NLB419 Newsletter #15, 1/16/17

Happy Martin Luther King day.  I enjoyed our day off from school, and found some good articles, and videos I will share.  

Click here for access to all the prior documents in our  newsletters:

Coach Dave Hirschy, from Willard, Ohio made a instructional skills video with a former Willard player, Jimmy Langhurst.  Jimmy played at Robert Morris University, and played professionally over seas.  Below is their 30 minute work out video.  A little grainy, but still really good work.

A nice video showing Karl Anthony Towns reverse pivot series post moves, by Coach Oliver again of Basketball Immersion.  We have really began using the reverse pivot with our players this year.

 December Coaching notes - Zak Boisvert link and PDF.  Coach Boisvert always does a great job sharing notes from his favorite coaching articles he read in the month of December.

 These are some closeout drills I put together for a friend who was frustrated about his team defense.

I am on the basketball immersion newsletter from Coach Chris Oliver.  He shared his notes from the 2016 Canadian super clinic notes.  A great read with some good nuggets.  I enjoyed his 3 stops in a row = 1 kill.  The Toronto Raptors try for 7 kills a game.  At our level, 1 a quarter would be good.
