CHUCK DAILY: USING OFFENSE TO HELP TRANSITION DEFENSE

I’ve really enjoyed on this trip reading “Chuck Daily Coach U” written by Brendan Suhr. It goes into great detail at so many reasons why Chuck Daily was incredible successful at the highest of levels of coaching. Coach Suhr gives you inside information as to the teaching and coaching philosophical thoughts of Coach Daily. But there is also an X & O section of so many of the offensive sets and defensive schemes that the used. Here is just a short snippet on transition defense:

It all starts with “transition defense,” you cannot give up fast break points. Chuck stressed these 4 points.

1) Get to the free throw line

2) Offensive rebounds

3) Don’t turn the ball over

4) Take good shots, not quick shots

It’s interested how his mind worked, he just gave you 4 offensive tips to help your transition defense. He had a very strong believe that as a coach you can emphasize only 2 things to your team to be “GREAT” at, he chose: 1) DEFENSE and 2) REBOUNDING.
