A National Championship Coach Shares His Experiences

Coach Bart Sengers of the Netherlands is a coach at Eurosped Twente in Tubbergen and is also involved with the Team Holland Under 18 womens team as an assistant coach. With his club coach Sengers coaches the women and the Under 16 ladies.

With a very young womens team coach Sengers got some upsets playing quick basketball which helped Sengers get elected as an all star coach and runner up for coach of the year. The Under-16 girls did even better as they won the national title.

Here’s coach Sengers account of the 2010-11 season.

More than 200 pages on the Dribble Drive Offense

The  greatly expanded version of the Dribble Drive Offense book is available to buy on Amazon, Lulu.com and as an eBook, below.

The book has 200 pages and was been completely rewritten. I’ve gotten to the bottom of the Dribble Drive, and all the little details of the offense. I talked to Vance Walberg  and that finally settled the last few issues of X’s and O’s. I really think this book covers everything there is to know about the Dribble Drive. There really is no comparison to the first version of the book. This one is 100% better (and 100% longer).

Look for the new chapters on:

  • fundamentals
  • the break down zone
  • passing and cutting
  • the pick & roll
  • the S-gap
  • switching and sagging defenses
  • post play, including how to play with two post players
  • an added 45 pages of drills.

Calipari – a good guy or a con artist?

I’ve heard John Calipari described as a con artist who wins through recruting only – and through shady recruiting too. Having seen the Kentucky All Access DVD’s I’m very sure that the man can coach, and can coach really well (those DVD’s come very recommended).

On the recruitment – and on the man in general – Sports Illustrated ran a feature article a while back (which I only just saw). It’s a really good insight into what makes a big-time college coach:

Too Slick, Too Loud, Too Successful

Why John Calipari Can’t Catch A Break

The NCAA hasn’t held him accountable for any major violation, and dark rumors about his recruiting methods have never stuck. Still, no matter what good the Kentucky coach does—visiting the sick, helping at-risk kids—he’s assumed to have an ulterior motive.

Butler Bulldogs

I’ve been quite impressed with the play of the Butler Bulldogs in this year’s NCAA Tournament.

Specifically I’ve been impressed with their inside screens. Pop over to the NCAA on demand page and have a look:

March Madness On Demand

Notice how Butler constantly are using their bigs to create space on the inside by sealing the post defenders, often from the inside. Whenever the defenders front the post the Butler bigs will just seal on the inside – and this creates a lot of space, and it occupies the post defenders so they help less.

This is somethingthat tickles my brain. I really like it, and I will look at how you can use this in the Dribble Drive.

They often manage to take away the
