• What should be the expectations for our staff?
  
  
• How should we split up the responsibilities?
  
  
• What is our most effective way to communicate updates on responsibilities?

During the season, it is very tough to spend any time on staff development. We believe that just like you ask your players to work on their game during the off-season, the coaching staff also needs to sharpen their skills. We believe that there are five areas for each coach to work on and that coaches should have an individual development plan, just like players have an individual workout plan. The five areas to develop are:

1.   Technical Knowledge of the game of Basketball.
2.   Ability to teach the game of Basketball.
3.   Ability to build a team
4.   Ability to develop players to bring out the best in them.
5.   Leadership Skills
