On-court discipline

The way to get players to play like you want them to play is very simple. Kids want to get on the court; that is the "pay day" in basketball; that is the great motivator. That is how the coach gets them to play his way: if they do not do it right, then they do not do it. Play the wrong way, and out you come. Chris Beard used that method with great success. Don't yell at them; don't glower at them; yank them out and sit them down for a little while. If you don't play right, you don't play.
