Hi Savi team. I've recently gotten into debated regarding Coach & Player dynamics in today's world (As we know, today's generation of kids are different with social media and how they interact with authority. With the context that everyone's situation is different. Here are my questions. 1) What are your thoughts on Coaches playing online video games with their players- Assistants specifically. 2) What are your thoughts on Coaches taking a select few players to outings- Grabbing lunch, going to the mall, going to other games together, etc. Not as a team- only with "their guys" 3) If you were a Head Coach, and your staff was participating in things like this, how would you approach it? Part of the debate is that Coach-Player relationship can sometimes be stronger with this dynamic as it builds trust and rapport, while another side of the debate was that it blurs lines and that accountability becomes harder to enforce.

Love the coaches personality test! Something to consider??? Making another test for Head Coaches to fill out about their assistant coaches, to see if their perspective of them matches what they got on their own test. Thoughts?

Hey All, you get to be some of the first to take part in this Coach Personality test. I am sure the experience will be informative, and we want feedback. Do you think it's accurate? What did you learn? What did we miss? Are any questions confusing or need work? Click here to take it and enjoy!

Hello fellow coaches. Just a coach here who’s seeking some type of answers. Started off the year 5-0. 2nd leading scorer gets hurt and has missed the passed 7 games. We are now on a 5 game losing streak. Without bias, I can honestly say we have beat ourselves in each of every one of the losses. My best player, when the ball is out of his hands, no one can seem to produce or get a quality look. I’ve tried Rose series, and a couple other flowing sets with good spacing but offensively guys just stand there and have no sense of urgency on cuts, screens, etc.. Getting out rebounded every game off pure effort and lack of pursuit. Have tried different drills, different approaches, and me and and my staff cannot seem to light a spark under these guys. Our defensive intensity will look great at times and others hand down, dead silent, no real activity. It’s like something took the air right out of my team and we are beating ourself up trying to figure it out. Has anyone gone through this ? What has worked for you? Practice intensity we have to BEG them to give max effort.

Morning fellow coaches! How many do you usually keep? I’ve kept anywhere between 13 & 15 and there’s pros and cons to any number. I’ve got 12 locked ( 5 seniors). I’ve got a surprise bigger body who isn’t your typical basketball player but is very physical down low (out of shape though). And I have 3 juniors who played JV the past 2 years but they would all be at the end of my bench. So if I kept 15 one of them would have to go. Any thoughts on this type of thing coaches?
