Ken Pomeroy and Jordan Sperber on Analytical Tradeoffs, Fouling Up 3?, and the Nuances of Shot Selection Metrics Oct 31, 2025

In this episode, Slappin’ Glass isjoined by Ken Pomeroy and Jordan Sperber, creators of the course Basketball Analytics for Coaches. They dive into how data can sharpen decision-making, refine strategy, and help coaches think more clearly about how they play and teach the game.

🧠 What You’ll Learn:

1. Rethinking Pace
Why pace isn’t just about speed — it’s about possession quality and efficiency. Learn how teams like UConn and Alabama succeed with drastically different tempos, and why coaches should focus on avoiding late-clock possessions instead of simply playing faster.

2. Offense, Defense, and What Really Wins
Is “defense wins championships” still true? Ken and Jordan explain why elite offense has become slightly more predictive of winning in today’s spacing-heavy game and the connection between pace and defensive quality.

3. The Real Story Behind Shot Selection
Discover why the best teams don’t always take the “best” shots — and how marginal gains, like trading a few long twos for threes or cutting out floaters, can create meaningful offensive improvement without overhauling your roster.

4. Using Analytics in Late-Game Decisions
From quick two vs. three, to foul or defend up three, to playing stars in foul trouble — learn how data can help coaches define their philosophy ahead of emotional, high-pressure moments.

5. What Stats Actually Matter
Ken and Jordan reveal which numbers predict success: two-point percentage and shot selection stability — not three-point streaks or halftime box scores. Coaches will learn what to track, what to ignore, and how to use numbers to reinforce team values.

🏀 Key Takeaway:

Analytics isn’t about replacing instincts — it’s about creating a framework to think better. Whether it’s pace, shot selection, or in-game strategy, data helps you coach with clarity and confidence.

Matt Wise on Creativity, Defense as Science, and the “Blue Zone” {Samford} Oct 17, 2025

Samford women’s basketball head coach Matt Wise joins Slappin’ Glass to dig into creative problem-solving in coaching, why clarity must precede accountability, and how he recruits around an “IT Factor” of Intelligence + Toughness. Wise shares the frameworks he uses to build confident decision-makers—on the court and between the ears—from ball-screen pedagogy and vocabulary design to mental-state training (green/blue/red) that helps players arrive amped but focused. The conversation hits next-play tools (external communication > self-talk > breath work), defensive non-negotiables (positioning as “science,” offense as “jazz”), and a recruiting rubric that sorts prospects into spicy / medium / mild to focus resources. He also explains how to teach reads (anchoring screens, contact over, tags and lifts), why he’ll live with aggressive fouls but not undisciplined ones, and how cultural language (Ubuntu, Mudita) and a shared glossary create stickiness across the program.

Highlights / Takeaways

Creativity = problem-solving: Be an “idea merchant”—steal widely, connect dots, and sharpen the axe before swinging.
Recruiting filter: “IT Factor” (Intelligence + Toughness) plus role skills, then allocate effort via spicy / medium / mild tiers.
Ball-screen pedagogy: Teach reads in layers—angles, contact point, guard “anchoring,” and coverage counters—before adding sides and randomness.
Vocabulary → accountability: Shared definitions for basketball and culture (e.g., Ubuntu, Mudita); “clear is kind” guides feedback.
Mental performance zones: Train athletes to compete in the blue zone—not flat (green) or flooded (red)—using tools like journaling, music, and breath work.
Defense as science: Hard rules on positioning (weak-side “Hulk”), embrace aggressive fouls born from sound positioning; avoid bailout and late-recovery fouls.
Next-play stack: Start with external communication, sub self-talk, sit breath work (in-game constraints).

Creativity with guardrails—Wise shows how clear language, layered teaching, and mental-zone training turn confidence into consistent decision-making.

Dr. Sarah Sarkis on Metabolizing Stress, Friction and Flow States, and the Levers of Motivation Oct 10, 2025

This week, we dive deep into the psychology and physiology of high performance with executive coach and psychologist Dr. Sarah Sarkis, whose work spans elite performers in both sport and business.

In this highly insightful conversation, Dr. Sarkis breaks down how great coaches metabolize stress, regulate team friction, and build cultures that turn pressure into flow. From “stress audits” to boundary-setting and recovery habits, this conversation unpacks how coaches can create high-trust environments where teams—and leaders—thrive under tension.

Key takeaways include:

Metabolizing Stress: Stress isn’t the enemy—it’s fuel. Sarkis reframes stress as something to process rather than eliminate, teaching coaches how to guide players (and themselves) through overwhelm back toward clarity.
Boundaries and Recovery: The best leaders know when to be on and when to be off. Sarkis highlights how top performers—like LeBron—invest time, not just money, in recovery, reminding us that “all debt comes due.”
Friction and Flow: Competitive environments are built on friction. Great coaches learn to channel that heat into focus, not chaos—guiding their teams between the edges of boredom and overwhelm.
Trust and Communication: Micro-cues build (or break) trust. Sarkis explains how consistency and honest communication are the foundation for flow, accountability, and culture.
Motivation and Meaning: The great motivators don’t rely on speeches—they understand the reward systems that drive human behavior. Motivation, she reminds us, isn’t something you wait for; it’s something you engineer.

This episode is a masterclass in the inner game of coaching—where neuroscience meets leadership, and where the work isn’t just about your players... it’s about your own capacity to lead under stress.

We dive into:

In our conversation, Coach Richey shares how his philosophy was shaped by studying leaders like Rick Byrd, Bob McKillop, Jay Wright, and Lenny Acuff, and how he’s blended those influences into Furman’s unique style of play. We unpack his approach to:

Sustainable Winning: Why top-down alignment across administration, staff, and players is critical, and how identity-driven decision making simplifies recruiting, culture, and daily choices.
Player Development: Building year-over-year growth by aligning skill work directly with system play, creating an environment where smart, skilled, and tough players thrive.
Offensive Innovation: Exploring concepts like “playing without pause,” offensive “bridging” from attack to action, and balancing Princeton-influenced structure with pace, freedom, and decision making.
Defensive Identity: Richey’s reflections on how Furman can evolve on the defensive side of the ball, including measuring what matters most, systemizing coverages, and balancing rim protection with three-point defense.
Practice Design: How to maximize learning and decision-making through competitive small-sided games, varying stimuli, and teaching spacing, timing, and re-spacing at a high level.
The Art of the Dribble Handoff: A deep dive during our Start, Sub, or Sit segment into angles, pace, and counters within DHO actions.

Coach Richey also shares his belief in lifelong learning, the role of reading and studying outside programs, and why continuous innovation is essential in today’s coaching landscape.

In this episode, Belmont Head Coach Casey Alexander sits down with Slappin' Glass and breaks down his offensive philosophy, defensive evolution, and coaching journey. From assisted-basket strategies to player empowerment, Coach Alexander shares how three decades of culture and continuity shape Belmont basketball.

Offensive Philosophy & Efficiency

Assisted Baskets: Nearly top-10% nationally, built on recruiting unselfish, high-IQ players who prioritize team offense over isolation.
Ball Movement with Control: High passing volume paired with impressively low turnovers, thanks to system-oriented players.
Pace & Tempo: Focuses on shot quality, not the clock; emphasizes quick transition opportunities whenever the defense isn’t fully set. Runs a motion offense with freedom for players to break plays when advantages arise.

Teaching Style: Concepts over Details

Conceptual Framework: Players learn broad principles, making reads in the flow of the game instead of memorizing plays.
Player Empowerment: Every recruit gets the “green light,” fostering confidence and freedom from day one.
Quality Shot Standards: Uses a unique “four-point shot” grading system in practice — shots only count if they meet strict criteria for rhythm, balance, and positioning.

Recruiting & Culture

Personnel First: Success starts with finding the right offensive-minded, team-first players.
Cultural Consistency: A 30-year standard of excellence, with a 3.5 team GPA and multiple Academic All-Americans.
Flexibility in Recruitment: Willing to adapt for players with elite intangibles like toughness, competitiveness, and leadership.

Defensive Adjustments

Late-Season Turnaround: From bottom-third nationally to top-10 defense in the final five games, driven by greater physicality.
Switching Philosophy: Shifted from over-switching (which bred passivity) to a system that demands initial defender engagement.
Simplicity in the Gray Areas: Prioritizes communication, effort, and competitiveness over complex schemes.

Coaching Development & Connection

Player Relationships: Continuous growth focus, investing in personal connections and development.
Direct Communication: Honest, demanding, but never manipulative.
Career Foundation: 16 years under Hall of Fame coach Rick Byrd — patience and preparation that became his best investment.

This week on the Slappin’ Glass Podcast, we sit down with Chattanooga Mocs Head Coach, Dan Earl, for a masterclass in offensive creativity, teaching, and decision-making.

Coach Earl dives deep into the evolution of his Princeton-influenced offense, where the five-man acts as the hub—a quarterback-like figure who randomizes actions, flows into concepts, and keeps the ball moving with spacing, cutting, and decision-making at the center of everything. He details how to teach bigs to pass, pivot, cut, and make reads, while also emphasizing the importance of allowing freedom and randomness within structure.

We discuss:

Randomizing offense through the five-man: spacing, ball screens, and empowering skilled centers.
Teaching cutting, screening, and timing—why Chattanooga was one of the most efficient cutting teams in the nation last year.
