He strikes me as one of those coaches who strikes people.
LOL
+memetherapy imagine bobby knight coaching in his heyday
he was a bit edgy, hey made some interesting points thou
imo what hes teaching is good but hes acting like its the only way.
i respect his opinion though
+IIPointmanII Seems fair, I agree too he does make some great points though so I'll give him that.
These tend to be the best coaches
He mentioned the Kemba Game winner yet hates crossovers outside the frame. There are so many different scenarios in a basketball game where players need to cross over differently or do a normal drag step instead of an inverted drag every time to open up. It is great to be open as well but watch a basketball game and see how players can adjust from closed to open frames through half spins and inside hand finishes. Etc etc. I can go on and on but the point is to learn every way to do everything to be prepared for all situations.
sup ryan
This is the type of coach that makes you scared to go to practice
Lmao too true!
right...
lol.... true. felt bad for the kid. they should've went over his drills before recording. hehhe
tongankiddd I'm sure it was an honor for the kid to be on ***** awesome channel.
+Joseph Bishop I don't think anybody in the comment section disagrees with you. .... Coach Nick is the man, everybody is hating on Coach Jones, you know. ..the old man in the video who is teaching old school dribbling concepts while wearing sandles. Are you in?
Coach got roasted by the other coach
+*PORTLAND TRAILBLAZERS 2016-17 CHAMPS!!!* #SeeRed #DOLLA coach was dominated lol
Random what
This coach is brutal lmao
which is kinda good because if the coach ain't gonna be brutal well trainees or rookie's wouldn't listen
dude out of breath like he's the one doin the drills!
lol peeped that
+ampecsu haha, he's obviously a high energy guy. His pedometer during this video probably reads 5x the player and Coach Nick combined.
Bruh, his shoes cracks me up
I feel like this guy teaches really old school basketball. He needs to understand that the game has changed and that all these "must" and "have to" moves are ridiculous by today's standards. Sure his methods work as do most coaches but whether or not he should be drilling it into these players minds ain't right. There is a million different ways to play the sport, if he isn't struggling with his dribbling, then leave it. All of today's point guards do crossover then blow by e.g Irving, Curry, Lillard etc. Personally I feel that the explosive crossover should be used to leave a defender in the dust as most people do, but to say that a softer or slower crossover isn't any good is mad. A lot of players use the step back and between the legs to give them a clear look and time to view the court as these moves give the defender the feeling that something's coming and so he will give you that space.
P.S All is opinion, any negativity will be ignored.
well usually its harder to create your own shot off the dribble. Admittedly coach is alittle old school but old school works just as well as the new age of basketball. but i guess old school basketball has some good fundementals to it
I get that old school works but i feel like he's making it sound like new basketball doesn't. Old school set the fundamentals like you said, but as the sport gets more popular then fundamentals can only take you so far. He seems like a real life Uncle Drew from the Kyrie skits.
Rowan Aldean lol your right. Well i guess you can say that but lets nit forget how far Tim Duncan has got with his "fundementals". Then again even he probably adapted to the new style of play as well :D
+Rowan Aldean For every coach teaching how to dribble, there's a coach teaching how to defend the dribble. The game is evolving.
+Rowan Aldean What's oldschool about what he's teaching? It's just great principles and fundamentals. He wants you to cover ground with the crossover, not just stay there and1-ing the ball to no effect.
The old guy: WHAT ARE THOOOOOOOOOOOOSE!!!!!
THE EXPLODE AND BACK UP MOVE IS SICK! I USED IT IN A 1 ON 1 AND MY OPPONENT GOT CRUSHED THREE TIMES IN A ROW....DAMN I THOUGH THIS OLD MAN WAS CRAZY BUT WHEN I USED IT I GOT OPEN JUMPERS AND DRIVES TO THE HOOP AND MAH OPPONENT GOT NOTHIN ON ME DAMN
If you're in a situation where you have to play closed, a spin/fake spin option is a good way to keep your defender guessing.
Classic episode. Classic personalities.Great insight. Even good for a few laughs. I'm all in!
Awesome aawesome stuff. Definitely something I will be implementing to my game and in my coaching
I love the old fashioned coach!!! that's what makes the players good!!! discipline!!! please feature more knowledge from the old school coach! fundamentals are king!!! thanks for what you guys do!!!!
Great breakdown. That backup dribble is useful especially against zone defenses.
damn 10:38 "GET MORE UPRIGHT"!!! the dude wasn't even crouching. he wants him to stand straight up like a pole lol
so many levels to the interaction, and the closing line: hilarious
im a sactown fan thats why i really like rondo videos from your channel +bballbreakdow
Nice work Coach Nick.
You tell em COACH! Excellent breakdown.
Thanks coach a really helpful video. Are you planning to do a video about warriors vs pistons?
Thanks for posting this! Fundamentals are timeless. And this coach's efficiency breakdown is on point. Blessings
I love a coach who teaches his philosophy like it's the only way. Only when you implement and execute something exactly and precisely can you then find out if it is right or wrong. Good players often don't understand attention to detail. They don't have to. They rely on talent. When a coach has attention to detail at least you know he's not relying on player ability for success.
I like the idea of controlling the spacing between the defender; gives you more room to work with and leaves them guessing. Good stuff
BALLIN!!! aye jim jones
very interesting thanks, coach. Watching this i feel like a good example of a NBA PG who did a lot of closed dribbling is mark jackson. I think Magic Johnson a little bit too but he wouldn't stay in it for a long time like mark jackson would. But i don't see NBA point guards doing that very much at all nowadays, although i do remember being taught this in many basketball camps as a kid.
Awesome!
Good video. thank you.
Excellent point about having space when using the crossover. I think players that use cones as markers for doing crossovers / other moves learn to use those moves in space that is too tight thus making the moves ineffective and prone to turnovers. I've also wondered why we tell kids to "get low" when dribbling. Never felt natural to me.
Love drills
I only have 1 word to describe this video, awesome!
Awesome! 💪🏀👍
So true he's old school you gotta evolve with the game
It reminds me of the kick slide for pass protection in football when backing up with the dribble. Not exactly the same, but similar.
this was a great one
Thanks! Love this philosophy and skill.
That “chasing the ball' concept is good！
fantastic stuff coach
Thanks. Very important stuff.
great video very informative stuff
Thanks! #ImIn
So this is what it feels like to be early...
Welcome.
+BBALLBREAKDOWN
Coach please do this sorts of vids:
How can we get away from a foul
Balance workout
Improve anticipation
How to steal a crossover dribble
How to stop a crossover dribble
How to see through crossover
How to properly land from a jump
How to strengthen your knees
Thanks in advance from an avid subscriber! :)
This trainer really sells his teaching method. All I see is using momentum of a planted foot, using the force forward or backward and then using a hesitation. All fundamental
Coach Nick that beard you rockin lookin swagger
Coach can you please make a video how to stop/steal a crossover
June 4th .. my birthday 😱 Damn cool
u have to to do a vid on cavs s warriors
The way he teaches the crossover is how you get ripped. He wants you to dribble high up, keep the ball out in front of you, and cover ground. If the defender just puts his off hand up a little bit and in front, he's gonna poke that ball lose every time.
Lucas Carman use your footwork to get the defender thinking too much, then cross fast, cover ground, and be atleast beside the defender before the next dribble. Works for me atleast
IMHO Kyrie & Steph Curry has the sickest crossovers today and when they are going between multiple defenders they often dribble the ball low, sometimes behind the back and a subtle head & shoulder fake to really sell it. Anyway, I'm not a pro so I dunno.
They do that for sure, but they also play open, almost never turning their back
+BBALLBREAKDOWN I see, I've watched some of their highlights and they do play open just to blow past their defender. But when they're in almost at the shaded lane usually the defense collapse on them that's when they dribble low, behind the back, turnaround and between the legs. That kind of proficiency takes years of practice.
+Red Hood You need to dribble low in order to change directions quickly. Plus it becomes harder to steal. Dribbling high is for running at high speeds where you don't need to make multiple quick or significant lateral movements. I haven't watched much of Kyrie, but Curry especially dribbles low and very quickly because he's simply looking to create an imbalance in the defender. Since he shoots it so quickly he doesn't really even need to create any space if he gets his defender leaning the wrong way. And since he is such a great shooter he can use that threat to also get his defenders off balance and create very easy drives for himself. Curry is never blowing by guys based on speed and power alone, so I think it's actually optimal that he has a lot of side to side moves.
+travz21 I agree, great insights very helpful! I'm not an expert so I still need to practice A LOT, them pros make it look soo easy.
he's a tough coach but he seems like he can develop a team really well, tough love, seems like they'll be more relaxed in games than in practice
that was sick
smoothe goateeeee gj Coach!
Haha, don't have it anymore 😢
the instructor shoes is clean@2:47😂
I cant understand why protecting the basketball using your body is something that you should "never" do. I mean michael jordon and magic, isiah thomas kept their bodies between the ball and the defender, even harden
This move works well with longer players and when you have plenty of room to work with. Good luck making this effective if you have shorter arms with smaller strides and playing 4 on 4 or 5 on 5.
This was probably the best dribbling video I've seen. I've been coaching basketball for 20 years and I was quite impressed. What Jim Jones says makes a lot of sense.
I cant find the Culver high school location to register my son could you please help me out.
I like his basic ideas but didn't Nash and Magic play a lot with back turned or turned to the side?
+bballbreakdown i like ur sacramento kings videos
Cool. I've got an on court demo with Coach Walberg coming up!
I think living by only this rule with the dribble is limiting your options. Being open and chasing is fine, but using your body to protect the ball, or dribbling behind your hip as your survey the court as a PG is beneficial. Breaking down a defender as you keep the ball loose is beneficial at times as well. I agree that players often telegraph with the dribble before the move and you can be diverse with the ball out front, but you're susceptible to aggressive defenders. Dribbling to the side and using a behind the back dribble to change direction is fine as well.
+The Rose Experience Also, that crossover isn't to beat someone as much as to gain space and re-assess. Likewise with the later retreat dribble, which is open to a steal if you don't protect properly or if the defender isn't respecting your space. Not every defender is jumping back off an aggressive attack, many absorb the attack even with the body and use the hands. Now if on the retreat he's still there, you need to go again to get space or beat them.
5:18 get over there! lmao.. I like this coach though
This is a good move but really only works to get a step back jumper when facing a defender that's squared up with you.. Using this and attacking a lead foot vs a defender trying to guide u will break his cushion and force him to gamble to make up for the separation
You've gotta see it live. Defense becomes shell shocked, has no idea if and when you're gonna blow by. Guaranteed separation.
Please use caution and a gentle touch when handling your balls. Good video 👍
More great advice!
I want to see someone beat kawhi with this technique
Hey coach, are you a football fan? If so could you start doing football breakdowns? I think it would be a great series
I THINK FOOTBALL SHOULD BE BANNED.
Lol why do you hate football
I was surprised the kid didn't start saying "yessuh, yes massah." geez
I like how my mans was Movin with the ball
"That's the shot that will make you some money". lol, The dribble reminds me a lot of Tony Parker and a little of the crossover exhibition MJ23 did on a helpless Larry Bird.
+MrYoumitube no need to add the 23 would've just be fine calling him MJ ^^
+Slim Charles maybe he's trying to not confuse with Laker great, MJ32. ;)
+Galactu5 lol.. or maybe Michael Jackson
Haha, Coach Jim's intense. Damn.
Can u do a video on how the Detroit Pistons beat the GS Warriors by 18 pts with curry scoring 38? Like as a Pistons fan im like surprised it even happened.
guy is intense
Coach Nick, can you cover how the Sacramento Kings ended the clippers 10 game win streak.
What are those
Video starts at 0:39
His crossover technique isn't used often by any of the best ball handlers in the league... 😤
thats good stuff, i have a bad habbit and dribble sideways to defend the ball. I blame myself for having bad stamina and just naturally go in that position lol. By the way, have you guys ever join a team? Thats how a lot of coaches are, especially football.
Awesome, Thx!
Sick. Maybe it's the player, maybe it's the move, but I wouldn't want to guard that.
Neither would I. When u see it live, defender gets shell shocked...
I like the way he calls it a "dee-fender"
1:24
You Better Believe It
This just boosted my basketball IQ.
Tell me why he wore on sandals to make a basketball instructional video
I'm in Australia :(
I think it's really important to only dribble open if you're fast, if you're slow, and the d comes up on you, f you're too slow you couldn't get past and they steal the ball.
I would argue there are many guys in the nba that play "closed", dellavedova comes to ming
Yeah and Delly handles are trash that's why he has to dribble like that
Yes. Old school: Oscar Robertson.
Magic Johnson too
I LIKE TURTLES . COACH HAD YOU ACCEPTED MY CHALLENGE FOR LAKERS' 15 WINS ,YOU STILL WOULDN'T HAVE SHAVED XD
Haha. True.
Love your vids man,keep on making them!!! If you can make some throwback analysis of games soon whenever you can would be a dream come true :D
Dude. The crossover going high-low is very situational, and makes it easier for the defense to steal the ball. A good crossover should dribble the ball as low as possible.
Nonsense.
Why is it nonsense? The low dribble makes it hard for the D to reach to the ball. The high dribble makes it easy for the D to poke it away.
If u play defense to steal a ball, u will get teached after u reached
Milan de Rooy Well, if your crossover is low enough, it will. But if you do a high crossover, defense doesn't even need to be trying to steal it. They'll just poke it clean off if they have quick hands.
he lost me when he said getting low when dribbling takes away your explosiveness.
+Shabazz X Yeah, that was dumb. Everything else was right though. Whether you're sprinting or squatting heavy weight, you're generating the most power in a low position.
+Shabazz X . to my knowledge of this subject there are ppl who are trained like this coach where they don't have to get low for such explosiveness so like tennis players for example. they're real explosive and they don't have to stay really low to the floor but in basketball there's another way and i feel like that's what kyrie does where he gets really low and he takes these really sharp angles with his leg and pushes off with his thigh muscle more but then u have westbrook who can be standing upright with a slight bend but will explode faster than any other player. i wouldn't say u lose explosiveness, it's a different way of using it. this is just based on what i've seen so maybe someone out there knows exactly how it works and can explain better but i feel like the westbrook and kyrie example is pretty good. westbrook in my opinion is more explosive. = D
Depends on how low your "low" is. Too much pelvic tilt and you aren't getting up higher or faster plus it takes more effort to get your body up and extended. I also notice guys who play too low start to arch their back when they get fatigued

You have more athleticism in a low stance rather than an upright stance, to my knowledge
I'm gonna be exploding tonight!
Wouldn't mind having him as a coach tbh
A young Bobby Knight
What are thooooose!
God inspiration👍
Interesting approach but this concept/move is situational to the ability of the ball handler. Btw Coach Jones looks like Jerry Stiller lol
Well, that's why players need to work on it. And he does! Serenity Now!
Idk man a lot of the guards with good handles dribble the ball low. Steph, Rubio, Rondo, Lawson (nuggets days), Kyrie, Harden. The only guy I can think of with a really solid handle that keeps the ball high is LBJ, but then again he averages almost 3 turnovers a game for his career so……
Brandon Standifer LBG is amazing at many things. ball handling isn't one of them.
Good skill for playmakers. Especially if your defender pressures you up high.
But there are times you have to dip your shoulder to beat people off the dribble.
The backing up guard came from the days of early side pick and roll offenses. You see stockton do that a lot.
Recently watched oscar robertson in a whole game vs just the highlights. No offense to him and he was great in his time but ball control dribbling has evolved since his yo-yo style dribble technique
Yes! And Jim mentioned that too, briefly. Once you get advantage, it's important to then get back in upright position to see the floor.
Crouching down takes away your explosiveness? Remind me of any time a sprinter started a race standing upright lol this guy is totally off with that one. Any point guard in the nba or college who tried to dribble standing straight up would get ripped on every possession and be less explosive
Wrong, watch the best guards. They're not bent over. Watch Scottie Pippen when he played defense. As explosive as they come.
Damn imagine messing up and getting yelled by him😂😂☠️
coach nick from the darkest timeline. #community
Why do I feel so uncomfortable watching this old white dude shout orders at this young black kid?
nevertheless, good advice.
+FrankoiNHD I hear ya, just my immediate feelings. It's been awhile since I've been in training for different physical goals and tend to forget the motivators tend to yell orders. Personally, never been moved by that type of instruction.
+Joseph Bishop I agree but I am going to give him the benefit of the doubt since I don't know him personally. It would have been nice if he used the kid's name at least. Great thoughts from coach though.
no basketballs were hurt in the making of this video
#Truth
On the video it says 3-4 but on the description it says 4-5 some kids will reeaaaally get confused
There were some great tips here but there was no need to be so disrespectful to Coach Nick
