A Deeper Dive into the Rose Series (Part 2 of 2)

Are you leaving opportunities on the court? Most coaches are great at preparing for "first-order" situations like transition and half-court offense, but fail to properly train for "second-order" situations that happen frequently but are rarely practiced. In this episode, Tyler and Mark dive deep into two major special situations: free throws and baseline out-of-bounds plays. They challenge traditional coaching methods and provide a fresh perspective on how to turn these moments into a competitive advantage. From developing a proper free-throw routine to intentional fouling, this episode is packed with tips and strategies that will make your team more prepared and more dangerous in every moment of the game.SAVI Basketball Membership: [Link to SAVI Basketball Membership]The Lock Left Course: [Link to Lock Left Course]TOC Coach Membership: [Link to TOC Coach]SAVI Basketball Newsletter: [Link to SAVI Newsletter]
