Coaching “catch phrases”

• Catch phrases are important! It’s layed out pretty clear in my notes on the book “Culture Code”. The best companies all have them. Here are some good one’s I’ve come across for coaching

• Defense (WV Press clinic)
  • Ball pressure comes first. Work it every day. If you play hard and have ball pressure good things happen.
  • Trapping defense
    • Interceptor “read the ball-handlers shoulders”
    • Take chances, but take calculated chances
    • Once the ball handler starts goin away from the basket, start reading eyes. Take chances!

• Offense
  • Ball needs to move hip to hip on jabs
  • Pound the last dribble before your shot

• Transition offense catch-phrases (CY from FSU)
  • Score before the concrete gets hard.
  • Win the first 3 steps.
  • Race to check-points
  • A slip is a automatic tail drive

• Recruiting
  • Are they high energy, high character, and are they a gym rat – CY from FSU said something like that
