I like Purdue’s chances…especially after reading this
Hey Coach,
Well, as they say, “changes are afoot” in college coaching circles…
When I read about John Beilein’s decision to leave Michigan and take the Cleveland job, I just shook my head.
It just didn’t make much sense to me…
Why leave a program that’s in the hunt for a national title for one that is…well, going to need some “returning” to say the least?
I will say this though, Matt Painter’s job just got a little easier.
Fact.
With Beilein out of the picture and Purdue now a perennial contender in March, I’m liking the Boilermaker’s chances going forward.
Painter now has 3 Big Ten titles and 5 Sweet 16 Appearances in 11 trips to the NCAA Tournament (including 3 in a row).
I don’t know about you, but I put him in the top 3 active coaches.
With that in mind, I did some digging and got my hands on something…
I have the Purdue Boilermaker’s Playbook for you!
Very timely I thought.
If there’s one thing we can ALL agree on, it is that there are few teams with the ability to get open three-point shots with their set plays with the consistency of Purdue. (Dare I say no one?)
Also fact.
This playbook is divided into 6 sections.
Swivel Series
Horns Series
Weave Series
Special Series
Baseline OB Series
Sideline Series
Straightforward. No BS.
And I have a SUPER imaginative title to match:
Purdue Boilermakers Offensive Playbook (hahaha…crazy original, I know.)
Anyway…
You’ll get 92 total pages with everything you’ll need to understand why Painter’s motion offense has consistently been one of the top 5 offenses in college ball in recent years.

[**New Release**] The playbook that helped mold Steph Curry at Davidson
NOTE: This is the first announcement of a previously unreleased playbook!
(And we all know how fired up I get when this happens…)
There’s a reason Bob McKillop is the winningest coach in Southern Conference history.
There’s a reason he has over 550 career wins and why Davidson will ALWAYS have a target on their back.
I’ll go as far as to say this…
I firmly believe his program may be the best one for you to study.
Why?
The simplicity of Coach McKillop’s approach is IDEAL for young player development.
If you’re not familiar with everything they do. Here’s the short version:
McKillop drives home “Seven Keys”–

Talk
Hit Flesh
Do Details
Finish Everything
Balance

Jay Bilas’s blog over at ESPN has a nice summary you can check out here:
http://www.espn.com/blog/jay-bilas/insider/post/_/id/225
Now you can dive into the complete details of how “simplicity” is brought to life in a brand new playbook.
Over these 98 pages, you’ll discover exactly why McKillop’s system is an ideal fit for you and your players.
Here’s the breakdown of all 8 sections:
Transition & Motion
Davidson Sets
Baseline Out of Bounds
Sideline Out of Bounds
Davidson 5-Out (This alone is worth the price of the entire playbook!)
Davidson Pressbreaker
Davidson Zone Set
Davidson Zone BLOB
Honestly, with this “hot off the presses” playbook in your back pocket, your player’s basketball IQ will take a huge leap UPWARD…
They will become experts at reading defenses and you’ll understand why Coach McKillop prefers a “teaching” approach above just throwing sets out there.
Of course, you may prefer the opinion of Steph Curry over mine...
https://www.nbcsports.com/bayarea/video/coaching-corps-underdog-stephen-curry-finds-believer-bob-mckillop
But in my humble opinion, this playbook represents the strongest system you could plug into your program...bar none.
And today, you can be the first to get your hands on it.

Here’s that link one more time…

The Villanova Wildcats have long been known for their immaculate spacing, ball movement and Jay Wright’s affinity for “small ball” and four-guard lineups. The Wildcats’ offense ranks 11th in the nation in adjusted offensive efficiency and ‘Nova fans hope it can lead the team all the way to the NCAA Final Four
The Late great innovator Steve Jobs once said: “Simplicity is the ultimate Sophistication.” That perfectly details the Wildcats approach on offense and is a large reason why they were able to shock the world to become NCAA Tournament champions over the loaded North Carolina Tarheels in 2016.
Villanova’s motion-based offense thrives on movement. Villanova coach Jay Wright came up with his version of the motion offense while at Hofstra University when he had problems recruiting quality big men. So, he adapted and used his team’s strength — its guards.
Now at Villanova, Wright wants his players to shoot the ball at will, invoking what he called “playing to your jump shot”
The spacing and balance are easy to see. The Wildcats are almost always beautifully spaced creating a horizontal and vertical stretch of the defense. There are simple rules for spacing and cuts that help Wright’s offense maintain its floor balance throughout the possession.
John Beilein has been called the “guru” of the X’s and O’s.
(I tend to share that opinion.)
After 16 years at the helm, he’s arguably one of the best in the business.
One of the cool things about the Playbook business – plus a little technology – is that we can now get his exact playbook into your hands PRIOR to the game Thursday.
Kinda neat…
And if you’re anything like me...
You like having a little extra insight into how Beilein brings it!
Also, once you grab this book you’ll notice one thing right away…
He keeps it about as simple as it gets.
Even though the playbook come in at 127 pages, it is broken down into only 5 sections:
• Half Court Man Offense
• Half Court Zone Offense
• BLOB’s
• SLOB’s
• Drills
It is beautiful in its simplicity.
I know you’ll enjoy it.
As long as Michigan stays in the tourney, you can own this playbook here.

“Wikipedia” vs “Encyclopedia” [Help me get this new playbook name right…]
NOTE: I do have a brand new playbook I wanted to let you know about, but before we get to that, I had a technical question I need to ask you first...
If I present a digital product to you (like this playbook) can I still call it an “Encyclopedia”?
Or
Am I showing my age whenever I do that?
After all, we know that “Wikipedia” is the online world’s version of the encyclopedia, so is the word “encyclopedia” itself passé?
I’d love to hear your input after you read the information below!
Anywhoo…
(I don’t want to get too off topic, but I want to be sure I’m staying up with the times. ☺ )
Back to the playbook!
You know how excited I get when I get to announce a new playbook.
So here we go! (Insert the sound of trumpets here…and a visual of pigeons being set free)
I now have my hands on a brand new playbook called the “Encyclopedia of Motion Offense”
140 pages long
Breakdown of ALL the sets of motion offense
With 28 pages dedicated to just drills
The Table of Contents goes like this:
Philosophy, Rules, and Organization
Reads After Passing
Screening Situations
Screening Actions
Concepts Versus Teams that Switch
Concepts – Playing off the Post
Secondary Actions
Half Court Sets From Motion Teams
Drills, Drills, Drills…
As the name implies, if it has ANYTHING to do with the Motion Offense, it’s in here!
Now, if you go to Wikipedia, you’ll find a discussion on the motion offense in basketball…history…references…variations…etc.
What you WON’T find is anything like this actual collection!
So…I think you can see the purpose of my original question…
For now, I’m sticking with “Encyclopedia of Motion Offense”
The word still inspires that air of completeness, doesn’t it?
It might be audacious, but in this case, it DEFINITELY works.
See you courtside,
Scott “up with times” Peterman
Yes, give me instant access to the Encyclopedia of Motion Offense!!
As you know by now… the Cavaliers are #1 for the first time since 1982, with Coach Tony Bennett leading the charge.
Let’s see… Only coach to win 16 conference games in consecutive seasons in ACC history. One of three to achieve back-to-back 30-win seasons. 2-time National Coach of the Year.
You get the idea… It’s not a huge surprise to most since Coach Tony Bennett has been regarded as the best defensive coach in college basketball for years, but… Just as important – his motion offense is incredibly efficient.
Well, this week, we’ve broken down his “blocker mover” offense for you, and explained it all in the info-packed 82-page “encyclopedia.”
• Scoring Areas
• Screening Breakdowns
• Half Court Zone Offense
• Post Play
• Drills
• Personnel
And more… It’s all here…
