Teaching Pace and Space Basketball with 3v3, 4v4, and 5v5 Games & Drills

Attended this clinic in the Dells and a little biased being a WI basketball fan but Coach Wodajo was informative. Found out he was a late add that was scheduled to speak right after Iowa's Ben McCollum. Coach Wodajo had a lot of great coaching points and clear instructions. The points system in practice depends on what you want to emphasize and accomplish on your individual team.

What are we measuring?
What are the objectives?
Here is what we are emphasizing.  

Speed of the ball, player, and decision.

The drills and games make playing in transition and playing fast, more controlled and competitive for practices. Coach did a good job. 

The first video in my library from Isaac Wodajo. His teaching methods are excellent and the drills are well designed. This video is easily four stars; however, it's five stars in my book because of the value and structure it lends to summer open gyms. Teach the 3v3, 4v4, and 5v5 games and drills to your team and let them compete within the structure presented in this video by Coach Isaac. Look forward to more of his DVDs.

Isaac was good at explaining the small sided game Wisconsin uses in 3 vs 3, and with the drills to play faster and for conditioning. Good and clear communication that covered the basics of the drills, while giving coaching points to show what can be done. He then explained what the points can be to emphasize certain things you want for your team and to keep it competitive.

Good video from the Wisconsin clinic. As a former college coach and now high school head coach, these drills translate if you want to play in space and play faster with pace. Isaac sets the table with what WI does offensively to intro their offense to start with a small sided half court 3v3 and get reps in this same drill during the season. Using different action and having the defense do different coverages in ball screens for the players to make reads. 

Attack 44 and GTB & go and Celtic attack are good drills in the preseason to teach spacing within your offense and how to play out of closeouts, drive and kick, and get a great shot. Great for conditioning also and can implement rebounding and defensive principles within these drills. Transition defense, guarding 1 on 1, being in help, scrambling to help, closeouts, rebound, etc....

Isaac uses vocabulary that is easy to understand and comprehend. Can tell he's been a head coach by how he repeats things and around some great coaches to always keep it simple, yet accomplish playing in space and with pace that takes time to build. Good BLOB at the end.
