I'm in my last semester of getting my degree in elementary education and every day I see the similarities between being in a classroom and being on a basketball court. I have to ask you, what are you teaching? Are you teaching the fundamentals of the game? Or are you teaching kids to run a play. Can your kids make plays out of plays? I heard Seth Greenberg, coach of VA Tech, who just upset Wake Forest last night, say that in a DVD. I want to teach kids how to be successful when things are not going as perfect as they should. I want them to be prepared with the fundamentals to play the game of basketball for the rest of their life.
One last question.
When your time is up with your current players, will they be able to play a pick-up game in a park somewhere 200 miles away and be able to be successful? I don't mean successful as in win. But in a way that others can tell that they fully understand the game of basketball inside and out.
Here's a clip from Bob Knight that might help.
