Coach Larry runs his defensive drills like actual science experiments, and I love that about him.
He puts kids in a constrained drill where the only rule is: shuffle your feet, nothing else. No coaching them on why it's wrong beforehand. Just let them run the experiment and discover for themselves that pure shuffling can't cover enough ground.
That's Newton's laws, momentum, and energy transfer showing up on a basketball court. Coach Larry is a science teacher first, and it shows in how he builds footwork development. Instead of telling players "this is wrong," he lets the physics prove it to them.
This is exactly why the game evolved past traditional step slides. The mechanics simply don't lie. #shorts
