Do the things you do well

Some have advanced the theory that all basketball players ought to do all basketball skills well, which is simply not a realistic opinion. A coach has to manage his game plan so that players are doing the things they do superlative well. You want your best defender on their best player. You want your rebounders down low so that they can rebound. You want your best passers and best ball handlers with the ball in their hands. And so forth.

This year one thing we need to do is to make sure our best FT shooters are getting to the line as much as possible. More so than last year. Particularly that means Josh Hagins and Gus Leeper, which means the coaches are going to have to teach them to be aggressive with the ball when the time is right to be aggressive.
