Basketball Coaching Clinic Notes – Part 2
As part of the random coaching nuggets series, here is my second entry featuring some more notes from the 2009 Coaches Self-Improvement Clinic:
Doc Rivers on Building Team Chemistry:
- Work on team building and chemistry everyday watching it with a close eye.
- Move seats around the locker room and put players together and use it to separate others as well.
- If a player has an event, every player and coach must go.
- Sometimes you have to force guys to hang out with their teammates.
Lawrence Frank on Becoming a Successful Coach (as told to him by Jeff Van Gundy):
- Work Ethic
- Competency – Know your subject matter. As a coach, you must know the answers before the questions are asked.
- Sincerity / Trustworthiness
- Reliability
Jeff Goodman (Fox Sports Net) on Dealing with the Media:
- Have your players get to know media members. Maybe not on a deep, personal level, but having them go up to a writer and introduce themselves is helpful to both parties, maybe during a shoot-around or light practice.
Kevin Eastman on the 3 Factors for an Ideal Defensive Possession:
- 1. No penetration
- 2. If there is penetration, no shots off that penetration.
- 3. No shots in the first three passes.
