Episode notes
Rotate Early, Decide Late
- Rotate players equitably: equal minutes in first three quarters, then use the fourth to win when needed.
- Avoid playing the same five every game; evaluate players in varied situations.
Pick For The Long Game
- Select young players with a long-term projection, not just current dominance.
- Use consistent criteria across age groups to identify future-ready athletes.
Use Tournaments To Reposition Players
- Let kids play unfamiliar positions to reveal broader skills and potential.
- Southern Cross allows role experimentation which aids identification and development.
