Nice workout on Wednesday with Jimark, Dennis, Chris, Josh and Tanielu. Dennis' first practice, but he learned quickly. We went over on-ball pressure (41), handling backcourt traps, a few halfcourt offensive sets, shooting drills, pressbreakers.
In reality, we could run Princeton and UCLA combined over an over and over without verbally yelling a play, but that would take a lot of reps together as a group. Once that happens, it would be a self-running machine. All about reading and positioning, screening and cutting, precise passing and smart decision-making.
But for yesterday, it's another good starting point for our new guys. It's also a test for our returnees, a test of their patience and ability to teach.
Practice again today (Thursday), 4:30 p.m. at Kalakaua. Coach Roy and Kyle will be there, so bring your game! Help each other. Teach each other all the details and nuances of offense, defense, rebounding, positioning. Everything.
