Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 21: Season 6, Episode 21-Alan Bishop- You Got to Be Able to Adapt
Q: Who would you want to hear from next on the podcast?
Tim Karen was suggested as a potentially insightful guest for exploring coaching perspectives and off-ramps in the career path, along with Vinny Coletti for broadening discussions about different programs and environments.
Episode 21: Season 6, Episode 21-Alan Bishop- You Got to Be Able to Adapt
Q: What's the core philosophy behind adapting training for different athletes and situations without losing the program's identity?
Develop a flexible training framework anchored by a strong why, then tailor the specifics to each athlete's needs while preserving core principles like technique, transfer, and accountability.
Episode 21: Season 6, Episode 21-Alan Bishop- You Got to Be Able to Adapt
Q: This portal combat is real now, right? And you'd be fooling yourself to think otherwise—how do you manage that reality with your players?
The approach is to keep relationships strong, build trust, and ensure players see the program's value beyond the next contract; stay proactive, set clear expectations, and maintain open lines of communication to protect and develop the players while navigating transfers.
Episode 20: Season 6 Episode 19-Bri Brown- Methods May Change But Principles Always Direct You
Q: What are the ways or approaches you've taken to educate your athletes on the why? And have there ever been times you thought you were doing it but missed the boat?
Bri explains that education is a daily, ongoing process rooted in clear, simple explanations of why each movement is performed, along with the standards and tempo used. She emphasizes drawing from mentors to frame training as teaching, using progressions and open conversations to help athletes understand the relevance of training to their basketball performance, and ensuring athletes can articulate the rationale behind exercises. She notes that younger female athletes especially benefit from explicit context, and that consistent, reasoned communication leads to better buy-in and performance.
Episode 18: Season 6 Episode 17- Anthony Cockrill- Training is training, the sport is the application
Q: How do you differentiate jump progressions across positions?
There isn't a position-specific progression; we train the players as humans and let the skill on the court determine how they use the physical structures, since the stretch-shortening cycle applies universally.
