Episode notes
Use IDPs To Build Buy In And Clear Roles
- Use Individual Development Plans to open honest dialogue about strengths, improvements, and each player's next-level goals.
- Ask players what they want from the G League so you can align roles with call-up, two-way, or overseas aspirations.
Train Decisions With Game‑Like Constraints
- Teach decision-making with game-like practice constraints and situational reps rather than rigid sets.
- Recreate scenarios (e.g., trap the box on a slot drive) so players learn the exact reads: attack rim, swing to wing, or hit the 45.
Spacing Enables Random Offense
- Good offense often emerges from random, well-spaced actions rather than scripted plays.
- Script practice to enforce spacing, then habit‑train players to find paint touches and next actions when spacing is imperfect.
