The Help Side Ep 33 Basketball Coaching Strategy Podcast

In Episode 33 of The Help Side: Basketball Coaching Strategy and Analytics podcast we talk about basketball season which is now underway. We talk about Adam Silver listening to this podcast and finally broaching the subject of tanking, and my idea of promotion and relegation. In the analytics section we talk piggy back on a conversation from a previous podcast where we talked about Draymond Green passing up a wide open lay up to pass to Steph Curry for a wide open three. In that episode we made a hypothetical percentage for Steph to shoot for it to be better for the Warriors to take the three than to take the two. Here we take that a step further and talk about the implications of Steph missing the three and how the possible transition opportunities for the other team change the math on whether or not its still the right play. In the strategy session we talk about motion offense in terms of your offense being scouted by opponents. What are the positives of running motion in terms of your opponents preparing for what you do offensively in the motion. Please visit our youtube page, The Help Side where we break down college plays and look at what teams did well and what they could do better.
