How My Former Coach Created A Basketball Dynasty - Winning 5 State Titles in 10 Years

Today, I want to share a story about a coach that I was an assistant for.

It's worth a brief moment of your time, because I had the privilege of watching as he built a dynasty program... and I believe you can do the same thing.

However, you don't have to wait over 20 years like this coach did.

• Selected to coach the McDonald's All-American game

A Great Way To Add Pressure to Free Throws During Practice

On Twitter, Andre Phillips (@CoachDre3000) recently posted a fantastic game that he saw his players doing while playing 3v3.

When you scrimmage whether it's 2v2, 3v3, 4v4,or 5v5...

After a made basket, the scoring player shoots a free throw.

If they make it, you get the bucket + 1 point for the made free throw.

If they miss it, you get zero points... even though you made a shot prior to the free throw.

This is a great way to add some pressure to your free throws during practice.

Hopefully, this can help your team make some clutch free throws this season!
