You only get one hour a week.

That means every minute matters.

The 1-Hour Basketball Coach is a practical guide for volunteer, rec, travel, and middle school coaches who want to run better practices without becoming full-time basketball junkies. Instead of handing you a giant playbook full of complicated drills and scripted offense, this book gives you eight simple frameworks you can use right away.
Inside, you’ll learn how to:
• Start practice with games that actually prepare players to perform.
• Organize one hour into focused 10-minute segments.
• Use constraints to teach decision-making instead of over-coaching every possession.
• Build skills downstream from the situations players actually face in games.
• Simplify offense with a clear order of operations.
• Create flexible platform drills instead of reinventing practice every week.
• Give shorter, clearer, more effective instructions.
• Use all the people, space, and tools available to you.
If you coach young players and want practices that are more engaging, more efficient, and more game-ready, this book will help you make the most of every hour.

Most people think of a dynamic ball handler "creating shots off the dribble" as the only way to create shots. 

We work on shot creation in 3 categories 

1. before the catch, 
2. after the catch, and
3.  off the dribble 

And our main focus is on screening this week, but again counter to where most people's focus is on ball screening, we focus on screens away from the ball with 4 action/ reaction pairs for cutter and screener based on our Rule of Opposites:

1. Straight cut/ screener roll
2. Curl cut, screener spiral
3. Back cut, screener pop
4. Flare cut, screener dive

I was once a "garbage man" - cleaning up my teammate's misses by getting rebounds and putbacks. This is how I now help the "Bigs" learn to be useful, agile, and crafty around the basket!
