https://teachhoops.com/https://teachhoops.com/In this episode, we map out a 10-day sprint that gives your team a clear identity fast. Each day targets one lever—shot selection language, first-six-seconds in transition, on-ball containment, glass rules, advantage finishing, ball-screen coverage, late-game organization, turnover fixes, role clarity, and communication. You’ll get the cue words to teach, the constraint game to run, and the single metric to track so the habit sticks under pressure. We

https://teachhoops.com/⁠ The legendary success of Bob Hurley’s program at St. Anthony High School was, first and foremost, a product of an unshakeable culture of discipline and accountability. Hurley, a Hall of Famer, ran what he called a "benevolent dictatorship" built on a non-negotiable contract that every player and parent had to sign, outlining expectations for everything from academics to practice effort.

2025/11/22

https://teachhoops.com/ The unengaged player is often a symptom of a simple problem: they feel they have no value. This feeling is almost always tied to a perceived lack of playing time or a poorly defined role. When a player believes their only purpose is to be a practice dummy for the starters, their effort will wane, their body language will sour, and their focus will drift. The first step to re-engaging them is to stop ignoring the problem and actively show them that their contribution is

Basketball Coach Unplugged (A Basketball Coaching... ·

2025/11/21

https://teachhoops.com/⁠ In basketball, the "less is more" philosophy directly translates to efficiency and poise. On offense, this means valuing shot quality over shot quantity, using fewer dribbles to get to a spot, and making the simple pass to the open teammate. Players who over-dribble often kill the team's offensive rhythm, allowing the defense to load up, while a quick, decisive player who uses one or two moves to create space is far more dangerous. A simple, well-executed play—like a

2025/11/19

https://teachhoops.com/ Dealing with team drama is one of the most challenging aspects of coaching, as unresolved conflict can destroy chemistry faster than any opponent. The most effective strategy is proactive: from the very first day of the season, a coach must establish and enforce a culture of respect, open communication, and selflessness. This involves setting clear, non-negotiable standards for how teammates talk to and about each other, defining roles so players understand their value beyond

Basketball Coach Unplugged (A Basketball Coaching... ·

2025/11/18

https://teachhoops.com/ A great practice plan is built on a consistent, time-based structural framework. While the drills may change daily, the flow and time allotted to each segment should remain familiar. Most successful practices are broken into key "blocks": a dynamic warm-up (often incorporating ball handling and finishing), individual/positional skill development (e.g., guard shooting drills, post-move work), team concepts (installing or reviewing offense, defense, or special plays), and a

2025/11/17

https://teachhoops.com/ The most effective way to communicate with basketball officials begins long before you have a complaint. Start by building a professional rapport; greet the crew by name before the game, be respectful, and ask if they have any points of emphasis. During the game, your goal is not to get a call overturned—it's to seek clarification or plant a seed for the future. You must pick your spots strategically: wait for a dead ball, a timeout, or a free throw. Never address an
