[UCCBball] Game this week

[Tom Eitelhuber]

I'm in.

More tweaks in mind for our free-form offense, brain dump follows.

I think it's been working really well on the basic principles (watch
spacing, try to dribble penetrate, screen or cut if someone's coming toward
you, cut to space if someone's moving away), but I'd like people to think
more about the continuous drive-and-kick movements. The team we played last
weekend did it quite well - two guys at the top, two low, one on a 45 or
deep wing. One guy at the top dribbles in, looks for options to the guys
low and the deep wing, then kicks out to other top guy, fills in low,
everyone rotates and the other top guy takes his turn to dribble in. Repeat
repeat repeat. Throw in a screen here and there.

Our big thing is we need everyone to start getting accustomed to moving -
before they catch the ball, while they have the ball, and after they shoot
or pass it. Even when we do drive-and-kick, the natural response is often
for the guy catching it to stay still, only looking for a shot or pass.
That's a big missed opportunity.
