I’m watching the replay of the New Mexico and Dayton game from yesterday and noticed New Mexico did a great job of not letting Dayton’s pressure stop them from getting into their half-court offense. When looking to get the ball reversed New Mexico started at the 3 point line, initiated contact with their defender and separated to the NBA 3 point line to catch the pass. When getting open without the basketball we teach “initiate to separate”. As Coach Eastman says, “teach in short phrases or sentences, not in paragraphs”.
