Dave Severens Clippers Player Development | 2014 Coaching U Live
Must develop mental toughness!
You cannot grow and work with a player until you have a relationship with them.
Five factors that grow that relationship:
– Care about the players. They don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.
– Knowledgeable. Understand their game. Understand how their game fits within the system of their team.
– Sweat equity. Have to be willing to sweat with the players as you work with them.
– Availability. 24/7 if you want to develop the top guys.
– Trust. If you have the first four, you will build trust.
Really important that younger coaches have mentors. Have a committee of people you can go to with questions.

Defensive calls must be early, loud, and continuous.
The shot is in the pass. Good pass, good shot.
Catch and shoot drill with cones is good. Defense chases from block and must go around cone in corner. Offense starts in corner.
Start from the place where you assume they know nothing.
In pivoting Shooting foot free as much as possible – same foot as your shooting foot. Essentially permanent pivot foot.
You make layups with your eyes.
Finish off two feet. Don’t have to land on feet evenly before takeoff.
Triple threat on the weak hip, rather than the strong hip.
On pivot on wing and in post you have to create space with your pivot foot. Either reverse pivot or open pivot plus a jab between the legs.

In drills – have the winner validate with a free throw.
Any conditioning should be done with a skill.
When players walk into the locker room they should see the quote of the day and the plan for the day.
