LAST SUMMER, 76ers coach Brett Brown held a clinic for area coaches at Lower Merion High School. He was in his comfort zone in front of more than a couple of hundred grade school, high school, AAU and college coaches.
The format was simple. Brown had 10 players from Lower Merion ready to go and he would take a question from one of the gathered coaches. Whether it was an offensive or defensive question, Brown had an answer at the ready and a drill to show what he meant. The tutorials on the floor ranged from individual to team sessions, on how to attack zones to running a proper high pick-and-roll.
