"If you are interested in Coaching the System, you must be either
desperate or crazy " At least that's what people told authors Gary
Smith and Doug Porter when they began investigating this
revolutionary style of play almost a decade ago. Ignoring the
critics, they went on to coach the two highest scoring teams in
men's and women's college basketball history: the University of
Redlands, California (132.4 ppg), and Olivet Nazarene University in
Illinois (104.1 ppg). From its origins as the Sonny Allen Numbered
Fast Break, to Paul Westhead's Loyola Marymount up-tempo game, the
System has been around for decades. But when Grinnell College's
David Arseneault added platoon substitution patterns and
hockey-style short shifts, placing a priority on creating
three-point looks for his "preferred shooters," the System truly
came into its own. Smith and Porter learned the Grinnell version of
the System from Arseneault himself, adapting it to fit their
situations coaching men's and women's programs. In the past decade
their teams set 32 NCAA and NAIA records between them, including
most 100-point games in a season (Redlands-23; Olivet-24). Olivet
also holds national records for defensive turnovers (36.3 per game)
assists (23.8 per game), and three pointers made in a season (509,
15.6 per game). Redlands owns college basketball records (all
levels) for field goal attempts (110.3 per game), and
three-pointers made (23.8 per game). Now you can learn every detail
of this devastating full court run-and-press attack that allows you
to dictate tempo and force your opponents out of their normal game
plan, capturing the imagination of your players and community, and
making coaching fun again You'll learn exactly how and why the
System works, how to adapt it to fit your personnel, suggestions
for conditioning players, organizing System practices, and even
ways to respond to the inevitable criticisms that come with playing
the game this far "outside the box." Other chapters offer complete
descriptions of the Redlands Attack (Coach Smith's variation of the
Grinnell offense), the LMU Attack (which Westhead popularized and
used to advance to the NCAA regional finals in 1990), and the
Olivet Attack (Coach Porter's hybrid version of the LMU and
Dribble-Drive offenses). Finally, you'll learn System defensive
principles, terminology, and how to cover every conceivable press
attack and press-breaker alignment. Also included are 57 drills and
over 300 diagrams to illustrate System offense and defense,
providing you with a complete blueprint for "Coaching the System "
