PRACTICE:

I believe that most of the teaching and preparing is done in practice and the games are the adjusting of what you have worked on that week. 

I am a big believer in intense practices where everyone has high energy and is enthusiastic. I feel a shorter high intense practice is much more beneficial than a long drawn out less intentional practice. Games are played at an intense level, and I think you play like you practice.

I want practices to have as much live playing as possible. Players learn by doing and playing against a live offense and defense. Practices will allow players to compete in a game like environment on a daily basis. Certain situations will require skill breakdowns, but we are always going to use our practice time on things that will directly translate to being successful in games. 

I will spend part of every practice working on situational basketball. I believe that if the players are comfortable and know what to do in certain situations, the success rate is much higher in those special situations. 

We will make the weight room a priority as well as individual skill development. Practice is the most important aspect of any championship program. We will compete on a daily basis and put our players in many different situations to help them grow in all aspects of the game. Players will get feedback and graded after workouts. Each player will be held accountable for their effort through our impact point system and competitive cauldron.
