Bellarmine is widely known as the team that doesn’t dribble. Head Coach Scott Davenport’s philosophy asserts that a pass heavy offense leads to more defensive breaks downs from opposing teams. Bellarmine’s continuity offense is truly a unique approach to the game.
Coach Ryan Badrtalei, Associate Head Coach for UC Irvine Men's Basketball (@UCImbb), shares the principles to their highly successful transition defense. 🛑🏀
Shot Ready Reads
By @mshaughnessy11
1. Having hands & feet ready to shoot or drive.
2. Quick decision made before the catch.
3. Player attacks the top foot when coach lunges on closeout.
4. Player catches and shoots when coach keeps feet square (simulate short closeout).
COACHES: Coach Tim Kaine (@CoachTKAINE) at Murray State (@RacersHoops) touches on player development on the court, personal development of players off the court, and making the effort to relate to today’s generation.
Maximize your feet 🦶
(By @mshaughnessy11)
Progressions to be effective with your footwork, control, change of pace.
1. Split between the legs
2. Attack to space
3. 1-2 footwork to stop on a dime
4. Retreat back to space, repeat.
