Weekly Written Review
My message to my team after Friday's scrimmage. Excuse the typos.
Yesterday's scrimmage exposed a lot of our weaknesses. We're all good individual basketball players but often that doesn't translate to good team basketball. Some of us play like we're the only person on the team. Way too many missed wide open layups! Force passes, force shots, and when we miss, we pout, slap our hips without getting back on defense. That's unacceptable! These same errors also happens against our opponents and we have to call it out. I had to call it out. Every game of basketball should be played with purpose and integrity.
Look, we're in second place! That's incredible. That's beyond my initial expectations and I'll be damned if we just blow this opportunity. We have a real chance to maintaining second or go even higher. That will require sacrifice! A bye-week doesn't mean relax and chill. We should to be working out, practicing team basketball and conditioning throughout the week. Training doesn't stop!
When it comes to the playoffs, we have to be even more disciplined physically, mentally, and strategically. More sacrifice! At this moment, I'm not confident some of us are ready for the playoffs. Perhaps some of us shouldn't play in the playoffs. Hopefully, we will find a way to be ready when the time comes.
I don't have the solutions, nor am I a decision maker. I just want us to be in the best position to perform our best when our season is on the line.
Go,....
Have a great weekend.
