Each year will focus in on some areas that will help us to become a
better team.
This year, some parts of the game we will work on include:
REBOUNDING
We are going to be shorter
than every team in the league for the third year in a row. To overcome
this, we are going to be putting extra effort in the little things.
Blocking out will the the second most stressed fundamental this season.
If we hit the boards hard, height will not be the danger factor it might
be.
DEFENSE
Our press last year was
much improved.. We return most of our team speed, so again we will
look to press, then
press, then press some more. Enough pressure will also take pressure
off our "out-heighted" post players.
AGGRESSION
Crashing the boards, stepping
up to take the charge, and hitting the floor after a loose ball will all
be important
keys to our team.
BALL CONTROL
This will be our most stressed
fundamental. The triple threat position will establish each player
as a danger. If we
drive, the ball will be ready to go. The shot will be ready,
and the pass will be set up by a ball fake and a snap pass
to the man.
