Chris Oliver- Basketball Decision Training

03/07/22 • 42 min

Chris Oliver is the founder of the website Basketballimmersion.com which in my opinion is one of the best resources out there for coaching development. Chris has a wealth of knowledge especially when it comes to developing a modern approach to basketball. We discuss topics such as: - How Chris first got involved in the "non traditional" approach to coaching basketball.

Why decision making is the most important part of basketball skill development.

Modern basketball concepts such as "2 Side Transition" and the 32 Match up Zone.
