Congratulations! You got the job. "Prove it" a good decision.
Director Ron Howard divides the actual process into three parts:
1) Development and preparation
2) Production
3) Editing - "The film is made in the editing room."
As the new chief, you own everything in your world. Here are some questions/thoughts.
- What is your basketball philosophy and how do you implement it? You might believe in playing fast and lack the athletes to do so. Or believe in the power game and have a deficit of size, strength, and finishing. How do you plan to match your philosophy with your resources?
- Presume that you don't have a cavalcade of stars. What's your developmental plan? How much of practice belongs to fundamentals, to small-sided-games, full court scrimmage, to offense or defense?
- Even more granular, what's your shooting improvement plan? How much of your offense do you expect inside, mid-range, and threes? Who are your three point shooters based on actual statistics? Do you have a range-testing plan and a range-expansion plan?
- Are analytics part of your plan? I'm not saying that they should or shouldn't be.
- Close and late. What are your best couple of BOB, SLOB, ATO, versus man and versus zone actions? Is it written down and shared with your team?
- What's your "personal improvement plan?"
I'm not judging you but plenty of others will.
