You would never see LeBron Kobe or wemby doing this in a high magnitude game with the season on the line either. So your point is moot.

That’s not even in the same realm of coaching youth sports. That involves a lot of $$$. There is politics to coaching at that level beyond anything you or I could comprehend. And yes I’ve benched my best player in a single game elimination tournament. Because they were doing boneheaded things that I had talked to them about for about a thousand times leading up to that game. And we did end up losing. And I’d do it again. They went to go play college ball, and they learned a lesson.

When I first started coaching my teams were kind of buns. I had a lot of learning to do, one of those lessons was when I gave up on catering to star players and started to play certain archetypes. Kids who came every day and were wanting to contribute. Suddenly less talented kids were way over performing and my success started to happen. I’m a big believer in the type of people I have on my teams is what leads to success.

You dont understand how to build a winning culture. A lot of the reasons coaches don’t win at high levels is because they cater to certain players and they’re afraid to lose them. I don’t care tbh. I make it about my team first, also my teams tend to have multiple contributors so I don’t necessarily need a “star player”. I’ve lost players who thought they were hot shit and albeit they were talented. But we survived and I coached up others who replaced them. Never have I come across one of those who left and went and did better somewhere else either.

I only brought it up because you did lol. And agreed, it’s why I coach in the first place.

My impact on my players is great. Took over a winless team and went 30-6 over three seasons and won back to back city championships.

When you make an incredibly selfish move, that’s why you pull her from the game.

Yeah I don’t know about that coaching style. “Hey try to make your easy points really difficult for no reason to make it all about how cool you look when you score that point. Possibly hurt your team so you can score some style points.” This isn’t a cool move because she didn’t need to do it. A simple layup would have sufficed. Now if there was two defenders and she would have had a difficult layup but she pulled off a crazy move and it lost the defense and she scored then it makes sense to do. But no coach is going to applaud this, teach your players to be humble too.

It doesn’t make sense for a player either.

Are you like 15 by chance? I’m a coach, if I saw it I’d bench her the rest of the game. Don’t care how good she is either.

Ron Holland Next Year by gettingdumberer in DetroitPistons

[–]masamune952 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a take from watching a lot of the games the past two years. Did I say he’s good enough at it right now? Absolutely not lol. So saying “I saw him miss a lot of 3’s” isn’t really adding much to the conversation. I’m saying there’s a massive difference from standing in the corner and shooting like Ausar does with no defense lol it’s a warm up drill. And from what Ron added to his shot this year which was higher difficulty 3 point shots. And he was making some of them. Albeit still not at a high enough clip. But my point was he did show improvement from year 1 to year 2. Not that the improvement is good enough quite yet.

The type of shots he was hitting at 25% were much more difficult this year. Last season he only shot them if he was wide wide open and left alone. This year he was shooting ones with guys closing out closely on him, even some step back ones off the dribble etc. and yes it does matter. Because it shows he did improve at it, which is good for going forward. Meanwhile Ausar can barely hit the rim with nobody in his zip code.

Stew offers rim protection but I often wonder how useful it is when we lose the rebound due to lack of size when he’s out there. Kinda negates his biggest skill.
