You Will Learn:
Francesco Nanni is an Italian professional coach, who has coached for over 10 years at various levels within Italy, from mini-basket to pro. Nanni currently coaches at Scafati Basket, one of the top teams in the Italian A2 league.
Nanni has worked with some of the top prospects at the youth level in Italy, as well as being well-regarded for the quality of his content sharing on various social media platforms. Nanni uses an approach that combines the best of the European style with evidence-based learning concepts that are the foundation of Basketball Immersion.
Nanni starts by introducing players to the specific defensive cues to look for while playing 1-on-1. Double gaps are then introduced, followed by how to use a blast cut to create an advantage and an easier 1-on-1 situation. An emphasis is placed on reading the defender while receiving the ball as opposed to waiting and losing a potential advantage.
Four different small-sided games are used to teach these concepts, with varying constraints and points of emphasis. The concept of zero seconds decision-making is coherent across the practice.
