Coaching thoughts 11-14-10

Awarness: Awarness can allow a marginal athlete to become a very good defender- more
so than a great athlete with marginal awareness. 60% of awareness comes from what you
have built through practice/drills/habits. 40% comes from who you are guarding and what
the other team is running. Arizona Basketball Newsletter

What impacts winning? --- Whatever you believe it is, the players need to believe it

Today’s players have no fear --- they don’t fear their parents, coaches, or other players

Jeff Van Gundy Thoughts
-The essence of teaching is getting players to do what they don’t want to do in
order to achieve what they want to achieve.
-It’s a constant fight. Don’t lower your standards. Push them to be perfect
practice players.
-The Three S’s: Soft, Stupid and Selfish. A player can only be 1 of them.
--4 stats to pay attention to:
1. True FG % (3FG% being weighted into FG%
Calculation: PTS / (2 * (FGA + 0.44 * FTA))
2. Turnover Differential
3. Rebounding % (What percentage of missed shots are you getting?)
4. Made Free Throws (make more free throws than our opponent attempts)
