He is building confidence I'm his player. I played in college and I promise you the last thing you want to do is to be uncomfortable. most people think he teaches his players get the ball and shoot but he is actually mentally instilling use my best move until they stop it.
Basically stop thinking too much. Let everything be instinctive counters/ reactions. Simple. Reading the defense sometimes yeah but if they strictly man you better attack and work from there lol. I get what he saying just executed a little weird.
kidsupermike You play aggressive the whole damn game, and reading the defense will come instinctively over time. If you're near passing out at the end of every game from exhaustion, doesn't matter how many minutes you played, then everything you need to know will naturally become instinct.
Algorithmic thinking states "yes or no" or "1 or 0". It's the quickest way to solve any problem. Most supremely hyper-athletes play in this manner. Jordan was the master of this! "Do. Or do not. There is no try"
The bigger point is to attack immediately when you catch the ball versus reading the defense prior to attacking. It's also a mentality thing. I want players to have the mentality that they're owning the situation. There are discussions below that talk about this in more detail.
BreakthroughBBall bruh these people don't no ball they jus want to knit pick and be funny in the comments what you're trying to teach is meant to help ballers not to b dissected in the comments by people who don't know what the fuck they talkin bout
He said that if you read the defense you’ll delay your chance of attacking and he’ll dictate where you should go and he’ll block your shot. If you do what you do best you’re gonna confuse the defender and you’ll own him by controlling him like a puppet. It’s mentality he’s emphasizing
I think what coach is instilling here is the that the offensive player should dictate the play, and not the defense. If the offensive player read the defense first, then he has allowed the defense to dictate his move and he will have not have a chance against a good defense. The key is to have the defense off guard by attacking immediately, then reacting if that attack is countered. You can see a lot of players that reads the defense first play the game in slower mode than those of attack first kind of players.
Fixed mindset vs growth mindset. Perhaps it is in the best interest of athletes to work harder on their weaknesses and turn them into strengths. Having go to moves is limiting and becomes predictable. I would encourage athletes to have an arsenal of moves and counters and develop themselves over time. Versatility and Adaptability are keys to the way the game is played today. Players with favourite spots and go too moves become easy to read and therefore easier to guard. Still love these videos though, always get me thinking.
@@KennyPowers101mph Mastery of a particular skill is important. But the game has evolved and coach here asks, "if you can't make YOUR shot, how can you make my shot?" The answer to me is practice both. I refer to an athlete's skills as their "load up" you are not going to have every skill in the book, but you need to develop more than one move, and arsenal of weapons so to speak, to be harder to guard and harder to read "i.e. that is for the defense to read". From a former playing perspective, I found that athletes who had tendencies were easier to guard because they were "predictable" from a defensive standpoint, particularly the "bigs". I am a massive fan of the skyhook and jump hook even for smaller guys, I don't see it taught or used as much these days, but IMO it should be. Also, players should be setting up their defender for failure, so the defender's thinking is technically wrong and the offensive player can capitalize on it. I believe you punish the defense for the decisions they make.
Great advice for one dimensional players. Try to grow your game and learn how to pass the ball when the shot isn’t there or you will be an assistant coach. I see his philosophy which is great when we’re talking about shooting/scoring. But make reads to also learn how to include your teammates.
Tell that to Kyrie or Stephen Curry and theyll laugh in your face. Sorry but this is bull... your approach is assuming your player only has one or two strengths. The truly great players have an arsenal of deadly moves and READ the defense to make their move selection. Lets take another situation, lets say I like to always go right and my defender knows that, if I go right he's already going to be prepared for me and even if I "counter", hell be better equipped because he was already guarding me so well and knows that its a counter because he forced it. Lets say instead I can go both left and right equally well, now the defense has to guess and hell be slower to react because he cannot anticipate and if he does catch up my counter will be more effective because hes already struggling to guard my initial move. If the defense is forcing me to do something Im not comfortable doing that clearly means theres areas of my game I need to work on and need to just pass the ball instead so I don't force shots. I hope all this advice is for low league players and not players who want to excel because if it is you are seriously misleading them.
I do agree that you need to work on your game... both feet, both hands, both directions.... You don't want to have any weaknesses. However, if you study the process of how the Attack & Counter System was developed, you'll learn that it was developed based on studying what NBA players do and what NBA players have said, and what actually works. The great players attack first, then counter. It's a subtle change that makes a big difference. Elgin Baylor, voted one of the top 50 NBA players and who once scored 71 points in a NBA game said that the key to his game is attacking immediately. There is a reason that Don has helped numerous undrafted players get into the NBA. Some even turned into a 10-year+ NBA vets, NBA Champs, All Defensive League Players, Top 3-point shooters in the league. He's trained players like Joe Johnson, Raja Bell, Bruce Bowen, JJ Barea, Tim Hardaway, Omri Casspi, and many other players who have bounced in and out of the league. However, we begged him & compensated him to do camps for us during the summer, so he hasn't been able to train NBA players during the offseason the last 4 years.
+BreakthroughBBall Most of the players you named are one dimensional players. I understand the attacking mentality but your attack is in part based on the defense. If you see an open lane you attack that lane. if your man is partly leaving you open, take the jump shot. Ofcourse you cant force a Center to take a shot if hes not good at shooting but he can still choose a better move instinctively rather than just blindly going for his best move every time.
By your comments, I'm guessing you haven't seen the entirety system because some things are being taken out of context. Open.. yes shoot. An open lane... yes take it. We don't argue those things. Attack BLINDLY... no. We don't believe you should do that. The point is that your mentality should be to attack. In a perfect world, you attack and make the right read. However, we don't live in a perfect world. There are many environmental and genetic factors that affect this and make this difficult for 99.9999% of players to do and have maximum success. I'd rather have a player who attacks and makes the correct read 80% of the time than a player who slows down to make the correct read 100% of the time. If you slow down to make the right read when immediately catching the ball, the gap will disappear. Also, genetic limitations on reaction time can make this too slow for 90% of basketball players. I believe through playing the game and countless repetitions, you develop the correct reads instinctively. If you sacrifice the attack mentality in order to make the right read, you can hinder the development of your game. And none of those players I mentioned are one-dimensional from a big picture perspective. However, in the NBA, they choose to focus on their strengths as there are players on their teams that are better at different things. Those players have skill levels that are better than 99.9999% of basketball players. Get in the gym with some of their workouts. Take some of you players there. Go work out with them. You'll see.
Hey great insight. I see what you mean by the attacking mentality. I thought by attacking you just meant to simple " go with your best moves". Great play making is instinctive. I still see no harm in slowing down the game to make better decisions. We see this all the time in the NBA. Players lull the defender to sleep and try to get a feel for what they are trying to do and then attack based on that. I hope you understand that I am all for the aggressive attacking mentality, but it is also important to keep in mind the mental chess game that is at play. It cannot be ignored and it is a component I believe distinguishes the average from the great. If everyone ALWAYS just attacked then what makes kevin durant or kyrie better than everyone? I have seen players with just as much skill and athleticism as them. What makes them great is their IQ. Part of that is instinctive, and part of it is, as I said, playing chess.
the problem is, not every players' mission on the court is to "attack immediately". so you still have to read defense, beside, counter is kind a way of reading defense. I do agree what you trying to express in this video but I don't think this is a good way to say it
Don says the mentality to have is "shot, shot, shot... until you can't shoot". I totally get this mentality - it's fast, it's immediate, it frees your mind to think of only 1 thing, in the moment. But does this mentality work within a system of screens, passing and cutting etc? If a passer sees an opportunity to make a cut, should he bother? Because the receiver is only thinking "shot, shot, shot", and if I understand the video correctly, should not be concerned about reading the defense; he is focused solely on taking his shot, until his shot is taken away. It also feels like this video is unconcerned with the development of court vision. A great shooter can also be a great play maker. But how can someone make plays if their only concern is "shot, shot,shot"? We've seen many examples of shooters who begin their shot form, then immediately pass to a cutting teammate, who they've noticed only because they've had to read the defense. Plus, if you have a shot that hasn't been taken away, but a pass to the cutter might be the better play, are you still supposed to just shoot?
Great questions, Jamie. I can't speak for Don, but I can tell you what I have done. I've used the system for about 10 years. The "Think Shot" mentality has actually helped my players with court vision. What happens to your eyes when you "Think Shot", your eyes are up to see the entire floor. Within a team aspect, I say "If your teammate has a better scoring opportunity, pass the ball." Everything you mention has not been an issue for me. Don also created a motion offense DVD which shows how he teaches within an offensive standpoint. But if you don't feel comfortable with the System, that's cool. It's not for everybody. In order for it to work, you have to believe in it.
Thanks. I understand you have to believe in a system to buy into it. But from just a few video snippets it's difficult to see how it works in practice. I like how Don simplifies things. That is very valuable.
All those hating on this, 1) everyone in the world knows that James Harden will do the dribble sequence and then drive left or take a stepback shot, and yet he scores doing the same thing again and again. 2) everyone in the world knows Steph Curry is going to come off screens and shoot 3's or do high off glass floaters, and yet he scores doing the same thing again and again. 3) (prime Derrick Rose) everyone in the world knew he is going drive it to the hoop, and yet he scored doing the same thing again and again. there are so many guys who do the same thing and yet score, always go towards your strengths...
You can lift your pivot foot to shoot or pass. However, if you bring the lifted pivot foot back to the ground prior to shooting or passing, it is a traveling violation. You can NOT lift your pivot foot to dribble.
@@BreakthroughBBall lifting the pivot foot off with the other foot on the ground makes the other foot pivot, means pivot has changed without a dribble, its a travel... for that to not be a travel, there has to be a two leg jump, so pivot is lifted but not changed
@@ican.itspossible @ M 13 You both wrong about that, it is NOT a travel (read NBA or Fiba rules or ask any professional referee) - you are allowed to lift your pivot foot to shoot or pass. It would be a travel violation if you plant your lifted pivot back on the ground before shooting or passing. Picture this: otherwise every standard 1-foot layup would be a travel violation (based on your rule interpretation)...after the intial dribble step, you pickup the ball on the 2nd step and therefore establish a pivot foot and on your last step you usually lift your pivot foot ("means pivot has changed without a dribble") for the 1-foot layup finish - but this is NOT a travel and legal in ANY basketball league!
Vincent Sarandi No it's not... Kobe spent hours studying how defenders reacted to his moves so that he can add more to his arsenal and become a better player. He didn't post fade every time he posted up he read the defense. Saw if they were leaning up ready to contest his shot that way he could just spin off and get an easy dunk. Kobe was a genius on the court he had so many moves he could give the defense it just depended on what they were taking away and what they were giving him.
This mentality works great for Kobe because Kobe can go left, go right, operate in the post, catch & shoot, pull-up jumper, dunk over people, etc., etc., etc. Telling kids with only 1 or 2 go-to moves to only do what you do best is horrible coaching. That might be okay if you’re Shaq and the most physically imposing player on the planet but for 99% of youth players this will lead to failure.
What he is actually teaching players here is how to be a ball-hog. If your mentality is just SHOOT SHOOT SHOOT, how the hell can you do a PASS PASS PASS to shoot? He's just limiting the multiple facets this beautiful game has to offer. Plus you can't do counter offensive moves without realizing what the defense is giving you in the 1st place.
I've been doing this for almost ten years now, and it actually has the opposite effect. Your players get their eyes up and see the entire floor and find open teammates. Here is something I wrote a few years back about shot, shot, shot: When you first read the "Shoot. Shoot. Shoot." mentality, you might think it sounds a bit crazy. I know that I did. But after I saw Don teach it and incorporate it, I thought it was genius. After using it, I would not teach any other way now. My player's are just better. They're more confident and more assertive. This is an example of how you can introduce it to your players and it also helps clear up some misunderstandings if you have any: After introducing the new triple threat, you can ask them, "What happens to your feet when you think shot?" After a few player responses, you can say, "Yeah. You aggressively face the basket. You turn as fast as you can under control." After that, you can ask "Now, why is this important?" This is usually where you might lose them. If you're lucky, you might have a few bright players that figure it out. So if they don't answer in a 5 seconds, you can say to them, "If you turn slowly, it allows the defense to get set and you lose your initial advantage." "If you aggressively turn and face the basket like you're going to shoot the ball, it puts pressure on the defense. If they do NOT sprint out to defend and it is a good shot for you, you can shoot the ball." "Now by thinking 'Shot. Shot. Shot' and getting into your shooting position as quickly as possible, the defense has to cover more ground to contest your shot. Now the defense has to rush out and defend you. If the defense is flying at you at a fast speed, you have the advantage because their momentum is coming towards you and it will make it difficult for them to guard the drive." Next, I'll ask them, "If you Think Shot, what happens to your eyes?" Most groups usually get this one right away, "Your eyes are looking at the hoop." "Yes. And when they're looking at the hoop, this does a couple of things for you. Eyes are one of the greatest weapons for fakes and the defense might jump and create a driving or passing lane for you." "Two, if your eyes are up, you can see what?" "Yeah. You can see the whole floor. You can see the defense. You can see your teammates." "Now should you still think 'Shot. Shot. Shot' if you are outside of your shooting range?" "Absolutely! Even if you would never shoot the ball because it is a poor shot for you, just by looking like you are going to shoot the ball will put more pressure on the defense and pull them out of position. Defenders instinctually will fly out of position if you look like you're going to shoot the ball… even if you're a terrible shooter from that spot."As you can see, this mentality can be a great tool to instantly make your team better at offense.
i agree completely with the attack mentality, the problem i have is with the "Shot. Shot. Shot" concept. we teach our kids a "look to score" concept. that means getting ready "prior" to getting the ball. sometimes it's a shot, other times a drive, and other times a pass, but it's based on reading what the defense is giving you. guys like LeBron, Larry Bird, Jason Kidd had an attack mentality, not necessarily a "Shot. Shot. Shot" one.
Sorry coach but the Read and React style is better, easier to understand and less complicated. Plus reading the defense is all you did the whole time except you called it different things. But good luck with it anyway
I see what you're saying. And this actually confused me awhile back, so I dug into the rulebook. And the move above is actually legal. In the NFHS rulebook, it says you can lift your pivot foot to shoot or pass, as long the pivot foot does not touch the floor prior to the release of the ball. However, if you lift your foot prior to a dribble being initiated, it is a travel.
If trash is helping undrafted free agents turn into 10-year NBA vets, win NBA championships, become all defensive team, lead the league in 3-point shooting.... then yes, he's trash. :)
Yo what is you talking about that mentality of yours do nothing in this basketball world trust iam in 8th grade as we speaking trying to make the grade basketball team and if you dont have a good mentality you get eaten alive

Reacting to the defense means reading it...just a word or a term...most importantly you develop skills to be able to react to the defense.
Yeh but it's on your terms not the defenders
Offensive mentality! The defender is there because I put him there!😤 Now I go to my counter! That’s tough! 🔥🔥🔥

He didn't post fade every time he posted up he read the defense. Saw if they were leaning up ready to contest his shot that way he could just spin off and get an easy dunk. Kobe was a genius on the court he had so many moves he could give the defense it just depended on what they were taking away and what they were giving him.
This has to be a joke. Kobe had a counter for his counter moves too rofl.
This mentality works great for Kobe because Kobe can go left, go right, operate in the post, catch & shoot, pull-up jumper, dunk over people, etc., etc., etc. Telling kids with only 1 or 2 go-to moves to only do what you do best is horrible coaching. That might be okay if you’re Shaq and the most physically imposing player on the planet but for 99% of youth players this will lead to failure.
Very good coaching, coach!
Oh he spitting
where is the footwork
robert dinero teaching how to ball
What he is actually teaching players here is how to be a ball-hog. If your mentality is just SHOOT SHOOT SHOOT, how the hell can you do a PASS PASS PASS to shoot? He's just limiting the multiple facets this beautiful game has to offer. Plus you can't do counter offensive moves without realizing what the defense is giving you in the 1st place.
I've been doing this for almost ten years now, and it actually has the opposite effect. Your players get their eyes up and see the entire floor and find open teammates. Here is something I wrote a few years back about shot, shot, shot:
When you first read the "Shoot. Shoot. Shoot." mentality, you might think it sounds a bit crazy. I know that I did.
But after I saw Don teach it and incorporate it, I thought it was genius.
After using it, I would not teach any other way now. My player's are just better. They're more confident and more assertive.
This is an example of how you can introduce it to your players and it also helps clear up some misunderstandings if you have any:
After introducing the new triple threat, you can ask them, "What happens to your feet when you think shot?"
After a few player responses, you can say, "Yeah. You aggressively face the basket. You turn as fast as you can under control."
After that, you can ask "Now, why is this important?"
This is usually where you might lose them. If you're lucky, you might have a few bright players that figure it out. So if they don't answer in a 5 seconds, you can say to them, "If you turn slowly, it allows the defense to get set and you lose your initial advantage."
"If you aggressively turn and face the basket like you're going to shoot the ball, it puts pressure on the defense. If they do NOT sprint out to defend and it is a good shot for you, you can shoot the ball."
"Now by thinking 'Shot. Shot. Shot' and getting into your shooting position as quickly as possible, the defense has to cover more ground to contest your shot. Now the defense has to rush out and defend you. If the defense is flying at you at a fast speed, you have the advantage because their momentum is coming towards you and it will make it difficult for them to guard the drive."
Next, I'll ask them, "If you Think Shot, what happens to your eyes?"
Most groups usually get this one right away, "Your eyes are looking at the hoop."
"Yes. And when they're looking at the hoop, this does a couple of things for you. Eyes are one of the greatest weapons for fakes and the defense might jump and create a driving or passing lane for you."
"Two, if your eyes are up, you can see what?"
"Yeah. You can see the whole floor. You can see the defense. You can see your teammates."
"Now should you still think 'Shot. Shot. Shot' if you are outside of your shooting range?"
"Absolutely! Even if you would never shoot the ball because it is a poor shot for you, just by looking like you are going to shoot the ball will put more pressure on the defense and pull them out of position. Defenders instinctually will fly out of position if you look like you're going to shoot the ball… even if you're a terrible shooter from that spot."As you can see, this mentality can be a great tool to instantly make your team better at offense.
i agree completely with the attack mentality, the problem i have is with the "Shot. Shot. Shot" concept. we teach our kids a "look to score" concept. that means getting ready "prior" to getting the ball. sometimes it's a shot, other times a drive, and other times a pass, but it's based on reading what the defense is giving you. guys like LeBron, Larry Bird, Jason Kidd had an attack mentality, not necessarily a "Shot. Shot. Shot" one.
Jesus, this was long winded
the guy yawning in the background
This a linguistic issue. Reacting to the defense is reading the defense. Juss a term fr
Sorry coach but the Read and React style is better, easier to understand and less complicated. Plus reading the defense is all you did the whole time except you called it different things. But good luck with it anyway
Nah its better when you read it.
what the hell is he talking about.
This is horrible he said do the same thing everytime ever heard of a counter smh
Tae
Ummmm I COULDNT DISAGREE MORE with this “logic”.
It's a travel!
I see what you're saying. And this actually confused me awhile back, so I dug into the rulebook. And the move above is actually legal. In the NFHS rulebook, it says you can lift your pivot foot to shoot or pass, as long the pivot foot does not touch the floor prior to the release of the ball. However, if you lift your foot prior to a dribble being initiated, it is a travel.
That coach is trash you do what they give you not what you want do
and that's why you will never learn nothing by that mentality
If trash is helping undrafted free agents turn into 10-year NBA vets, win NBA championships, become all defensive team, lead the league in 3-point shooting.... then yes, he's trash. :)
Yo what is you talking about that mentality of yours do nothing in this basketball world trust iam in 8th grade as we speaking trying to make the grade basketball team and if you dont have a good mentality you get eaten alive
