Exactly!!! When players are coached by “Old-School Coaches” they don’t necessarily like it BUT when they become adults ….. They brag about “When I played”!
People call us “Old School Coaches.” You mean like: Be on time, Do your job, close out, box out, shout out, run out, help on “D?” Give 100% on every rep? Thanks, We’ll take that!

Players & Parents Please read this as we start the new basketball season! Parents when your sons/daughters start taking coaching personal, whining, etc. Be a Parent and tell them to be coachable!
Uncoachable vs. Coachable:
Uncoachable players:
-Take it personally
-Feel they’re being singled out
-Become very defensive
Coachable players:
-Open to feedback/criticism
-Want to be coached
-See it as a way to get better
