It’s National Females in Sports Day! I’ve had the good fortune to coach women’s basketball for 30 yrs. and would like to thank all the great people/players I’ve coached for their dedication, commitment, and love of the game, not as female athletes, but rather, just, ATHLETES!!

Most coaches want to see how players interact with them on and off court, how they handle their coaching style, interact with new teammates, how quickly they pick things up, etc. Also they may like 2-3 kids at a certain position and the in person eval helps finalize decisions!

Why is a championship winning coach on Twitter asking for help when he’s already winning?……..Cause that’s why he’s winning😎
🏀🗣…
Coaches - teams are products of how we spend time our time!
What’s a typical practice breakdown for your program?
How much do you spend shooting/skill, O, D, situational, breakdown SSGs, 5v5?
