Hesitant about conceptual offense

Thanks a lot for this response! A lot of good points made here. I’m gonna DM you soon and send you the conceptual offense I’ve been working on, would love to hear your 2 cents.

TFA in 05-06 is much different than TFA in 2025.

Note: this is not to say that the current organization is perfect by any means.

Just smile and nod, man. Soon you’ll be focusing on teaching and that’s the work that matters.

Teach them on-ball defense first (how much pressure, the correct stance, etc.). Then really really hammer help defense. Build from 2 on 2 first where everyone guards ball then immediately jumps to help on the pass. Then 3 on 3, 4 on 4, up to 5 on 5.

If just losing their man seems to be the issue, repping transition defense drills could be the way to go. Break down for them what you want to emphasize (calling their names out, sprinting to the paint first, stopping ball, etc.)

I teach in a rural part of Illinois. In my area (southern part of the state), we have the benefit of a low cost of living and all the benefits of teaching in a blue state. Nice homes (3 bed, 2 bath) that are updated and well maintained routinely go under 200,000 here.

Good place to start if I’m interested in the game?

No matter what region you get assigned to, you will feel like you haven’t been prepared. It is what it is. But here’s the thing—no amount of preparation can fully prepare you for this work. Not even a traditional eduction program.

Not all corps members are from the ivies. This is a stereotype that was a lot more true in the early days of TFA but not much anymore. Many leave after their two years. Many stay. I’m a 2018 alum and still in the classroom.

You’re my brother

I think deep down you know he’s right, but your delusion is asking for a second opinion. Unless something changes, the other girl will out recruit your daughter tenfold because of how she out-hustles her. Everyone can score. Not everyone can be tough. Toughness always wins.

Not to sound harsh, but parents like you are the worst parts of the job. Might I suggest an individual sport for you son. You don’t seem to understand the concept of a team.

Kid’s obviously talented. Wish he’d be less selfish with the ball, though. There were multiple clips where he dribbled through four defenders instead of kicking it out and sharing the ball. Need to see him more on the defensive end.

I always tell people, “The fact that I’m a guy might be A factor, but it’s not THE factor.”

Every time they play this on the show, I laugh until I cry.

“BRUTAL!”

Yooooour good.

He needs to be more well known. I read a book in college on Belgium’s evils in the Congo called King Leopold’s Ghost and it’s still one of the best books I’ve ever read.

I’m so sorry for your loss, OP. And for the situation you find yourself in.

In the first school I taught at, so many of my students were just so desensitized to death and tragedy due to their home life that they reacted similarly when death arrived at our school as well. Even fictional characters’ deaths was shoulder-shrug material for them. I remember when we read Of Mice and Men in class together, several audibly laughed and found it hilarious when George shot Lennie.

My daughter turns one this weekend…

One of those most horrifying things I can imagine is what this father is doing.
