www.TeachHoops.com | www.DrDishBasketball.com | www.SportStories.ai In this episode of Coach Unplugged, Hall-of-Fame coach Steve Collins shares why most basketball practices aren’t too long — they’re just too inefficient. He walks through five powerful changes that can instantly make your team sharper, faster, and more competitive: Start every drill with intent and purpose. Shorten segments to keep players locked in. Make every rep game-like with pressure and decisions. Film practice to eliminate dead time. Always finish with competition to simulate late-game pressure. You’ll also hear a personal story from Coach Collins on how trimming just ten minutes transformed his team’s energy and focus. Whether you coach youth, high-school, or college hoops, this episode gives you practical steps you can use tomorrow.
