Coaching Philosophy
Coach DeForest's approach to basketball is built on developing intelligent, confident players who understand the "why" behind every possession. The Princeton Offense is the foundation of this philosophy.
Basketball IQ First
Teach players to identify the defensive cue and the next available pass. Review the decision separately from the shot result.
Connected Actions
Chin, 5 Out, Low, Point, Twirl and X give the team different entries and connections. Preserve the player assignments in the selected diagram.
Adapt the Teaching
Start with a usable entry and its continuation. Choose the personnel version and number of choices that fit the group.
College Preparation
FCP combines basketball development with academic and recruiting preparation. An offensive system is one part of that work.
Skill Development
Use the breakdowns to work on passing, cutting, shooting and footwork, then return to complete possessions.
Published Resources
The playbook, practice guide and instructional videos let coaches work from the source diagrams and explanations.
Player Development and College Pathways
FCP's published biography identifies Sean East at Missouri, Brandon Maclin at DePaul, Kylin Green at Houston Christian and Ring Malith at SIU Edwardsville. See the FCP coaching biography for that background.
