Basketball

The JV high school basketball team I coach won by 1 point tonight on a bank half court shot at the buzzer. Truly ESPN Top 10 / movie worthy stuff. It was awesome. But there were still 4 seconds left when he shot it. So I told him after the post-game celebrations nice shot, but next time take it all the way to the rack.

dude I’m coaching varsity at a tiny ass rural hs this year…played ball all my life but never coached…we just took a tough L in a winnable game tn — finding it so hard to teach teenagers discipline, truly humbling win or lose!

peep this tho:

Who would have thought two high school basketball coaches here on Farcaster. That’s a great play by the shooter in the video, on a tough pass too.

This is my second season coaching this team (mostly new players this year) and I love it. I don’t really focus on discipline as much as getting max effort and positive attitudes with everyone supporting their teammates. I like a winning effort in a loss better than a poor effort for a win, not that I would know much about the latter, we are not good enough to get many wins with poor efforts haha.

We play tough defense with a full court press and 2-3 zone and push the ball on offense to try to score as much as possible in the fast break. I don’t teach offensive set. We don’t even have an inbounds play. I’d rather focus and get great at a very few things than try to do too much. It’s worked fairly well in 2 seasons.
