As a young coach, I was all about writing down the plays…my schemes were heavy on taking plays away. What I learned from Geno was to be more focused on concepts…are they a ball screen team…a cutting team…work on defending concepts.

One thing that’s made me a better teacher is post practice eval:
1. Take notes during on plan
2. Use dictaphone
3. Always watch practice video
Always pick up something on video I didn’t see during practice.

Red — to do for tomorrow
