End-of-Game Philosophy
As a coach, it's a coach's job to put players in positions to be successful. Coach White explains that knowing the spots and situations where your players are comfortable scoring helps to expand your players' ability to win late in games.
White outlines the importance of preparing your players for everything that can happen. Coach White shares his plan for preparation and how to modify practices in ways that will make your players feel comfortable and confident when the game is on the line.
Sharing examples, Coach White explains how to set up different situations in practice to help your players to always be aware of the time, score and situations they are in. By practicing game situations every day, you'll learn how to have your players ready for adjustments and twists that come their way.
ATOs (After Time Outs)
Coach White provides game-winning plays for all ATO situations - from sideline out-of-bounds plays (SLOBs) to half-court sets, to baseline out-of-bounds plays (BLOBs) - running examples of each with on-the-court demonstrations.
In a play called 'Cleveland,' Coach White demonstrates how your point guard can use a dribble handoff followed by a pin-down screen to create a scoring opportunity for your best shooter or a slip for your post player to score at the rim.Coach White also shows off 'Double,' a play in which your team can get an open three-point shot in the corner using Iverson Action or getting a slip from your post player after setting a double-screen against the outside of the zone.
The half-court play called 'Florida' helps your point guard get a late flat-ball screen to attack downhill.
Using baseline out of bounds sets, Coach White demonstrates several game-tested plays that he's had success with in a wide-array of situations, including 'Circle 1' and 'Circle 2' to show two of his favorite sets and other wrinkles he runs out of each. These sets will help your players feel confident they can score against any defense.
EOG Sets (End of Game)
From a full-court set to quick-hitting actions late in the game, Coach White helps prepare your players for any time and score situation. In a play called 'Detroit,' the coach demonstrates how having a short clock actually allows you to use misdirection - with your shooting guard setting a screen for the point guard coming off and looking for a quick shot at the top of the key.
Coach White demonstrates a home-run play called 'Long' where your shooting guard comes off of a screen, hits the post player flashing, who then hits a wing for an open 3-point shot.
'Cardinal' is a play shown from a box setup with 5-seconds left on the clock. White details how to use your post players to set a double-screen for your shooting guard, who catches and attacks the rim as the ball-side of the court clears out.
Preparing your players for all situations makes them confident for any situation. Knowing when and where to get your players the ball for a scoring opportunity, is a coaching tactic that builds trust in your players and helps to take your program to new heights.
Coach White has a playbook full of game-winning ATO and EOG sets. In this jam-packed, highly valuable video, Coach White opens his playbook and diagrams his favorites - all designed to give your team an advantage late in the game. This is a must-watch video for coaches at all levels of competition.
Coach Rating: 5 Out of 5 Stars. 'This is an excellent excellent video! Coach White diagrams multiple sets that you can use either after a timeout or at the end of a game. I especially love how coach first draws up the play with the players, without the defense knowing, and then runs each set, which gives you a full read of the play!'
