Inside the Episode
Dennis Gates has Missouri off to a 6-0 start in his first year as the Head Coach of the Tigers, and we were happy to have him join us to discuss a number of valuable topics when it comes to building an offense, relationships, and a program. This week we dove into:
- Princeton with Pace: Coach Gates has run his own style of the Princeton Offense for years, and we dove into how Coach Gates prefers to teach “pace” within the offense. This was a 30 minute segment in which we covered philosophy, teaching points, and the unique advantages that the Princeton Offense can provide.
- Seeking True Mentors: Coach Gates was fantastic speaking about how he sought out coaches to help mentor and be invested in his success as a young coach. Some valuable insights on building true relationships in the coaching business.
- Practice Drill Constraints: During “Start, Sub, or Sit?!” we discussed various ways that Coach Gates will use constraints in drills to help drive home teaching points and areas of emphasis.
