This website was begun while I was coaching in Switzerland at Versoix Basket and Ecole Internationale de Genève. The offensive and defensive systems, tactics, skills and drills will hopefully be useful to basketball coaches and players too. Systems and drills in bold are among my favourites (including drills used with kids at summer camps). More-recent revisions and additions are highlighted (e.g., a skills checklist), and below is a rolling list of latest additions.
