Louisville coach Rick Pitino applauds his team during the second half of their basketball game against Morehead State in Louisville, Ky., Wednesday, Dec. 26, 2007.  Louisville won the game 73-49.

Jerry Smith let the shot go and held his right hand up in the air for an extra second, the Louisville guard’s signature move when he’s feeling it.

Brenda Frese: Dynamic Quick Hitters

with Brenda Frese,
University of Maryland Head Women’s Basketball Coach;
2006 National Champions

Quick hitters allow specific shots to be created for the best scorers on the floor. Coach Frese shows you how to have more control on which players are given the best opportunities to score. Frese begins with the “Hometown” play, which has been in her arsenal for years. Frese also shares five unique quick hitters from the same box alignment. Plays from the box set are advantageous because they can counter scouting by the opponent. These plays can be adapted to your player’s size, hand preference and ability. A consideration is to prepare for double teams when your team executes an on ball screen. The variety of plays include: cross screen, diagonal screen, isolation, X screen and up screen. “Three hit” is a quick hitter to create an open three by using the flare screen. Another favorite series comes from the 1-4 flat alignment. This series present many different scoring options by different players and can be adapted to your lineup. Other sets demonstrated are the guard interference series, four-out series, post player hits, and the five-out series.

73 minutes. 2007.
