Who is Behind this Course?

My name is Quinn McDowell, thanks for checking out Mastering the Princeton Course! Here are a few details about how I came to create this course.

My experience playing in the Princeton style offense for 4 years at the Division 1 level (at the College of William and Mary) helped a below average athlete score over 1600 points and shoot 40% from three while leading our team to one of the best season in school history.
I continued to study these offensive concepts as a professional in my four years playing overseas in Australia, Spain, Latvia, and the NBA G-League.
As a current NCAA Division 1 Men's Basketball Coach (Lehigh University) I've refined these concepts to build a lethal offensive system that will take your team's scoring to the next level.
The Princeton System changed the course of my career forever and it can do the same for you and your team. I continue to write about the Princeton Offense (and much more) on my personal website aretehoops.com

This is the best resource for learning the Princeton Offense on the internet!!!

Coach Rob

Amazing!!! Quinn breaks down the Princeton Offense in a way that is easy to understand and implement. I can already see so many different ways this will help make our offense more dynamic. Highly recommended to any serious coach who wants to help their team improve.

There is an abundance of information within this course. Having the whiteboard sessions before the live clips eases the application process of the information. Good content!

Liam Openshaw

If you are wanting to input the Princeton offense (or even parts of it) this is the place to start. I wish I had come across this before spending time/money elsewhere. This is the one-stop place for Princeton install, terminology, practice, whiteboard sessions, game footage and in my opinion is the only course you will need. There are other courses out there that will give you bits and pieces, but this is the only course I have found that offers EVERYTHING you need, especially if starting from scratch.

Good course. Explained actions pretty good and gave some breakdown drills to use to implement the offense. Liked the film breakdowns and still breakdowns also.

Well worth it.

I really got a lot from the course. Great break down of the building blocks. Definitely helped me learn more about the Princeton offense. I like that there was video, chalk talk and drills that brought it all together.

Hunter Nies

Great detail and explanation. Love how it breaks down each section and includes ways to implement them into practice.

Dustin Battas

Coach McDowell does a great job teaching, explaining and showing the Princeton offense so that you can implement all of it or parts of it that fit your team/personnel. I have viewed many Princeton breakdowns over the years and this is one of the very best. I highly recommend it!
