This is a press option I’ve used coaching pro basketball in Europe. It works when you don’t mind if the ball handler passes back to the trailer or if spacing is tight. Do you teach this? What adjustments do you make? #DanielNelsonCoachingBreakdowns #OnceSport

📣 Honoured to be named Head Coach of Anorthosis Famagusta Basketball Club 🇨🇾
It’s a privilege — & a responsibility I carry with full respect for everyone who’s built this club.
I’ll give everything I have to serve the team, reflect its values, culture.

💬 What’s your perspective?
Should NCAA-bound players go through the FIBA clearance process — or is that too much red tape?
Curious to hear from coaches, scouts, and federation staff.

Daniel Nelson Coaching @dnelsoncoaching.bsky.social · May 26

FIBA is moving to regulate NCAA-bound international transfers with Letters of Clearance — like pro club moves.
Could reshape youth development, NIL, and club investment.
