Clinic Notes from Ben Jacobson



Coming off the biggest upset in the 2010 NCAA Tournament and a new contract extension, Northern Iowa's Ben Jacobson shared some offensive insights in Las Vegas on April 30th which I will share with you...

3 Things to Start With
1) A solid foundation
2) Belief in what you're doing
3) Work hard!

3 Things they talk about offensively at Northern Iowa -
It doesn't matter what offense you run, you need these:
1) Spacing
2) Pace - Best definition of "pace" is watching Michigan St. run their stuff
3) Screening

Offensively, try to force help. What can you do to force help?
1) Post up
2) Ball screen

Jacobson also talked about how all of their secondary options and sets are called ahead of time (out of time outs). They will run these until the next media time out.
