“Slice” and<br />
“Point” sets<br />
Glenn “Doc” Rivers played in the NBA for<br />
13 years for several teams. He began his<br />
coaching career in the 1999 with the Orlando<br />
Magic. He remained in Orlando for<br />
three seasons, winning the NBA Coachof-the-Year<br />
award in 2000. He has coached<br />
the Boston Celtics for the past four years,<br />
winning the NBA Championship in 2008.<br />
Armond Hill, a former NBA player, has<br />
been an assistant coach for the Boston<br />
Celtics since 2004. He has had more than<br />
18 years of coaching experience at all<br />
levels. Moving from Frankville High<br />
School (New Jersey), he became an assistant<br />
coach at Princeton University<br />
(New Jersey), and then head coach of Columbia<br />
University (New York). He has also<br />
served as assistant coach of the Atlanta<br />
Hawks.<br />
Last season, we built a team with three superstars,<br />
Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, and<br />
Ray Allen, and another raising star, Rajon<br />
Rondo. All the while, we tried to keep in<br />
mind the individual talents of these four<br />
great players. But there were times when<br />
we needed “player and ball movement” to<br />
set a tone or a rhythm in order to see how<br />
a team was trying to defend us. "Slice" was<br />
our basic, secondary offensive set that we<br />
got into if we didn't score on our initial<br />
push of the ball.<br />
