https://teachhoops.com/https://teachhoops.com/ In this episode, we map out a 10-day sprint that gives your team a clear identity fast. Each day targets one lever—shot selection language, first-six-seconds in transition, on-ball containment, glass rules, advantage finishing, ball-screen coverage, late-game organization, turnover fixes, role clarity, and communication. You’ll get the cue words to teach, the constraint game to run, and the single metric to track so the habit sticks under pressure. We also share a 90-minute practice template that keeps the teaching tight and the reps game-real: a short demo block, a small-sided game that forces the habit, a conversion game that layers the next read, and a scrimmage with constraints so the behavior shows up or the possession doesn’t count. You’ll learn how to assign purposeful bench jobs (shot-quality, glass contest, comms checker), give assistants a one-page plan, and make progress visible with a simple scoreboard review. By Day 10, you should see three signals: fewer worst-shot attempts, organized first-six-seconds on defense (rim and elbows protected), and calm end-of-quarter possessions. We close with a rinse-and-repeat plan—keep the same cues, swap the small-sided games, and add one layer of pressure—so the sprint scales with your season. If you’re ready to turn minutes into wins, this framework will get you moving today. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
