A SEASON WITH MAJERUS: 1ST STAFF MEETING NOTES

The following comes from Utah's Program Notebook from their first staff meeting in 1999...Coach Majerus was certainly a stickler for details -- especially in the way they taught defense:

Stance is everything!

Defensive Field Goal Percentage is most important

Nose in chest

Hand up late on Shot

Make people back cut

Ear in chest

Contact

Vision on ball

Never leave stance

One step off line of the ball

Airtime of the ball

4 Reasons to Leave the Paint:
1. Attack penetration
2. Block out
3. Cutter to pain — Meet and greet
4. Skip pass
