Basketball Coaches
What to basketball coaches expect?
I’m joining the fresh/soph basketball team in my school, and I was wondering what kind of players a coach is looking for?
I haven’t really played on a team before so i lack game experience and stamina. But i really want to make the team. I think I’m a sg, so can you guys give me some advice on what a good sg does?
Hey Byron N,
i think different coaches want different things. Some things that i think help though are:
1) Selflessness- too many players are in it for their own glory. Your coach is probably at an age where he’s a little old-school and coaches esp. in high school teach a team concept- so i’d say first be a team player.
2) Be fundamentally sound. Little things such as boxing out, willingness to take a charge, and solid defense often gets overshadowed by scoring- but coaches watch everything and little things like that will get you noticed for the right reasons. i remember in one of my first games on the basketball team i was at the time 5’3 and less than 100 lbs and i took a charge from a guy that weighed at least 150 lbs and my coach was patting on my back and praising me after the game.
3) As a shooting guard- you need to be able to shoot. Work on having a accurate shot. A quick release. And i think as a guard you have to be a good free throw shooter- esp. as you will have the ball in your hands at the end of games if you play during crunch time.
4) Hustle, Hustle, Hustle,… Work harder than everyone else- during practice and possibly after.
5) A good shooting guard also can use his pump fake and get to the hoop. Remember if he gets fouled- he gets free throws (see #3).
Anyhow hope that helps. i played both pg, and sg when i was in High School- miss those fun playing days (yes even sometimes the practices). Good luck.
