I broke down 10 possessions where the Golden State Warriors executed a Post - Split Action in their offense. An unbelievable display of smart basketball, versatility in personnel with different options and multiple outcomes out of reading the defense.

You’re a GA on the phone with an Uber Eats driver with 2 minutes left in the game trying to make sure the Chick-Fil-A delivery isn’t late and arrives warm and Scheyer starts yelling at you about Cooper Flagg cramping
Taylor Jenkins bringing out FINLAND.
This action is gaining ground quickly, internationally. It will be a staple of NBA teams very soon.
Finland is a weakside RIP screen paired with a ball screen.
We see it alot with 77.

Teams;
1. Do you RUN over to pick up a teammate on the ground or do you WALK over ?
2. Do you have an URGENT excitement when a teammate makes a play or do you just slap his hand because you are supposed to ?
3. Do you get up off the Bench to greet a teammate or just sit there?
You are not the best player on your team if you constantly find ways to blame your teammates.
You are just the most entitled.
The best players protect their teammates with their play and their leadership. Not with frustration, privileged and selfish reactions to teammates.
I'm excited to share my annual March Madness project, this year in the form of video film breakdowns!
65+ videos covering every team in the field, featuring ~18 hours of content breaking down team personnel and actions:

Young coaches…interviewing for an Asst job. Most HC’s don’t care about X&O’s
What matters:
Sam’s runs
Driving van
Google doc food orders
Laundry
Airport pick up
Small group workouts
Early/late opening gym
Video editing
Photoshop
Cleaning
Then-you’ll be asked about X&O’s
A few extremely important questions EVERY recruit should ask themselves when assessing their game:
How do I affect the game outside of scoring?
Do I make my teammates better?
Am i an energy giver or an energy vampire?
Am I coachable? Can I be coached hard?
Every assistant coach in the country right now who has a scout of a team with a new coach and 2 returners when asked what that team is going to do on offense and defense:
So all the fans were against March Madness expansion?
“Yes Dave”
And expansion would hurt the regular season too?
“Yes Dave”
And force more conference champs to play in the play-in games?
“That’s right”
But they expanded it anyway?
“That’s correct Dave”
Younger Coaches ,
Don’t let anyone tell you that don’t coach effort or energy. That it’s a given. NO IT’S NOT ! You do have to coach someone to believe and understand how hard they have to play to be GREAT. How much energy is needed to persevere and overcome. Build their BELIEF !
Bold statement: Emotions beat teams more than their opponents do. The price of admission for championship-level performance is the ability to stay present.
