I know this is about basketball, and someone who follows Memphis might assert that this is all about their talent, but I enjoyed this article, particularly as it focused on Vance Walberg.
The other insight here was how what makes this offense tick - which is very applicable to different football approaches - is when the coach melds his entire practice regimen to what they do in games. Reminded me in this way of good defensive coaches and even the Airraid guys.

The Larry Brown quote is money: His drills are all building blocks to his offense and defense, which is the key to coaching. |

I've been trying to convince a friend using the Piedmont style to copy the motion offense after bunching his receivers upfield release.
This plays to that same concept but does it with more spacing used to the frontside, which makes the most sense because a defense has to commit in space and show their hand. This might be what he needs to see as a way of creating throwing and running lanes and still getting high tempo looks in creases of the coverage.

One of the foremost National experts on this subject is Herb Welling from Omaha. HE has developed a DVD on this offense here is the article: www.omaha.com/index.php?u_page=1200&u_sid=10303196Herb is a volunteer assistant at Central High School, defending state champions. How I know Herb is he coached several of my Screaming Eagle basketball teams. In all the years he coached for us, never had a team finish worse than 2nd place. If he had an education ( He cant/wont go that route) he would be coaching at the Collegiate level. Many coaches come to Herb if they are having problems teaching a kid X. He is up every morning on Saturdays running several youth teams every season to go along with his HS gig. |

dave,
They talk about Herb in the article and provide directions to the DVDs. In fact, that discussion occupies much of the last three pages of the article - the fact that someone else has started pumping out instructional materials on what they do.

Dont under estimate HErb which is VERY easy to do on sight. Actually that pic shows him better shaved than when I usually see him. Read the Omaha article, Coach K knows him, Bobby KNight knows knows him, Pro Guys know him, AAU coaches know him, many of the top coaches in the country know him, Michael Jordan knows him etc etc A security guard volunteer Asst HS basketball coach and head youth basketball coach.
Bring a kid to him and he can break down and teach him about anything, his youth teams are just incredible to watch. The way they pass, move the ball, play defense, they look like little KUs out there.
According to the OWH article this Video company was going to do something on this offense, when MSU declined to do it, the video company made a bunch of calls. Herb Wellings name kept coming up?? He knows his stuff and now others have a chance to learn this system. The guy is some kind of gym rat savant when it comes to this stuff. He packs up his RV every summer and all he does is go to and teach basketball camps when hes not taking some of his youth teams all over the country.
The best kids around here beg to be on his teams, no joke.

Random thoughts after reading the article:
1. If you have something truly innovative you invented , as soon as more than a few
other guys have it make the DVDs. If somebody's going to make the money if may as well
be you.
2. To me this is evidence that Tony Franklin was right when he, in effect, trademarked his
system.
3. If you believe that your system truly gives you a competetive advantage and want to
keep that advantage then only share it with a few people who you know well and trust
completely.
4. If you want tough, hard-working kids be careful about taking a job at Peppardine or
somewhere like that. You're probably not getting gym rats "on the beautiful shores of
Malibu.
5. When a college player's dad know that the coach called his son, a 19-20-21 year old young
man, a pu$$y, and complains to the AD it proves.......
6. If you're a candidate to replace the coach in the afore-mentioned scenario don't take the
job.
