Doc Rivers 2014 Coaching U Live Basketball Coaching Notes
Doc is well spoken. He spent a lot of time on how he dealt with the Sterling situation.
Bullet points that I felt were important:
BE CLUTTER FREE: mind etc.
One voice for the team/organization
You need to know how to coach on the run
1. SET THE TABLE DETERMINE YOUR TEAM | Basketball Coaching Notes
• What does winning look like?
• What does a championship look like?
• They are two different things
• BUY IN
• If we work together it can work for ALL
2. CULTURE | Basketball Coaching Notes
• Make it your home arena: They share an arena with the Lakers.
• He got all the Laker banners taken down during Clipper home games. It was met with some resistance at first. Reason is they didn’t want to make the Lakers mad.
• Doc wanted to make Lakers mad and make a statement.
• He controls what players pics go up and who is on tickets etc. He controls the chemistry
• NBA players can become STARS by buying into a role: same as HS
• BODY LANGAUAGE: remember your teammates see it and feed off of it.
3. PLAYERS | Basketball Coaching Notes
• Try not to make changes but add to the core: Always trying to get better
• He wants separation in his top 10: Top players need to be better than next 5 etc. C
• We as coaches know who the best ones are but they need to prove it and separate.
• Winners sacrifice to help team win: Some only want to win if it’s comfortable for them.
• When players sacrifice they will give you even more
• Ray Allen gave up 50% of his shots which was 62% of his touches: Garnet and Pierce each gave up 25%: They sacrificed and bought in
• GET BACK on the release of the shot
• Discipline and execution down the stretch
• Allow players to be free but FREEDOM without DISCIPLINE is dangerous
• LOW CHARACTER players cannot be developed
• EXECUTION: ATO/BOB/SOB
• Doc has players draw up plays
• HAMMER: is a cross screen into a PNR
