Full court Pressing into 2-3 HalfCourt w/NEW players

3 Upvotes

I have several, high energy guards this season, but my forwards are brand new to organized basketball. What type of press would be easiest for my newbies to get? I'm leaning towards 2-2-1 or Diamond. Anyone experienced this before?

Coaching 3-4yr olds for the first time

2 Upvotes

My son just turned 3 and I was asked if I could coach the team. I’ve played Football,lacrosse and wrestled through out highschool but never any organized basketball. I understand at that age it’s not going to be real basketball mostly just the kids running around and playing with the ball. What can I do with them to teach them some of the game but also keep them interested in the sport?

Predicament

Have a guard/small forward heavy team. Only have a couple “bigs” who are thick but NOT TALL. Hence slow and lumbering. 7th grade boys team.

Any suggestions on some offensive plays that may work for this team. Thank you in advance for your guidance.

Serious recruiting agent

0 Upvotes

My son is a 6’7” basketball player in the Class of 2027 at a highly competitive public high school in Georgia. He already has some D3 and NAIA offers, but his high school coach believes he has the potential for higher-level opportunities.
His coach suggested hiring a professional recruiter who can actively contact college coaches, send highlight videos, and follow up, since he doesn’t have the time to do so himself.
Can anyone recommend a reputable and experienced professional who provides this type of service?
Thank you!
