A great way to test the conditioning of your team is the two-mile run.

All the years I coached, we sent a card to every professor for each kid I had, and I was able to keep track on a daily basis who cut class or who was dropping a grade average. What I did was bring that kid in at 5:00 in the morning, and he would run the stairs from the bottom to the top until I told him to quit.

What is the best thing you can do in a close game? Drive to the basket and put pressure on the defense! Not jack up jump shots

I sit and wonder why no one uses the shot fake. The shot fake, when used correctly, can eliminate a defender

My overall point is that 'one and dones' are not healthy for college basketball. I should not have made it personal to Kentucky and its players and I apologize.

The single most important aspect of coaching is running effective practices
