The best BLOB defenses in DIII last season:
🥇 Salem State — 0.532 PPP
🥈 New Jersey City — 0.550 PPP
🥉 Washington (MD) — 0.578 PPP

Does your practice plan reflect this math? As a coach, you don't like facing a set defense all the time. So....do that to your opponent. Being excellent at transition defense requires no skill. Just effort. Take pride in getting 5 back.
Secret to winning this season: Trans D Math: FG% + Live Ball TO's = % of time you are in transition. Ex. 42% FG + 10 Live Ball t.o. (assuming 100 possessions) = 68% you are in Transition D. "Be good at the things that happen a lot." ~ CarrilView quoted post on X
✅ Hindsight is the best insight to foresight. = Look back, evaluate, keep what needs keeping, change what needs changing, plan to do better, work that plan.
