We maximize player development through cutting-edge skill acquisition research and a game-centered approach that builds basketball intelligence alongside physical skills.
Building intelligent basketball players through evidence-based instruction-- all resting upon the twin pillars of Attitude & Effort.
We teach players HOW to think and WHY it works. Players who understand principles adapt to any situation. Players who memorize plays struggle when situations change.
Elite teams score nearly twice as many points from transition. Plus, more reps in transition equals more development.
Players learn to identify spacing (single vs double gaps) and make smart decisions. Attack double gaps.
Forcing two defenders to guard one offensive player is how elite offenses generate open shots.
Playing strong off of 2 feet provides an opportunity not just to score, but to make plays.
Defensive success requires relentless effort: contesting shots, boxing out, winning 50/50 balls.
Elite defenses communicate constantly. We teach players to call screens, help rotations, and ball location.
Dopamine & Learning: When players enjoy practice, their brains release dopamine, which strengthens neural pathways and improves memory consolidation.
Fun isn't a bonus—it's a requirement for optimal learning.
Autonomy & Ownership: Players with autonomy produce better learning results.
The evidence behind our system
Key Finding: Transition attempts produce far more rim shots and convert at higher rates than half-court sets.
Expected Points: 100 transition shots net ~110 points compared to ~97 in half-court—13 points per 100 shots.
2012-13 Denver Nuggets: Implemented gap-based offense and achieved highest-ranked offense, 57 wins, 104.12 PPG, 23.96 APG.
82games.com Study: Assisted shots had 8%+ better chance of going in than unassisted.
Villanova Foundation: Championship teams emphasized two-foot balance in and around paint for control and reduced turnovers.
VuHoops Analysis: Steal-starting transitions produce highest efficiency outcomes.
Key Principle: Effective communication transforms reactive into anticipatory defense.
Key Finding: 2v2 vs 4v4 produced ~60% more technical executions, +36% sprints, +75% high-intensity shuffles.
Dopamine's Role: When players enjoy practice, dopamine strengthens neural pathways and improves memory consolidation.
