Inside the Episode
“I made my passion a job, and I still do my job with passion…I think I’ve been very lucky in my life as a coach. When I was about to sink with my ship I found (having passion) helped every time. So I consider myself very lucky.” – Massimo Cancellieri
We had a fantastic conversation on the podcast this week with the Head Coach of CSP Limoges in France’s Pro A division, Massimo Cancellieri! We dove into a ton of interesting topics with Coach Cancellieri including…
- Playing Multiple Defensive Systems: Coach Massimo discusses his affinity for the defensive side of the ball and his philosophies on playing and building multiple defensive systems.
- Offensive Complexity vs. Simplicity: On the other side of the ball we dive into the benefits of mixing both simple and complex actions into half court offense and the way Coach Cancellieri prefers to build his offense up over the course of a season.
- And during “Start, Sub, or Sit?!” we talk “Plus/Minus” Analytics, Free Throw stats, and Hiding Poor Defenders
