Clips of our conceptual offense. youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Highlights from Emily Urban’s junior State Championship season. https://youtu.be/c7nQomREtdk?si=XxvLoGPGkNMJ3OL0

Senior Kate McGinnis. Unlimited range and such a quick release. Plus has great go to move in the paint with her half donut fade. youtu.be/f81Q1lP0vLM?...

Senior Raegan Krueger. Great footwork in post. Fantastic passer. Has become an excellent three point shooter. youtu.be/EmzJqGdUtwU?...

Also we looked to play through high prime spot. High low emerged as an excellent concept for us.

Get Action was an effective action for us this season. Simple yet hard to guard.

Enjoyed talking about our season on the Get Your Edge podcast. Great questions. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/g...

After last season we convinced our players we needed to be better defensively. They bought in. Starting with being able to “guard your yard” then understanding how we needed to “gap and contest” everything. Connectedness is defense and defense is connectedness. A couple of clips:

With ball screens we taught the hardest way first and focused on it all year. Go over the screen and flat hedge (not drop). If the kids needed to adapt and adjust then peel off late and switch. Also in these clips our Low is responsible for back cuts.

We became very proficient at creating, finding, and using the advantage whether it was a spatial, numerical, or matchup advantage. Some samples: youtu.be/WeZwUoGBKTY?...

Four or our players recognized All State. 3 All State and one honorable mention by our State Coaches Association. www.wissports.net/news_article...

@scribeteach.bsky.social How has your school year gone? Love that another familiar person has made a jump to Bluesky!

A closer look at one possession: Stacking actions organically helps us create advantage. Conceptual understanding grew all season long. Solid one cutter at a time unless we were cutting north/south. Goal is to create, find, and use the advantage.

Our goal is to help create gravity players. Ball skilled shooters who can start, stop, & pivot while making great decisions. Part of having gravity is understanding where your spot is & being skilled enough to get to that spot then finish with a go to shot. Half donut fade & paint pull fade.

I love simple inbounds. One quick look for a bucket with the ultimate goal of getting the ball in. Then simply flow into our actions. This is about as simple as it gets. In — Pin down and slip.

@coachzbasketball.bsky.social Good luck with your upcoming grassroots season! First tournaments coming soon?

The review process has started. Creating teaching clips for summer. Started with our tournament games. Our 1st offensive pillar is Touch the Paint. Here are clips from our Regional Final game vs Notre Dame exhibiting some of our concepts. youtu.be/Zbgz4QgG8Uc?...

2025 WIAA Division 1 State Champions

One game tournament now. Play for the Wisconsin State Championship tomorrow.

We start our next two game tournament tonight in the Wisconsin State Semifinal vs our Fox Valley Association conference foe Appleton East. Going to be a battle.

Synchronicity #nba

Shot to tie. Wow

Connection precedes commitment. Our girls buy into that every single day and they work on building those connections with our youth players. After our sectional win this was my favorite picture.

We found a way to win the sectional 2 game tournament beating state #4 on Thursday in the sectional semi and then state #1 on Saturday in the final. Move on to the next 2 game tournament — State Semifinal on Friday night.

We won our sweet 16 matchup between two of top four teams in the state 56-55. A rock fight of a game. Sad the state put us in the same sectional. Kate McGinnis scored our final 8 points in the last 1:30 after being down 4 with 1:30 left. Refused to let us lose. We move on to elite 8 vs state #1.

1st 2 game tournament down. Regional Champs. On to the next 2 game tournament, Sectionals. State rankings of 4 remaining teams in our sectional: #1 Pewaukee (24-2), #3 Kimberly (25-1), #4 Hartford (23-3), #5 Brookfield East (23-3). 4 conference champions. Will be better than the state final 4 teams

Solid points per shot and distribution.

Total shot chart so far this season.

@radiusathletics.bsky.social Great to see you on Bluesky! Hoping more basketball minds make the move.

Game 15 shot chart. 1.11 ppp. Solid 17 point win over state ranked #5 Hortonville. Showed some resilience when they made a run early in the 2nd half to cut it to two. Needed that experience.

Game 14 shot chart.

Every time I visit the Washington Post they ask me to re-subscribe. I don't think I've ever seen a subscription offer where the annual rate is *more* expensive than the monthly one. How dumb are they? (Also: fuck 'em, I wouldn't resubscribe for $1/year until Bezos sells.)

It’s really stunning how badly google and the bad place ruined search, the most valuable function of the Internet.

A quick clip of some of our run and jump concepts.

Game 11 shot chart.

Game 10 shot chart. 1.20 PPP

We have emphasized these three things all year: 1. Sacrifice and play for each other 2. Defend like crazy 3. Take big advantage shots Nice piece by highlighting our team this week by WGBA NBC 26 in Green Bay. t.co/6ehrHnJnqu

Gonna Clockwork Orange LaFleur and force him to watch every 4th down end around he’s ever called until he agrees to stop calling them

Simple does not mean easy. As a basketball coach sometimes the simple things may look easy but we know how much we practice and work at it. “Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication” da Vinci. Clip is North/South Cutting Directions. #saba

Shot chart from last night's game. 1.19 PPP. 1.55 PPP in the first half. 20 assists on 27 field goals. #saba #basketballanalytics

Game 8 shot chart. First game with everyone healthy. Move to 8-0 overall. W 61-41.

Going to be an interesting end of the year playoff. Our state association (WIAA) could fix this but won’t. Oh well.

Our shot chart for our game on Friday's 73-35 win. Defending at a high level. #basketball #basketballcoaching #basketballanalytics
