He’s got 30 min of practice, 1/3 of his team can’t dribble a ball and another third isn’t coachable.


Sometimes you just gotta work with what you’ve got…

I'd love to spend more time on fundamentals with the team and even individually but that's just impossible with the time constraints.


I probably focused too much on calling the offense 5 out but ultimately, I just want something that spaces things out as much as possible for the best players to go to work. But also, for the 1st 3 quarters or so before winning time, I don't want the lesser kids never doing anything but standing in the corner, so I need a balance of simple but not doing nothing.

I like the idea of letting the lesser kids do more of the screening. Gets them involved but also allows the better kids to be the ones cutting off ball.
