From Coach Wilkes:
* In their eagerness to play the game fast, players do things toofast or too early, e.g., coming off screens. It is better to be latethan early.
* Coaches must introduce their players to their feet. In other words,teach footwork.
* Best shooters in the NBA shoot with their feet under their shoulders.
* Don't teach long 2s. It is a mistake to shoot the ball an inch or so inside the 3 point shot line.
* Good shooters should get to the free throw line at least eleventimes a game.
* When a shooter goes up on a drive, he should try to come downin the same place.
* Kevin Garnett wants to be the best player in every game, and to be the best player in every practice.
* It is unbelieveable the importance of making lay-ups in college and pro basketball. This should be stressed to high school players since so many of them miss many lay-ups.
* When a shot goes up, every player should move with a purpose. Some to block out, some to go to the offensive glass, and some to be ready for transition defense.
