Brian Rosario and Justin Scanson sit down to discuss the latest news concerning COVID19 and what coaches can and should be thinking about during these unsure times.
Hoop Insights: Wisconsin’s Wizard – Micah Potter
Micah Potter could be the secret weapon that unleashes a Badger run deep into March. Potter has given the Badgers a new option to run their offense through and has made them a better defensive team in conference play.
Hoop Insights: The Key to Creighton’s Success
Omaha. Somewhere in middle America. The Creighton Bluejays have been on fire as of late, winning their past four contests and eight of their last nine overall. From the outside, it may look like the Jays’ success is due solely to the play of their top three guards: Mitch Ballock, Ty-Shon Alexander and Marcus Zegarowski.
Hoop Insights: Filip Petrusev and Gonzaga Around the Rim
Through the first several weeks of the season, we’ve seen six teams take the number one spot in the polls. First, Michigan State took the top position in the preseason, followed by Kentucky then Duke.

Sure, there were various entries and tweaks—some years, they ball-screened out of their high-low stuff constantly and
Hoop Insights: Virginia Tech is Wearing Out the Three-Point Line
Offense in college basketball is bad right now. This isn’t an opinion, it’s an objective fact. Sure, it’s early in the season, but the numbers would indicate we’re headed for the worst offensive year since 2015-16, when the shot clock was reduced to 30 seconds. You can attribute this decrease in efficiency to a number

Just Play: Film Sessions
Watching film is important. It can humble or give a shot of confidence. It can convict or acquit, teach or display. You need film for scouting purposes, for self-scouting, and to develop your players. You’d never debate the opposite because this isn’t a controversial statement. As a coach trying to win games, film is a
