Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Core Skills For FINISHING at the Rim
Q: What should coaches avoid or reduce to improve finishing outcomes?
They discuss eliminating non-serving finishes, prioritizing spacing and timing, and using simple decision frameworks to let players read defenders and react with appropriate moves rather than forcing complex finishes.
Core Skills For FINISHING at the Rim
Q: What is something coaches spend too much time on when thinking about finishing?
The guests agree that floaters are overemphasized and should be used selectively; instead coaches should focus on core reads, manage dribble counts, and teach patients and balance through structured progressions like two-count drives and smile reads.
Core Skills For FINISHING at the Rim
Q: What is the best way to train finishing? Do you have a go-to approach or drill when someone asks for finishing drills?
He argues for an approach that emphasizes '101' one-on-one play to create endless finishing opportunities and stresses practice that integrates reads, balance, and reading defense; adds that distributing drills across scenarios like catch-and-finish, overloading with defenders, and simulating game reads is more effective than rote finishes.
Core Skills For FINISHING at the Rim
Q: All right, Mike, I get this question a lot. Curious of your answer, because I have trouble answering this question, full disclosure. A lot of coaches will reach out and say, hey, can you give me some good finishing drills?
The guest suggests reframing finishing drills as problem-solving scenarios for the offensive player, focusing on how to create advantages and read defenses rather than accumulating a fixed set of finishes; emphasizes balance between technique and decision making, and using live play and guided defense to develop reads.
How a SAVI Member Won a State Title
Q: What helped you win the state championship this year?
A combination of patient leadership, adaptive offense, strong relationships with players, and a we-are-in-this-together mindset that kept the team cohesive under pressure.
