T.J. Rosene's Coaching Clinics lecture shares inputs affecting offensive and defensive outcomes.
(Tables from T.J. Rosene)
1. Everybody rule. (Write on whiteboard) What qualities made a teammate admired? Intangibles. How many players want to be that guy? Do I have the right to hold you to do that?
2. Permission to Level Up. Results are only as good as players. Do you want me to coach you as a high school player or as a higher level player? This reminds me of the Urban Meyer 10-80-10 rule...drag some "mid level" players into elite status.
3. Not yet rule. It takes time. Think trust the process. Or Popovich's "pound the rock"...you can't skip steps. When I was in the Navy, there was a terrible accident on the USS Iowa. A retired Filippino gunner's mate in his 80s told me, "you can't just give eighteen year-olds some powder bags and shells and tell 'em to shoot the gun." Model excellence and patience.
4. Doc Holliday Habit. "If you're going to pull 'em, be ready to use 'em." Don't dribble to dribble; use it as weapon.
5. Wayne Gretzky Habit. "I skate to where the puck is going to go, not where it has been." Purposeful movement is everything.
6. The Denzel Habit. "Pressure is a facade. Peek, Power, and POOP are the weapons." (See, Be Strong, PIVOT OUT OF PRESSURE.)
7. Post ROI Rule. Can they help us win from the block? Could be passing as much as shooting.
8. Puncture Rule. Hard to guard teams that control the middle offensively. How we get paint entry doesn't matter as much as getting it there. For symmetry, defense has to win the middle.
9. 7's Rule. Understand shot selection. Levels 1-10, there is no 10 (perfect shot) or 1; discuss 3-5-7-9. 3rd grade shots lose. 9s are great shots and obvious. 5s are so-so; get 7s. In range, in rhythm, with room. Get 7s to win.
10. Habit of Clarity. Clarity = fearlessness. When players don't understand, that's ultimately on us.
11. Habit of Vulnerability. Share vulnerability to understand nobody is perfect. Players need to have a degree of freedom.
12. Habit of extreme ownership. Navy SEAL Jocko Willink (summary) is the champion of extreme ownership. "It's always the fault of the better player." The better player is the one ultimately responsible and wants that position of excellence. Claim the title of best and own accountability.
"A true leader takes 100% ownership of everything in his domain, including the outcome and everything that affects it. This is the most fundamental building block of leadership that cuts across all other principles. It applies to leadership at any level, in any organization." - Jocko Willink, Extreme Ownership
