Here are some key thoughts from George Karl's Coaching U live presentation which you can find at http://coachingulive.com. He spoke about the Gap Offense based on Vance Walberg's dribble drive system. Wings sprint to corners, post goes to rim and then gets out of way. PG attacks the paint. Last person up fills the other guard behind.
Commitments:
If you want to play fast, you have to change how you coach.
To play fast & aggressive, you have to work on spacing and playing fast everyday!
Execution is not the first priority. Spacing is the 1st priority.
Must teach your team HOW to play, not what to run.
Teach the team HOW to find a defensive mistake & how to make them pay.
Teaching points:
First few practices teach: pace, spacing, and how to attack the defense.
Spacing begins on the defensive rebound.
Shorten the shot clock to force pace.
Do not put in plays for first week or so. Teach RUNNING.
Shot selection is KEY.
60-70% of possessions should result in paint touches.
Personnel:
When rim runner does not get ball they must get out of the way and preferably behind the defense.
Sometimes making your second trailer as your best penetrator can be a great thing.
Set a goal for your PG on how many times they must get to the paint in a game.
On the drive if the player in the corner sees the back of the defenders head, he back cuts.
If the defense over helps, player lifts.
Thoughts:
If you want to play fast, have to have an aggressive defensive style.
"Always play against a team that is in recovery." Chuck Daly
Best shots in basketball: layup, free throws, and threes. Make 25 layups, 25 assists, 25 free throws, and 10 threes and you can not lose.
If you can shoot the three, rebound the three, and defend the three, you have a good chance.
San Antonio Rule: can not hold the ball for more than one second.
We LOVE the layup and like the three.
