Colaborar com os jovens...


O plantel do RESSALTO.COM passa, a partir de hoje, a contar com a minha colaboração. Já está publicado no site (www.ressalto.com) um olhar especial sobre a modalidade.

Neste arranque de colaboração com o Ressalto.com, faço uma análise detalhada do campeão da fase regular do campeonato português, a Ovarense, e explico por que razão considero que os vareiros são candidatos ao troféu final.

O contra ataque


Contra-atacar é avançar com a bola até ao cesto adversário com o máximo de rapidez e segurança, de forma a colocá-lo em desvantagem numérica aquando da recuperação defensiva.
Na filosofia de jogo de qualquer equipa deve constar, necessariamente. o contra-ataque, já que é um estilo de jogo do agrado público, jogadores e treinadores.
Na NBA os Suns são os melhores intérpretes desta acção ofensiva e na NCAA Florida segue o seu exemplo.
O tema está por mim a ser abordado na FMH.
Aqui ficam , para os meus alunos, algumas imagens sugestivas numa época em que as mesmas contam mais que as palavras...

Coach Chatman (Louisiana State ) conduta inapropriada...


Pokey resigned as the head women's basketball coach at Louisiana State on Wednesday after the university became aware of an alleged inappropriate sexual relationship between Chatman and a former player on Chatman's team, sources told ESPN.com.
The university, the sources said, learned of the relationship from an employee within the basketball program. It was unclear when the alleged improper conduct took place, but when asked if it had occurred while the player was a member of a team coached by Chatman, a university source said, "that's my understanding."
The 37-year-old Chatman, who initially revealed plans to quit after the postseason, said she will not coach the Lady Tigers in the NCAA Tournament. In a statement released Thursday afternoon, Chatman said: "My resignation yesterday has prompted speculation and rumors that far exceeded my expectations and it is clear that my presence would be a great distraction during the NCAA Tournament."
to the Final Four both years.
In 2005, Chatman received a four-year contract extension that paid her close to $400,000 annually, plus postseason bonuses ranging from $15,000 for making the NCAA Tournament to $70,000 for winning the national title. The highest-paid coaches in women's college basketball, Pat Summitt of Tennessee and Geno Auriemma of Connecticut, both earn more than $1 million per year.

Bush não sabe driblar....

Everything was going fine until President Bush dropped the ball.

Bush honored the Miami Heat championship basketball team on Tuesday, joking with the team in his usual manner. But Shaquille O'Neal got the last laugh when Bush tried to bounce a basketball to the 7-foot-1 star.

It thudded flat on the stage. Bush looked startled as O'Neal and his teammates laughed.

Analysis of the Raptors Defense

By European Coach Raul Jimenez
Last week Raptors fans enjoyed the article that Raul Jimenez wrote on the Raptors offense so I’m excited to provide fellow Raptors fans with his article on the Raptors defense. In this article he provides fans with his coaching insights in the defensive sets the Raps are running this season through the use of some You Tube clips that he created.

You can read his thoughts on by clicking the “read more” link. Enjoy!


Analysis of the Raptors Defense
By Raul Jimenez

When Jorge Garbajosa went to the NBA, everybody in Spain everybody thought he couldn’t play the “3” spot. He was the best Spanish, and probably European “4,” but it was thought that he wasn’t able to play the “3” on either defense or offense in the NBA.

It’s great to see how Raptors head coach Sam Mitchell has made him able to play against guys like Vince Carter and Paul Pierce because this gives Toronto an important advantage over other teams.

Let’s take a look at Garbajosa’s 1 on 1 defense:



There are more interesting things on Raptors’ defense. One example is the way they switch in screens. They are brave enough and, of course, they are organized enough to do it. A lot of teams have problems when they face this kind of defense. The first reason this is successful is because few teams use this at the beginning of their offense. I’ve found that more teams that use this defense quite often when the shotclock is close to 7-8 seconds. The second interesting thing about the Raptors defense is they are ready to help in case they need to:



To finish with their defense, there is something that give an idea about the “European” style of this team - their zone defense. Although there are many teams which use zones, Toronto is probably the team that get more positive things from their zone. Perhaps the fact of having more European players (or players who have been playing overseas) help them to understand better this kind of defense. It’s very interesting that their zone is flexible, and they can change from one kind to another in the same play. As we watch in the images, the 1-2-2 zone, becomes a 2-3 zone as the offense goes on:



I’ve got to say that I really like this team and the way they play. Let’s see what they can do in the playoffs… I’m really optimistic!
