  • Getting an Engaging Basketball Bench

    Excellent subject that coaches deal with during the course of a game and season. I like what was mentioned about giving players roles on the bench while cheering on the successes of their teammates. It is a numbers game as you want to keep players who are engaged and know their specific role on the team. This subject needs to be addressed more often. Thank you for this episode.

  • Where is Calistoga??

    I’m a first time coach starting next week for St Eugene’s 8th grade basketball in Santa Rosa and found this podcast in attempt to prepare for the season. In just two episodes I’ve listened to, I have soaked up a ton of good information.

    Side note:

    Calistoga is in Napa County, 25 min east of me. Fyi, French Laundry is overrated.

Ep 1939 Are You Ready to Move Your Program Interview with Coach Klein (Part 2)
Q: What are the rules for your off-season in this program, and how do you structure contact with players when contacts are allowed?
There are essentially no strict rules; the approach is to be there as much as possible with open communication, while recognizing periods where contact is restricted. This flexibility is balanced by a commitment to ongoing workouts and development as players are available and the school allows it.
