    Dan Earl on Randomizing Offense, Shot Selection and Assist Analytics, and Late-Game Conundrums {Chattanooga}

    This week on the Slappin’ Glass Podcast, we sit down with Chattanooga Mocs Head Coach, Dan Earl, for a masterclass in offensive creativity, teaching, and decision-making. Coach Earl dives deep into the evolution of his Princeton-influenced offense, where the five-man acts as the hub—a quarterback-like figure who randomizes actions, flows into concepts, and keeps the ball moving with spacing, cutting, and decision-making at the center of everything. He details how to teach bigs to pass, pivot, cut, and make reads, while also emphasizing the importance of allowing freedom and randomness within structure. We discuss: Randomizing offense through the five-man: spacing, ball screens, and empowering skilled centers.Teaching cutting, screening, and timing—why Chattanooga was one of the most efficient cutting teams in the nation last year.Shot selection and assist stats: how Coach Earl teaches decision-making and efficiency without overloading players.Late-game conundrums: fouling up three, defending full-court situations, and the eternal debate of putting a defender on or off the inbounder.The role of relationships and trust in building a successful program.From X’s and O’s to late-game philosophy, Coach Earl offers both practical teaching points and big-picture lessons that coaches at every level will take something from.
