Click here to read the full disclaimer. embrace new YoutH guidelines quick reactions needed in POund drill SucceSSful Set Secure A HigH-PercentAge SHot From HornS For the first time ever, the NBA and USA Basketball have developed youth basketball guidelines so players, parents and coaches can get even more out of our great game. This comes on the heels of the two groups putting together three expert working groups in spring 2016: Health and Wellness, Playing Standards, and Curriculum and Instruction. Participation in multiple sports in early childhood is beneficial from a player health and player development perspective The Health and Wellness group last week shared a scientific paper making recommendations to youth basketball players. One of the most important and potentially controversial recommendations revolves around single-sport specialization and how it s not a good idea until at least the age of 14. Participation in multiple sports in early childhood is beneficial from a player health and player development perspective, the paper reads. Athletes that reach the highest level of development are more likely to have played multiple sports at a young age and delayed single-sport specialization until late adolescence. This is something I ve been preaching within the pages of Basketball Coach Weekly since its inception. I ve worked and talked with many professionals within basketball who abide by this same claim. The paper went on to discuss why these age-appropriate guidelines are important and the groups recommend limiting high-density schedule, meaning stop playing game after game after game on the same day. High-density competition schedule can increase risk for injury and burnout. Parents, coaches and event directors should be cautious in considering tournaments that schedule multiple competitive events (i.e. games) in short periods of time, the paper reads. The groups also come together and recommend players have at least one day per week away from organized basketball, extended time away from organized basketball during the year and adequate sleep every night. Daily rest is important for injury prevention, sport development and overall health. Rest days should be taken each week and extended time off should be taken each year for physical recovery as well as to recharge oneself psychologically. Such an approach, along with getting the recommended amount of sleep, helps to maintain motivation for continued participation, the groups report. Take these recommendations to heart and keep the best interests of your players at the forefront of all your decisions and advice for your athletes. Beyond the power of the NBA and USA Basketball, these guidelines have been endorsed by the Boys & Girls Clubs of America, YMCA of the USA, National Recreate and Parks Association, JCC Association and Positive Coaching Alliance, as well as the NCAA, Nike and Under Armour. So as your season is about to start, remember these guidelines. Sure, promoting multi-sport participation doesn t necessarily pertain to these winter basketball months. But, remember to encourage players to get a little extra sleep during the season. And, reward players with an extra day off once in awhile you might be surprised at how excited and energized they are to return to the court. Encourage multi-sport participation in your youth athletes Michael Austin Editor-in-chief In this issue...

You can contact Customer Services via Skype at basketballcoachweekly or via at customerservices@greenstarmedia.net QUICK HITTER I sat in on a roundtable discussion at the most recent Oregon Athletic Coaches Association basketball clinic. The panel consisted of young coaches and how they handle their coaching responsibilities, obstacles they have to overcome, working with their athletic directors and more. At one point, an attendee as about following their players on social media and socially texting. Do You Follow Players On Social Media? We are not friends. I am your coach, emphatically said Tiffany Behary, head girls coach at Westview High School (Beaverton, Ore.). Jill Noe, the head girls coach at Lakeridge High School (Lake Oswego, Ore.), echoed those sentiments and said she has an open-door policy as it pertains to players needing to speak with her, but she does not want to be considered a friend. What do you think? Do you follow your players on social media? Is there a benefit to keeping an eye on what your players are doing or is it best to keep it separate? Do you text with your players for any reason other than program-related news? Shoot me an at michael.austin@ basketballcoachweekly.com with your thoughts. I ll run your comments in a future issue.

3 Rebounding Drills Defensive rebounding comes down to more than just hustle teach players the tactics they need to be successful on the glass Win The Battle Of The Boards Rebounding requires heart but don t sell this skill short there are a lot of tactics you must drill every day or risk losing ground on the glass Rebounding is a determining factor in the outcome of a game. The team that obtains more rebounds usually will be the victor. Why is that the case? A team can decrease the number of opportunities their opponent has to score by securing a defensive rebound after each attempted shot. A team can also increase their possessions and possibilities to score by pursuing and gaining more offensive rebounds. Simply put, more rebounds mean more opportunities for your team to score and fewer opportunities for the opponent. This is why rebounding is a critical skill to master. I am beginning to see a worrying trend at basketball practices across all levels: rebounding has become the least-taught and most-overcoached skill in the game today. Coaches don t know how to teach basic rebounding skills, so the only instruction given to a player is box out or get the ball, followed by a lot of shouting. Is that all that is required to be a great rebounder? Are these coaches really giving their players the proper tools to dominate the glass, or are they just coaching effort? Rebounding is a skill, and it needs to be taught from a tactical standpoint. Effort, toughness and determination are crucial and should be emphasized, but proper technique, dynamic maneuvers and correct reads and reactions are equally vital to rebounding success. On the defensive side, be sure to stress vision, voice and inside position to players. As a defender, use your peripheral vision to maintain sight of the basketball and the offensive player at all times. For rebounding purposes, seeing both the offensive player and the ball gives a head start because you can move on the flight of the basketball as it leave the shooter s hands, and you can keep eye contact with the ball from the beginning of the shot until it hits the rim. Once the shot is taken, each defensive player also says the word shot so each teammate is prepared for the rebound. Inside position is the space between the opponent and the basket. As a golden rule, the defensive player always take the inside position; this prevents the offense from making straight-line cuts to the rim for scoring opportunities, and it give the defender an advantageous position when a shot is taken. Once the shot goes up, it is harder to maintain this inside position because the offensive player will fight around and through the defender to gain access to the basketball. Use these ideals when instructing defenders through the following two drills. Both place the defense at a disadvantage (more so in the first drill), so vision, voice and inside position become even more critical.

4 Rebounding Drills Overcome The Disadvantage In Overload When players appear to be doing well with rebounding, run this drill to create a massive disadvantage to test how truly great they are on the boards WHY USE IT Sometimes when players feel confident in their rebounding skills, they start to relax and not work as hard. This drill forces them to buckle down, focus on their fundamentals and understand how truly difficult it is to win the rebounding battle. SET UP Use 12 players and one basketball. Five defense players are inside the lane and seven offensive players are outside the 3-point arc. Offensive players 6 and 7 start at the foul lines extended out of bounds on each sideline of the court. HOW TO PLAY Start the action with a pass to the offense (in this case, to the point guard). The defenders react by closing out to defend each offensive player man to man [1]. The offense immediately takes the shot. When the shot is taken, the defense attempts to maintain inside position by boxing out while all seven offensive players pursue the rebound [2]. All players attack the glass and if the defense secures the rebound, those players receive one point for their team. Players repeat the drill until the defensive team scores five points [3]. TECHNIQUE This is an overload drill that puts the five defensive players in an extreme disadvantage as they fight to secure the rebound against seven offensive players. Master rebounding in a 5-on-5 setting before attempting this challenging drill. 1Be sure to spread around where you start the drill with the initial pass in this case it s to 1, but start with other players on subsequent runnings so rebounders see the ball from different angles 3The two extra offensive players look for gaps in the defense to attack the glass, which forces the defenders to block out multiple players 5The defensive team gets a point for gathering the rebound after five points send in five new defensive players 2Defensive players close out in a man-to-man way to the five players on the perimeter 4Defensive rebounders must pay attention to the direction of the ball, as well as the multiple offensive rebounders to get in the best position Player movement Ball movement Dribble Shot Issue 161 BASKETBALL COACH WEEKLY 4

5 Rebounding Drills Quick Reactions Needed In Pound Drill Rebounding requires strength, power and the ability to make quick decisions based on the trajectory of the ball, as well as the angle of the players crashing the glass WHY USE IT This drill simulates what it s like to have offensive players coming full speed toward the hoop, so defenders become accustomed to the pounding they take to secure rebounds. SET UP Use six players and one basketball. Three offensive players are on the baseline facing up the court and three defensive players are on the opposite side of the court across the free-throw line with their backs to the offense. HOW TO PLAY Blow the whistle. Now, the three offensive players sprint up the court toward the three defensive players [1]. When the offensive players reach mid-court, the coach blows a second whistle and attempts a shot. When the defenders hear the second whistle, they are allowed to turn around and face the charging offensive players [2]. The defense works to maintain inside position and secure the rebound while the offense pursues the ball. Expect a lot of collisions, which toughen players to show them how aggressive they need to be when rebounding [3]. TECHNIQUE The team securing the rebound receives one point, then the drill resets as the offense goes to defense. Players repeat the drill until one team earns seven points. Communication is key. Players should be proactive and communicate to their teammates which player they are going to box out. 1On the first whistle, the offensive players sprint up the floor with their heads up and look for rebounding lanes 3Take the shot and be sure to change the shooting angle with each successive running of the drill 5The team grabbing the rebound earns a point and have players switch roles until one team reaches seven points 2Defensive players begin by looking in the opposite direction of the offense, which forces them to make a quick decision 4Defenders must keep an eye on the angle of the ball while finding a box-out responsibility Player movement Ball movement Dribble Shot Issue 161 BASKETBALL COACH WEEKLY 5

6 Successful Set Secure A High-Percentage Shot From Horns After an initial ball-screen-and-roll followed by ball reversal, get an in-close opportunity when the ball handler attacks the middle and throws a pass to a baseline cutter WHY USE IT Horns looks provide so many scoring chances when your spacing holds and your actions are run properly. This set attacks the open baseline as the defenders are busy covering other areas and nets you an easy 2 points. SET UP Start from a traditional Horns set. Your point guard is dribbling at the top. Your two guards are in opposition corners with your forwards at opposite elbows. HOW TO PLAY 5 and 4 both step high to set ball screens. 1 picks way to go. In this instance, 1 dribbles off 4 s ball screen. 1 attacks the right side as 4 rolls to the hoop. Look for 4 on the roll if it s open [1]. If 4 isn t open, 1 stop and begins ball reversal. 1 passes to 5, who has popped to the top. 3 elevates out of the corner and receives a handoff from 5 [2]. 3 now uses the step off the handoff and attacks the middle off the dribble. 4 clears to the left block. 1 relocates to the corner. 2 sprints along the baseline, then comes to a stop at a good passing angle. 1 passes to 2 for the shot [3]. TECHNIQUE With 1 moving to the corner and 3 dribbling in that direction, it appears the play is designed to for 1, which creates baseline space for 2 to get to an opening. 1Be sure 1 changes sides to attack once in awhile so teams can t just jump the right-side dribble and actions 3When 5 hands off to 3, 5 picks off 3 s defender, which gives the new ball handler a step for attacking the middle 43 needs to get across the lane while creating a good passing lane for when 2 makes the baseline cut 24 may be open on the roll, especially as defenders aren t sure which side 1 plans to attack 51 relocates to the corner and giving the appearance the pass is coming this way to draw defensive attention Player movement Ball movement Dribble Shot Issue 161 BASKETBALL COACH WEEKLY 6
