The first closeout is rarely the real problem. What happens next reveals whether your players can defend as a team.
What's up Coaches Welcome to our new 3on3 Hoops Nation Community!
This is a place for coaches to connect, collab, and develop smarter players using 3v3 basketball.
Make sure to introduce yourselves as you come in. Share who you coach, where you are from, and what you hope to learn while you're here!
A coaching win does not have to show up on the scoreboard.
Maybe your players communicated better, executed a new concept, responded to correction, competed harder, or finally understood something you have been teaching.
Share one win from your week and tell us:
What happened?
What helped create the breakthrough?
What will you build on next?
I’ll start: One of my favorite coaching wins is when players begin correcting each other using the same language we use in practice. That is when you know the teaching is starting to stick.
Tell us a little about your coaching background using the format below:
Name:
Location:
Team or organization:
Age group you coach:

What you hope to learn here:
I’m Jarryd Dent, aka Coach J, founder of 3on3 Hoops Nation and Score Hoops 3on3 Basketball, and I created this community to help coaches exchange ideas and use 3v3 to develop better basketball players.
This community is for coaches who want to use 3v3 basketball to build smarter, more skilled, and more confident players.
Here’s how to get started:
1) Introduce yourself in the Introductions channel.
2) Join the conversation in General.
3) Post your practice or player-development questions.
4) Share what is working with your team.
5) Respect different coaching perspectives and keep discussions constructive.
Free members can participate in community discussions and connect with other coaches, while Coaches Club members receive access to premium teaching frameworks, practice tools, film breakdowns, and direct support.
Start by introducing yourself and telling us the biggest challenge you are currently facing as a coach.
What is the biggest challenge you are currently dealing with on your team?
It could be spacing, decision-making, defense, communication, practice effort, player confidence, or something completely different.
Drop your answer below and include the age group you coach.
I’ll use these responses to guide future discussions, resources, and Coach J breakdowns inside the community.
