Chris Oliver - What Coaching Basketball Using a Games Approach Looks Like - Super Coaches Clinic
CHRIS OLIVER - FOUNDER, BASKETBALL IMMERSION
Chris Oliver is the founder of Basketball Immersion, The Basketball Podcast and Immersion Videos.
As an expert in basketball decision training, he coaches, trains, and mentors coaches to maximize their players’ potential and enjoyment of practices and games. What he is most passionate about in his work is sharing evidence-based coaching ideas that can stimulate your coaching to get better results. The goal is to improve your players’ retention and transfer the things you teach to their performance. You can learn more about concepts like messy learning, constraints-based coaching, maximizing active learning time, adding decision-making to drills, and much more in the numerous blogs he shares at Basketball Immersion Blogs.
After coaching for over 23 years, completing his Master’s degree, and travelling the world to watch NCAA, NBA and Pro teams from around the world, Chris saw the need for more education on a games approach to coaching basketball and training methods to support this. He created Basketball Decision Training (BDT) to bridge the gap between skill development and game applications of those skills.
Most recently, Chris was head coach at the University of Windsor, where he won over 300 games, and compiled a .750 winning percentage. Oliver also coached a Canadian team of professional players to the prestigious Jones Cup international basketball tournament championship, winning gold in 2018. In addition, he has consulted for NBA, NCAA, high school and club basketball organizations around the world.
Chris also shares his games approach to coaching, practical evidence-based drills and decision training concepts openly through in-person and online learning. All of these concepts have been taught globally through online sharing, camps, clinics, private mentoring and consulting with individual coaching and teams’ staff.

I agree with a lot of the info provided in this clinic, I also believe there is still a place for actions such as 3 man weave, especially with players new yo the game. 3 man weave helps with understanding timing and coordination with being able to catch and pass and score. I would also add in different variations, say 3 man weave until half court, then play to score against defense, etc. Teach how having the ball come from different entry points along the court affects play. Always find something new to be abke to show players. Great clinic!

Hi. Great information in this video. I'd also like to know how, from you out there, what's everyone's thoughts are on warm-up drills and the length of time they are done for and the best drills to warm-up with.

great stuff

[@porterpal]

Great in theory and love the focus on empowering the players to 'teach themselves', however if players are consistently getting beat on defense due to slow footwork or simply due to poor bio-mechanics, constant game situations are not going to change that. Everything is relative to age and skill level.

He also mentioned that you coach during play, so that aspect of correction is part of the practice, just have to.pick your moments.
