THOUGHTS FROM JAY BILAS ON COACH K FROM COACHING U LIVE

I took a few minutes to review some of my Coaching U Live notes from last summer -- one of the absolute best clinics I've ever attended -- and came across a couple of things that Jay Bilas learned from Coach Krzyzewski.

Jay spoke about Coach K constantly preaching that their next game was the most important one (ala Sue Gunter). Bilas learned to make what you do at that moment the most important thing.

Coach K on goals: NCAA Tournament, Final Four, Conference Championships aren’t goals – they are destinations. The primary goal for Duke is to get better and closer everyday as a team which reminds me so much of Nick Saban and his process oriented approach.
