I’m relatively new to SAVI. I coach boys Varsity basketball in Wisconsin for a D4 (will be D5 this year based in enrollment). Last year, I implemented a match up zone defense that worked very well - got better as the season went on. Teams struggled with identifying what we were running - some yelled out man to man and others yelled out zone. I really like the concept of the Lock Left defense. RBUT is a good philosophy. My question is with the limited amount of time I have to install it (in Wisconsin we get less than 2 weeks of practice before our first game and over the summer I have about 1 practice a week excluding one week), how do I go about installing this with the limited time frame I have? I’m concerned it will be overwhelming with new terminology, roles and responsibilities. From a program perspective I feel like it would be beneficial. Another question u have is how early is too early to teach the Lock Left Defense? Is Youth and Middle School too early?

Hey all, we do a Basketball Training community for athletes. Today in the Player's room, I taught them how to use film to set their intent for their shooting workouts. I want to share it with you today because it can help your lens as a coach, especially of shooting a basketball. Also, if you have an athlete that wants training from us this Summer, send them here to join! I'm taking the group through our 28 Day Shooting Challenge in June. I can guarantee better shooters in 1 month. I've seen it thousands of times. Send your basketball athletes to check it out here! Free for 7 Days.

Love the coaches personality test! Something to consider??? Making another test for Head Coaches to fill out about their assistant coaches, to see if their perspective of them matches what they got on their own test. Thoughts?

Hey All, you get to be some of the first to take part in this Coach Personality test. I am sure the experience will be informative, and we want feedback. Do you think it's accurate? What did you learn? What did we miss? Are any questions confusing or need work? Click here to take it and enjoy!

Off-season is shooting season. And making shooters better isn't as hard as people think — you just need the right lens. Here's the move that changes everything: → Position 1 (load): hips down, chest up, ball loaded near the middle of the body → Position 2 (the magic move): lift the ball to two without firing the hips → Position 3 (release): push down on the floor as you push out on the ball Most young shooters lift the ball and the hips at the same time. The hands and hips are linked by a chain — and the whole game is breaking that chain. Down at two = power transfer. Pushy and inconsistent if not. Watch the breakdown!
