https://teachhoops.com/ Coaching offense is not about teaching plays; it is about teaching spacing and decision-making. The "geometry of the court" is the most powerful weapon a coach possesses. When your spacing is elite, you create "gravity" that pulls defenders away from the basket, opening up driving lanes and creating high-percentage looks. The fundamental rule of spacing is that players must remain "two passes away" from the ball, typically 15 to 18 feet apart. In the mid-season January stretch, offenses often become "cluttered" as players hunt for the ball. To fix this, you must reinforce the concept of "occupying the spots"—ensuring the corners and wings are filled to flatten the defense and force them to make difficult choices between helping on a drive or staying with a shooter. To truly "coach" offense, you must shift your focus from the ball-handler to the four players without the ball. These athletes are the ones who actually "set the table" for success. Utilize "Constraint-Based" drills in practice, such as the 5-on-5 No-Dribble game, to force your team to recognize how movement distortions the defense. If a defender "helps" on a drive, the offensive player in the corner must "drift" or "lift" to stay in the ball-handler's line of sight. This "spatial awareness" is the hallmark of a high-IQ offense. By using TeachHoops member calls to audit your offensive "flow," you can identify if your players are "ball-watching" or if they are actively working to maintain the structural integrity of your spacing. Finally, a championship-caliber offense is defined by its "Second and Third Actions." Most defenses can guard the initial set, but very few can guard the "flow" that follows a kick-out pass. This is where "Pillars of Spacing" like the "Short Corner" and the "High Post" become vital. When the ball moves, the spacing must "reset" instantly. Use film study to show your team the difference between a "cluttered" paint and a "clean" one. When players understand that their spacing is what creates the "easy" shots, they develop a sense of accountability to their spots. By prioritizing the "Where" of the offense just as much as the "Who," you ensure that your team is always in a position to exploit the defense's weaknesses and peak during the postseason.

Our conversation with Nadia Bevan continues our series profiling research about women's football. Angela Christian-Wilkes and Nadia delve into Nadia's ethnographic research on developing a women's football team at a club in Melbourne. We discuss the structures that include and exclude within community sport, building inclusive practices, and the messiness of insider research. Nadia is an early career researcher specialising in the barriers and enablers of access to sport for a range of groups, including women, girls, youth and the LGBTQIA+ community. She completed a PhD in Education at Monash University, looking at weight stigma as a barrier to physical activity.

On this episode of the Corner of the Galaxy: Short Corner we're trying to give you the emerging details of the Collective Bargaining Agreement. But we didn't just want to list all the specifics. So Josh was fortunate to be in contact with a gentlemen who has the legal background and knowledge to explain why certain items came about the way they did. For the entire show CoG: Short Corner will host a discussion with Steven Bank (a Paul Hastings Professor of Business Law at UCLA School of Law and a frequent contributor to American Soccer Now as a Legal Analyst). Steven teaches law at UCLA School of Law and is an avid soccer fan. Together, Steven and Josh try and put you in the shoes of the guys negotiating while also giving you details and background information on how the league legal structure was formed and, in many ways, how it is morphing into something else. Think the players got a raw deal? Think that perhaps the owners were greedy? Then listen to how single entity and anti-trust laws effected the negotiations. It's not only an in-depth look at how MLS and the MLS Players Union came to an agreement, but it'll also get you thinking about the future of these negotiations and the leagues continued participation in Free Agency.
On this episode of Corner of the Galaxy: Short Corner your host Josh Guesman talks with ESPNFC.com's Jeff Carlisle. On the tail of publishing his most recent CBA article, Jeff gets in-depth and in-detail in an attempt to drill down to the roadblocks and pitfalls of a possible agreement. Jeff talks about how the players may've backed themselves into a corner, and how dedicated the union (MLSPU) and it's members are to make sure free agency is included in this agreement. They'll also talk about the public relations battle and who's winning it. Have the owners played all their cards? Or have they quietly been talking about single entity and what free agency could do to it. What happens when there is no middle ground? Jeff and Josh discuss it all so that you can understand all the elements going into this very complicated situation.
