Ep 2044 Why Are Your Players Still Running Suicides? 29.10.2026 6:24
Visit TeachHoops.com for practice plans, drills, and coaching resources. The problem with line sprints. Suicides build fatigue, but not basketball fitness. Basketball is a game of short bursts, changes of direction, and decisions made while tired. Coach Collins explains why straight line running misses most of that. Running as punishment backfires. When conditioning is used as a consequence, playe...

Ep 2042 What Should You Teach in Your First Ten Practices? 27.10.2026 6:35
https://teachhoops.com/ Visit TeachHoops.com for practice plans, drills, and coaching resources. The overload trap. Coaches walk into the first practice with a full playbook and walk into the first game with a confused team. Coach Collins explains why the order you teach things matters as much as what you teach. Defense first. Stance, ball pressure, and help principles come first because they trav...

Ep 2040 Does Every Player Know Their Role Before the First Game? 23.10.2026 6:23
https://teachhoops.com/ Visit TeachHoops.com for practice plans, drills, and coaching resources. Confusion is the real problem. When players do not know their role, they invent one, and it rarely matches yours. Coach Collins explains why role clarity prevents most of the frustration that shows up in December. The three part role meeting. Meet one on one with every player before the first game. Cov...

Ep 2038 Do You Need Team Rules or Team Standards? 21.10.2026 6:12
https://teachhoops.com/ Visit TeachHoops.com for practice plans, drills, and coaching resources. Why rules break down. A twenty item rule sheet turns coaches into referees and players into lawyers. Every rule invites the question of what counts and what doesn't. Coach Collins explains the difference between compliance and commitment. What a standard is. Rules tell players what not to do. Standards...
Ep 2037 Should Your Players Vote for Captains? 20.10.2026 6:28
Visit TeachHoops.com for practice plans, drills, and coaching resources. The problem with a straight vote. Team votes often reward the best player or the most popular kid, not the best leader. Coach Collins explains why a vote alone can put the wrong players in charge of your culture. Define the job first. Before anyone is chosen, write down what a captain does in your program: sets the tone in wa...

Ep 2035 What Should You Say at Your Preseason Parent Meeting? 16.10.2026 6:23
https://teachhoops.com/ Visit TeachHoops.com for practice plans, drills, and coaching resources. Why this meeting matters more than your first game. Parents who understand your program become allies. Parents who are surprised become critics. Coach Collins explains why thirty minutes in October saves dozens of hours in January. Start with who you are. Open with your team identity and what you are b...

Ep 2033 How Do You Cut a Player Without Breaking Them? 14.10.2026 6:25
https://teachhoops.com/ Visit TeachHoops.com for practice plans, drills, and coaching resources. Why the list on the door has to go. Posting names on a gym door or a website is efficient for the coach and brutal for the player. Coach Collins explains why every cut deserves a face to face conversation, even when there are dozens of them. Set expectations before tryouts begin. Tell players and paren...

Ep 2031 Are Your Tryouts Measuring the Right Things? 12.10.2026 6:43
https://teachhoops.com/ Visit TeachHoops.com for practice plans, drills, and coaching resources. The problem with traditional tryouts. Layup lines and shooting stations show you skill, but skill is the easiest thing to see and the least predictive of who helps you win in February. Coach Collins explains why tryouts should be built to reveal the things you cannot see in a box score. The coachabilit...
Ep 2030 Is Your Coaching Staff Really on the Same Page? 09.10.2026 6:32
Visit TeachHoops.com for practice plans, drills, and coaching resources. The meeting most coaches skip. Coaches spend hours on X's and O's and almost no time aligning the adults who teach them. Coach Collins makes the case for one real staff meeting before tryouts, with an agenda, a notepad, and no phones. Question one: who are we? Every coach in the program should be able to say the team's identi...

Ep 2028 Can You Say Your Team's Identity in One Sentence? 07.10.2026 5:35
https://teachhoops.com/ Visit TeachHoops.com for practice plans, drills, and coaching resources. Why identity comes first. October is when coaches order gear and draw up sets. Coach Collins argues the first job is simpler and more important: write one sentence that tells a player, a parent, and an assistant exactly what kind of team you will be. Every October decision, from tryout selections to pr...

Ep 2025 Are You Punishing the Exact Mistakes That Would Make Your Team Better? 02.10.2026 6:34
https://teachhoops.com/ Are You Punishing the Exact Mistakes That Would Make Your Team Better? Tryout week, the quick hook, and what happens to a player who learns that trying something is dangerous. Show Notes A quick hook feels like standards. This episode argues it is often just fear, and that the lesson a player actually takes from it is that trying something is dangerous. With tryouts here, i...

Ep 2003 Is Your Team Great at Practice and Lost in the Game? 30.09.2026 6:56
https://teachhoops.com/ Are Your Players Hearing You, or Actually Seeing It? Why installation week moves twice as fast when you stop explaining and start showing. Show Notes Installation week always sounds the same. A coach talking, a group of heads nodding, and then total chaos the second the ball goes up. This episode makes the case that the problem is not attention. It is that most young player...

Ep 2001 Are You Adding Potential or Removing Interference? 28.09.2026 7:50
https://teachhoops.com/ Performance equals potential minus interference. That one equation, borrowed from Timothy Gallwey's The Inner Game of Tennis, is the spine of this episode, and it flips the way most coaches think about player development. Nearly all of our energy goes into the first half of that equation. Better drills, better lifts, better skill work, better film. But Coach Collins argues...
