Tara VanDerveer: Stanford’s Triangle Offense

with Tara VanDerveer,
Stanford University Head Women’s Basketball Coach;
2X NCAA Championship Coach, 3X NCAA Coach of the Year; 1996 US Women’s Olympic Team Head Coach (Gold Medal); Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame (2002)

In a storied 26-year coaching career, Tara VanDerveer has established herself as one of the top coaches in the history of both collegiate and international women’s basketball. In this on-court demonstration, she presents the Triangle offense in a whole-part-whole manner. She shows the entire offense and explains each position, breaks it down through explanation and drills, and then adds defense to show the whole offense against defense. The benefits of this offense is that it is hard to guard, fun to coach, players enjoy it, takes advantage of one-on-one match-ups, has a lot of options, it fits with an up-tempo style of play and is flexible because all positions are interchangeable. Coach VanDerveer stresses that the triangle is a very teachable offense that combines continuity with structure. Keys to the triangle offense are passing and spacing. To accelerate the learning curve for the offense, she uses a 4-on-0 half-court drill. Players execute the triangle and score, and on the following possession, players move to the next position. One becomes the two, two becomes the three, etc. The drill is run on both ends so players rotate from one end to the other. This drill is essential for developing interchangeable positions on the floor. By rotating positions on the move, players are forced to execute and think on their feet. VanDerveer constantly stresses the importance of little things like squaring up, passing away from the defense, getting open and spacing. To make this drill competitive VanDerveer lets the offense keep the ball as long as they score against the defense. Against pressure defense, the “forward blast” creates an open back door cut and lay-up. The dribble hand-off is a weapon in this offense because it is so difficult to defend. This DVD will allow any coach the opportunity to learn the triangle’s secrets and strengths by sharing the breakdown drills run by the Cardinal women. The triangle can yield amazing results because of its spacing, diversity and flexibility. From the Chicago Bulls to Stanford to the middle school level, the triangle has proven to be one of basketball’s best offenses.

Utah’s Brown Thrilled By Chance

Phil Miller of THE SALT LAKE TRIBUNE writes, "It was a night Dee Brown will never forget. He missed every shot he took, all five of them. The guy he was assigned to guard scored 33 points and nearly won the game. No wonder the Jazz rookie felt so strongly when he was removed from the Jazz’s 109-107 win over Seattle."

NFL Week Fifteen, Update #1

kyleboller.JPGPittsburgh 17, Carolina 0. The Steelers have picked a pretty good time to start playing decent football. They’re all over the Panthers right now, taking a 17-3 lead into the half. Willie Parker has 72 yards rushing, Ben Roethlisberger has a rushing touchdown, and the Panthers have been held to 8 yards rushing on 5 carries.

Patriots 27, Texans 0. Tom Brady’s taking the Bridget Moynahan break-up pretty hard, throwing for two touchdowns in the first half against the Texans. The lone bright spot for the Texans has been Ron Dayne, and… that’s just not a sentence you ever want to hear. David Carr, who I’m beginning to think isn’t a franchise quarterback, is 6-of-13 for 59 yards and 2 touchdowns at the moment.

Ravens 17, Browns 10. Steve McNair has some kind of a hand injury, but it doesn’t matter to the Ravens. You know, why? Because they still had Kyle Boller. Thank goodness the Ravens were able to resist trading him to one of the legions of teams that wanted to acquire him in a trade. The two or three 1st round draft picks they could’ve gotten were tempting, but they showed restraint. He’s 6-of-9 for 73 yards, a touchdown, and an interception.

Rafael Araujo Is Deluded

I rsquo m going to be honest and make this admission before we start Despite having family and other acquaintances up there I rsquo ve never taken the time to visit the city of Toronto. As such I rsquo m just going to have to assume that the general population of T-Dot and the rest of the Golden Horseshoe isn rsquo t slower than Greg Ostertag in lead sneakers. If this is a fair assumption and the fact that the city rsquo s still intact shows that it is then I rsquo m going to have to …
