Coach Mike Neighbors is one of the most interesting coaches in basketball.
Coach Neighbors has very unique philosophies when it comes to late clock, fouling & other areas of a basketball game.
Here are 3 tactics to make your team better!
#1 - Prevent Opponents from using Two for One’s
A two-for-one opportunity is a smart play used to get two shots at the end of the half.
Coach Neighbors uses the “milk” philosophy to solidify a team not getting the last shot so a team doesn't get a two-for-one.
This philosophy can help win basketball games.

On a late shot clock, Coach Neighbors believes in using fouls to take away a team getting a good shot.
This could be the difference between winning and losing a basketball game.

#3 - Be Prepared For…
Coach Neighbors believes your definition of a good shot is going to change.
The shot clock runs down – and your mindset on what kind of shot you want changes.
You won't be able to dictate every decision but the shot clock will help dictate what you do.
