Smart Wins and Shootin’ It Straight. Mike Magpayo and Tim Fanning
We’re wrapping up our three-week rollout of this year’s SoCal Summit clinic replays on SGTV with two final presentations. Last week, we featured Northern Illinois Head Coach, Matt Majkrzak {🔒}, and Cal Poly SLO Associate Head Coach, Kyle Bossier {🔒}. This week, we turn to Fordham Head Coach Mike Magpayo on using analytics, feedback, and language to find edges, and BYU Associate Head Coach Tim Fanning on building a defensive identity during a gold-medal summer. We’ll start with Magpayo’s Smart Wins framework, then turn to Fanning’s lessons from leading the Netherlands U18 National Team to the FIBA U18 EuroBasket B title.

We’re continuing to roll out the clinic replays from this year’s SoCal Summit on SGTV, with another two presentations this week.

Over the next three weeks, we’ll be releasing presentations from the Summit and giving coaches who weren’t able to attend a chance to experience and learn from the clinics. This week, we’re honing in on University of Utah Assistant Martin Schiller and
Attacking the Micro Closeout
Most offensive actions are designed to create an advantage. Once the defense begins rotating, the possession becomes a series of closeouts and decisions about how to attack them.
