Teaching a play takes a day. Teaching players to read the defense takes time.
@CoachSamAllen on building habits that last, and the question every coach should ask in the first two weeks of practice.

Bo has been competing
The message I get from college coaches is they tell me they love watching him compete
Lefty that can really shoot it.
High character. Great teammate!
2027 Bowyen Reid is a high-IQ player who isn’t afraid to do the dirty work. He’s constantly flying around the court, making winning plays and crashing the glass with relentless effort. Reid also showcased a smooth stroke, burying several threes on the day.

Enjoyed watching all ages of BCB hoop. Very well-run organization with players who are well-coached.
Thanks for the coverage this weekend
Chadon and Blaine along with their 16u @BCBBall_ teammates had a strong weekend
Excited to get back to practice this week to improve and grow
This team will have a strong Spring with guys being big contributors to their HS programs

Spacing is critical. Gravity is the x-factor.

Great listen, with a lot of gold nuggets to take away. Appreciate it, guys! @Hardwood_Hustle, @CoachSamAllen, @CoachTJRosene, and @coachneighbors
Love that quote: “If your life is not about you, your legacy will live well beyond you.”

Coach - Love all 4 of these I use "no squirrel cuts" w/players. Squirrels (in the road) often either hesitate or run back to where they started = getting run over.
Players, cut & finish your cuts. It creates space, allows your teammates to trust where you're going & play faster

10 players on the court
1 player has the ball
9 players don’t have the ball
The majority of the game will be played without the ball
In our trainer heavy, skill development world we live in…
More players than ever think their value is only in what they do when they have the ball
Defend, talk, Make extra pass, remind a teammate, anticipate & close off a drive, set a screen, do what winners do

Wednesday will be lift, film, and shooting mostly. Thursday we will prep for Friday’s opponent with a little more intensity than Wed’s practice. Thurs would be no longer than 75 mins at this point of the season

Depends on the type of loss (close? blowout?) Immediately address/focus on any areas that impacted the loss that also impact next game success. (e.g. Rebounding, Turnovers, Communication) From there, focus on scout, individual matchups, and continue working on fundamentals.
TWO DAYS
Coaches
What do you do with the 2 days you have between games
Example
You lose a game on Tuesday night
You play a game on Friday
You have 2 days of practice on Wednesday & Thursday to work on the things you need to improve on
How you prioritize what you do in practice, film, walk-thru matters
What’s your process?
Would love to hear from both veteran and young coaches
I think this could be a valuable and insightful thread for coaches to learn from one another
Sam Allen retweeted
30 years of coaching doesn’t make you better.
Evaluating every year does.
Look at last season. What did it teach you? And what will you do differently

Skill is the ultimate Equalizer in basketball. Skill comes from work--consistent, daily, disciplined work. - @CoachSamAllen

It should be hard to surprise a coach because a team's performance is ultimately a product of how they practice every day.

No matter what it is in your program, if you want to do great work as a staff, you have to challenge each other, raise the bar, and stop settling for less.

The best coaches:
1. Consistently ask what gives you the best ROI.
2. Learn and apply on repeat.
