Powering The Drill Zone

Coaching Thoughts

I loved this quote that I just read on the bison basketball blog.

Look at your team and figure out the two things they can do really well—as well as anybody n the league, conference, district. Then make sure there’s not a team in your district that does those two things better.

Utah Jazz Assistant, Gordon Chiesa

Every year our goal is to win more games than we should or we are expected to. Small focuses on areas like this can be very helpful to maximize your wins. Last year we knew we weren't going to win a lot of games from shooting a high %. We did think we could win from rebounding all of these misses. Tried to focus on getting every offensive rebound instead of beating our heads in about every miss.

Ideas to do these things better
1. Look at your drills and make sure they have a strong focus in this area
2. Find any way you can to put yourself in position to do these things
3. Sit down with your coaching staff and work together to identify these areas
4. Don't try to focus on every thing
5. Ask your players what they are confident in and get them to buy in
