen so there is
no space between yourself and the screener. This will ensure you create
enough space from the defender. Then immediately after running off the
screen, get your head up and create an open passing option for the ball
handler. As I mentioned earlier, stay ready!
A second piece of advice is to cut at different speeds. You don’t want to
create an environment where your defender knows where and how
you’ll cut. This is easy to defend against! Always try faking them out by
taking a step one way before sprinting off a screen. In the end, from each
of these recommendations, the central interlocking element is this idea
that you must be constantly be moving.
Keep in mind that after you receive the pass, you’ll need to be thinking
about getting a shot off if you manage to get open. This video from
former NBA assistant coach, Hal Wissel teaches the basics on shooting
off the catch.

Bigs: Set Screens

Due to the nature of the position, bigs are often asked to set screens for
the wings and guards. Often times, it will result in opportunities for the
cutters and not the screener. All of this goes back to the concept of doing
actions for the greater good of the team. In the terms of the actual
screening process, make sure you stand firm and avoid falling victim to
a moving screen turnover. This will quickly draw the ire of your coach!
Sometimes, the screening process will result in chances for the actual
screener. In these, you may set a screen and then roll. Think of a pick-
and-roll offense here. In order to be effective with this, bigs need to
work on catching the ball, putting a dribble or two down and shooting
the ball. Conversely, it can be useful to take a step back to the three-
point line before executing a catch-and-shoot situation. Again, as was
the case with the wings, you need to always be on the move and ready
to make a play.

Frequent Cuts

As I alluded to earlier, one of the biggest downfall for teams can be too
much stagnation. Players are just standing around and the ball handler
doesn’t have any open passing lanes to find a teammate. Frequent cuts
can eliminate this detriment. When cutting, keep in mind that the ball
handler might not always see you when you get open. Don’t let this get
in your head and affect your game, just keep working and fighting out
there. This is particularly important at the youth level. Young players
might start to get frustrated when the point guard fails to see them
when they’re wide open. Rather than letting this frustration boil, go and
tell your point guard where to look, in what might be a soft spot in the
defense.

Better Chemistry Amongst Teammates

Teams filled with players willing to play off-the-ball often possess great
chemistry in the locker room. Even at the youth level, every team will
probably have one or two players that are slightly more talented than
the rest. However, not everyone will possess the skills to handle the ball
a lot and distribute it amongst their teammates. This is why I sort-of
consider great off-the-ball players to be terrific role players. They
understand their role and are always willing to do whatever it takes to
come out of a game with a win. Although, some great off-the-ball players
are truly stars (think of Rip Hamilton, who will be discussed later), you
need everyone on the court to be willing to be a great off-the-ball player.
When players are playing for the greater good of the team, they start to
enjoy playing with each other since there is a greater sense of equality
amongst their teammates.

Rip Hamilton Example

In all my years watching nearly every level of basketball, one player I’ve
always loved evaluating is Richard “Rip” Hamilton. The former Detroit
Piston NBA Champion was a dynamite scorer, amassing a 17.1 scoring
average over his 14-year NBA career. A lot of these points came from
the topics I’ve discussed above. When playing with the Pistons, he had a
point guard in Chauncey Billups who had great vision of the court.
Hamilton was always rolling off screens and creating passing
opportunities for Billups. Upon receiving the pass, Hamilton wouldn’t
hesitate to pull up mid-range for the jumper. You’ll likely never find a
better mid-range shooter than Rip.

Keep Moving!

Playing off the ball ultimately boils down to always being on the move.
Defenses are going to look to get in a rhythm to where they are always
in the right place. Conversely, offenses want to disrupt this and keep
them thinking. Whether you’re a forward, center or guard, there is
always something to be doing. For young players, acquiring this skill
and knowledge can pay serious dividends as you progress in your
basketball career.

Team Drills for Shooting and Decision Making for all ages - feat. Dr Dish

by Coach Liam Flynn

Description

This video takes you through some of my favourite drills for teaching decision making on offence.  These drills I have used with both pro teams and youth teams over my career.

All the drills have defence included so that the offensive players can read when to pass, shoot or drive.  There are ten (10) different drills that build upon each other and progress from 2v1, to 3v2, then up to 3v3.  The three main offensive concepts that we focus on are 1) Attacking off the catch 2) Passing against the grain 3) Drive, Kick, Clear (DKC).

Every drill has opportunities for multiple players to get shots in the same repetition of the drill.  We have a Dr Dish machine in each drill; however, these drills can still be used without the machine by adding in another passing line.

If you are looking for drills to get a high volume of shots up AND teach decision making with your players, then this is the video to purchase! Book this course....

Elite bodybuilding and strength coach Paul Carter focuses on modalities that help grow or retain muscle while keeping wear and tear to a minimum, letting you train three days a week.
► Paul Carter's Jacked in 3 Training Program: https://bbcom.me/2QzH4tO
► Shop Bodybuilding Signature Supplements: https://bbcom.me/342EvEE
► All Access 7-Day Free Trial: https://bbcom.me/32ZwFdx

This innovative, adaptable training program is for anyone with limited time who still wants to train hard and get jacked. To deliver workouts that give more than they take,

 The Highest Quality Workouts in the least amount of time.

 | Better Gains, Fewer Pains, and More Time to Live Your Life! | The program is built around Carter's accumulative volume training, which lets you push solid weight in every workout and still be fresh for the next one. You have numerous choices every day for what moves to do and how hard you train. It's just four weeks, but can be extended indefinitely!

 | Expert Instruction | In an extensive overview video and complete upper-body video workout, Carter will show you everything you need to know to perform his unique training protocol. This is the kind of high-level guidance that makes all the difference!

 | Nutrition and Supplement Plan | Strip it down to the basics! The three main guidelines of Paul Carter's food and supplement program were created, like the workout plan, to simplify your life while maximizing your gains.

 A hard truth of training is that the training method that would produce the fastest results is almost always one you can't do. Why? Because you're a semi-responsible adult and have the schedule and life stress associated with adulting.

 This doesn't mean you can't achieve good or even potentially great results. But it means you should probably skip the training routines of Olympia-level bodybuilders and professional athletes who make a living through human performance.

 For the normal-life adult, training economy—not intensity or volume—is probably the most important factor to be considered in training. Unfortunately, training economy is also far harder to define than those other two variables.
