NBA COACH VISITS OXFORD HOOPS
February 11, 2013
NBA/FIBA Coach Ozell Wells landed in the UK on Saturday 9th Feb in the afternoon. Travelled down to Oxford and was met by 2 Oxford HOOPS ambassadors at Glocester Green bus station. They then took him to the Oxford Hotel by about 7pm ... so far so good right??? Well, Coach left one of his bags in the back of the cab. The bag contained passports, credit cards, ID documents, including FIBA cards and other International cards. The 2 HOOPS ambassdors and Coach mobilised so many people that by 9.30pm the bag was returned in safe condition. Coach Wells have asked us to thank Calvin, Idris, Isaac, Alice and all the others involved in chasing "Jim", his cab and the bag!
In the mean time, Coach Marulanda and Meekings were finishing a 84-74 win vs Chichester Thunder in Worthing, oblivious to the drama in Oxford. The Coaches finally met at the Oxford Hotel as the bag was being returned. Over a drink and a snack they discussed the Camp. The Theme "Body Control", the status was "Progressive", so they better execution the more would be fed onto the campers.
Sunday 10th Feb 8.30am Coach Marulanda was taking Coaches Bea and Sofia to St Gregs for the U12/U14 practice session. 9.25am Coach Marulanda and Wells meet over breakfast to discuss camp and future, a lengthy discussion but worth every minute 10.45am Coach Ozell Wells arrive at St Gregs 11am Coach David Emsden warms up 18 Women before Coach Wells takes over 1pm Coach Marulanda warms up 45 U16 players before Coach Wells takes over 3pm Coach Marulanda warms up 20 Oxford League Men players before Coach Wells takes over 5pm Coach Meekings warms up the NBL Men Players before Coach Wells takes over
Almost 100 Players were coached by Ex-NBA and FIBA Coach Ozell Wells where he put them through their paces from simple exercises to more complex drills with clear emphasis on body control and footwork, the pillars of basketball. He progressed as much as he was able to do it depending on capability. The Women enjoyed a great tale about Chris Webber during his college days which enhanced the importance of communication. The U16 and Men group were shown drills used by Chris Paul that helps improve dribbling, body control, balance, speed and effective scoring under constant pressure. The NBL Men used the same drills, but progressed onto the Triangle Offensive set used by a few NBA teams.
"I believe that just having a Coach with International experience with Oxford HOOPS offers so much more to our players and Coaches alike. The 2 hour sessions they had were probably some of the hardest, yet simple training sessions some of these players have ever experienced." Coach Mark Blencowe
"I just loved how he explains moves to you, it was clear and concise, but he does have a short fuse though!" Noel De Leon, U17 Player
"I could be coached by Coach Wells forever, he's great fun and get us to work harder." Sofia Marulanda, U17 Women
"I'm looking forward to my next visit to Oxford already, as the new Director of International Basketball, I see my role as to bring the rest of the world to Oxford as well as take HOOPS to the rest of the world. Like I said during the camp, get ready for my next visit, so I can really show you ways into the next level or just ways to do what you do more effectively." Coach Ozell Wells
There you have it people, the man will be back! How soon? It depends on all of you. Do you want what MOST would give the right arm for? It was only £5 for 2 hours ... that is not even a Cinema ticket!! Usually, these Mini Camps are £20-£30 and we brought you a coach who has done it all, seen it all and helped many. If you did not take advantage of this opportunity - shame on you!
