Worlds Best Basketball Camp-Bolu, Turkey, 2010
If I say, “Basketball is, within the slow developing sports”, most of you will accept that this is true.
To improve it, I first removed all “null and void” practice mentality and drills”.
As our aim is to create better players with sound fundamentals, why are we hanging around wasting time in practice?
We must get into the 21st century. As such, our training system must be:
1 – Easy to learn
2 – Easy to teach
3 – Must obey energy/output ratio
4 – Must obey time/output ratio.
Here below is the revolutionary “Modular System Drill” which develops all skills for the improvement of the fundamentals. It is progressive and creates results and “Good Habits” with fundamentals much faster. Footwork, Dribbling, Passing and Shooting.
The trainer or coach has the advantage to choose to work on speed for one player and work on for style for the other without changing or modifying the drill.
Please use your imagination, a team on the floor with 4 assistant and 16 players guards, forwards, and centers. All of them has a ball. To warm up everyone is working at his spot on the court. An assistant is helping a forward to receive the pass, the other forward is working on receiving and driving. A guard is working on to how to use the “Big Step” technique after changing hands, between the legs. A forward tries to perfect his between the legs and dribble jump shot. An assistant reminds him to push the ball with a 55 degree angle.
You will soon understand why our players make huge progress and improvement within a much shorter time than most. We reach an Unconscious Competence period much earlier than all other methods.
We can do the same while teaching the shot off the dribble Jump Shot, for example. The “new player #1” will use, one dribble and stop Jump shot. The player # 2 will use two dribble and stop Jump Shot and the player # 3 will use one dribble-stop-change hands-two dribble stop jump shot.
As you see, with the same drill, on the same time with the same trainer, all levels of players can practice. Plus, you can create much more to get out the best result from your assistant coaches.
For example, Coach A is profound for teaching dribbling, Coach B is an expert in shooting and Coach C is loves to teach passing. The head coach can create much a more efficient “station system”. I am sure that once you see this, you will all agree with the idea that “Modular System Drill” is the best in all of the world.
Now, its time to talk about the “Modular Basketball” style or system of play. The mentality is the same.
The solution lies in the definition of what is the best basketball. A strong team wins using big players. You are surprised when they lose. On other hand, there are week teams that astonish everybody when they beat stronger teams.
What is the difference between two teams? The first team wins with its’ players superiority, mostly. The second team is winning with a blend of beautiful, coherent team play.
I will explain a little now but I will go into full details at the Camp in Bolu this July.
Basketball is wonderful game. Every time down the court you have the opportunity to score. If our oppnent scores 80 points per game shooting 100 shots by 40% shooting then we can beat them, shooting 41%.
We can defeat them ,shooting 30%! But we have 7 three pointers. We scored 81. We can also beat them, because our press created 10 steals. They shot 90 shots. We can show you over 50 different possibilities. All examples related to the players. I’ve presented this as a newspaper statistician.
But, and this is important, we can teach something different to our team to be successful.
To reduce Turnovers for example. By using correct spacing we can avoid all double teams. To shoot from special areas on the floor and then to send one extra players for the offensive rebound. And, if I say that, we will eliminate their chance of offensive transition too.
Don’t think that I am out of my head, or feeble minded.
Contrary, these are some pages of 21st century basketball.You will see how is that possible…You will Learn how to teach it…
After the camp, minimum 80% of you, will use the “Modular Basketball System” because it is easy to learn and very easy to teach. It is completely logical and fully tested during my 50 plus year active coaching career.
As you can see, it is all innovative. You will be the first group to see this methodology.
Lastly, send 3-4 players with 2-3 coaches to our Camp to obtain the best results from the Modular Basketball training system.
I hope to see you soon at the World’s Best Basketball Camp-Bolu, 2010.
