This course is great to help teach decision making and Coach Cascio gives specific information and drills to reinforce. I took a ton of notes but noticed that Coach Cascio provides that as well as part of this course. Coach Miller continues to show he is ahead of the game, I highly recommend this course to any basketball coach, regardless of age, experience, etc.

Really helpful because it makes you think about your practice planning as opposed to just planning a practice. There were lots of good connections between the classroom and the court as well which I enjoyed as a teacher and a coach. The video clips shared in the presentation assisted in driving home the points Coach was trying to make.

The course really gets you thinking about not just having a practice plan but being purposeful in each part of your practice. Coach Cascio did a phenomenal job explaining the different aspects of what to consider when planning out your practices. Thanks Tony and Mark for the great information. I plan on implementing pieces of these concepts in the near future.

Coach Miller provides very useful and practical knowledge in this lesson. I've had the opportunity to be at many of Coach Miller's practices and I've gotten to see Coach Miller use these techniques to great effect. I plan on reviewing this course and using these techniques in the future.

This is one of the best practice videos I've ever seen. If you are looking for specific drills don't look here. But if you're looking for ways to be a much better coach in practice, and help your team get better, this video is for you. One of my new favorites.
