Players who are committed to the team first will find a way to help when things are going bad, they will do whatever it takes. Kids that are more into themselves will not do that. They will take care of themselves and get more individual when things are tough.

Most of my learning and philosophy regarding coaching basketball was developed after great frustration.

We teach offense 5-0/5-5 (whole method) and defense by part (1-1/3-3).

We cannot accept in victory what we would not accept in defeat.

For us to be successful on defense, we must get back and stop the basketball, eliminate easy baskets, keep the ball out of the lane, and bother the shooters.

What does this program/team need this week?
