Be Quick But Don't Hurry



The coaches' assessment of game performance relates not so much to victory or defeat but really to how the game was played. As we have said many times, coaches want their team's performance to reflect their coaching philosophy.

Our philosophy will always include:

  • Teamwork
  • Aggressive individual defense
  • Help and recover team defense
  • Transition offense (fast break, favored by players and fans)
  • Player and ball movement
Among the reasons we coach is our love of the game of basketball and belief that we can make a difference. As we told the players, we did not win tonight not because of officiating or lack of effort, but because we did not play well enough, turning the ball over too much and not rebounding well enough. Both of these are team functions and responsibilities, that as a team we will correct.
