University of Washington Women’s Basketball Newsletter – December 8, 2011

Check in with Coach Neighbors and the UW Women’s Basketball Newsletter.

Four Characteristics of a Winner

NBA, NCAA and HS Quick Hits

Simply put, it is tremendous.

Coach Neighbors is truly committed to ‘growing the game’, sharing his experience and knowledge freely.

You can’t ask for more than that.

The latest installment contains several excellent features.

1)    Weight room piece.

2)   FOXHOLE TEST:  Mike had a coach requested this piece and he was not sure that he ever forwarded it to the Newsletter.  It’s a great exercise to do with any team or staff.

3)   A couple of transition Defense pieces…  Early in the year when you really aren’t good at anything yet… YOU BETTER be pretty good at transition defense!!

4)   Dallas Mavericks Playbook

You can sign up for the newsletter by following this LINK. It’s worth it.  I will also try to publish is as often as possible, so you will get it here.

I wanted to share the DALLAS MAVERICKS PLAYBOOK.  It, as well as all of Coach Neighbors other handouts are there and they will “catch you up” if you email in and request it.

Here is DAY THREE of the “PACK LINE”.

Don’t forget DAYS 1 & 2 HERE.

Ever since Tony Bennett came to Virginia and I have watched his UVA team play and practice the “PACK LINE”.  Tony’s father, Dick Bennett, is the creator and their teaching and playing of the “PACK LINE” is very good.

UW assistant Mike Neighbors is providing a really good mailing list and is featuring their teaching progression in the “PACK LINE” during the last two mailings.

The diagrams and teaching is below:

“PACK LINE”

I signed up for the mailing list here:

I don’t claim to know the “PACK LINE” well, I don’t preach it’s greatness or it’s faults.  I am just really intrigued by the teams that execute it really well and their ability to control dribble penetration.  Dribble penetration breaks down defense more than anything else.  Any team’s ability to control and contain dribble penetration, does a great deal towards enabling their success.

Enjoy UW’s  ”PACK LINE”, share any thoughts on your usse of the “PACK LINE” – it’s benefits and/or negatives.

Check out all my Sky HOOPS with House right here each week!

I’ll try to share as many as I can get to as we work through the tournaments.

Many people are using the “HORNS” set this season… there’s nothing better than the pick & roll.  Here’s a “HORNS” variation I like, with a couple of different endings.

Good Luck!

Stay tuned for David Siegel’s Dishin & Swishin on WSTR for our conversation about the Chicago Sky, the upcoming WNBA Draft and season and NCAA and conference tournaments!

David is passionate and knowledgeable and we had a great deal of fun discussing the game.  You can follow David on Twitter @DishNSwish.
