"I think it is important that coaches from around the country have a chance to visit Flagstaff and Northern Arizona," said NAU Head Coach Jack Murphy. "It is a great time to visit and talk a little hoops. I have been fortunate in my career to be around some great coaches and have some great friends in the business. They are coming together to support what we are trying to build here at NAU. They are giving back to me on a personal level, but I think they are giving back to all the coaches who will attend as well. We all have a passion for the game of basketball and it is conveyed in many different ways. When we all congregate together is when real learning and sharing gets done."]]> Northern Arizona University Men's Basketball Coaching Basketball Tue, 18 Jun 2013 15:59:11 -0500 http://www.basketballcoach.com/coaching/read.php?2,9173,9173#msg-9173 http://www.basketballcoach.com/coaching/read.php?2,9173,9173#msg-9173

I analyze the move from careers as something that isn't attainable and end up talking myself out of it. Not to a sense of giving up, but maybe losing interest. Does that mean I really don't want to do it? Is it too hard to get into? Or am I not talking to the right people to keep that spirit alive? But...this time I did something.

I have registered to complete my Coaching Certification at my local community college. I have taken my thought, made a plan, and acted on it. I have a Bachelor's Degree, but in a completely different field. I have tons of work experience. I'm a Police Officer and worked in the Restaurant Industry for 13 years. I also volunteer as a mentor to students at the University in my town.

I understand the need to start as an Assistant Coach for a middle school or high school. But, do I really need a degree in Education/Teaching? Can I still pursue this career change with the experience, education, and volunteering I have already done? I'm in my early/mid 30's and believe this is the time to make that change and go for it...I played basketball in High School and continue to play pick-up games, but never in college as I worked full-time. I'm passionate about basketball, Men's or Women's, doesn't matter...it's all about unity.

I don't have a coaching philosophy, or an in-depth knowledge of plays to run, but I do know how to relate to kids and inspire character. I have honest and genuine sincerity with living life to it's fullest every day. Is that all that is needed? Can I still pursue this career change and make it without a fancy degree or collegiate level playing experience?

I would love any and all feedback from anyone who can contribute to someone who wants to make a career change...]]> NOVA Coaching Basketball Tue, 26 Mar 2013 03:37:09 -0500 http://www.basketballcoach.com/coaching/read.php?2,9039,9039#msg-9039 http://www.basketballcoach.com/coaching/read.php?2,9039,9039#msg-9039

Question 1) When hiring your staff, did you have complete control from 5th grade on up? Did you specifically tell them what they must run? Both coaches I have coached under were pretty hand's off.

Question 2) Do you feel it is more important to have the "better" basketball coach as a Varsity Assistant or JV Head coach. We currently have 3 coaches for 9-12 (JV Head, Varsity Head, Varsity Assistant).

Question 3) I'm confident and ready for this next step in my journey. I have coached almost a decade of JV ball under two very different but both successful coaches (including the current one who coached me when I played) and am convinced I'm ready to take over the reigns. However, I'm wondering if any of you have had any experience taking over for a beloved and celebrated coach as I will with a long record of accomplishments and such an amazing track record? I'm worried that I will forever be compared to "him", no matter what happens, good or bad. I know this WILL happen and I am responsible because I did come back to my alma mater but this is town where I live and I work in the HS so it was too good to pass up. Just wondering if this has happened to anyone else.

Thanks and keep winning,

My issue is that we have had to make many adjustments and have had to go through so much change and now this will be another change that could cause the team to give up. I don't know what to do, how can I keep them motivated? I feel like I'm being sabotaged by the varsity coaches and I'm frustraited and upset because we only have three games left and the varsity has no chance at a playoff berth. Why blow up the JV team like this? It makes no sense to me. Can anyone try to put this in perspective because I can't.]]> Senjin Coaching Basketball Wed, 30 Jan 2013 07:55:36 -0600 http://www.basketballcoach.com/coaching/read.php?2,8933,8933#msg-8933 http://www.basketballcoach.com/coaching/read.php?2,8933,8933#msg-8933
Ive tried to tell the two kids every time they penetrate, it brings up the defenders from the post, and leaves my low kids wide open. My PG is the tallest kid on the court, but he still holds the ball in his chest rather than over his head and it leads to turnovers and tie balls. We played one of the two good teams this weekend, and he did a better job in the 1st half of making quicker passes down low and we got the shots. But as the game wore on he went back to throwing up bad shots, or turning his back and passing to defended kids.

Being 1st graders, all weve worked on is basics these two years and just have an offensive set. Our post season starts next week and we only have three practices left. So I was wondering if theres anything I can do in the next week to help him get the passes down there and really focus on that. Weve done some 3 on 3 scrimmage drills that focus on him making the pass after the penetrates is about it. After getting hammered all last year in kindergarten; I would like to get the boys a trophy this season! So if theres any kind of drills I can run, or anything to help him, that would be great!]]> Sooner Ray Coaching Basketball Mon, 28 Jan 2013 00:10:44 -0600 http://www.basketballcoach.com/coaching/read.php?2,8921,8921#msg-8921 http://www.basketballcoach.com/coaching/read.php?2,8921,8921#msg-8921 I need suggestions, feedback, anything!
