John Wheeler: Princeton Offense Guru
Manage episode 381986848 series 3291805
John Wheeler has a very high IQ when it comes to installing the Princeton Offense into basketball programs and making it work for their personnel.
I'll admit, for years, I was a major skeptic of the Princeton Offense. It seemed slow and behind the times in regards to the 'basketball of today' which typically is a faster pace, but after speaking with John and getting to know him better, it was VERY educational and insightful to gain his insight.
In today's interview, please get ready to take notes. And if you are like me, and had pre-conceived ideas of this topic, please come to this interview with an open-mind so you can be open to learning something new.
In our discussion John opens up about his time at Ohio State University where he actually was on the practice squad for the Women's Team?!! Yeah you heard that right. That's actually a thing, and this was in the early 2000s and he'll explain how that happened and how he even found himself in that position. But that was a moment in time that shifted John's career in a positive way.
With mentors that have helped guide him, John found a passion for coaching and now, because of his expertise, he is able to help SO MANY coaches and programs with his knowledge. He has taken his knowledge to the internet and provides courses and trainings on the Princeton Offense.
