Footage of some individual "big men" work and drills at @EuroProBasket (Valencia, Spain)
Some more context and concepts on working individually with players and more specificly on offensive rebounding, have a look here:

Excellent ATO by Joventut where they punishes Valencia's Spain PNR defense
VLC has been defending this action by 4 players. Defender of the corner rotates to the shooter, while he shooter's defender stay as "last" to tag the roller
Weak point is a straight pass to the corner

Most coaches look for tactical secrets. Valencia's success may be hidden in something much simpler: a habit repeated every day.

Brain fart because of the nerves or mentally not sharp enough to start the game?

If you want to play Valencia, you better be prepared for the rimrunner
In the first 3’ vs Gran Canaria: 6 easy points and the first run of the game
Defensive transition starts earlier than most think.
Who crashes the offensive glass, and how?

The ACB playoffs are about to start.
Up to 27 playoff games and not a single scheduling overlap. Every game gets its own spotlight. 🔦
The ACB knows how to sell its product. 👀

Everybody talks about the “foul” in yesterday's Euroleague final
What stands out to me is something else:
the absurd lateral speed of Facu Campazzo.
Exactly why he has been one of the best screen navigators for years.

If there is one thing you cannot teach in basketball, it is length.
A few thoughts on talent identification and why basketball still loses too many tall young players before they ever enter the system.

One of the biggest secrets behind Valencia’s success this season is the mobility of their bigs.
Matt Costello is a perfect example.
This sequence shows multiple high-level efforts that will never appear in the boxscore. (1/2)

After a missed corner 3, many players would jog back. Costello sprints back immediately & becomes the key to Valencia’s defensive transition
Seconds later, he outruns everybody down the floor, arrives first & creates the spacing for a wide open 3
Invisible impact (2/2)

ESPN published an excellent piece on the 'Foul up 3' dilemma.
Must-read for coaches:
espn.com/nba/story/_/id/4858…
"Splitter said he prefers to foul because he was "raised in EU bball, where I'd say 98% of the coaches over there foul up 3"
Splitter doesn't follow the BNXT though 👇🏻

In the Belgian-Dutch BNXT league, last week simultaneously in two games the team being up 3 decided not to foul. Both under 10'' to play
Both games went to overtime..
The natural fear of fouling on a three-point shot can sometimes give the offense exactly what it needs... (1/2)

Fouling keeps you in control — provided you trust your players to foul early, and the referees to see it that way
Nothing is guaranteed in this game
But some decisions tilt the odds in your favor. And data help you take those decisions
Especially under 10", this is one of them

Basketball isn’t learned from how people think it should be played.
You learn it from the best, not from textbooks. Basketball evolves continuously.
The one-legged three deserves more attention, and even more in female basketball

A short thread on Awa Fam 🧵
When I arrived in Valencia, she was 12.
I remember thinking: there’s no way she’s only twelve.
Something was different already — not just physically, but in how she saw the game.

At 17, I told Sporza:
“Over two years, all of Europe will be talking about Awa Fam.”
Today, she’s the #3 pick by the Seattle Storm.
For me, she should have been #1.
But senior performance in Europe has been underestimated before. We’ve seen that with Luka Dončić.

A huge credit to the project of @LAlqueriaVBC and @valenciabasket!
Grateful to have been part of it for 3 years.
Congratulations, Awa! Stay true to how you see the game.
