The Help Side Ep 32 Basketball Coaching Strategy Podcast

The Help Side: Basketball Coaching and Analytics Podcast

In Episode 32 of The Help Side: Basketball Coaching Strategy and Analytics podcast we talk about the just concluded NBA finals. We talk about what this result means for both teams going forward. In the analytics section we talk about dealing with first half foul trouble for one of your best players. We discuss the pros and cons of sitting a player with two fouls in the first half as well as when to play them with those two fouls. In the strategy session we talk about changing defenses for the last possession of a game, as in, switching to a zone from man during a crucial late game possession. We talk about why or why not to do it in the first place. Then we switch sides and think about it from the perspective of it happening to us. How we prepare for that situation and how to be ready for when it happens. As always, you can see video breakdowns of college basketball plays on YouTube at The Help Side, and Twitter and Instagram are The Help Side as well.
