good to see there a videos that actually cover fundamentals not how to break ankles and all, this is the best and most effective way to beat your player
This is actually really good stuff. Too many players get caught up in the thinking they have to practice off either pivot foot but they don't realize they'll use their permanent pivot foot 95% of the time in games according to analytics. And if they find that they're on their other pivot foot they'll simply start a live dribble and make their move from there. It's easy to manipulate your footwork on the perimeter to get to your permanent pivot foot. You have to be able to drive both ways and finish at the rim comfortably with either hand but it doesn't matter how you get there as long as you do. Plus players are WAY quicker jabbing/sweeping through when using their preferred pivot foot and their fakes are more believable. The only time you need to use the other pivot foot/practice off it is when you're facing up in the post but you're already close to the rim so your move doesn't have to be as effective to get by your defender and finish. But even then they can go a forward pivot to get to their preferred pivot foot if they wanted to.
We believe that being GREAT pivoting off one foot is better than being average off two... and that for high school and below this is a very effective solution to streamlining footwork training to a group
@@MattHackenberg I play college bball and this is totally applicable too. I find myself almost never using my left foot pivot (I'm a lefty) except when I'm in the post. The permanent pivot foot is a message that all coaches should teach. Makes players more comfortable and effective scorers when going to the rim
Coach, I am a big fan of your videos. I myself coach but I have been for about 6 years now. (cancer, meningitis, etc.) However, I'm doing alot better. Anyway, I'd love to get back onto coaching again and believe I have the opportunity to do so. However, I wanted to say thank you for videos like yours. I really like the offense pick and roll one, but, I really love the fundamental breakdowns thar you do. That is so extremely helpful to coach's like myself who don't have the experience that you and others do. Knowledge like that is very valuable. Thanks again. If u have more videos of breakdown segments, and teaching development drills, I'll be looking. Thanks again. Nick.
Coach was wondering when you are drilling this, did you tell the defenders to go 1/2 speed? Full Speed? I will be using this drill just wonder what you did as far as the intensity of the defenders? Thanks Coach LaMacchia
Coach, most of the clips in the video are against live defense. I would recommend when teaching any new skill to use a simple progression: 1. no defense 2. guided defense 3. live defense 4. "load" the drill with constraints, help defenders, etc If you have more questions please email me matth@hackenberg.biz
Hey Coach, When watching this, I can see the difference between a rocker step and a jab. I feel I would struggle relaying to my players what the difference is. Could you explain how you would explain/coach the difference between the two? Thanks!
Matt Hackenberg. When attacking a lot of the moves aren't attacking based on the high foot, but instead attacking in the direction the defender wants them to go. Lot of coaches or videos say to attack the high foot. What is your coaching belief or teachings? Great video. Thanks!
I think attacking the top foot it an effective technique but in a game players need to be able to attack the open driving space, no matter what the defender's footwork is. I think it's best to let the players experiment and learn in simple settings like this
Excellent fundamentals as usual from Coach Hack.
Thank you coach!!

I haven't heard of this coach but keep posting fundamentals because this can really help people's game
Thanks for the feedback. Look for more videos coming soon
Couldnt agree more

This is one of my all time favorites, K.I.S.S=success. Thanks, Coach!
What an amazing video! This is the aspect of the game I want to learn the most. Would love to have more videos or perhaps coaching.on this subject.

Thanks that's what i figured from watching the videos just wanted to double check. Thanks for the quick response.
I like the practice to game film
Thank you!

Do you teach that left foot is always the pivot foot (for right handed players)?
Yes. Finishing footwork doesn’t apply, but all perimeter catches we pivot on foot opposite the dominant hand
So you have to crossover to the side of where the front foot is standing
to drive how do i keep that pivot foot down before i dribble
Cool video but for most of the players their pivot foots were leaving the ground before the first dribble.
