In Episode 11 of The Help Side Basketball Coaching and Analytics podcast we talk about the NBA. We touch on a play I saw in the Lakers/Heat game and talk about Carmelo Anthony who has been in the news recently. Next we talk about coaching leadership on and off the court and how verbal and nonverbal actions of a coach can influence player's behavior moving forward. In the strategy session we talk about different ways to close out. We talk about how flying by a defender can be effective as well as closing out and preparing for the drive.
