Sundance Wicks of Missouri Western State University provided ideas on creating a good team culture and adapting dribble drive motion to your team. Jason Otter, owner, and creator of Jason Otter's School of Basketball instructed coaches on player development and attacking the ball screen. Bob Burchard of Columbia College and Bret Burchard, Head Coach for Northern Arizona, discussed defending positions.
