THE SOUNDS OF A GOOD PRACTICE

Last spring I posted a blog of hearing Buzz Williams speak and his thoughts on what a good practice would "sound" like.  He had some great thoughts about it and you can re-read the post at:

We spoke to our team about it last week and asked them to compile a list of what a good practice would sound like and here are some of their thoughts:

◄High fives being given

◄Coaches saying “good job”

◄Positive phrases from teammates like “good job” and “keep it up”

◄Hands clapping

◄Shoes squeeking

◄Constructive criticism from teammates

◄Hearing the net when we shoot free throws

◄Echo yells

◄Defensive talk “I got ball,” “I’ve got your help,” “

◄Coaches not repeating themselves

◄Leaders giving direction

◄Calling out who you are screening for

◄Calling out your cut
