Description

Lesson #7 of the Building a Program Series: Timing and Picking Your Spots

This lesson is one of ten in our Building a Program series. This series focuses on a combination of off-court and on-court ideas that can take your program to the next level or build it from the ground up. These ideas have been built through 25 years of running a highly successful high school basketball program.

Each course in this series is a 2,000 word article that includes highly specific examples and ideas that can help you build your program. These writings are easy to read and are downloadable PDFs, so you can always save them. 

Here is a short excerpt from this lesson, titled Timing and Picking Your Spots:

"Two specific situations from the last couple months stick out to me as examples. First, I officiated one game where the coach yelled “Close out! Choppy feet!” on every single close out for an entire game. I could not believe it. I’m sure he said it close to 250 times during that one-hour summer scrimmage. You could tell he was a very good coach because of how his players competed, and they definitely closed out well. But, there is absolutely no need for him to yell “Close out! Choppy feet!” every time one of his players comes from help or rotates to guard someone. I’m sure his players do not even hear it any more. He certainly could be using his time and voice differently."

This course is all about the power of timing and picking your spots within your program!
