As a youth basketball coach, or a coach of any youth sport, should you run up the score against the other team? It's the age old question of developing a killer mentality in your players versus letting the other team develop a love for the game. This discussion came up between Kendrick Perkins and Richard Jefferson recently and sparked a massive debate online, so we had to give our two cents on the matter here on The Hours.

Like it or not, the game of basketball is moving to a more "positionless" format. You can't just be tall and stand under the rim to be successful in today's game. The good news is there are certain skills that every single player can and should develop in order to elevate themselves at any position. Size doesn't matter, speed doesn't matter... honing these 3 skills will set you up for success regardless of all those things.

Catch part 1 of this conversation on the Coaching Culture Podcast Ep. 445: https://youtu.be/ZcTzGfBvsXA

When things aren't going right, most coaches ask the wrong question. They jump straight to "is this a culture problem?" without asking whether they've actually taught their players well. In this episode, Tyler and Mark sit down with JP Nerbun (Coaching Culture Podcast) to tackle one of the most honest questions in coaching: how do you know if losing is a people problem, a teaching problem, or just a timeline problem?

This conversation goes deep on why coaching and culture aren't two separate things, how to use constraints to grow as a coach, what it actually looks like to get better between seasons, and why enforcing your standards now will pay off more than you think. If you coach high school, youth, or college basketball and want to think more clearly about what's actually costing you wins -- this one's for you.
