What Makes A Winning Team


The game is very simple and as Pete Newell said, "it is overcoached and undertaught." Here are a few things we believe that makes a winning team:
  • Be in condition--physically and mentally
  • Make FT's
  • Don't let the other team fast break you
  • Solid half-court defense
  • Keep the ball out of the middle 1/3.
  • Deny the ball to the post
  • Defensive rebounds--5 defenders block out 4 offensive players
  • Handle the ball well
  • Pass the ball well
  • Shot selection--take good shots to be good--great shots to be great
  • Offensive rebounds
  • Being a better player--take one charge per game; put my body on somebody on every shot; know my role as a passer; don't waste possessions by getting emotional; go everytime to the offensive boards
