Behad: Coaching Discussion

Ours is a lot shorter. We play eight games then a tournament. We don't play our first game till Jan. 6th.

My 6-7 co-ed is mostly for fun and to teach the game. I really don't know how they will do, because I don't know the rest of the league.

8-9 boys team is...well...um....they try hard. I lost my best ball handler to the YMCA league, so now I have a team of rebounders and shooters with no one to get the ball to them. I have been pushing defense hard with this team, cuz they ain'y gonna score alot.

Now my 10-11 boys...They ROCK!! I see championship all over this team. Everyone knows their roles and perform them perfectly. My point guard had a hard time last year understanding how to not force a shot, but to pass to the open man instead. This year, during our first scrimmage, it all clicked for him. Now I can't get him to take a shot! It's all good though, because my shooters are unbelievable. I already have other coaches in the league talking scared. Add to this mix a new box-and-1 zone I have them running, and they are TOUGH. I can't wait!


Thanks for the offer, but this is my fifth year and the kids all know my routines. I'll update you when the season starts. I wish we had more games, but gym time is really hard to come by. There are three leagues competing for gyms and players here, so everyone is limited.
