Clinic notes - more from Can-Am

Coach Don Meyer spent a weekend in Windsor and ran multiple sessions at a recent Can-Am On-Court Basketball Coaching Clinic (next clinic is June 4-5). Some coaches are still talking about that particular session, MANY are still referencing the notes they took. Beyond making good plain basketball and life common sense, Coach Meyer loves to use (and offer) helpful short forms and acronyms. Here are some to ponder:

• the 3 R's (as it relates to notes) - Retrieve, Review, Reinforce
• OBC - Offensive Board Coverage (teams must have it)
• MBO - Must Block Out (do whatever it takes, fight for what is yours)
• BOPCRO - when rebounding, get a Body On a Player, Chin the ball, see the Rim, Outlet the pass AND Block Out, Pursue the ball, Chin the Rebound, Outlet
  
• SOSO - Screen Out, Seal Out (offensive system strategy in a 3 out rotation)
• H2G - players need to be Hard to Guard (team needs to help get others open)
• PHPSPT - teams need unity - Play Hard, Play Smart, Play Together
• TEAMS - Tough, Effort, Attitude, Motives, Servant Leaders
