WHAT GETS TEAMS BEAT?

What's the #1 thing that gets teams beat?

Poor Shot Selection and Offensive Execution:

The best teams consistently work for and take high-percentage shots and are committed to passing up early, contested shots to find a teammate with an open one.

The best teams are committed to working together and are not hung up on "my" shot, understanding that every shot is "our" shot.

The best teams understand roles and have all five players on the court working hard to get open and be threats to score. The best teams understand that working hard to get a good open shot and taking it is not selfish. Taking bad shots, such as contested shots, off-balance shots or shots outside of your range, is selfish.

We want the “best” shot, not the first shot.

(Thanks Coach Cooley)
