Author: Martin Plum August 23, 2026 Duration: 22:01

We discussed Defensive Pillars just a few days ago, and we're back discussing the same thing, just on the other side of the ball! Today we take a look at the 7 Pillars on offense that we used in our system and program, as well as ways to make sure that it is engrained in your players minds. In addition, we've got a great quote from Steve Kerrm, and we also study one of the least well known but brilliant head coaches in modern basketball, Rick Byrd.


Imagine a whiteboard session after a big game, the kind where strategy gets scribbled on whatever's handy. That's the spirit of A Pen And A Napkin. This weekly conversation lives at the crossroads of sport and creative thinking, diving deep into the art of coaching basketball. Each episode feels like pulling up a chair in a gym office, listening to the nuanced discussions about player development, offensive sets, defensive adjustments, and the philosophy behind building a team. It’s less about Xs and Os in a vacuum and more about the why-the human elements and the creative problem-solving that define the craft. You’ll hear authentic breakdowns of game situations, reflections on leadership, and practical ideas that often start with a simple sketch. Think of it as a portable mentors’ roundtable, a clinic distilled into conversation, offering perspectives that resonate whether you’re on the sidelines or just appreciate the deeper layers of the game. Tune in for a podcast that captures the ongoing, ever-evolving dialogue at the heart of coaching.
