We dive deep into why he does what he does.\n\n\n\n\nNeighbors enters his third season at the helm of Arkansas, coming off of one of the best and most dynamic seasons in program history, as his 2018-19 Hogs became one of just four Razorback squads since the turn of the century to win at least 22 games.\n\n\n\n\nKnown for his offensive philosophy, Neighbors\u2019 2018-19 squad broke several school records, including most points in a single season, a record that had stood at Arkansas since the 1981-82 season. The Hogs were also lethal from deep, as they made a school-record 296 three-pointers over the course of the season.\n\n\n\n\nPrior to Arkansas, Neighbors guided Washington to four seasons of unprecedented success, highlighted by the 2016 NCAA Final Four and two NCAA Sweet 16 appearances. Named the program\u2019s head coach after two years as an assistant, Neighbors led the Huskies to a 98-41 record that was fueled by three consecutive 23-plus win seasons and included four postseason appearances (3 NCAA, 1 WNIT).\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBreakdown\n\n1:00 - Playing with Set Fastbreak Positions\n\n3:00 - Contrarian Thinker\n\n5:00 - Example of one of his Why's\n\n9:30 - It's Marketing\n\n12:00 - Using these colorful words\n\n15:00 - Live Ball Coaching\n\n19:30 - How he actually do Practice\n\n22:00 - Workload Management\n\n26:00 - Setting Team Goals\n\n35:00 - Why he Liked to be called Coach\n\n38:00 - Power\n\n42:30 - Rewarding Effort over Success\n\n47:30 - Organized and Rank Things\n\n53:00 - Talking about Defense\n\n56:00 - Full Court Pressure but Pack line in Half-Court\n\n1:00:00 - Differences of his Shoot-Around\u00a0\n\n1:05:00 - Supporting Analytics to what he is saying\n\n1:07:00 - Conclusion\n\n\n\n\nMike Neighbor\u2019s Bio\n\nBio: https://twitter.com/coachneighbors\n\nTwitter: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Neighbors\n\n\u00a0\u00a0\n\nBasketball Immersion\n\nWebsite: http://basketballimmersion.com/\n\nTwitter: https://twitter.com/bballimmersion?lang=en\n\nYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/basketballimmersion\n\nFacebook: https://facebook.com/basketballimmersion\n\n\n\n\nBest in the West Video Series\n\nBest in the West Website: http://bestinthewestclinic.com/\n\nSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/7069e0ec-9920-4751-8625-1ded4eaf4881/135e2835370674a32c6c6235a6a3e54f4f6110ae3868283f018ade21bc307ab.jpeg"}
