Justin Downer on Offensive Decision Trees, The Power of Three, and Creating Productive Adversity | Point Loma
Point Loma Head Coach Justin Downer joins the Slappin’ Glass Podcast to discuss building offensive decision trees around advantage creation, organizing offense into four connected phases, and using the “power of three” to simplify reads. Downer explains how Point Loma identifies its three best offensive leverage points, recruits primary ball handlers rather than traditional point guards, and teaches ball-screen decisions through three levels: the primary defender, the coverage, and the help b...

Matt Fletcher on Guard-to-Guard Screening, Developing a Staff, and Personnel-Based Cutting | Concordia St. Paul
Concordia St. Paul head coach Matt Fletcher joins Slappin’ Glass to detail the guard-to-guard screening system his staff built around a roster of multiple point guards and an undersized five. Fletcher explains how “bump, tap, hit” gives screeners three answers—screen-and-roll, ghost, or hit-and-pop—while creating an empty side and forcing the defense into switch-or-stay decisions. The conversation moves into the teaching behind the system: charting each player’s screening mix, entering the fi...

Vitor Galvani on Hedge & Plug Protection Plans, Guard-to-Guard Separation & Letting Shot Selection Set the Pace | Mexico City Capitanes
The 2026 G-League Coach of the Year, Vitor Galvani, joins us to detail how he built and adjusted Hedge & Plug in Brazil and the G League. He explains why the coverage made sense in what he calls a “scoring guards league,” how the pickup point changes the plug technique, the triggers for releasing the hedge, and why re-screens and late flips can put the coverage under real stress. The conversation moves behind the ball to Galvani’s “Protection Plan”: the MIG and Fence, jumping...

Chad Dickman on Unorthodox Spacing, Randomizing Blind Flares, & Forcing Defenses to Solve the Unfamiliar | Hood College
Hood College Head Coach Chad Dickman joins us to discuss how his offense uses spacing, pace, and unorthodox ball-screen actions to force defenses into decisions they rarely get to rehearse. Dickman explains the thinking behind Hood’s early empty-side flat ball screens, the intentionally “jumbled” three-man side, and why he wants the ballhandler making decisions before the defense can settle into its preferred coverage. We get into how Hood teaches players to flow from one action to the next w...

Charles Klask on Building Structure Into Flow Offense, Evaluating Rich Possessions, and Disruptive Switching | University of Washington
University of Washington assistant coach and longtime NBA coach Charles Klask joins Slappin’ Glass for a detailed conversation on building structure underneath a free-flowing offense, defining offensive priorities, using analytics to shape behavior, and teaching switching defense. Klask breaks down how to identify your best decision-makers, build an offensive hierarchy around player strengths, and create what he calls “rich possessions” by involving your “rulers” while attacking the opponent’...

Pat Juckem on Designing Practices That Transfer, Scoring Winning Habits, and Taking Emotion Out of Shot Selection | WashU
WashU Head Coach Pat Juckem joins the Slappin’ Glass Podcast to discuss practice design, competitive scoring, team engagement, and transition defense. Juckem breaks down how WashU structures practice through teaching, learning, and competitive segments, why the opening minutes should reveal a team’s identity, and how productive practices often require mistakes, uncertainty, and player-led problem solving. He also explains how scoring systems can reinforce offensive rebounding, defensive activ...

T.J. Otzelberger on Defensive Trade-Offs, In-Game Information, and Competitive Endurance | Iowa State
Iowa State Head Coach TJ Otzelberger joins the Slappin’ Glass Podcast to discuss building one of college basketball’s most disruptive defensive identities. Coach Otzelberger explains why Iowa State prioritizes mentality over scheme, beginning with its commitment to creating a “collision” on the first dribble, pressuring the ball inside the scoring area, and forcing opponents to play under duress. He details the Cyclones’ “goalie” and “spy” responsibilities, early baseline rotations, and the h...
