Unpopular opinion, but so many of the ādetailsā that trainers obsess with and spend minutes explaining in their sessions are excuses to over-coach and feel more relevantā¦
Many small adjustments in footwork, body positioning, etc. simply are not the highest bang-for-your-buck when you have an hour to get a player better at basketball.
And even if they are, we underestimate (1) how well players can and do learn by themselves (2) how much more efficient we can be with our teaching, and (3) how much room there is for functional variability between players

Max Christie is all smiles talking about John Poulakidasā night with the Mavericks, coming off the bench making 3-of-5 3PM.
āWeāve known each other a long time. Weāre from the same area, so itās very exciting for me to see someone like him. Heās come along way in his ability to shoot the ball and the confidence he has in himself. Itās exciting ā¦ itās a great start to his career so far and Iām happy to be able to witness it.ā

Deerfield's Jake Pollack was special on Friday. The 6-9 senior was an offensive and defensive force against undefeated Kaneland.
āHe was the best player on the floor. Zero debate" - Evan Nagler.
Deerfield will play for a state title on Saturday.

In a terrific 3A semifinal, Deerfield takes down unbeaten Kaneland in a 49-48 overtime thriller. Jake Pollack was outstanding. He not only produced (20 pts) but did the little things and provided a calming influence for the Warriors. Deerfield will for play a 3A title.
