quint Wrote:K may retire 1st.
I'm ordering his coaching dvd for Christmas.
When you are passionate, you always have your destination in sight and you are not distracted by obstacles. I'm still very passionate about coaching. The record would be nice, but a common mistake among those who work in sport is spending a disproportional amount of time on things like "x's and o's" and numbers as compared to time spent learning about people. The people still fulfill me, and leading these young men is what I will continue to do. I don't look at myself as a basketball coach. I look at myself as a leader who happens to coach basketball.
Excellent move getting the coaching dvd. I'd recommend the following:
Duke's Team Defense (1999)
With Mike Krzyzewski, Head Men's Basketball Coach, Duke University Team Defense shows how you can transform five individual players into a single, basket-denying unit. From Duke's trademark man-to-man defense to the half-court and full-court zone trap, this video is a complete clinic on denying the opponent the ball aand the basket. Coach K covers each of his key defensive principles, explains why they are important, and instructs and drills his players to execute essential techniques and tactics properly.
Studio: Human Kinetics. 45 minutes.

Duke's Transition Game (1999)
The Blue Devils' emphasis on beating their opponents in both offensive and defensive transition has become a hallmark of their success. Very rarely do they give up an easy fastbreak basket, while they score many breakaway buckets themselves. In this video, Coach K explains how your team can consistently gain the advantage in transition by quickly moving to the right positions, recognizing opportunities, and aggressively taking advantage of turnovers.

This video provides a rare and unique behind-the-scenes look at how Coach K and his staff plan and conduct their practices to produce powerhouse teams. From overall season objectives to specific player teaching points, this video shows you how to transfer Duke's blueprint for success to your players. Each element of practice is broken down into modules of instruction as Coach K teaches, corrects, reinforces, and attends to all aspects of the game.
