Igor Milicic on Evaluating Role Players, Hedging Ballscreens, and Calculated Risks {Slam Stal Ostrow}

Inside the Episode: Igor Milicic

Coach Igor Milicic led his club, Slam Stal Ostrow, to a championship this year in Poland’s Top Professional League, the PLK, and we were fortunate to sit down with him this week in our newest podcast to pick his brain on a variety of topics. Coach Milicic is well-known for his creativity on both ends of the floor and used a mixture of zone and man defenses to lead his club to the title this season. In our conversation we cover:

  • Evaluating Key Role Players
    • How to find, evaluate, and train key “rotation” players
  • “Hedge and Under” PNR Defense
  • “Start, Sub, or Sit?!”
    • End of Game Trapping, Isolation Spots, and Half-Time Stats
  • Off-Season Thoughts
    • The things he’ll keep going into next season, and the things he’ll cut
