For those who know me as a basketball coach, you know that I am all about defensive basketball. Through the years I have developed a match up zone that I believe in so much that it has become the staple for any team I coach. I preach defense to my teams from day one in practice and it is not uncommon to see early in the season that my team's defense will be way ahead of its offense.
As we played in a scrimmage this weekend against Hondo and La Vernia, it was pretty evident to me that this year is no different for me. We won both scrimmages easily mainly because we could play shut out defense. The two teams simply had a hard time getting a good shot off against our half court defense.
However, as I look at our offensive game, I know we need a lot of work. One difference for me though this year is that I have spent the last three years working under some great coaches, Ron Rogers and Bill Avey, who have taught me a lot about the offensive game of basketball. Hopefully, I can translate some of that knowledge to my team this year.
Enjoy the youtube video of our scrimmage. But understand, that our offense will get better.
