Here are some clinic notes from Indiana head coach Tom Crean:
*Need to commit to player development. Developing skills is the most important thing a coach can do.
*"Just Coach the Team" - sign on his office wall.
*Assistant Coaches- Must be known for something: recruiting, scheduling, offense, defense, etc.
*Study leadership/football coaches/ Frank Beamer VA Tech special teams.
*Frank Beamer owns special teams and they are the best in the country. How do you score in all different situations? You must have a plan.
*Van Gundy- studied last 5 minutes of every game. Breaks down film to help his coaching.
*Cannot pick and choose ownership- will gett you beat!
-Can't pick what is passionate to them
-Assign roles, but everybody must be involved
-Agendas=jealousy and disloyal coaches
*If you are gone, you must re-connect with staff and players- keep in touch.
*Anything that happens in an organization comes back to the leadership of the organization- late to class, in the cafe, always treat people the right way.
*Dwayne Wade (Crean's former player at Marquette) shot cart- charted stretch of 15 shots where he could have used the backboard over 5 games. Shooting % whent up when he learned to use backboard.
