arizona basketball beaten earned game last meant played slowly state team toughness worst
We earned last place. The team slowly eroded, and we played our worst basketball at the end of the season. The game meant something to Arizona State. They wanted it, and we didn't. We don't have the toughness to play 40 minutes, and Arizona State could have beaten us by 40.
basketball looked miserable played prove shooting team throwing trying
We played miserable basketball in the first half. We looked like a team trying to prove it could be a 94-foot (end-to-end) team -- throwing one-handed passes, shooting on the fly.
arizona basket coached collapsed great team teams
They collapsed under the basket (on defense) better than any Arizona team that I've coached against. That's something all great teams have.
basketball team coaching
What does this program/team need this week?
basketball player coaching
What you specifically teach is what your players will do best.
basketball coaching defense
We teach offense 5-0/5-5 (whole method) and defense by part (1-1/3-3).
basketball successful coaching
For us to be successful on defense, we must get back and stop the basketball, eliminate easy baskets, keep the ball out of the lane, and bother the shooters.
basketball team kids
Players who are committed to the team first will find a way to help when things are going bad, they will do whatever it takes. Kids that are more into themselves will not do that. They will take care of themselves and get more individual when things are tough.
basketball philosophy frustration
Most of my learning and philosophy regarding coaching basketball was developed after great frustration.
basketball real team
I concluded some time ago that a major part of success of a team, or of an individual, has a great deal to do with the intangible qualities possessed. The real key is in how a person see himself (humility), how he feels about what he does (passion), how he works with others (unity), how he makes others better (servanthood), and how he deals with frustration and success, truly learning from each situations (thankfulness). I believe those concepts are the essence of a good player, team, coach, or individual in any capacity in life.
basketball practice coaching
Practice to beat the best.
basketball victory defeat
We cannot accept in victory what we would not accept in defeat.
basketball good love playing seeing team
I love good basketball and I haven't been seeing it in my team. If I am to end it this year, I just want my team to go out playing good ball.
answer miss touches
We just had no answer for the big kid. He doesn't miss once he touches the ball.
