The following are notes from Morgan Wootten's Basketball Camp around 2005...these were given to Joe Wootten from Kevin Eastman (Boston Celtics Assistant Coach) and passed on to the camp staff:
1) Basketball is a game of inches (John Stockton; slow, but sure)- Attack ankles/Attack hips, etc.
2) Pound dribble for better handle on the basketball
3) Play the game low to high (on screens: cutter's shoulders should be at screener's hips. Quite a bit happens away from the ball so shooters, be ready on the catch to go up into your shot without hesitation)
4) It's a shoulders game (Posting up and defense)
5) Shoulder- Hip through contact
6) Feet first, ball second (go by- not around)
7) Find your feet on shots (if you have to look down to find yourself on the floor, don't shoot it!)
8) Use your eyes more: when setting screens, see back of defense's head, "eye" the game in setting yourself up in a scoring position)
9) Be ready for the next play
