• 1:57
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, great to be here.
• 1:59
  SPEAKER_01: Thanks for having me.
• 2:00
  SPEAKER_02: We are now in the latter half of December,
• 2:02
  which I know for a lot of us marks kind of the middle of our
• 2:05
  seasons and an
• 2:07
  SPEAKER_02: extremely busy time.
• 2:08
  SPEAKER_02: Cam, I'm going to start with this question for you.
• 2:11
  SPEAKER_02: Thinking about the busyness of the season, what do you do?
• 2:14
  SPEAKER_02: Maybe one or two biggest challenges.
• 2:18
  What do you do when you see those challenges and how do you
• 2:21
  attack those challenges
• 2:22
  SPEAKER_02: when we're talking specifically about the scouting process?
• 2:27
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I guess for me,
• 2:31
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 2:32
  SPEAKER_01: I,
• 2:32
  SPEAKER_01: I,
• 2:33
  SPEAKER_01: I kind of think of it more,
• 2:34
  SPEAKER_01: um,
• 2:34
  SPEAKER_01: I guess more as a system,
• 2:36
  SPEAKER_01: like,
• 2:37
  SPEAKER_01: um,
• 2:38
  SPEAKER_01: as I try to kind of keep the same routine for,
• 2:41
  SPEAKER_01: for each opponent,
• 2:42
  SPEAKER_01: for each scout,
• 2:44
  SPEAKER_01: um,
• 2:44
  SPEAKER_01: as,
• 2:45
  SPEAKER_01: as we,
• 2:45
  SPEAKER_01: as,
• 2:46
  SPEAKER_01: as we kind of approach some of those challenges or look at some of those
• 2:49
  SPEAKER_01: challenges,
• 2:50
  SPEAKER_01: but,
• 2:51
  SPEAKER_01: um,
• 2:52
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 2:52
  SPEAKER_01: really,
• 2:52
  SPEAKER_01: I,
• 2:52
  SPEAKER_01: I guess I,
• 2:53
  SPEAKER_01: I kind of get in,
• 2:55
  SPEAKER_01: in,
• 2:55
  SPEAKER_01: in my routine as far as,
• 2:57
  SPEAKER_01: um,
• 2:58
  um what what i need to look at and and then stick to that
• 3:01
  routine and and um and i
• 3:05
  guess routine wise i'm i'm kind of kind of thinking like
• 3:08
  through sports code and um
• 3:11
  how we need to um kind of as far as building that scout but how
• 3:15
  we need to build
• 3:16
  that game plan as well yeah coach rob how about for you i think
• 3:20
  it's you know
• 3:22
  SPEAKER_00: Building your system defensively for us is the biggest thing.
• 3:26
  SPEAKER_00: We try to work on several actions early in the year that,
• 3:29
  SPEAKER_00: hey,
• 3:29
  SPEAKER_00: okay,
• 3:29
  SPEAKER_00: it's guard-to-guard pass with a back screen to a ball screen.
• 3:32
  SPEAKER_00: So we work on that.
• 3:33
  SPEAKER_00: And we build that defensive-minded.
• 3:36
  SPEAKER_00: And now when it comes into the scout, you see it in the action.
• 3:39
  We're able to build that piece-by-piece inside how we want to
• 3:43
  cover people.
• 3:44
  SPEAKER_00: And we only try to pick –
• 3:46
  SPEAKER_00: For us, it's like three or four actions a game.
• 3:49
  SPEAKER_00: For us with Huddle,
• 3:51
  I think the more you collect inside of Huddle and the more you
• 3:56
  build how we're
• 3:57
  SPEAKER_00: going to cover those different actions,
• 3:58
  SPEAKER_00: I think that's the biggest thing for us is how we look at it.
• 4:02
  Let me ask you bigger picture for both of you and Rob,
• 4:04
  I'll start with you.
• 4:06
  But just explaining kind of the overall process of how you go
• 4:10
  from start to finish
• 4:12
  SPEAKER_02: and even incorporating things into your practices.
• 4:17
  SPEAKER_02: What does that process look like for you all?
• 4:19
  SPEAKER_00: Currently right now, like today, I'll explain.
• 4:22
  SPEAKER_00: We play tonight at 6 o'clock.
• 4:23
  So we're going to hit the road here this afternoon and get up
• 4:26
  to Virginia State.
• 4:27
  SPEAKER_00: But we played two nights ago.
• 4:30
  SPEAKER_00: So we had a one-day prep.
• 4:32
  SPEAKER_00: And the biggest thing, we've already played Virginia State once.
• 4:35
  So the biggest thing is when we took those three days to
• 4:37
  prepare for them the first
• 4:38
  SPEAKER_00: time,
• 4:39
  SPEAKER_00: we're using the clips from our game.
• 4:42
  SPEAKER_00: And we're strictly using those clips.
• 4:43
  SPEAKER_00: It starts with player personnel with us.
• 4:46
  SPEAKER_00: We got to know what each guy is.
• 4:48
  We try to give each guy probably four clips of,
• 4:50
  all right,
• 4:51
  here's where he's really good at.
• 4:52
  SPEAKER_00: This is where we want to try to key in on.
• 4:55
  And I think as you build that,
• 4:57
  you're going to probably put eight to ten guys into a scout.
• 5:00
  And each guy is going to have four to six clips depending on
• 5:03
  which player he is.
• 5:04
  And we're really big on how we want to guard each individual
• 5:08
  and where inside their
• 5:10
  SPEAKER_00: actions we see him scoring.
• 5:12
  SPEAKER_00: And then the next piece,
• 5:14
  SPEAKER_00: after we get outside of the player personnel,
• 5:15
  SPEAKER_00: it's kind of like,
• 5:16
  SPEAKER_00: okay,
• 5:17
  SPEAKER_00: here's four actions we want to try to cover.
• 5:19
  So today we went through,
• 5:21
  walked through,
• 5:21
  we covered four actions with the video on the floor.
• 5:25
  We show the video,
• 5:26
  we walk out on the floor,
• 5:27
  we cover it,
• 5:27
  we come back,
• 5:28
  we show the next play.
• 5:29
  SPEAKER_00: And I think that's, you know,
• 5:31
  SPEAKER_00: And in the preseason,
• 5:32
  SPEAKER_00: we've already looked at several of these things,
• 5:34
  SPEAKER_00: just we'll use Zoom action.
• 5:35
  SPEAKER_00: Virginia State runs a ton of Zoom action.
• 5:37
  SPEAKER_00: We know how we want to cover the Zoom.
• 5:39
  SPEAKER_00: We'd make some adjustments to it, how we want to do it tonight.
• 5:42
  SPEAKER_00: And those four things that we cover are huge for us.
• 5:46
  And then on the backside of that,
• 5:47
  I think we get into any type of special situation.
• 5:50
  SPEAKER_00: If they're really trying to score,
• 5:51
  SPEAKER_00: sideline out of bounds,
• 5:53
  SPEAKER_00: obviously baseline out of bounds,
• 5:54
  SPEAKER_00: and we do the same exact thing.
• 5:56
  SPEAKER_00: So it's a three-piece part to what we're doing, player personnel,
• 6:01
  SPEAKER_00: four actions that we want to cover.
• 6:02
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 6:03
  SPEAKER_00: How are they scoring sideline out of bounds or baseline out of bounds?
• 6:05
  SPEAKER_00: And I think when each time we do it, we do it the same exact way.
• 6:09
  And depending on the days,
• 6:11
  how many days you have in between this would be in a one day
• 6:14
  prep.
• 6:15
  SPEAKER_00: You can only,
• 6:15
  SPEAKER_00: you can only make so many adjustments and we go back to look,
• 6:18
  SPEAKER_00: okay,
• 6:19
  SPEAKER_00: here's how we,
• 6:20
  SPEAKER_00: here's how we mess it up in the first game.
• 6:21
  SPEAKER_00: Here's how we need to make those adjustments today.
• 6:24
  SPEAKER_02: Kim, what's your workflow?
• 6:27
  SPEAKER_01: And I'd say, excuse me, I'd say it's very similar.
• 6:32
  SPEAKER_01: we start with personnel as well too.
• 6:35
  SPEAKER_01: And then we try to keep it simple enough to present
• 6:39
  SPEAKER_01: I think probably four or five actions to, to our guys.
• 6:43
  And,
• 6:44
  and when we present those,
• 6:45
  we kind of take two different days to do that.
• 6:47
  SPEAKER_01: So we can kind of,
• 6:49
  SPEAKER_01: kind of focus on,
• 6:51
  SPEAKER_01: on the,
• 6:52
  SPEAKER_01: the action in one day and maybe personnel on another day.
• 6:55
  And,
• 6:55
  and you know,
• 6:57
  again,
• 6:57
  kind of referencing our defensive system,
• 7:00
  how we're,
• 7:01
  um,
• 7:02
  as far as those actions how we're going to guard those actions
• 7:05
  and um kind of our
• 7:07
  the tools that we have to uh kind of combat those actions um if
• 7:11
  needed and and then
• 7:12
  you know personnel uh i think very similar like we'll we'll go
• 7:16
  through um you know
• 7:18
  SPEAKER_01: some of the strengths of those players um how they score you know kind of
• 7:22
  SPEAKER_01: specifically how we want to defend them or how we want to guard them and
• 7:27
  And,
• 7:27
  you know,
• 7:31
  I think those are some of the things like we do it in the
• 7:33
  classroom.
• 7:34
  SPEAKER_01: We do it on the floor.
• 7:35
  SPEAKER_01: We do it pregame.
• 7:37
  SPEAKER_01: You know,
• 7:37
  SPEAKER_01: so I think as far as guys retaining that,
• 7:40
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 7:42
  SPEAKER_01: it may be like as an example,
• 7:45
  SPEAKER_01: we were on the road.
• 7:45
  SPEAKER_01: It may be.
• 7:48
  This week,
• 7:49
  it may be a walkthrough that they just get another glimpse of
• 7:53
  that.
• 7:53
  SPEAKER_01: But I think those are some of the pieces that we try to,
• 7:57
  SPEAKER_01: that would be very similar is just to film,
• 8:00
  SPEAKER_01: to floor,
• 8:00
  SPEAKER_01: to classroom,
• 8:02
  SPEAKER_01: to locker room,
• 8:04
  SPEAKER_01: to walkthrough,
• 8:05
  to maybe live in a pregame that they can kind of carry that
• 8:10
  through and really
• 8:11
  SPEAKER_01: retain some of that information too.
• 8:13
  Because I think the bottom line is what can guys really apply
• 8:16
  to the floor?
• 8:17
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, that's good.
• 8:18
  I'm going to come back and ask you a little bit more about that
• 8:20
  in a minute.
• 8:21
  SPEAKER_02: And specifically to how much information do you put in?
• 8:24
  SPEAKER_02: How much do you feel like your guys can retain that kind of thing?
• 8:27
  SPEAKER_02: But before I go any further,
• 8:28
  SPEAKER_02: I want to ask this,
• 8:29
  SPEAKER_02: because when coaches are on these calls,
• 8:31
  SPEAKER_02: I find that especially basketball coaches often.
• 8:34
  SPEAKER_02: in at least the back of their mind,
• 8:36
  SPEAKER_02: are asking or thinking,
• 8:38
  SPEAKER_02: yeah,
• 8:38
  SPEAKER_02: but my program or my staff is like this.
• 8:42
  And so if any of the stuff that the three of us are going to
• 8:44
  say and they're going
• 8:45
  SPEAKER_02: to relate to,
• 8:46
  SPEAKER_02: I do think there needs to be some relatability.
• 8:48
  And so for context sake,
• 8:50
  the three of us come from programs with small staffs.
• 8:54
  SPEAKER_02: And I'm talking two,
• 8:56
  SPEAKER_02: maybe three people,
• 8:57
  if you want to count the GAs that we have sometimes that we
• 9:00
  overwork and greatly
• 9:02
  SPEAKER_02: appreciate.
• 9:03
  SPEAKER_02: But having tools like Huddle and Fast Model,
• 9:07
  SPEAKER_02: Instat,
• 9:08
  SPEAKER_02: those tools have become additional assistance for our programs.
• 9:13
  Rob,
• 9:13
  talk about that aspect and maybe even the actual man hours that
• 9:17
  these tools can save.
• 9:19
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it's been a total advantage for us.
• 9:24
  SPEAKER_00: So it's myself and Alex Lewis,
• 9:26
  SPEAKER_00: and he's my assistant,
• 9:27
  SPEAKER_00: but he's also the developmental head coach.
• 9:29
  SPEAKER_00: We have 32 kids in our program.
• 9:31
  SPEAKER_00: We have 17 on our regular D2 team.
• 9:34
  SPEAKER_00: We have another 15 guys in our developmental program.
• 9:37
  SPEAKER_00: So,
• 9:38
  SPEAKER_00: you know,
• 9:38
  SPEAKER_00: to manage them academically,
• 9:39
  SPEAKER_00: to make sure they're in class,
• 9:41
  SPEAKER_00: to practice them,
• 9:42
  SPEAKER_00: there's a lot of time that gets man hours that get sucked up.
• 9:46
  SPEAKER_00: I just think the combination –
• 9:49
  SPEAKER_00: of being able to take the huddle camera,
• 9:51
  SPEAKER_00: have it in your gym,
• 9:53
  being able to clip practice and watch every single phase of
• 9:57
  practice to be able to
• 9:58
  then go into huddle instat and do your scouting piece to drop
• 10:03
  it right into fast
• 10:04
  SPEAKER_00: draw and fast scout.
• 10:06
  SPEAKER_00: That, to me, is invaluable.
• 10:09
  SPEAKER_00: You're talking...
• 10:10
  SPEAKER_00: I mean,
• 10:11
  SPEAKER_00: you're 25 hours minimum,
• 10:12
  a week of workflow for somebody else that now is able to be
• 10:18
  done by yourself or
• 10:19
  SPEAKER_00: your assistant.
• 10:20
  I mean,
• 10:20
  currently right now,
• 10:21
  Alex is doing all the player personnel for us.
• 10:24
  I'm doing how we're going to cover the other team's four
• 10:27
  actions offensively and defensively.
• 10:29
  And with this scout,
• 10:31
  because we just came out of a backside of a game with Francis
• 10:33
  Merriam,
• 10:35
  SPEAKER_00: I didn't have much time to work on Virginia State.
• 10:37
  I had about 48 hours while we were still trying to fix some of
• 10:41
  the things that went
• 10:42
  SPEAKER_00: wrong in the Francis Marion game for us internally.
• 10:44
  So I think it's just been a – I would say it counts as two
• 10:48
  other assistants in my opinion.
• 10:51
  SPEAKER_02: Cam, how do you guys divvy up responsibilities?
• 10:55
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah,
• 10:56
  SPEAKER_01: I think,
• 10:57
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 10:57
  SPEAKER_01: very similar,
• 10:57
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 10:59
  SPEAKER_01: like thinking of sports code,
• 11:01
  SPEAKER_01: we have on our coaching staff,
• 11:03
  SPEAKER_01: we have three different sports code licenses.
• 11:06
  SPEAKER_01: So like our student assistant,
• 11:09
  SPEAKER_01: our graduate assistant,
• 11:10
  SPEAKER_01: I might give them responsibilities pertaining to personnel.
• 11:15
  SPEAKER_01: They're going to clip.
• 11:17
  They're going to have those,
• 11:19
  as far as that film,
• 11:20
  ready to present to our guys.
• 11:22
  SPEAKER_01: Then we'll meet,
• 11:24
  SPEAKER_01: combine everything,
• 11:27
  SPEAKER_01: put that into Fast Scout,
• 11:31
  and meet on those guys or topics of personnel to simplify and
• 11:38
  then present to our
• 11:39
  SPEAKER_01: team as well.
• 11:40
  SPEAKER_02: I'll say for us,
• 11:41
  having things populated and sorted automatically right there in
• 11:46
  Instat and
• 11:46
  SPEAKER_02: FastScout,
• 11:48
  SPEAKER_02: the ease at which I can find and import clips,
• 11:51
  SPEAKER_02: same with diagrams or plays with FastDraw,
• 11:54
  and then also just being able to instantly share that
• 11:57
  information in those scouting
• 11:59
  SPEAKER_02: reports with my staff and players,
• 12:02
  SPEAKER_02: it's really like having another assistant coach on our staff.
• 12:05
  SPEAKER_02: And the great part is it's done at a fraction of the cost.
• 12:08
  SPEAKER_02: Yep.
• 12:09
  SPEAKER_02: Because of all this technology,
• 12:12
  SPEAKER_02: and thanks to the Instat and the Fast Scout,
• 12:16
  SPEAKER_02: as coaches,
• 12:17
  SPEAKER_02: we have more data that's available to us more than ever.
• 12:21
  SPEAKER_02: Rob,
• 12:21
  how much weight do you give to analytics and shot charts and
• 12:26
  everything else that's
• 12:27
  there versus the eye test when you're looking at things like
• 12:31
  player tendencies?
• 12:32
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I go back and forth with it.
• 12:35
  SPEAKER_00: Obviously, I'm in year 26.
• 12:37
  SPEAKER_00: So analytics and video have just since I started,
• 12:41
  SPEAKER_00: I mean,
• 12:41
  I think we talked about this while I started with dual VCRs and
• 12:45
  making clip tapes.
• 12:46
  SPEAKER_00: So the technology of the game is definitely advanced.
• 12:50
  SPEAKER_00: I weigh heavily on shooting percentages.
• 12:53
  SPEAKER_00: especially after you get a body of work and you're able to determine,
• 12:57
  SPEAKER_00: okay,
• 12:57
  SPEAKER_00: they've played 10 games.
• 12:58
  SPEAKER_00: I think today is game 11 or 12 for us.
• 13:00
  SPEAKER_00: So there's a good database there to look at.
• 13:04
  SPEAKER_00: Points per possession.
• 13:06
  SPEAKER_00: I think the four factors do play a part in how we play.
• 13:10
  SPEAKER_00: And I still look at the rebounding.
• 13:12
  SPEAKER_00: I still look at the assist to turnover ratio.
• 13:15
  SPEAKER_00: And for us, I tell you what's really, especially this season,
• 13:21
  SPEAKER_00: 50-50 balls and our defensive rebounding.
• 13:25
  I think those things are you can go inside how many offensive
• 13:28
  rebounds you give up.
• 13:30
  SPEAKER_00: You can pull those quickly.
• 13:31
  SPEAKER_00: You can pull up the loose balls.
• 13:33
  SPEAKER_00: I think those things are still kind of I shouldn't say old school.
• 13:37
  SPEAKER_00: I say the right school.
• 13:38
  SPEAKER_00: But those are things that when I was a player were a major factor.
• 13:41
  SPEAKER_00: And I think you've got to have a good balance.
• 13:44
  And you've got to still have the eye test of like,
• 13:45
  hey,
• 13:46
  how's the flow of the game going?
• 13:47
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, you can't just be a numbers guy with it.
• 13:52
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, sure.
• 13:54
  SPEAKER_02: Cam, you mentioned the sports code and the Instat.
• 13:57
  What place do those have,
• 14:01
  either of those,
• 14:02
  any of the other systems that we use?
• 14:05
  SPEAKER_02: And maybe a good time to show something as well with this,
• 14:08
  SPEAKER_02: but what place do those have in the overall workflow of things?
• 14:13
  SPEAKER_01: I guess...
• 14:15
  You know,
• 14:16
  all of my workflow is basically in sports code for the most
• 14:19
  part.
• 14:19
  SPEAKER_01: And,
• 14:20
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 14:20
  SPEAKER_01: as you talk about analytics,
• 14:22
  SPEAKER_01: like we'll come back and look at analytics as well,
• 14:24
  SPEAKER_01: too,
• 14:26
  SPEAKER_01: within our program.
• 14:26
  SPEAKER_01: But I always like to watch it first to kind of to visually see it.
• 14:32
  SPEAKER_01: And.
• 14:35
  SPEAKER_01: You know,
• 14:35
  SPEAKER_01: like we talked about personnel,
• 14:37
  SPEAKER_01: like and coach talked about three point percentage,
• 14:40
  SPEAKER_01: like we'll we'll kind of take,
• 14:44
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 14:44
  SPEAKER_01: from a personnel standpoint,
• 14:45
  SPEAKER_01: we'll we'll look at number of shots from three their last three games,
• 14:50
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 14:50
  SPEAKER_01: all of that kind of what they've shot from three to to to really kind of.
• 14:55
  SPEAKER_01: get a feel for that or to digest that.
• 14:57
  SPEAKER_01: But then,
• 14:58
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 14:58
  then I'll start really looking at offensive possessions and
• 15:02
  really in sports code,
• 15:03
  kind of breaking those down into maybe certain families or
• 15:08
  anything that might be
• 15:09
  SPEAKER_01: related.
• 15:10
  SPEAKER_01: If there's a certain set that has
• 15:14
  SPEAKER_01: five different options out of it,
• 15:15
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 15:16
  SPEAKER_01: we'll present that or,
• 15:18
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 15:18
  kind of clip that and then we'll kind of funnel that to our
• 15:21
  presentation from
• 15:23
  SPEAKER_01: sports code.
• 15:24
  SPEAKER_01: We'll kind of put that into a playlist so then guys can watch that.
• 15:27
  SPEAKER_01: But then we can also export that if,
• 15:31
  SPEAKER_01: if needed to put into fast scout,
• 15:32
  SPEAKER_01: or we can export that back into huddle as well too,
• 15:37
  SPEAKER_01: for our guys to view.
• 15:38
  SPEAKER_01: So there's really a couple of different ways to do it.
• 15:40
  And I think that's the great thing about sports code is
• 15:43
  everybody's gonna probably
• 15:44
  SPEAKER_01: use it a little bit differently as well too,
• 15:47
  SPEAKER_01: to kind of fit their needs.
• 15:48
  SPEAKER_01: I think from a versatility standpoint, I had the opportunity this summer
• 15:54
  SPEAKER_01: um,
• 15:54
  to go up to the university of Minnesota and watch one of their
• 15:57
  practices and
• 15:58
  SPEAKER_01: talking to their,
• 15:59
  SPEAKER_01: um,
• 16:00
  SPEAKER_01: their,
• 16:00
  SPEAKER_01: their video coordinator.
• 16:01
  Like he,
• 16:01
  he was,
• 16:02
  you know,
• 16:02
  he was way above me as far as coding and all of that.
• 16:05
  SPEAKER_01: But,
• 16:06
  SPEAKER_01: um,
• 16:07
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 16:08
  SPEAKER_01: I,
• 16:08
  SPEAKER_01: I think sports code has that versatility,
• 16:10
  SPEAKER_01: uh,
• 16:11
  SPEAKER_01: to use and,
• 16:12
  SPEAKER_01: and that's,
• 16:13
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 16:14
  SPEAKER_01: like our second assistant might use it differently than,
• 16:16
  SPEAKER_01: than I use it.
• 16:17
  SPEAKER_01: But I think, um,
• 16:20
  you know,
• 16:20
  to use it as far as kind of,
• 16:22
  kind of your rhythm and what you feel comfortable with.
• 16:26
  You know,
• 16:26
  I'll take that and just kind of,
• 16:27
  just really kind of funnel that.
• 16:30
  SPEAKER_01: And then to make sure that we're not,
• 16:33
  SPEAKER_01: I always make sure that,
• 16:35
  SPEAKER_01: cause like I might get to it towards the end of our scout and I've got,
• 16:38
  SPEAKER_01: 25 clips that I want to show.
• 16:40
  SPEAKER_01: And I'm like, well, that's way too many, you know.
• 16:43
  SPEAKER_01: But you can kind of funnel as you go with some of that stuff.
• 16:47
  SPEAKER_01: And I think that's where sports code,
• 16:49
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 16:50
  SPEAKER_01: kind of working through a sports code timeline,
• 16:52
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 16:53
  SPEAKER_01: sending that information to
• 16:56
  the organizer and then you know kind of using that organizer to
• 16:59
  maybe export back
• 17:01
  to huddle or export to fast scout so then guys can see it
• 17:05
  because I think our guys
• 17:06
  are are very visual as well too and for them to see some of
• 17:10
  those things helps them
• 17:12
  SPEAKER_01: as well.
• 17:13
  SPEAKER_02: Cam, I'll start with you, but Rob, I do want you to answer.
• 17:16
  Both of you have alluded to this,
• 17:18
  the amount of information that we're giving to our players.
• 17:21
  SPEAKER_02: At what point does it actually not become helpful?
• 17:25
  SPEAKER_02: And I'm not just talking about the scout itself.
• 17:29
  SPEAKER_02: I'm even talking about showing film, like you just mentioned, Cam.
• 17:33
  I'm talking about using all of these fancy new tools to spout
• 17:37
  off all kinds of stats,
• 17:39
  all of it.
• 17:40
  what have you found to work and what have you maybe even
• 17:44
  eliminated in recent times?
• 17:48
  SPEAKER_02: Cam, go ahead.
• 17:50
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 17:52
  SPEAKER_01: And I think with some of that too,
• 17:53
  SPEAKER_01: what,
• 17:53
  SPEAKER_01: what helps is,
• 17:54
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 17:55
  SPEAKER_01: guys having access to the scout on their phone,
• 17:58
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 17:58
  SPEAKER_01: to watch some of those things and to pull up videos,
• 18:00
  SPEAKER_01: to pull up stats.
• 18:02
  SPEAKER_01: Um, I, I think just as far as in our personnel, the, uh,
• 18:08
  the description like whether it's shooter or driver for example
• 18:13
  um you know to to
• 18:14
  really kind of talk through that with the guys um and and and i
• 18:19
  guess to present
• 18:20
  that but um yeah and sometimes i i guess maybe you know like i
• 18:26
  said guys have to be
• 18:27
  SPEAKER_01: able to carry that information over to the um
• 18:33
  SPEAKER_01: you know, to the court.
• 18:34
  SPEAKER_01: And if it's a scenario where maybe,
• 18:36
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 18:37
  SPEAKER_01: we're guarding a driver,
• 18:38
  SPEAKER_01: maybe we want to close out on that driver.
• 18:40
  And we're,
• 18:40
  I mean,
• 18:42
  to be able to process that,
• 18:43
  that we're not closing hard on that driver.
• 18:45
  SPEAKER_01: Like, I think it's just, you know,
• 18:48
  kind of finding like what works for your team and obviously
• 18:51
  like our team this year
• 18:52
  is different than our team last year even um but but finding
• 18:55
  what works um for
• 18:57
  those guys because they have to process that they have to apply
• 19:01
  it to the floor um
• 19:03
  and and you know in a lot of those situations probably less is
• 19:06
  more like that i
• 19:07
  SPEAKER_01: think that does i think that does apply
• 19:10
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 19:10
  SPEAKER_02: Rob?
• 19:11
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 19:12
  SPEAKER_00: So I had a group that graduated last year.
• 19:14
  SPEAKER_00: I had five seniors in it.
• 19:15
  SPEAKER_00: And less was more last year.
• 19:18
  SPEAKER_00: And because we had just gotten to a point where,
• 19:20
  SPEAKER_00: like,
• 19:21
  SPEAKER_00: there were some things that we could just bypass.
• 19:23
  SPEAKER_00: We were to a point where...
• 19:25
  SPEAKER_00: We were detail-oriented,
• 19:27
  but there were some things we didn't have to address just
• 19:30
  because we knew it.
• 19:30
  SPEAKER_00: I mean,
• 19:31
  we're to the point with this new team that jumping to the
• 19:35
  basketball and not
• 19:36
  SPEAKER_00: getting screened on the shuffle cut is being talked about,
• 19:39
  SPEAKER_00: and that's an everyday process.
• 19:43
  SPEAKER_00: But I got to keep in mind this generation, it's an Instagram generation.
• 19:47
  It's about four to six seconds you got and they're swiping to
• 19:50
  the next thing.
• 19:50
  SPEAKER_00: And so their concentration levels, you only have them for so long.
• 19:54
  SPEAKER_00: I think if you're going to,
• 19:56
  SPEAKER_00: to me,
• 19:57
  SPEAKER_00: what I have found success with is six minute sessions,
• 20:00
  SPEAKER_00: like five good clips before practice,
• 20:03
  SPEAKER_00: three bad clips.
• 20:04
  SPEAKER_00: Practice is over with four.
• 20:06
  SPEAKER_00: five bad clips, three good clips.
• 20:08
  SPEAKER_00: And now you've had two film sessions,
• 20:10
  SPEAKER_00: but you're doing it in these six to eight to 12 minute timeframes.
• 20:15
  SPEAKER_00: And I still,
• 20:16
  SPEAKER_00: there's times I go over that because I get talking,
• 20:19
  SPEAKER_00: I get on the coaching pulpit a little bit with this team we have now,
• 20:22
  SPEAKER_00: there's a lot of teaching to do.
• 20:24
  SPEAKER_00: And I don't want to sacrifice that teaching,
• 20:26
  SPEAKER_00: but this is a,
• 20:27
  it's a quick window you have to get the information in and get
• 20:31
  it retained by those
• 20:32
  SPEAKER_00: guys,
• 20:33
  SPEAKER_00: in my opinion.
• 20:34
  I've continued to cut the amount of information that I give to
• 20:37
  guys on paper,
• 20:38
  especially.
• 20:39
  SPEAKER_02: Um,
• 20:40
  SPEAKER_02: I think that I've maybe even increased the amount of clips that I show,
• 20:44
  SPEAKER_02: but those clips have gotten shorter.
• 20:47
  SPEAKER_02: Like you said,
• 20:47
  SPEAKER_02: Rob,
• 20:48
  I'm also much more intentional about showing the same scenario
• 20:52
  over and over
• 20:53
  SPEAKER_02: multiple times in a short,
• 20:55
  SPEAKER_02: in those short clips.
• 20:56
  SPEAKER_02: And too, I draw a lot more on the screen, not just random things, but
• 21:00
  SPEAKER_02: You know, a line here, a circle here to emphasize something.
• 21:04
  SPEAKER_02: By the way,
• 21:05
  SPEAKER_02: you can do all of that in huddle,
• 21:06
  SPEAKER_02: which makes it,
• 21:07
  SPEAKER_02: I think,
• 21:07
  SPEAKER_02: even better for our players.
• 21:10
  SPEAKER_02: Ken, were you going to say something?
• 21:12
  And I think ultimately,
• 21:13
  like,
• 21:13
  you know,
• 21:14
  I listened to Rob talk as well,
• 21:16
  too.
• 21:16
  SPEAKER_01: Like,
• 21:17
  SPEAKER_01: whatever we do,
• 21:18
  SPEAKER_01: if the guys don't play hard,
• 21:20
  SPEAKER_01: probably what we're presenting them doesn't matter anyway.
• 21:23
  SPEAKER_01: So,
• 21:24
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 21:24
  SPEAKER_01: that's really kind of where it starts,
• 21:26
  SPEAKER_01: I think,
• 21:26
  SPEAKER_01: is,
• 21:27
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 21:27
  SPEAKER_01: how do you,
• 21:29
  SPEAKER_01: as far as getting guys to just play as hard as they can,
• 21:33
  SPEAKER_01: because if they're not doing that,
• 21:37
  SPEAKER_01: like,
• 21:37
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 21:38
  SPEAKER_01: some of the scouting stuff might not matter anyway.
• 21:40
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 21:41
  SPEAKER_02: Absolutely.
• 21:42
  SPEAKER_02: All right.
• 21:42
  SPEAKER_02: We brought up film.
• 21:43
  SPEAKER_02: So I want to go there and ask about film.
• 21:46
  SPEAKER_02: Like, how do you do it?
• 21:47
  SPEAKER_02: When do you do it?
• 21:48
  SPEAKER_02: How much do you do?
• 21:49
  We've talked a little bit about those in this context of
• 21:53
  scouting and prep.
• 21:54
  I also want to think about because we were I think most coaches
• 21:58
  think about
• 21:58
  SPEAKER_02: preparing for the opponent.
• 22:00
  SPEAKER_02: but also in evaluating ourselves as well.
• 22:05
  SPEAKER_02: How do you do all that?
• 22:06
  And you can answer all of that,
• 22:08
  some of that,
• 22:09
  at least part of that,
• 22:10
  whatever you want.
• 22:11
  SPEAKER_02: Cam, do you want to start?
• 22:12
  SPEAKER_01: You know,
• 22:12
  SPEAKER_01: Tony,
• 22:13
  SPEAKER_01: kind of looking at some of that,
• 22:14
  SPEAKER_01: would that be to maybe even bring up,
• 22:18
  SPEAKER_01: like to bring up some sports code?
• 22:20
  SPEAKER_01: Like, is that something I could...
• 22:22
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, that'd be great.
• 22:23
  Just kind of share and just to kind of take through maybe a
• 22:28
  little bit of a workflow possibly.
• 22:32
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, that'd be fantastic.
• 22:33
  SPEAKER_02: Just share your screen there.
• 22:35
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 22:35
  SPEAKER_02: Can you see that?
• 22:36
  SPEAKER_02: We have a blank screen right now with just your folders, but yes.
• 22:40
  SPEAKER_01: Yes.
• 22:41
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 22:41
  SPEAKER_01: Perfect.
• 22:42
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 22:43
  SPEAKER_01: So...
• 22:47
  SPEAKER_01: You know,
• 22:47
  SPEAKER_01: like here are and again,
• 22:50
  SPEAKER_01: I think this ties back directly with with what Rob is saying as well,
• 22:54
  SPEAKER_01: too.
• 22:55
  SPEAKER_01: But,
• 22:55
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 22:55
  to start with personnel like this is one of our recent scouts
• 22:58
  against Concordia
• 22:59
  SPEAKER_01: University.
• 23:01
  SPEAKER_01: They were a team that we played last week.
• 23:03
  SPEAKER_01: They were rated top top 25 NAI.
• 23:04
  SPEAKER_01: And.
• 23:08
  uh a game that we want at home but you know like we'll start
• 23:12
  with individual
• 23:13
  personnel and then you know i'll put i'll put some of that
• 23:15
  personnel into into a
• 23:17
  playlist and and just kind of um this will be one of the like
• 23:22
  one of the days uh
• 23:23
  that we'll kind of go through um we'll talk off we'll talk off
• 23:27
  our scout so you
• 23:29
  SPEAKER_01: know to maybe reference that as well too like here's a copy of um
• 23:36
  SPEAKER_01: Just some of the basic things.
• 23:38
  SPEAKER_01: Like I don't have some of the strengths and bullet points in there,
• 23:43
  SPEAKER_01: but just some stats on the right.
• 23:45
  SPEAKER_01: And obviously they have their stats across the top there,
• 23:49
  SPEAKER_01: but we reference kind of three-point stats.
• 23:51
  SPEAKER_01: Like we talk a lot about those three-point stats.
• 23:54
  SPEAKER_01: Kind of what,
• 23:55
  SPEAKER_01: what are they from three,
• 23:56
  SPEAKER_01: how many shots they've,
• 23:57
  SPEAKER_01: as far as total field goals from three,
• 23:59
  SPEAKER_01: the last three games as,
• 24:01
  SPEAKER_01: as we kind of,
• 24:02
  SPEAKER_01: kind of reference film.
• 24:05
  SPEAKER_01: But that, that is the, the kind of the personnel side.
• 24:09
  And then,
• 24:10
  you know,
• 24:10
  we'll go through and watch,
• 24:12
  watch a few clips of,
• 24:14
  of their starting five.
• 24:16
  SPEAKER_01: And then that will be, that film will be exported to the,
• 24:21
  um fast scout as well too so guys have access guys have access
• 24:25
  to that that they
• 24:25
  can kind of kind of review and and and pull that up as well too
• 24:30
  and then um you
• 24:31
  know just from uh as we're kind of building our scout like just
• 24:35
  and again i i think
• 24:37
  SPEAKER_01: as a coach like right like you're always thinking okay how how
• 24:40
  SPEAKER_01: Like, does our defensive system, are we built to guard this?
• 24:45
  SPEAKER_01: And from a personnel standpoint, are we built to guard this?
• 24:47
  SPEAKER_01: Like, do you have to trap in the post?
• 24:49
  SPEAKER_01: Can you play one-on-one in the post?
• 24:52
  But here's like an offensive,
• 24:55
  you know,
• 24:56
  just like,
• 24:57
  and let me back up a second here too.
• 25:00
  SPEAKER_01: Like here's a,
• 25:01
  SPEAKER_01: here's a timeline that,
• 25:03
  SPEAKER_01: that I am,
• 25:04
  and let me kind of close out of some of this to remove some of
• 25:07
  the clutter.
• 25:08
  SPEAKER_01: You know,
• 25:09
  SPEAKER_01: I'm,
• 25:09
  SPEAKER_01: I'm working out of,
• 25:10
  SPEAKER_01: out of a sports code timeline and,
• 25:12
  SPEAKER_01: and,
• 25:12
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 25:13
  SPEAKER_01: kind of,
• 25:14
  SPEAKER_01: kind of looking at the timeline.
• 25:15
  SPEAKER_01: I like to do my work and, and,
• 25:16
  in this timeline and you know you can see all the things that
• 25:20
  that i i kind of kind
• 25:21
  of bunch or take into families like here's every offensive
• 25:24
  possession um that that
• 25:27
  northwestern runs and then i'm just kind of kind of pulling and
• 25:30
  dragging a little
• 25:30
  bit um to to describe those and then i will i'll i'll send
• 25:36
  those clips again to um
• 25:40
  SPEAKER_01: to the organizer and and with that organizer um
• 25:46
  SPEAKER_01: This will be some of the information that we then present to our team.
• 25:49
  SPEAKER_01: If it's an ISO play,
• 25:52
  SPEAKER_01: this might be one of the things that,
• 25:53
  SPEAKER_01: hey,
• 25:54
  SPEAKER_01: here's one of the best players in our league.
• 25:57
  SPEAKER_01: They're going to ISO a lot for him.
• 26:11
  you know,
• 26:11
  to,
• 26:12
  to,
• 26:12
  to show that,
• 26:13
  to walk through hate,
• 26:13
  like,
• 26:14
  how are we going to guard that?
• 26:15
  Um,
• 26:16
  but I think those are just,
• 26:18
  as far as just,
• 26:18
  uh,
• 26:19
  uh,
• 26:19
  kind of a quick glimpse of some of that.
• 26:22
  SPEAKER_01: And then,
• 26:22
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 26:23
  SPEAKER_01: as an example,
• 26:25
  SPEAKER_01: um,
• 26:26
  SPEAKER_01: of some of that,
• 26:28
  SPEAKER_01: just referencing,
• 26:29
  SPEAKER_01: um,
• 26:31
  SPEAKER_01: this scout as well too,
• 26:33
  SPEAKER_01: is,
• 26:34
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 26:38
  SPEAKER_01: just some of the diagrams,
• 26:39
  SPEAKER_01: like,
• 26:40
  SPEAKER_01: um,
• 26:41
  We'll upload some of the films so guys can kind of continually
• 26:44
  review some of those things.
• 26:45
  SPEAKER_01: But as an example,
• 26:46
  SPEAKER_01: like at the bottom of this scout here,
• 26:49
  SPEAKER_01: as far as from Fast Draw,
• 26:55
  SPEAKER_01: to again kind of keep it simple,
• 26:57
  SPEAKER_01: kind of our theme going into,
• 27:00
  SPEAKER_01: as we got into out-of-bounds,
• 27:02
  SPEAKER_01: baseline out-of-bounds,
• 27:03
  SPEAKER_01: sideline out-of-bounds,
• 27:03
  SPEAKER_01: it's really like Northwestern ran a lot of backscreens.
• 27:08
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 27:08
  SPEAKER_01: So we,
• 27:09
  SPEAKER_01: here's,
• 27:09
  here's five of their back screen actions that they're going to
• 27:13
  run baseline or
• 27:14
  SPEAKER_01: sideline out of bounds.
• 27:15
  SPEAKER_01: And then guys can look at the diagrams guys can look at,
• 27:20
  SPEAKER_01: uh,
• 27:20
  SPEAKER_01: the film upload as well to that corresponds with that diagram.
• 27:25
  SPEAKER_01: Um,
• 27:25
  SPEAKER_01: just,
• 27:26
  SPEAKER_01: just to view that,
• 27:26
  SPEAKER_01: but that was,
• 27:27
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 27:27
  SPEAKER_01: as we,
• 27:28
  SPEAKER_01: as we kind of head into our last day,
• 27:29
  SPEAKER_01: like we're,
• 27:30
  we're really emphasizing back screens as we go that Saturday
• 27:33
  morning with this one,
• 27:34
  SPEAKER_01: the Saturday morning walkthrough,
• 27:36
  SPEAKER_01: um,
• 27:37
  as we spend five minutes on baseline out of bounds we're just
• 27:40
  we're just talking
• 27:41
  back screens and um that that i think that emphasis kind of
• 27:45
  helps the guys retain
• 27:46
  like when when the balls uh when it's live you know they're
• 27:50
  saying baseline out of
• 27:51
  bounds or hey hey watch the back screen or hey we're in the
• 27:53
  spread set watch the
• 27:54
  back screen uh that they kind of know some of those things and
• 27:57
  and again can kind
• 27:58
  SPEAKER_01: of apply those apply those to the floor that's good rob anything
• 28:04
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah,
• 28:04
  SPEAKER_00: I just,
• 28:05
  SPEAKER_00: you know,
• 28:05
  SPEAKER_00: I haven't done much with drawing the other team's plays up in fast draw.
• 28:10
  SPEAKER_00: Where I've had, that's where I go to the video.
• 28:14
  I just feel like I have a short window to grab their attention
• 28:18
  and get that in.
• 28:19
  And it goes back to our preseason of,
• 28:22
  to me,
• 28:22
  how are we going to guard certain actions?
• 28:23
  SPEAKER_00: How are we going to guard a stagger?
• 28:25
  SPEAKER_00: How are we going to guard, you know, shuffle cut to stagger away?
• 28:29
  SPEAKER_00: We try to put those guard-to-guard paths back screen to ball screen.
• 28:32
  SPEAKER_00: um, any zoom action, how we determine how we're going to guard that.
• 28:36
  SPEAKER_00: We worked that into the preseason so that now when we're in the season,
• 28:40
  SPEAKER_00: we can,
• 28:40
  SPEAKER_00: we can quickly make that adjustment and they hear the terminology.
• 28:44
  SPEAKER_00: I think the key is the terminology.
• 28:46
  SPEAKER_00: Like I'm listening to coaches terminology there.
• 28:48
  SPEAKER_00: Like he's,
• 28:49
  SPEAKER_00: he's repeating it over and over again of how,
• 28:51
  SPEAKER_00: you know,
• 28:52
  SPEAKER_00: how they're going to cover certain things.
• 28:53
  SPEAKER_00: And I, I feel like for us, um,
• 28:57
  SPEAKER_00: My guys,
• 28:59
  I think that's a lot of information for them because I'm giving
• 29:03
  them also,
• 29:04
  SPEAKER_00: hey,
• 29:04
  you got to learn our stuff too and we got to be good at what we
• 29:06
  do offensively.
• 29:08
  SPEAKER_00: And that to me is a fine line and a fine balance.
• 29:12
  SPEAKER_00: I personally, I feel like
• 29:15
  SPEAKER_00: It's more about what we do and how we do it.
• 29:18
  And then here are the areas where we can really try to take
• 29:22
  some things away from
• 29:23
  SPEAKER_00: the other team or focus in on the other team.
• 29:25
  And like I said earlier,
• 29:26
  it's the personnel and maybe three or four things.
• 29:29
  SPEAKER_00: But that's really good about what Coach is showing right there.
• 29:34
  SPEAKER_00: I do have a question for you, Cam.
• 29:35
  SPEAKER_00: I'm just curious,
• 29:36
  SPEAKER_00: inside your system with your GAs that you're using,
• 29:40
  how much of that video are they doing that they're relaying and
• 29:44
  sharing with you?
• 29:47
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, so their main responsibilities are probably more personnel.
• 29:51
  SPEAKER_01: And then they'll share that with me.
• 29:55
  And then,
• 29:56
  you know,
• 29:57
  just to kind of give them responsibilities as well,
• 29:59
  too.
• 29:59
  SPEAKER_01: I think,
• 30:00
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 30:00
  SPEAKER_01: kind of with that as they kind of move on in their career,
• 30:02
  SPEAKER_01: hopefully they can...
• 30:05
  SPEAKER_01: Gain some scout experience from us as well, too.
• 30:07
  SPEAKER_01: But yeah, I think right now kind of how we use them.
• 30:11
  SPEAKER_01: Well, I guess kind of twofold.
• 30:13
  SPEAKER_01: Like for me,
• 30:14
  it's personnel because my responsibilities are probably more
• 30:18
  defensive oriented as
• 30:20
  SPEAKER_01: far as our defense.
• 30:22
  SPEAKER_01: pertaining to their offense.
• 30:24
  SPEAKER_01: But then they might assist our,
• 30:26
  SPEAKER_01: our head coach as well,
• 30:27
  SPEAKER_01: too,
• 30:27
  SPEAKER_01: on the other side of the ball with,
• 30:30
  SPEAKER_01: with some,
• 30:31
  SPEAKER_01: maybe some defensive clips to say,
• 30:33
  SPEAKER_01: Hey,
• 30:33
  SPEAKER_01: they're,
• 30:34
  SPEAKER_01: they're trapping this,
• 30:35
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 30:35
  SPEAKER_01: they're trapping in the post or,
• 30:36
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 30:37
  SPEAKER_01: how are they defending the post or how are they defending ball?
• 30:39
  SPEAKER_01: Like they,
• 30:39
  SPEAKER_01: they may help kind of the workflow with that as well,
• 30:43
  SPEAKER_01: too,
• 30:43
  SPEAKER_01: as,
• 30:44
  SPEAKER_01: as our head coach prepares us offensively for,
• 30:48
  SPEAKER_01: for some of those things.
• 30:49
  SPEAKER_01: But,
• 30:50
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, and I think maybe one other thing too,
• 30:54
  SPEAKER_01: kind of additionally add is,
• 30:55
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 30:55
  SPEAKER_01: even post-game,
• 30:57
  SPEAKER_01: as we come back and watch some things post-game,
• 31:00
  SPEAKER_01: like,
• 31:00
  SPEAKER_01: I think we go,
• 31:02
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 31:03
  SPEAKER_01: kind of we work through our defensive keys,
• 31:06
  SPEAKER_01: and I,
• 31:06
  SPEAKER_01: like,
• 31:07
  SPEAKER_01: for example,
• 31:08
  SPEAKER_01: I think two of our keys for every,
• 31:10
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 31:10
  SPEAKER_01: like,
• 31:10
  SPEAKER_01: you always want to get back in transition,
• 31:12
  SPEAKER_01: you always want to,
• 31:13
  SPEAKER_01: as far as us anyway,
• 31:14
  SPEAKER_01: we want to get back in transition,
• 31:16
  SPEAKER_01: that's where our defense starts,
• 31:17
  SPEAKER_01: and then our defense possessions,
• 31:18
  SPEAKER_01: it ends with the rebound,
• 31:21
  SPEAKER_01: but then
• 31:22
  You know,
• 31:22
  there might be,
• 31:23
  you know,
• 31:23
  maybe we want to keep the ball out of the paint.
• 31:25
  SPEAKER_01: You know, maybe that's one of the keys.
• 31:26
  SPEAKER_01: And then I think postgame,
• 31:28
  SPEAKER_01: we'll come back,
• 31:29
  SPEAKER_01: and then we'll pull out a few of those clips as well,
• 31:32
  SPEAKER_01: too,
• 31:32
  SPEAKER_01: good and bad,
• 31:34
  SPEAKER_01: kind of referencing that,
• 31:35
  SPEAKER_01: that really kind of...
• 31:37
  i think um are matching those keys like we're we're always
• 31:42
  talking off of those
• 31:43
  three keys or those four keys um whatever it is and then you
• 31:47
  know we'll come back
• 31:48
  and say hey here's a a great defensive transition where we're
• 31:52
  sprinting back we're
• 31:53
  SPEAKER_01: pointing we're talking um
• 31:55
  SPEAKER_01: You know,
• 31:55
  we're identifying shooters and and like we I think that's to
• 32:01
  kind of give some of
• 32:02
  SPEAKER_01: that feedback as well,
• 32:03
  SPEAKER_01: too,
• 32:03
  SPEAKER_01: that we want to make things as tough as we can on the defensive end.
• 32:06
  SPEAKER_01: But then,
• 32:07
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 32:07
  I guess that's one thing postgame that we'll come back to those
• 32:10
  the keys that we
• 32:11
  SPEAKER_01: have in our scout,
• 32:12
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 32:12
  SPEAKER_01: then.
• 32:13
  We'll pull out,
• 32:14
  you know,
• 32:15
  maybe it's maybe it's 10 clips and we'll watch.
• 32:17
  SPEAKER_01: Maybe it's five good, five bad.
• 32:19
  SPEAKER_01: And and,
• 32:20
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 32:20
  SPEAKER_01: maybe we're we're missing some some checkout assignments or,
• 32:24
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 32:24
  SPEAKER_01: some of some of those things that we'll put back in there postgame.
• 32:28
  SPEAKER_01: Just just really for guys to watch as well,
• 32:32
  SPEAKER_01: too,
• 32:33
  SPEAKER_01: before we kind of move on to that next opponent as well.
• 32:35
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 32:36
  SPEAKER_00: I'll just kind of go back to your original question, Tony.
• 32:40
  SPEAKER_00: We're still recording every practice.
• 32:42
  SPEAKER_00: I'm still watching every live rep in practice.
• 32:46
  SPEAKER_00: And I'm big on making clips of that.
• 32:49
  SPEAKER_00: One,
• 32:49
  to show individually to the guys where I can send it directly
• 32:53
  to them inside of
• 32:54
  SPEAKER_00: Huddle and making a...
• 32:56
  and just making a quick little highlight tape of three or four
• 32:58
  things they did good
• 32:58
  SPEAKER_00: in practice,
• 33:00
  SPEAKER_00: which probably is,
• 33:01
  SPEAKER_00: what,
• 33:01
  SPEAKER_00: 10 minutes?
• 33:01
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, I can do that in 10 minutes, 10 to 15 minutes.
• 33:04
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 33:04
  SPEAKER_00: I think it's big for the team, things that we're preaching.
• 33:10
  SPEAKER_00: Right now, we have three problems.
• 33:11
  SPEAKER_00: We have a turnover problem.
• 33:12
  SPEAKER_00: We have a 50-50 loose ball problem.
• 33:14
  SPEAKER_00: We have a rebounder problem.
• 33:15
  SPEAKER_00: And those are the things I've identified inside of practice.
• 33:18
  SPEAKER_00: They are showing up in games.
• 33:21
  SPEAKER_00: And I think the more I can show clips from practice and games of that,
• 33:26
  SPEAKER_00: back to Tony's point,
• 33:27
  SPEAKER_00: the visualization of them watching it.
• 33:29
  And,
• 33:30
  again,
• 33:30
  we're talking four clips before practice,
• 33:34
  ten total clips altogether,
• 33:36
  good and bad.
• 33:36
  SPEAKER_00: I think those things, to me, over the time, when we get to late January,
• 33:42
  SPEAKER_00: all through February, if you do the – I used to hear this all the time.
• 33:46
  SPEAKER_00: If you do your work early defensively,
• 33:48
  SPEAKER_00: as a coach,
• 33:48
  SPEAKER_00: you're doing your work now to continue to make you better.
• 33:51
  SPEAKER_00: I just think we got to – to me,
• 33:53
  SPEAKER_00: for our program,
• 33:54
  SPEAKER_00: we got to keep teaching every single day,
• 33:56
  SPEAKER_00: and those clips are invaluable how we continue to show that.
• 34:00
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, all good stuff.
• 34:01
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, go ahead, Cam.
• 34:02
  SPEAKER_01: And, Rob, I agree with that too.
• 34:04
  SPEAKER_01: Like just –
• 34:05
  SPEAKER_01: You know,
• 34:05
  SPEAKER_01: with sports,
• 34:06
  SPEAKER_01: like,
• 34:06
  SPEAKER_01: recording practices,
• 34:07
  SPEAKER_01: like,
• 34:08
  SPEAKER_01: it might just even be one clip sometimes.
• 34:10
  SPEAKER_01: And you could just export it.
• 34:11
  SPEAKER_01: And maybe whether you send it to Huddle or,
• 34:13
  SPEAKER_01: like,
• 34:14
  SPEAKER_01: sometimes I'll just send it to their phone,
• 34:15
  SPEAKER_01: like,
• 34:15
  SPEAKER_01: hey,
• 34:15
  SPEAKER_01: watch this possession.
• 34:16
  SPEAKER_01: Like, this is a great job of us.
• 34:18
  SPEAKER_01: You know, like, you talk about 50-50 balls.
• 34:20
  SPEAKER_01: Or maybe I send it to the team and just say, hey, great job.
• 34:24
  SPEAKER_01: Like, we're on the floor.
• 34:25
  SPEAKER_01: We got, you know, a loose ball.
• 34:26
  SPEAKER_01: Like, great hustle play.
• 34:28
  You know,
• 34:28
  whatever that is to kind of continually reinforce kind of what
• 34:33
  we're emphasizing.
• 34:34
  SPEAKER_00: Yep.
• 34:35
  Two things that came to mind when you guys were talking about
• 34:38
  student assistance
• 34:39
  SPEAKER_02: and graduate assistance.
• 34:40
  I had a couple of student assistants this semester,
• 34:43
  had the opportunity to use them.
• 34:45
  SPEAKER_02: They had some previous knowledge,
• 34:46
  so it wasn't like they were brand new to our program and sent
• 34:49
  them to FASC out and
• 34:51
  SPEAKER_02: let them fill it out.
• 34:52
  not to do it in place of me but i was going to watch it anyways
• 34:56
  and fill it out but
• 34:57
  one it did give them an opportunity to prep two it maybe they
• 35:01
  caught one or two
• 35:01
  SPEAKER_02: things that i didn't see three it also allowed me to understand what they
• 35:07
  understood and i feel like it's part of my responsibility to
• 35:11
  help them cam you
• 35:12
  mentioned like the next step in those young guys careers and
• 35:14
  help preparing them
• 35:15
  SPEAKER_02: for that
• 35:16
  And then a second one that some of you that are high school
• 35:19
  coaches that are
• 35:19
  SPEAKER_02: listening to this may sound absolutely ludicrous,
• 35:22
  SPEAKER_02: but we do this at the college level.
• 35:24
  But I let some of the players or I assign a player to do a
• 35:27
  scout each game and a
• 35:30
  great way for you to figure out if they have any clue about
• 35:33
  what you're trying to
• 35:34
  SPEAKER_02: accomplish or what they're seeing out there on the floor.
• 35:37
  SPEAKER_02: And again,
• 35:37
  SPEAKER_02: I'm not doing that in lieu of my my scouting report,
• 35:40
  but I think to like maybe even giving them the opportunity then
• 35:44
  to present some of
• 35:44
  SPEAKER_02: that to their team.
• 35:46
  More of the we're always talking about creating player led
• 35:49
  teams rather than coach led teams.
• 35:50
  And another one of those little small things that you can do to
• 35:53
  kind of push that along.
• 35:54
  SPEAKER_00: We just lost a two guard who just had surgery two weeks ago.
• 35:58
  SPEAKER_00: He's our starting two guard.
• 35:59
  SPEAKER_00: He's got a pen put in his hand, but he wants to be a coach.
• 36:02
  SPEAKER_00: And so I'm going to take tonight's the last game before Christmas break.
• 36:05
  SPEAKER_00: I'm going to take the next 10 days and really figure out like,
• 36:09
  SPEAKER_00: okay,
• 36:10
  what's the best way to use him inside of our huddle with maybe
• 36:14
  self-scouting us,
• 36:17
  SPEAKER_00: or maybe, hey, take a look at every single ball screen.
• 36:19
  SPEAKER_00: I want you to pull every single ball screen in tomorrow night's game,
• 36:22
  SPEAKER_00: and you watch them,
• 36:23
  SPEAKER_00: and then you come with a report on our ball screen defense.
• 36:26
  I need to take some time over the next 10 days to really show
• 36:31
  him how to use it,
• 36:32
  SPEAKER_00: but at the same time,
• 36:32
  I think that's going to be I'm adding a student assistant like
• 36:35
  you talked about,
• 36:35
  SPEAKER_00: Tony,
• 36:36
  SPEAKER_00: and each season's different.
• 36:37
  SPEAKER_00: I mean,
• 36:37
  SPEAKER_00: two years ago,
• 36:38
  SPEAKER_00: I had an internship,
• 36:40
  SPEAKER_00: and I had a young man who I sat him down and said,
• 36:43
  SPEAKER_00: hey,
• 36:44
  SPEAKER_00: Let's give up basketball.
• 36:45
  SPEAKER_00: You want to be a coach.
• 36:46
  SPEAKER_00: He was playing on our developmental team.
• 36:47
  SPEAKER_00: I said, you're such a better coach and workout guy than you are a player.
• 36:50
  SPEAKER_00: And I had to convince him of that.
• 36:52
  SPEAKER_00: And he bought into it.
• 36:53
  And he's now a head coach at a prep school level out in Vegas
• 36:57
  and doing a great job
• 36:58
  SPEAKER_00: of working out WNBA players and working out NBA guys during the summer.
• 37:02
  But Jamal Gaines did a great job of being kind of like my
• 37:06
  assistant that year.
• 37:07
  SPEAKER_00: And then last year, I was able to take a former player
• 37:10
  SPEAKER_00: And he had to finish graduating and he was on the bench with us.
• 37:13
  SPEAKER_00: And he was we used him every single ball screen we had.
• 37:17
  Paul Whitby was clipping them and really looking at each one
• 37:20
  and making sure we're
• 37:21
  SPEAKER_00: in the right positions defensively and leading our team in that area.
• 37:25
  SPEAKER_00: So those things are so critical at this level.
• 37:28
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 37:29
  Entering the home stretch here and just coaches that are
• 37:32
  listening to this,
• 37:32
  SPEAKER_02: a reminder,
• 37:33
  SPEAKER_02: if you have a question,
• 37:34
  please be sure to send it down there in the Q and a box and
• 37:37
  we'll get to those at
• 37:38
  SPEAKER_02: the end.
• 37:39
  SPEAKER_02: I've got a few quick hitters here to finish from you guys,
• 37:43
  SPEAKER_02: Rob,
• 37:43
  SPEAKER_02: I'll let you go first with this,
• 37:45
  SPEAKER_02: a prep hack that you use that might help some other coaches.
• 37:51
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, prep hack.
• 37:52
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, the AI self-scout.
• 37:55
  SPEAKER_00: Let the AI self-scout run and get your data in there.
• 37:59
  SPEAKER_00: And then you go back and start to pull the clips.
• 38:01
  SPEAKER_00: Like if it says you're a bad rebounding team, go pull your rebound.
• 38:04
  It will do the work for you so that you don't just have to comb
• 38:09
  through all the game film.
• 38:11
  Like you might have a one-day prep and you hit that self-scout
• 38:14
  and you played,
• 38:15
  SPEAKER_00: you're going to be at,
• 38:16
  SPEAKER_00: like I said,
• 38:16
  SPEAKER_00: 12 games,
• 38:17
  SPEAKER_00: 11 games.
• 38:17
  SPEAKER_00: Bam.
• 38:18
  SPEAKER_00: Read it.
• 38:19
  SPEAKER_00: See where you're at statistically.
• 38:21
  SPEAKER_00: Let it do the work for you.
• 38:22
  And then you turn around and you go quickly pull those clips
• 38:25
  out of Huttoinstat and
• 38:27
  SPEAKER_00: you'll see the problems that you have.
• 38:29
  SPEAKER_02: Cam?
• 38:32
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, that...
• 38:34
  SPEAKER_01: That's a good question.
• 38:35
  SPEAKER_01: Like I said, I always like to watch it.
• 38:37
  SPEAKER_01: And now we do have access to,
• 38:42
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 38:42
  some of the AI and and but I I think it kind of goes back to a
• 38:49
  little bit of what
• 38:50
  SPEAKER_01: we were just talking previously,
• 38:52
  SPEAKER_01: like to kind of to kind of
• 38:55
  SPEAKER_01: With like,
• 38:56
  SPEAKER_01: as an example,
• 38:58
  SPEAKER_01: our student assistant or our graduate assistant,
• 39:01
  SPEAKER_01: as they kind of progress with things,
• 39:05
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 39:06
  SPEAKER_01: to kind of give them a little more responsibility,
• 39:08
  SPEAKER_01: like it started with them just clipping film for me,
• 39:10
  SPEAKER_01: like clipping personnel.
• 39:11
  SPEAKER_01: And now, you know, they're
• 39:14
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 39:15
  SPEAKER_01: they're uploading,
• 39:16
  SPEAKER_01: they're putting information into the scout as well too,
• 39:18
  SPEAKER_01: but to maybe trust,
• 39:19
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 39:20
  SPEAKER_01: to trust some of those guys a little bit as well too,
• 39:21
  and kind of delegate or to be able to delegate if you have some
• 39:25
  of the proper
• 39:25
  SPEAKER_01: personnel that,
• 39:27
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 39:28
  SPEAKER_01: they can help you instead of me doing everything,
• 39:31
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 39:32
  SPEAKER_01: they can help you along the way.
• 39:34
  SPEAKER_01: And like I said, kind of some of the AI, like I was like,
• 39:38
  I always like to watch it first and then to go back and kind of
• 39:43
  assess my eyes with
• 39:45
  SPEAKER_01: the analytics.
• 39:48
  SPEAKER_01: I guess that's a little bit more of my routine,
• 39:50
  SPEAKER_01: but to use,
• 39:53
  SPEAKER_01: if you have others that can help,
• 39:56
  SPEAKER_01: to use that help as well.
• 39:58
  SPEAKER_02: Mine is probably not a hack, but it's very simple.
• 40:01
  SPEAKER_02: It helps me a lot though.
• 40:02
  SPEAKER_02: It's just the template feature on Fast Scout.
• 40:05
  SPEAKER_02: Saves me even more time once I get it set up.
• 40:07
  I can put what I want on there,
• 40:09
  what I care about most,
• 40:11
  what I want my team to pay attention to.
• 40:13
  SPEAKER_02: And then I don't have to, I save it as its own template.
• 40:16
  SPEAKER_02: And then I get that template every single time.
• 40:19
  SPEAKER_02: And that just makes it so much faster for filling out things.
• 40:22
  SPEAKER_02: Again, emphasizing things.
• 40:24
  SPEAKER_02: I can quickly take away maybe a box that I don't want from before.
• 40:27
  And probably on the player personnel cam,
• 40:29
  you showed it on like that second page there.
• 40:32
  SPEAKER_02: Even those small boxes underneath,
• 40:34
  SPEAKER_02: I can have them look exactly like I want to every single time.
• 40:38
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 40:39
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 40:40
  SPEAKER_02: All right.
• 40:41
  SPEAKER_02: Let me ask you follow up in regards to the fast model features.
• 40:44
  We haven't talked a whole lot about that,
• 40:45
  but you've showed some of those even camp.
• 40:47
  Anything that you coaches maybe think that people are under
• 40:50
  utilizing that they
• 40:51
  SPEAKER_02: could take advantage of?
• 40:56
  SPEAKER_00: I think the fast draw for building your playbook is critical.
• 41:00
  SPEAKER_00: This time last year, I was still handwriting and drawing our plays.
• 41:04
  SPEAKER_00: And so we finally got to a point where we got fast draw.
• 41:08
  SPEAKER_00: And then I took the summer to really build our break in there,
• 41:12
  SPEAKER_00: started to add some things I knew I would run.
• 41:14
  And now as the season's gone along,
• 41:15
  I'm able to build it inside my laptop.
• 41:18
  SPEAKER_00: And I think that's been one of the biggest advantages for me.
• 41:21
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 41:26
  SPEAKER_01: You know, like...
• 41:28
  SPEAKER_01: Tony,
• 41:29
  SPEAKER_01: I'll,
• 41:29
  SPEAKER_01: I'll still use,
• 41:30
  SPEAKER_01: um,
• 41:31
  SPEAKER_01: and I've got it on the,
• 41:32
  SPEAKER_01: on my,
• 41:33
  SPEAKER_01: uh,
• 41:34
  SPEAKER_01: timeline here at the bottom as well too,
• 41:35
  SPEAKER_01: but like,
• 41:35
  SPEAKER_01: I'll still use some of the,
• 41:37
  SPEAKER_01: the old,
• 41:37
  SPEAKER_01: like the desktop version of some fast draw.
• 41:40
  SPEAKER_01: Um,
• 41:40
  SPEAKER_01: and then,
• 41:41
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 41:42
  SPEAKER_01: if I'm diagramming something,
• 41:43
  SPEAKER_01: then I can,
• 41:44
  SPEAKER_01: you can still with the online version with huddle,
• 41:49
  SPEAKER_01: like you can still go from the desktop version to the online version,
• 41:52
  SPEAKER_01: but you can't go the other way,
• 41:53
  SPEAKER_01: uh,
• 41:54
  SPEAKER_01: for the,
• 41:55
  SPEAKER_01: from the new online version to the desktop version.
• 41:57
  SPEAKER_01: But then, um,
• 41:59
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah,
• 41:59
  SPEAKER_01: like,
• 41:59
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 42:00
  SPEAKER_01: kind of using that fast draw,
• 42:02
  SPEAKER_01: like,
• 42:02
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 42:07
  SPEAKER_01: I guess I take that,
• 42:08
  SPEAKER_01: like,
• 42:09
  SPEAKER_01: I'll still put,
• 42:10
  SPEAKER_01: like,
• 42:11
  SPEAKER_01: I'll still attach the PDF to the Scout if the guys want to watch that.
• 42:15
  SPEAKER_01: And then I'll have the actions that match those diagrams.
• 42:21
  SPEAKER_01: And then, like I presented in our Northwestern Scout, like,
• 42:26
  SPEAKER_01: If there's four or five just just highlights,
• 42:30
  SPEAKER_01: as I referenced some of those out of bounds plays with the back screen.
• 42:35
  If it's if it's something to maybe emphasize a little bit
• 42:38
  further or to maybe we
• 42:39
  SPEAKER_01: talk about it on the second day as well,
• 42:41
  SPEAKER_01: two of our scout,
• 42:43
  SPEAKER_01: like the morning,
• 42:44
  SPEAKER_01: the morning of our game.
• 42:46
  you know then guys can guys can access the diagram the video um
• 42:51
  everything right
• 42:52
  there within that as well too so again like there's there's
• 42:56
  many different ways
• 42:56
  that you can you can do it but um as you talk about that
• 43:00
  template right like we
• 43:01
  have our template set up and and then you know we'll put put
• 43:05
  some film in there uh
• 43:06
  SPEAKER_01: to match the diagrams and and and then um
• 43:10
  SPEAKER_01: On the back end of that,
• 43:11
  SPEAKER_01: we might have some higher priority things that we want to talk about,
• 43:15
  SPEAKER_01: but guys have access to it if they want to watch it.
• 43:20
  SPEAKER_01: Maybe some of our better guys watch more of it,
• 43:25
  but they have access to it to watch along the way too if they
• 43:30
  need it or want it.
• 43:33
  SPEAKER_02: I'm sure there's no way to track this,
• 43:34
  SPEAKER_02: but as far as PDF creation out of fast model,
• 43:38
  SPEAKER_02: I probably rival anybody else out there,
• 43:41
  even being able to just simply print like our playbook or like
• 43:44
  three plays,
• 43:45
  SPEAKER_02: or I have a coach the other day that asked me,
• 43:47
  can you give me some drills and threw together five drills and
• 43:50
  put them together as
• 43:51
  SPEAKER_02: a PDF for our team.
• 43:53
  SPEAKER_02: I take that and then upload that to our group chat.
• 43:55
  SPEAKER_02: And the guys are always asking me,
• 43:56
  SPEAKER_02: Hey,
• 43:56
  do you have a playbook of our 40 series or of our 50 series of
• 43:59
  our blobs or,
• 44:01
  And then like we were talking about earlier,
• 44:02
  the ability to couple that with film.
• 44:05
  If I send them something on on huddle and they're able to have
• 44:08
  that there where
• 44:08
  SPEAKER_02: they can look at the plays while they're watching it out on the court,
• 44:12
  I think is another way just when you're talking about teaching
• 44:14
  and learning to
• 44:16
  reinforce that that kind of stuff to their players and help
• 44:18
  with the learning
• 44:19
  SPEAKER_02: process.
• 44:19
  SPEAKER_02: So that would be my.
• 44:21
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 44:22
  SPEAKER_01: And Tony,
• 44:22
  SPEAKER_01: I think kind of one thing to maybe add to that as well,
• 44:24
  SPEAKER_01: too,
• 44:25
  as far as sports code related and kind of a little bit with
• 44:29
  what Rob was talking
• 44:30
  SPEAKER_01: about,
• 44:31
  SPEAKER_01: but as far as playbook,
• 44:33
  SPEAKER_01: but,
• 44:33
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 44:34
  SPEAKER_01: say,
• 44:34
  SPEAKER_01: for example,
• 44:34
  SPEAKER_01: as you talk about playbook and you talk about maybe some practice clips,
• 44:39
  like I'll kind of go back through our practice clips or game
• 44:42
  clips and then kind
• 44:44
  kind of the nice thing about sports code is then I will send
• 44:47
  those to the organizers.
• 44:48
  SPEAKER_01: So like,
• 44:49
  SPEAKER_01: as you talk about your,
• 44:51
  SPEAKER_01: maybe your PDF playbook,
• 44:52
  SPEAKER_01: I've got a video playbook of every defensive drill.
• 44:58
  SPEAKER_01: If it's one-on-one,
• 44:59
  SPEAKER_01: if it's guarding in the post,
• 45:00
  SPEAKER_01: if it's shell,
• 45:01
  SPEAKER_01: if it's defending the ball screen,
• 45:04
  SPEAKER_01: I've got those.
• 45:04
  SPEAKER_01: And then I've also, I'll also save some of our game flips that might be,
• 45:11
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 45:12
  SPEAKER_01: some of those situational things,
• 45:13
  SPEAKER_01: whether like say,
• 45:14
  SPEAKER_01: for example,
• 45:16
  SPEAKER_01: if there's a zone teaching clip that I wanna save.
• 45:18
  So really I'm taking all of that in sports code and keeping
• 45:23
  that information.
• 45:24
  SPEAKER_01: So it's kind of my video playbook rather than a PDF playbook.
• 45:29
  SPEAKER_01: And I think that's one thing that,
• 45:31
  SPEAKER_01: again,
• 45:32
  SPEAKER_01: I kind of referenced just being more visually oriented.
• 45:36
  SPEAKER_01: I think that's one thing that to kind of take,
• 45:39
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 45:39
  the reference as you're maybe referencing your practice plans
• 45:43
  or referencing the
• 45:43
  SPEAKER_01: next season or coming back to it at some point in time as well,
• 45:46
  SPEAKER_01: too.
• 45:46
  SPEAKER_01: And just say,
• 45:47
  SPEAKER_01: hey,
• 45:47
  SPEAKER_01: here's maybe with your coaching staff,
• 45:49
  SPEAKER_01: like,
• 45:50
  SPEAKER_01: hey,
• 45:50
  SPEAKER_01: here's how we taught this or do we need to change how we're teaching it?
• 45:53
  Or,
• 45:54
  you know,
• 45:54
  like I think it's just always a point of reference that that
• 45:57
  you can have.
• 45:57
  SPEAKER_01: But it's a it's a video playbook rather than a PDF playbook.
• 46:02
  SPEAKER_00: I think it was two Sundays ago maybe, or maybe it's been three Sundays.
• 46:06
  SPEAKER_00: We did a one-hour full execution, half court.
• 46:09
  SPEAKER_00: We ran our break.
• 46:10
  SPEAKER_00: We ran every single thing in our action, and it's there.
• 46:12
  It's in the video,
• 46:14
  and anytime they need access to it,
• 46:16
  they got it by their phone.
• 46:17
  SPEAKER_00: They can watch it the night before a game.
• 46:19
  SPEAKER_00: If they got a question, I can say, hey, to pull up the video playbook.
• 46:22
  SPEAKER_00: All four of them are still up there for the last four years.
• 46:26
  SPEAKER_02: That's great.
• 46:26
  SPEAKER_02: I like that.
• 46:27
  SPEAKER_02: I like that a lot.
• 46:27
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 46:28
  SPEAKER_02: Last call for any questions from coaches that are watching.
• 46:31
  SPEAKER_02: I do have a couple of questions here.
• 46:33
  SPEAKER_02: And if somebody has an additional one, we can add it in here.
• 46:36
  SPEAKER_02: This is for both of you.
• 46:38
  How do you handle a scout for a team that has a completely
• 46:42
  different style than the
• 46:43
  SPEAKER_02: team that you just played 48 hours ago,
• 46:46
  SPEAKER_02: or I'm even thinking 28 hours ago or 24 hours ago,
• 46:51
  SPEAKER_02: for instance,
• 46:52
  SPEAKER_02: in something like a tournament setting?
• 46:58
  SPEAKER_00: I'll run with it.
• 46:59
  SPEAKER_00: I'm going through it right now.
• 47:00
  SPEAKER_00: So we played Tuesday night, and now we're playing Thursday night.
• 47:02
  SPEAKER_00: So we had one day in between.
• 47:05
  SPEAKER_00: Francis Marion is totally different than Virginia State.
• 47:08
  SPEAKER_00: They're very guard-oriented,
• 47:10
  and Virginia State is one of the bigger teams in the country at
• 47:14
  the Division II
• 47:14
  SPEAKER_00: level,
• 47:15
  SPEAKER_00: and they're going to be all over the glass.
• 47:16
  SPEAKER_00: So we took – and we got pressed Tuesday night.
• 47:20
  SPEAKER_00: So we had to – we struggled a little bit with the press.
• 47:22
  SPEAKER_00: We're going to see some 2-2-1 tonight.
• 47:25
  SPEAKER_00: So it's kind of one of those things where –
• 47:27
  SPEAKER_00: I think you talk about it inside your terminology,
• 47:31
  but you show from Tuesday night's game some mistakes in your
• 47:35
  press that you made
• 47:37
  SPEAKER_00: position-wise.
• 47:38
  SPEAKER_00: And then for us,
• 47:39
  we went back to how Virginia State played us the first time in
• 47:43
  the 2-2-1 and some
• 47:44
  SPEAKER_00: mistakes we made there.
• 47:46
  And then we were able to show some times where we really
• 47:48
  attacked the press well
• 47:50
  SPEAKER_00: against Virginia State.
• 47:51
  SPEAKER_00: And that's kind of how I've done it.
• 47:53
  SPEAKER_00: They're two different teams, two totally different size players.
• 47:57
  SPEAKER_00: And press versus not,
• 47:59
  like really get after you press versus a 2-2-1 trying to slow
• 48:03
  you up a little bit.
• 48:04
  SPEAKER_00: That's kind of how I did it.
• 48:06
  SPEAKER_01: And I think maybe one thing to add to that,
• 48:08
  SPEAKER_01: too,
• 48:08
  SPEAKER_01: as far as a different style,
• 48:10
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 48:10
  we just we just played back to back and just that second game
• 48:14
  sometimes is well,
• 48:16
  SPEAKER_01: too.
• 48:16
  SPEAKER_01: It's always a little tougher,
• 48:18
  maybe a tougher because you don't maybe you don't have the
• 48:20
  floor time or maybe you
• 48:23
  SPEAKER_01: just maybe you don't have the time.
• 48:25
  SPEAKER_01: But, you know, one of the things that we did recently as well, too, is.
• 48:28
  SPEAKER_01: just referencing,
• 48:29
  SPEAKER_01: um,
• 48:30
  SPEAKER_01: a previous scout or a previous team,
• 48:33
  SPEAKER_01: um,
• 48:34
  SPEAKER_01: or a team that we played previously and kind of,
• 48:37
  SPEAKER_01: uh,
• 48:37
  SPEAKER_01: they,
• 48:37
  maybe they had similar styles of play and we could kind of
• 48:41
  reference that and say,
• 48:42
  SPEAKER_01: Hey,
• 48:42
  SPEAKER_01: here's,
• 48:43
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 48:43
  SPEAKER_01: here's what we did in,
• 48:44
  SPEAKER_01: in a game in November,
• 48:46
  SPEAKER_01: um,
• 48:47
  SPEAKER_01: to kind of bring,
• 48:47
  SPEAKER_01: to kind of bring guys back to that game specifically,
• 48:50
  SPEAKER_01: as far as maybe what we did,
• 48:52
  SPEAKER_01: as far as press break or,
• 48:53
  SPEAKER_01: um,
• 48:55
  SPEAKER_01: You know,
• 48:55
  SPEAKER_01: handling the press and so it was kind of a different opponent,
• 49:00
  but to maybe reference a previous scout or preparation that we
• 49:05
  have done and to
• 49:07
  kind of tie that into this game where maybe we didn't have a
• 49:11
  lot of time to do it.
• 49:14
  SPEAKER_02: Let me make this the last one.
• 49:15
  This is probably an entire podcast episode or another webinar,
• 49:21
  but I'll ask it anyways.
• 49:23
  SPEAKER_02: How do you bridge the gap between the scouting report,
• 49:27
  SPEAKER_02: the film,
• 49:29
  and then actually executing on the practice court that then
• 49:34
  allows you to execute
• 49:36
  SPEAKER_02: on the game floor?
• 49:37
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 49:40
  SPEAKER_01: Rob, you want to go first?
• 49:42
  SPEAKER_00: Wow.
• 49:43
  SPEAKER_00: I think you talked about it earlier in this session of,
• 49:48
  SPEAKER_00: one,
• 49:49
  SPEAKER_00: you've got to demand from your team that they're going to play hard,
• 49:51
  SPEAKER_00: right?
• 49:52
  You've got to have the right level of intensity,
• 49:54
  and this is every day in practice.
• 49:56
  It's going to take months to get to this,
• 49:58
  but your kids have got to be able to play hard first.
• 50:01
  That's going to be your basis as a coach and playing at the
• 50:04
  intensity that you
• 50:05
  SPEAKER_00: require your team to play at.
• 50:08
  SPEAKER_00: I really do believe this.
• 50:09
  And the older I've gotten,
• 50:11
  this is year 26,
• 50:12
  you're not going to out-coach anybody,
• 50:15
  right?
• 50:15
  SPEAKER_00: Everybody's going to have the same technology.
• 50:18
  I think keeping it simple,
• 50:21
  like my dad would say to me all the time,
• 50:22
  keep it simple,
• 50:23
  stupid.
• 50:24
  SPEAKER_00: And I just, I think you do got to try to keep it as simple as possible.
• 50:28
  SPEAKER_00: It's got to be in short versions.
• 50:31
  SPEAKER_00: And it's got to be visual.
• 50:33
  SPEAKER_00: And I think if you can,
• 50:34
  SPEAKER_00: those three things,
• 50:35
  along with what you started back in August is the intensity
• 50:39
  that you're going to
• 50:39
  play with and the toughness and the playing hard that you're
• 50:42
  going to play with.
• 50:42
  SPEAKER_00: If you can combine those four things, I think you have a chance.
• 50:48
  SPEAKER_01: And I think just having,
• 50:50
  SPEAKER_01: as you kind of talk about,
• 50:51
  SPEAKER_01: Rob,
• 50:52
  SPEAKER_01: like keeping it simple,
• 50:52
  SPEAKER_01: like having enough tools as we're talking about,
• 50:56
  SPEAKER_01: scout,
• 50:56
  SPEAKER_01: film,
• 50:57
  SPEAKER_01: practice.
• 50:58
  SPEAKER_01: Like sometimes,
• 50:58
  SPEAKER_01: I guess,
• 50:59
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 51:00
  SPEAKER_01: we might go to practice and we're saying,
• 51:02
  SPEAKER_01: hey,
• 51:02
  SPEAKER_01: we want to guard this action this way.
• 51:05
  SPEAKER_01: And we get into practice, we're like, I don't know.
• 51:08
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 51:09
  Maybe we change a little bit of our prep work as how we're
• 51:16
  going to approach that.
• 51:18
  SPEAKER_01: I think you still got to play,
• 51:20
  SPEAKER_01: and we've talked about this too,
• 51:21
  SPEAKER_01: you still got to play to your strengths and what you do well.
• 51:27
  SPEAKER_01: If you have to double in the post, is it a dig?
• 51:32
  SPEAKER_01: Is it a double?
• 51:33
  SPEAKER_01: Where are you doubling from?
• 51:34
  SPEAKER_01: Who are you digging?
• 51:36
  SPEAKER_01: There's a lot of different things, but
• 51:39
  again like you can't you can't bog the players down where now
• 51:43
  they're thinking and
• 51:44
  now you're not playing fast defensively or you know if they're
• 51:48
  thinking out there
• 51:49
  then you have no chance like it and again that kind of goes
• 51:53
  back to keeping it
• 51:54
  simple having the tools in that you need to have to really
• 51:57
  combat hopefully combat
• 51:58
  every opponent right like I think that that's kind of how how
• 52:02
  we we try to think of
• 52:03
  SPEAKER_01: it a little bit as well too but um
• 52:07
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 52:07
  You got to it has to be simple because you have to play fast
• 52:11
  and guys can't be thinking.
• 52:12
  SPEAKER_01: And if they're thinking, I don't think you have any chance.
• 52:15
  SPEAKER_00: I think that's a really good point.
• 52:16
  SPEAKER_00: I mean,
• 52:17
  it's it's a reaction game and you got to train the reaction and
• 52:21
  it takes time to do
• 52:22
  SPEAKER_00: that.
• 52:24
  SPEAKER_02: A perfect place to stop.
• 52:26
  SPEAKER_02: I'll end it there.
• 52:27
