Building a Player the (Jay) Wright Way

By Brian Williams on April 3, 2013

Building a Player the (Jay) Wright Way

I received these notes from Coach Steve Smiley from a clinic given by Jay Wright. If you would like to download all of the notes, click here: Basketball Workout

At Villanova, spring and summer are committed to individual development.

These are the five areas for individual development: Shooting, passing, dribbling, footwork, defense.

Fall and winter are about team development:

“You have to believe that the work we do with you is going to make you the best player you can be.”

45 minutes of technique shooting every morning at 7:00

After a Saturday game, the next day, the 5 guys who played the most do a technique shooting workout. The other 8 players do an off-season skills workout.

Try to get technique as close to perfect as possible

Coach passes to wing

• Defender closes out
• Offense is low, ready to catch, and shoot
• If the offense cannot get a shot off in rhythm, they fake dribble shoot
• Weak side offense and defense go for rebound
