  • Ep 320 Optimizing Practice Time: Effective Drills and Player Development in High School Basketball

    Ep 320 Optimizing Practice Time: Effective Drills and Player Development in High School Basketball
    Oct 9 2024
    https://teachhoops.com/ Welcome to another episode of High School Hoops, hosted by Steve Collars from the 5th Quarter Studio in Madison, Wisconsin. Today, Steve is joined by Coach Tom Cannon to discuss optimizing practice time with effective drills and modern coaching techniques. Introduction and Personal Background The episode kicks off with casual banter about lawn care, reflecting the off-season nature of their recording. Coach Tom Cannon, who has extensive coaching experience, shares insights from his practices and experiences. Main Discussion: Wasted Drills and Modern Coaching Approaches The core topic is the concept of "wasted drills" and the shift towards more game-like, play-based training. The conversation explores the balance between traditional drills and modern coaching methods. Key Points: Debate on Drills: The term "drills" has become somewhat controversial in modern coaching circles. While some advocate for a play-based approach, Steve and Tom emphasize the importance of drills for fundamental skills. Game-Based Learning: Modern coaching trends favor short-sided games and in-play learning to develop skills in a more realistic context. However, this approach might not address specific deficiencies in a team's abilities. Balancing Both Approaches: Steve and Tom agree that while game-based learning is valuable, drills are necessary for teaching specific skills and preparing for certain game situations. For instance, a team must practice defending against specific plays, which requires drilling. Examples and Practical Applications Steve and Tom share practical examples from their coaching experiences, highlighting the need for creativity and flexibility in practice planning. Key Points: Rebounding Drills: Tom emphasizes that rebounding is more about effort and feel than structured drills. However, Steve suggests incorporating situational drills to improve rebounding instincts, such as varying shooter positions and requiring rebounds without the ball hitting the floor. Specific Skill Sets: Preparing for games against strong opponents (like North Carolina vs. Duke) requires focusing on specific skill sets, such as closing out shooters or handling out-of-bounds plays. This preparation can't be fully achieved through game-based learning alone. Efficient Practice Planning: Both coaches discuss the importance of mapping out the season and planning practices to maximize efficiency. This includes incorporating both traditional drills and modern techniques to ensure comprehensive player development. Conclusion and Coaching Philosophy Steve and Tom conclude by emphasizing the need for a balanced approach in coaching. While it's crucial to adopt innovative methods, traditional drills still play an essential role in building a strong foundation for the team. Key Points: Avoiding Overcoaching: Coaches should avoid overcoaching and allow players the freedom to develop their instincts and make decisions during games. Adapting to Team Needs: Each team is different, and coaches must adapt their strategies based on the team's specific strengths and weaknesses. Flexibility and responsiveness are key to effective coaching. Importance of Fundamentals: No matter how advanced the coaching techniques become, the fundamentals of basketball remain critical. Drills help reinforce these basics, ensuring that players are well-rounded and prepared for any situation. Thank you for joining us on this insightful episode of High School Hoops.

    Oct 2 2024
    https://teachhoops.com/ Welcome to another episode of High School Hoops! Today, we're discussing the crucial topic of managing a high school basketball team when you have a standout player. Our guest is Coach Tom Cannon, assistant varsity coach at Hawthorne High School in New Jersey. With 12 years of experience in AAU, travel rec, and high school basketball, Coach Cannon offers valuable insights into this dynamic. Introduction and Personal Background Coach Cannon has a rich coaching history, including a decade with high school girls' teams and two years with boys' teams. He is also an avid sports card collector, a unique aspect of his life outside basketball. The Role of a Star Player A significant theme of our discussion was the influence of a star player on a team. We explored how such a player can affect team dynamics and the coach's approach. Key Points: Talent and Work Ethic Alignment: When the best player is also the hardest worker, it sets a positive standard for the team, elevating everyone's performance. Power Dynamics and Challenges: A star player can shift the team’s power dynamics, requiring careful management to maintain harmony. Simplifying the Game: Coaches should avoid overcoaching and allow the star player to lead, especially in critical game moments. Adapting Coaching Strategies Coach Cannon shared his experiences with different star players, highlighting both the benefits and challenges they bring. Key Points: Positive Impact Players: These players inspire their teammates and make coaching easier. Challenging Star Players: Some star players may create friction, requiring strategic and psychological management. Team Roles and Adjustments: Helping other players understand their roles is crucial for team success. Handling Key Moments and Responsibilities The conversation covered managing critical game moments and balancing coaching intervention with player autonomy. Key Points: Trusting the Star Player: In high-stakes situations, trusting the star player to make decisions is crucial. Supporting Cast Performance: Championships often hinge on the contributions of the supporting cast, making their readiness vital. System vs. Player: Coaches must balance structured plays with flexibility to maximize the star player’s strengths. Coaching Philosophy and Best Practices To conclude, Coach Cannon shared his coaching philosophy and best practices for managing a team with a star player. Key Points: Overcoaching Pitfalls: Avoid overcoaching to allow the star player space to excel. Developing All Players: Focusing on the development of all team members ensures a balanced and resilient team. Long-term Success: Building a team where everyone understands their role contributes to long-term success, especially during injuries and foul troubles. Conclusion Our discussion with Coach Cannon highlighted the need for balance, strategic insight, and flexibility when managing a team with a star player. The goal is to create an environment where the star player can shine without overshadowing the team’s collective contributions. Whether you're an experienced coach or new to the game, these insights offer valuable lessons in team dynamics and player management.
