Hubie Brown "How to WIn WIth Less Talent"

These notes are from an old Hubie Brown tape, that I happened to come across the other day.
Purpose of the tape: It all comes down to 2 things A)How well you teach and B) Do you have talent to make your philosophy work.

"I know you can win when you have all the talent, but can you compete and win when you have less talent." Hubie Brown

Keys to winning with less talent.

1. Control Defensive Boards (Pretty self explanatory but 3 reasons it helps)
1. Limit second shots
2. Less oportunites for the offense
3. A chance to start your offense
2. Get more shots--No excuse to say you have a bad shooting team
1. 2 ways to do this
1. Force Turnovers
2. Offensive rebounds
3. What are you shooting from the line? How many Free Throws are you getting?
1. You must have an inside game (Doesnt have to be a post up game). The goal is 3 point plays
2. Can you get to the line...9 out of 10 times the team that gets to the foul line most will win
3. Attacking the rim leads to fouls on the opponent, which helps to get into the other teams bench. (Your guy might have less talent then their guy, but more talent than their sub)
4. Get your best shooters High Percentage Shots.
1. 3 best players in the pros and 2 best in High School.  Run plays to get your best players the ball (especially late in games)
2. Think of your 2 best shooters- do they shoot a high % from both sides of the floor and from the center of the floor?
1. Chart your shooting drills and you will see that they shoot well from 2 of the 3 spots, but not all 3.
3. Is your offense getting your best shooters shots that they can make?
