RBCN specializes in Blocker/Mover Offense. That's not to say we don't consult with coaches who want to learn about other types of offenses, because we do. However, Coach Sheridan is a Blocker/Mover specialist. We received a question via our newsletter regarding how to teach cutting & screening fundamentals. The "Bennett Drill'' is a multidimensional drill with several different progressions. Coach Sheridan breaks down the first couple of layers to the "Bennett Drill'' in this short instructional video.

Episode 5 of the RBCN Coaches’ Show was great! Coach Wayne Brooks covered how he taught his players to defend sideline out-of-bounds & baseline out-of-bounds plays. Coach has a hard-nosed & simple approach to these special situations. Coach covers his “First man, arm, & leg” defensive philosophy in great detail. Additionally, Coach Brooks covered his thoughts on Pack-Line defense, how to wage a comeback when utilizing the Pack-Line, practice planning, the best day of the week to teach set plays, and when the best time to cover special situations are. This 60-minute presentation is well worth the watch/listen for anyone who strives to become a better teacher of our game.

I was searching for a good game to watch & not having any luck. As soon as I accessed ESPN+ & noticed North Dakota State was about to play Eastern Washington, I was enticed. Two teams who I don't have an opportunity to watch - I'm in. It didn't take long for me to hit the record button, as Eastern Washington is extremely well coached, play a hard nosed brand of basketball, & are as fundamentally sound as any team I've watched in a long time. Needless to say, EWU has just picked up a new fan. -Conference: Big Sky -Head Coach: David Riley -Next Game: 1/18/24 at Weber State -Website: https://goeags.com/sports/mens-basketball/schedule
