Here are a few notes I complied from ESPN basketball analyst Jimmy Dykes.1. Coaches want "Everyday" Players. Play hard every possession. Go to class every day. Do the right thing all of the time.
2. Coaches must look at themselves first after game. What did I not get done to prepare?
3. If you are not tough, you will not win consistently! Get loose balls. Refuse to get screened. Don't let one mistake compound.
4. If you can't talk it-You can't execute it.
5. You must score consistently from 3 areas: Free throw line. Around the basket Open shots
6. Quality of our shots vs. quality of our opponent's shots determines W's and L's
7. Cut with a purpose. Cut like you are going to get the ball!
8. Must shoot 30% or better from the 3 point line.
9. It's not the number of plays you run, it's how well you run them that matters. Execution is everything.
10. Great players embrace contact and get through it. They make plays regardless.
11. Protect against straight line drives to the basket. Guard your yard.
12. Contain the ball in the middle third of the floor.
13. Communicate on all ball screens
14. Any form of selfishness must leave. It can't be tolerated! On Court. Off court
15. Substitutions. Trust their effort. Trust their memory. Trust their talent.
16. Emphasize who you are every practice and every game. Create and maintain an identity
17. Everything in your program is either taught or it's allowed.
18. Fix problems immediately. Don't let something small turn into something big.
19. Work them as hard as you are willing to love them.
20. Hold everyone in your program accountable for everything they do. Yourself. Staff. Players
I have learned that faith means trusting in advance, what only makes sense in reverse.
