Quotes:

“Everything we do is based on the individuals and the match-ups . . you’re not only looking at what the offense can and can’t do but what the defense can and can’t do against that offense.”

“My job as the coach is to help them not only continue to believe in themselves but challenge themselves to believe that they can do more.”

“Young guys come in with a definition of ‘I’m playing hard, Coach.’ Well . . you are for you, but not for us. So we’ve got to get you to that point.”

“My coaches believed in me and so I try to do that for my guys while holding them accountable.”

“You gain confidence through how hard you work, the things that you do, the attention to detail that it takes to be successful in games.”

“From an offensive perspective we try to get the other team in scramble as quickly as we can.”

“[Players] have to run . . every time whether you get the ball or not.”

“I try to make sure that our guys play well behind the 3-point line . . I want guys to be able to shoot from at least two feet behind the line and be shot ready.”

“I let them throw it ahead if they see something . . but I don’t want them just throwing it ahead and waiting on the ball to accept a ball screen. And they know the difference. I coach them on it.”

“We never want our ball to slow down. We call it ‘keeping it hot.’ . . We’re constantly working on driving the ball to the basket, stopping, pivoting, kicking . .”

“We have different actions we use when we throw it into the post and we’ll tell guys going into a specific game, ‘If and when we throw it in, this is what we’re doing.’ Obviously, if a guy has an advantage . . if he can catch and go finish, we want him to go do that.”

“A guy turns his head, that’s a great opportunity to cut . . If the [defensive] guy in the corner takes you on that cut . . it creates a little window to kick the ball out . . Teams that are more help-oriented are susceptible to that because they’re always in there helping a little bit more . . they’re not locking shooters.”

“We open practice every day with skill work opportunities . . our coaches will create situations our guys will see in a game or actions that we want to incorporate within our drive-and-kick offense.”

“It’s one thing to just say, ‘We just want to run motion, just move around and drive-and-kick in space’ but you have to give them some things you really want them to do.”
