Leave an impression. Your play tells a story. Ken Burns gets hours to tell a story. You get minutes.
Maybe you didn't shoot in three minutes. Did you space, screen, cut, block out, rebound, play in a stance, get a deflection, talk, help on defense? Make your team harder to play against. What's your plan?
Impact the game. Coach Auriemma says that when he scouts a player, she should stand out within a minute. Remember what Coach Knight says, "just because I want you on the floor doesn't mean I want you to shoot."
Does your play speak lottery pick, first round choice, second rounder, or free agent? The best teams reveal strong players fitting together.

Does your play inspire trust by your coaches? Are you a basketball player or a hobbyist?
Lagniappe: Players need at least 'four ways to score'. Do you score in transition, offensive rebounding, catch-and-shoot, off the bounce, post ups, cutting, mid-range, perimeter, free throws?
Find what works for you. Remember Coach Wooden's EDIRx5 (explanation, demonstration, imitation, and repetition x 5).
Lagniappe 2: Defensive scramble.
Lagniappe 3: Do the unrequired work.Girls LOVED this today-1 of our fav SSGs. 3v3 Chaos. O1 rounds cone w/ ball. D1 rounds far cone. D2&3 talk & stop O. O1 reads/passes. O2 & O3 shoot, drive, or pass. Look for great ball mvmnt. All poss change = round any cone & D must round far cone. Score=new team comes in on D. pic.twitter.com/R7LJiPG0ZS— Glen McBride (@mcbride_glen) February 7, 2020
