โ€œBasketball trainersโ€ be teaching their players how to do 10 moves in one spot. Work on the fundamentals, work on the simplicity of the game. Teach footwork, beating defenders off minimal moves and dribbles. You donโ€™t get extra points for being fancy.

Coaches, practice what you preach to your players. You preach body language, positivity, better responses to mistake. But you practice poor body language, flail your arms when a player does something wrong, complain to the refs, and use a negative tone of voice when addressing.
