Designing for Transfer
At the highest levels of the game, the challenge is rarely a lack of information. NBA, pro, and college staffs have more film, data, scouts, actions, coverages, and player development ideas than ever before. The separator is often something different: How well can those ideas be taught, practiced, transferred, and adapted when the game gets fast, physical, and unpredictable? A concept can look great on film. A coverage can make sense in a meeting. A skill can be clean in an individual workout. But the real test is whether players can recognize the cue, make the decision, and execute the solution
Hook Ghost Screen
As coaches, we are constantly trying to put out fires on and off the court. And when it comes to solving problems against quality defenses, we often feel like we can only attack one issue at a time. But what if there was a technique that could combat three of the most common problems offenses face? Well, you’re in luck!

NABC Presentation: Attacking a Switch
Our very own Dan Krikorian attended the Final Four, presenting at the National Association of Basketball Coaches clinic (thanks to everyone who attended!!), tackling one of the most important questions in today’s game: how to attack a switch. Drawing heavily from trends across the European game, the presentation broke down a variety of solutions built around spacing, timing, and decision-making against elite switching defenses. Today, we are releasing the full presentation exclusively on SGTV for SG+ members, where it will live alongside our full library of deep-dive breakdowns. If you’re looking to build a complete system for attacking switching defenses, this is one
