Vance Walberg at Rocklin 9/29/07Opening:
•
A high school coach, Clovis West…nothing remarkable about the school or thekids, in 23 years he had 3 Division 1 players.
•
Starting in the late 80’s he saw a different successful Division 1 coach every year,he would go for a week. He noticed the culture, weight room, little things that aprogram did….that you can’t get off of notes, clinics, dvds.
•
This offense / defense (they go hand in hand) is proven at the high school level(Clovis West), JC (Fresno City), and Division 1 (Memphis).
•
This offense, defense, and substitution mentality neautralizes the opponentseffectiveness….enhances your teams’.
•
The offense won’t get you any wins: we win by practicing harder, out hustling theopponent, defending, depth, rebounding, getting to the foul line, and out of bounds plays.
•
He had 7 guys at the end of last year, said he put basketball back 100 years withhis team’s performance.Basics:
•
Four out One in.
•
Two side = right side / Three side = left side
•
Blow Out Zone, Breakdown Zone, Drop Zone, Drag Zone, Rack Zone. We needto use all of these….including drag zone, it clarifies everyone’s movement andreads.
•
1and 5 are point grds (1 is the better / older pt. grd), tougher to pressure two pg’s.
•
2 and 3 are patient, start w/ inside foot at rim
•
2 and 3 must be locked and loaded, spacing at NBA range.
•
4 must read and stay opposite, cleans everything up.
•
Idea is to create the biggest gaps possible for drives.
•
Looking to get to the rack zone 1
st
; “rack zone mentality”
•
Drop zone is for players “not good enough to get to rack zone”
•
1 and 5 have complete “rack it” freedom, do anything you want, just make sureyou get to the basket. They are the only ones who can soot pull up 3’s, it helpsthem with the rack it if they need to be guarded on the pull up 3.
•
1 can be dead middle when we cross half court, 5 can be left sideline…tougher tohelp and gives 1 more options….new and good wrinkle. Maybe use as special.
•
Any time we shoot a three with a foot on the line = team runs
•
After drag 23 (kick out to three side from the drag zone) passer follows to threeside under the post player, creates bigger gaps.
•
“Kick ahead” = pass up the floor, “Kick / Pitch Back” = grd to grd pass, “Kick Out” = Wing go behind action.
•
Pitch Back is 6-8 feet, rack it mentality on pitch back, positive “pitch back” = acatch past the mid line, rack it % goes up on a pitch back catch past mid line.
•
On a Drag drive on the Two side, the 3 must “find the window” on the ThreeSide…locked and loaded at the NBA 3 pt range.
•
Positive Kick Out = the higher the kick out is rec’d the better % of success.
•
Positive Back Door = The better the spacing the higher the %....rather be higherthan the elbow than lower on drop zone.
•
4 must call “ball” loud and flash to elbow when the drop zone is used.
•
Drop zone is a two man game with the wing, remember we want to “rack itideally”, 5, 4, 3 are the outlets….if two man game doesn’t work out.
•
Kick Back, Drop 23 is a good look…look for back doors after kick backs.DRILLS (details):
•
“Olympic Shooting” details: call for ball, set up at NBA three.
•
Drills and hustle make the offense, it all goes together.
•
Mentioned “20 minute drill” and “4 min drill” to determine shooters.
•
“4 Minute Drill” each basket has a name Worst shooters are in hell, 2
nd
and 3
rd
place shooters are in pergatory, 1
st
place team is in heaven. He charts everyplayer, every day. 70% or better are green light, 50-70% can’t shoot if we’regetting “streaked”, must rack it.
•
“4 Minute Drill”: To get to heaven at team has to beat the 1
st
place team 2 days ina row or by ten in one day.
•
“Scramble” (3 on 2 Teams) details: defenders play parallel, there is no “ball” or“back”, they start wide to take away kick ahead pass, then pinch middle if themiddle keeps the ball, they force the middle guy to dribble it up.
•
“Scramble”: Teams. Ball handler sweeps, blows out, and attacks the side oppositeof who passed him the ball, he hits the wing and spots to shoot 3 at high elbow,the man who threw the outlet pass sprints to the block…shot pass or three on kick out from the drive. Play in teams and keep score.
•
Win at everything…win win win!
•
“Cardinal” Details: Push ups if the ball hits the ground out of the net. Quick passes! Defense “is in your lane” = pass it…defense is “out of your lane” = rack it. Defense does not wait for skip pass.
•
“Texas 11” details: start ball in the half court line. Half court guy can’t move. 2on 1 back is same principles as Cardinal offensively. Shoulders and hips square tothe hoop. Stay in your lanes.Zone Stuff
•
Don’t hesitate on 3’s against the zone, make sure to rebound. 3 out of 10 makesand 4 out of 7 offensive rebounds.
•
4 to the glass.
•
Wings are elevated vs zone
•
Dribble at is always a back door, never hand off
•
Push (Circle) and Wheel are great vs zone, swing it and expoit weak side.
•
Alternate sides where offense is initiated, 2 side then 3 side.
•
“1 or 5 Fade” (zone special) 1 hits 2, 5 sets fade screen on the top of the zone.
•
“Bump’ – If the zone is a bump zone, call “Bump”. Wing goes to strong side shortcorner rather than cutting all the way through. Quick two on one vs the Middle of the zone
•
“2 Set”– 3 out 2 in. Elevated mid post and also short corner action. Hit wing,wing hit mid post, for quick dump to short corner.
•
“22” – Same alignment as “2 set”. Elevated mid post and also short corner action.Hit wing, wing pass back to point and drift to corner, reverse it and skip to back towing for 3 pt shot.
•
“52” or “53 – 4 out 1 in. 1 hits 2. 5 screens down on weak side of zone. 2 skips to3 or goes through mid post to the 3 for a three pt shot.
•
His teams shoot 50 threes per game if the are zoned.Random thoughts by WalbergLast year he moved the 1 to the middle of the floor and the 5 to the sideline (parallel tothe 3 lane).2 side3 sideDrop 2 = drop zone, two man game with 2Drop 3 = drop zone, two man game with 3Drop 23 = drop zone, back door to 2, to 3 in the cornerDrop 32 = drop zone, back door to 3, to 2 in the cornerDrag 2 = drive, stop in drag zone, skip to 2Drag 3 = drive, stop in drag zone, skip to 3Drag 34 = drive to drag zone, skip to 3, post 4Drag 24 = drive to drag zone, skip to 2, post 4Rack it….means Rack it (finish / off the glass).1 and 5 are drive first shoot second players.2 and 3 are shoot first drive second playersEmphasized backboard passes or finish on rack it. No bounce passes, direct passes.On drag zone drives options are trail or skip to window….the same side wing is not anoption unless emergency. Defense will tip it if we try to go to same side wing.Keep score in every drill, tally all wins in the foul section on the scoreboard, to get actualcredit for the win, winning team must make a free throw.Live full court is played to 8 by 2’s and 3’s…whoever makes the winning basket also hasto make a free throw…if that player misses the foul shot then the team goes back to 5 or6 or whatever they had previously and the game resumes. Cream rises to the top, the bestplayers end up getting the ball, because they have to win on the court and the foul line.
