Bericht van Swen Nater voor alle trainers/coaches
%3CPRE%3EOnderstaande mail werd door Swen Nater gestuurd met het verzoek het door te spelen aan alle trainers/coaches. Voor degenen die Swen Nater vorig seizoen gemist hebben. Swen Nater, geboren Den Helder, heeft in zijn jonge jaren voor het wereldbefaamde UCLA-collegeteam onder John Wooden gespeeld. Hij heeft deel uitgemaakt van het Amerikaanse Olympische Team van 1972 en heeft daarna 12 jaar in de NBA gespeeld bij clubs als LA Lakers (finale 1984), San Diego Clippers, New York Mets en San Antonio Spurs. Hij heeft zijn carriere in Italie beeindigd. Na zijn carriere als profbasketballer is hij nog enige tijd actief geweest als collegecoach en heeft hij een aantal videos over postplay en boeken geschreven. Een tweetal met de wereldberoemde coaches John Wooden en Pete Newell. Swen Nater heeft vorig jaar samen met Eiffeltowerscoach Randy Wiel een aantal clinics in Nederland gegeven. Nater wil graag, zoals het ook naar voren komt in onderstaande mail, het spelletje uitdragen en is voor iedereen bereikbaar. De eerste twee nieuwsbrieven zijn inmiddels gepubliceerd. Zie ook mededelingen.%3C/PRE%3E%3CPRE%3EGreetings Coaches: %3C/PRE%3E%3CPRE%3EThis is Swen Nater. I'm writing this e-mail to inform you I have created a blogging website, Over the years, I've had the privilege of helping hundreds of coaches tweek offenses, set up defenses, improve rebounding, and more. However this has been done via phone conversations or personal visits. Although I'm still very open to those methods of communication, this new method, the blog site, will make it possible for me to reach many more and to answer your questions quicker, not to mention staying in touch. When you enter the coachswen site, click on 'Lessons and Live Blog with Swen Nater' to see my first posting. comment if you wish. When commenting, please do not send personal messages there; do that by return e-mail. The comments are there for all coaches to see and learn from. When commenting, please be candid and provide information that will help me improve the postings. Also tell me about other subject you would like me to cover. This is a great means of learning from each other. I look forward to hearing from you. I plan to add a new posting bi-weekly. The subject of a blog posting will usually be decided by what the coach is involved in during that time of the year (i.e. planning, summer leagues, post season play). I will usually choose a theme that will last two weeks or so. There may be as many as four postings about that theme. In other words, the postings are not random; there's a plan. Much of what I will share I learned from John Wooden. However some of it was learned elsewhere. I will never share any information I think is not tested by time or proven to work. On the site, if you choose to 'Subscribe,' you will receive new posting by e-mail, whether you are on the site or not. This is absolutely free. Your choice. On that subject, my motivation for creating this site is to help coaches improve, by posting information and, by coaches commenting, everyone learning from each other. My life passion (professionally) is to get teachers together and have them share information so all can observe and acquire 'best methods.' That's why I co-wrote the book, You Haven't Taught Until They Have Learned.' I wanted to share, with teachers, the genius of John Wooden, one of the greatest teachers of our time. Finally, after you see the site, if you feel comfortable with this, please forward this e-mail to as many coaches you know and encourage them to save the site as a favorite, visit it often, and become involved in the sharing of information. I thank you for your time. If you received this e-mail, I chose you the small group that, I believe, can help me grow this site so thousands of coaches learn from the best, and from each other. Sincerely, Swen Nater %3C/PRE%3E

COUNTERS MAKE PLAYS WORK

%26#147;'COUNTERS' MAKE PLAYS  WORK

Almost every basketball coach is familiar with the %26#147;UCLA Cut.%26#148; It is arguably the most used play in basketball. Its origin can be found far back in basketball%26#146;s history, but it became popular when John Wooden%26#146;s teams used it at UCLA.

The offense is in a high set, with the center at the high post, forwards at the free throw line extended, and guards about fifteen feet apart at the top of the key (a two-guard front). The play begins with a guard-to-guard pass followed by a guard-to-forward pass. Starting the play away from the forward you want to get the ball to increases the chances that will happen.

The next maneuver is the UCLA Cut. The guard that passed to the forward cuts off the center, to the basket, looking for a pass for the score. That is the forward%26#146;s first passing option. The next option is the pass to the high-post center. When receiving the ball, the center has two options: Pass to the weak-side forward that has flashed into the key, or Pass to the strong side where the forward has down screened for the guard that made the UCLA Cut. That is the play in a nutshell and, like mentioned above, it is still very popular.

The purpose of this posting is to help coaches understand the play, as described above, is only a structure; if executed only as explained above, the play is predictable, will cause no defensive distortion, and is very susceptible to turnovers. Many teams that have attempted to run it have found this out the hard way. So how was UCLA so successful with it? The answer is %26#147;counters.%26#148;

It has often been said, %26#147;Players make plays; plays don%26#146;t make players.%26#148; How true. In the UCLA Cut, it is the players that must read the defense and make the play that is made available (counters). And the %26#147;play that is available%26#148; is often a counter play. It can never be said enough. If you don%26#146;t have counters, your offense will not produce the points you need. 

COUNTER PLAYS 
Cutting Guard: When the defense drops below the center, anticipating the cut, the guard pops back for the Jumpshot. When the defense plays ball side of the screen, the guard cuts to the basket for the lob.

Center: After the ball is passed to the forward, even before the UCLA cut, if there is a straight line to the block, he slip-cuts looking for the pass from the forward. When the center senses his defender is anticipating the pass to him from the forward (after the UCLA cut), he acts like he%26#146;s coming out to receive it but then cuts back door.

Strong-Side Forward: Many teams think they can stop the UCLA Cut play by denying the guard-to-forward pass. The forward comes out as if to receive but cuts backdoor. He can receive a pass directly from the guard, or because the %26#147;guard-center-forward triangle%26#148; is set, the guard can pass to the center who delivers the backdoor pass. With the high set, this could produce a lay up.

THE POINT: It%26#146;s the counter plays that make it possible to run the main play. Why? They keep the defense honest. They draw the defense back. All counter plays are aimed directly at the basket for quick scores. When defenders know their players use counters, they will be less likely to anticipate and gamble. Now, you%26#146;re able to get the ball to your flashing weak-side power forward, your center that can drill from the high post, your shooting guard coming off the down screen, or in the post to the forward that down screened. If you have a good-posting guard, you can post him up off the UCLA Cut. But without quick counters, you%26#146;ll not be able to pull any of these off very often. Have fun.

The best way to teach counters is when you break the offense down into parts. Explain and demonstrate the possibilities, provide much repetition of having players practice plays and counters without defense, and then go live.

MAIN SCORERS SCORING by Swen Nater
%3CH2 class=sf_blog_posttitle id=post-123%3ETHE BIG PICTURE Part 1: MAIN SCORERS SCORING%3C/H2%3E%3CDIV class=sf_blog_postmeta%3EPosted by Coach Swen Nater at 7/15/2008 2:04 PM and is filed under %3CA class=categorylink title='View all entries in this category.' href='http://blog.coachswen.com/categories/wQc8NPNK_LXXPisb63XKBa0Spunq_77bRptezbKB288=.aspx' target='_blank'>Offense %3C/DIV%3E%3CDIV class=sf_blog_entry%3E

%3CP class=MsoNormal style='MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt' target='_blank'>%3CFONT face='Times New Roman' size=3%3E

Number One: CREATE MULTIPLE OPTIONS FOR EACH MAIN SCORER:
When the defense double-teams the post, for example, get him the ball on the move, across the key or flashing into the post. Have him handle the ball at the high post, pass it, and then dive down the key off an up screen. Be deceptive; make the defense think the play is going away from the scorer and then, quickly, bring it back. Plays work much better when the defense is deceived. For a forward, start the play away from him. Then swing the ball out to the guard and hit that forward on the weak side elbow. The passing guard then cuts off him, toward the wing, and a double down screen happens on the other side, keeping the defense busy so the forward can go one-on-one.

Number Two: DEVELOP COUNTER PLAYS FOR EVERY PLAY YOU HAVE:
You must think of everything the opponents can, and will do to stop your main scorers. When they focus their team defense on one player, they always leave an opening for the quick score. Counter plays that score will make the defense less aggressive then next time they try it. Instead of you reacting to the defense, the defense will begin to react to you. That's what you want. Then your main plays are more likely to work.  
 
With these two principles, your main scorers will always get their shots. That%92s part of the Big Picture; getting your main scorers the ball. The next posting will address another part of THE BIG PICTURE. I welcome your comments and questions.   Buy the book, John Wooden's UCLA Offense, by John Wooden and me.

Pressure Offense by Swen Nater

THE BIG PICTURE, PART 2, Pressure Offense

The previous posting provided information on how you can keep your team scoring, even when the opponents are attempting  to get the ball out of the hands of your main scorers. Create several options for each of your main scorers and develop counter plays for all of your main plays. But you need Pressure Offense in order to pull that off.

Pressure offense can be clearly seen when watching a professional singles tennis match. The serve, the return, and then the rally begins. Then, player #1 hits a shot player #2 can barely return. Player #2 is now reacting to Player #1. Player #1 moves in and continues to hit deep, strong, and wide until Player #2 makes an error or Player #1 hits a winner. This is Pressure Offense: Making the defense react to the offense. In a basketball game, it is one of the most important ingredients to obtaining high-percentage shots.

Each basketball play begins like the tennis rally, with the exception, when the play begins, the defense is organized and in control. What can the offense do to disorganize the defense and open up scoring opportunities? It needs to apply pressure. Following are three principles for making this happen. 

Number One: EARLY BALL MOVEMENT
Lack of ball movement always puts the defense in control; the time gap between the pass and defensive adjustment is minute.  In other words, the defense is keeping up with the offense. However, when the ball is passed to the wing, into the post, back out to the guard, and to the weak side quickly, the time gap between the pass and defense reaction begins to increase. That%92s the time to begin looking to get the ball to the scorers. 

Number Two: ATTACK THE WEAK-SIDE ELBOW
When ball reversal is made by the guard to weak-side forward pass, it gives time for the defense to regroup and reset.  That%92s like tennis Player #1, when in control, hitting a weak shot right at Player #2, allowing him to get reset and  back in the play. When reversing the ball, keep the pressure on by attacking the weak-side elbow. Bring a good scorer there, get him the ball, and let him go one-on-one as you run the guard off him. This will keep the defense reacting.

Number Three: WEAK SIDE ACTION
As Coach Wooden has preached, %93The weak side makes the strong side go.%94 If the weak side is not making preparation for another ball reversal and scoring opportunity, the weak-side defenders can sag and help on the strong side. After getting the ball to the weak-side elbow, run a double down screen on the new weak side.

Tip of the Day: Elbow should be above the ear at the finish of a jump shot. 

PUT A LITTLE TRIANGLE IN YOUR MOTION
%3CH1%3EPUT A LITTLE TRIANGLE IN YOUR MOTION%3C/H1%3E

Since Phil Jackson began coaching the Chicago Bulls, much has been said about %26#147;Triangle Offense.%26#148; But what is it and will it work for high school and college basketball?

Tex Winter is said to be the originator of Triangle Offense. Actually, Tex doesn%26#146;t refer to the offense as %26#147;Triangle.%26#148; He called it %26#147;Triple-Post Offense.%26#148; The signature of triangle offense is that the offense runs through the post%26#151;low, high, or mid%26#151;and any player can post up. Once the ball is in the post, some of the components of the system are: Strong-side cutting off the post; weak-side action designed to create an immediate score under the basket as well as an outside jump shot; and attacking the weak-side elbow when the ball is reversed, keeping the pressure on.

Many of you use some form of Motion Offense. The strength of Motion is, through the freedom of individual initiative, it can create lay-ups and open jump shots. However, some weaknesses are: When a player receives the ball on the perimeter, he may not be able to make the shot from there; Offensive rebounders are not always in position; and, When the shot is taken, there is often a lack of defensive balance. The weaknesses of Motion Offense are the strengths of Triangle Offense.

Additional strengths of Triangle are: Timing, Offensive pressure (see previous lesson), and Passing Options. Concerning the latter, when the ball enters the post, cuts are made and players, both on strong side and weak side, align to form triangles. The main strengths of triangles are: There are multiple, sequential, passing options, and good spacing. 

I want you to consider combining the strengths of Motion and Triangle. Here%26#146;s how.

NUMBER ONE: RUN EVERY PLAY THROUGH THE POST%26#151;One principle that has been part of championship offense since basketball%26#146;s inception, and always will be, is, initiating offense with the ball at the low, mid, or high post. Coach Wooden was a believer in this concept. The main reason is, when the ball is in the post, you have already penetrated the defense. And, with a post player that can pass the ball, combined with good vertical and horizontal cutting action, the defense must concentrate on protecting the basket, opening up the outside. By the way, you don%26#146;t need a seven-footer in the post. Any player can occupy it at almost any time, especially if your team swings the ball.

NUMBER TWO: ENCOURAGE INDIVIDUAL INITIATIVE WITHIN THE FRAMEWORK OF THE OFFENSE%26#151;Many coaches think Triangle Offense is too structured. Nothing could be further from the truth. Within the structure, there is lots of room for individual initiative, especially on the weak side. As weak-side screening occurs, players make cuts to whatever spots are open. One may cut under the basket, looking for the pass from the post. Another may pop out for the jump shot. But players always make cuts to spots they can score from. When you give each player a strict job description, he%26#146;ll know what he should and should not do.

I apologize for not being able to provide you with diagrams on this posting. Use your mind%26#146;s eye as I explain a typical Triangle Offense play. When the ball goes into the post: Strong side players split or a shooter cuts through to the weak side, off the double screen; a double down screen on the weak side, where one player makes a horizontal basket cut and another pops out for the outside shot. If the ball is passed out to the guard, a weak-side player comes to the weak-side elbow, receives the ball, followed by one player making a basket cut and another double down screen on the new weak side.

Come on! Put a little Triangle in your Motion Offense. You%26#146;ve got enough information to get that board out and begin designing plays. You%26#146;ll discover the ease of creating scoring opportunities for your main scorers (see Posting #1) and keep the offensive pressure on (Posting #2). You%26#146;ll discover how, keeping everyone involved, opens things up for your scorers by making each player a scoring threat. You%26#146;ll also discover, each time a shot is taken, you will have great offensive rebounding and defensive balance. What you end up with is Motion with structure.
