Coaching High School and College Basketball

As a high school (or higher) basketball coach, you will face some very difficult challenges...

You are expected to win! Or start winning very soon.

You have to deal with difficult parents.

You have to decide who gets playing time and who gets cut.

You face every type of defense imaginable -- zone, man, box and 1, full court press, match up zone, and the list goes on.

You're expected to serve as a positive role model.

You inherit players with horrible fundamentals and it's your job to fix them in a few weeks.

You only have a few weeks at the beginning of every season to teach your players an impossible amount of information.

You watch film.

You analyze stats.

You deal with the media.

You deal with administration.

You need to find quality time for your own family.

FACT: You, as a basketball coach, have a huge list of challenges and obstacles to overcome. The purpose of this site is to help you overcome those challenges and become a better coach.

Some of the tips we share were discovered in the business world because business owners face the same challenges as a coach. You're both stretched TOO thin!

Some of the tips were learned from experience and many of the tips were learned from other coaches.
