Power up. 

"Nothing works unless you do." 

"Do the unrequired work."

"Champions do extra." - James Kerr, in Legacy

"Old men grow great by planting trees in whose shade they will never sit." - Greek Proverb

When given an opportunity to improve, "say yes." Little frustrates coaches more than hosting workouts with almost nobody showing. 

"Never cheat the drill." 

"Do five more." - Dan Pink  (Read or write five more pages. Do five more sprints or reps. Make five more calls.)

"Always do your best." - Don Miguel Ruiz in The Four Agreements

"You can run with the big dogs or sit on the porch." 

"Are you investing your time or spending it?" - Nick Saban 

Lagniappe. I believe this interview informs value. 

• The illusion of choice
• Develop relationships.
• Finish. "It's about what you're willing to do."
• Communicate individually.
• Value second chances.
• Trust the process. 
• Set standards for yourself. 

 Lagniappe 2. Screening. 

5 Screening Details:

1) Pace

- The speed in which you are moving into and out of the screen.

2) Angle

- The direction the screener is sending the cutter/BH’er.

3) Location

- The location of the screen will determine how much floor space will be available after the screen.

4) Physicality

- The level of contact the screener makes with the on ball or cutter’s defender. This will determine the amount of separation the BH’er or cutter will have AFTER using the screen.

5) Early “Peek”

- The screeners ability to get their eyes over their shoulder.
