Tactics Hubie Brown - How to win with less talent

| 1 Hubie Brown
Keys to winning with less talent:
a) Control defensive boards - Sounds easy but it isn't b) Get more shots - Force turnovers - Offensive rebounding c) Get to the foul line - Have an inside game, it can be post-up or dribble penetration, the other team fouls when you attack the paint (or get offensive rebounds), then they have to sub their talent - In the NBA, the team that takes the most foul shots wins 9 out of 10 times d) Get your best shooters high-percentage shots - 2 best shooters in high school, 3 best in the pros - Chart them from the centre of the floor and both sides, they will shoot well from 2 out of 3 spots, but not all 3 spots - If you run passing game or shuffle offence, you're not getting high-percentage shots for your best players, especially at the end of a game. |

| 2 Gospel of offence
- Spacing - no one defender plays two guys - Be able to reverse the ball - Have a short pass and a long pass - Leave an area and replace - Be able to start the offence if they take away the first pass - Have a backdoor game.

| 3 Offensive thoughts
- The offence should be for the team, not for the coach - Inbounds pass with two hands, you can pull it back - Shoot at least 60% off the break - Aim to score against fullcourt pressure, not just get the ball past halfcourt, or they will press all game - Pressing coaches press in the first half so they can see your press break and make adjustments at half time - Move one slot up the lane line when fronted, the defender will go with you, then there is more space for a lob - The easiest place to post is on the dotted line in front of the rim, because everyone plays behind you, nobody fronts - To become good free-throw shooters, shoot 20 minutes a day at lunch time, make 2 in a row then rotate, no talking.
