The word of the day kids is….sturdy. There are few cocktails as classic as the Negroni, an equal parts mixed drink (gin, Campari and sweet vermouth) with Italian roots that uses just three ingredients to deliver a flavor bomb in your mouth. The late 19th-century drink became a staple at your favorite elitist cocktail joints in the late 20th-century entering the 21st, with bartenders remixing it with mezcal instead of gin.

Matthew B. Crawford is a philosopher. Actually he’s more like a modern Renaissance man: a self-taught auto-mechanic and one-time custom motorcycle shop owner, a repentant former D.C. think tanker, a best-selling author with an undergraduate education in physics and a University of Chicago Ph.D. in ancient political thought, and now a senior fellow at the University of Virginia’s Institute for Advanced Studies in Culture. But to me he’s most remarkable for being one of the very small group of people I’d favorably describe as genuine contemporary philosophers, given how his work strives not only to make real strides in understanding the world as it is, but also – in the tradition of the true greats of the ancient world – to suggest a concrete way to live in that world.

Before this match I tweeted my thoughts on this first semifinal: “Hot and humid day session with the home crowd. Best possible conditions for Shelton if he’s to have a chance. Will need the first set to keep the crowd involved. Djokovic is too good of a front runner. I think Novak will try to keep Ben moving: he’s [Shelton] still a little heavy and ND is so good at changing directions and keeping players from feeling set on their shots.

I post a lot of content, plays, and diagrams with Hoops Companion. Most of those are for use against man-to-man defense. Quite often, coaches will reach out to me for some help with scoring against zone defenses. One of my favorite ways I’ve seen teams go against zone offense is through the use of ball screens. Before we dive into a few ballscreen sets against a zone, let’s review some basic zone offense concepts:

In this newsletter, we are going to discuss ways to use ghost screens to create gaps for your Dribble Drive Motion Offense. Ghost screens are great actions against teams that like to switch. What is a Ghost Screen? A fake ball screen after which the would-be screener sprints away into space; a pick-and-pop, but without the pick Let’s consider how you can incorporate these with your Drive and Kick offense philosophies.

My dad taught me every epic journey deserves a great soundtrack. My PalliMed Mixtape is the story of my Palliative Medicine Fellowship year, told in 15 songs. Valerie Loves Me on Apple Music I am married to a wonderful woman named Valerie.  We met in elementary school. Our moms were on the PTA together, and I played tee-ball with her brother.  My little brother beat her in the second-grade spelling bee and still brags about it, but she rejected him when he asked her out later.
