struggling with my team

[bigjohn]

I coach basketball. My team has lost 9 games in a row. I've been coaching for 18 years and have never had a season like this. We're young, the kids are still playing hard, but we aren't improving and I am having a hard time dealing with losing (I've only had one sub-.500 season in my career).

So, cheer me up fuggers.

It's simple. Find your best player, run your offense through him. Lots of pick and rolls and lots of spacing to get him one on one inside. That's what my nephew's coach did with him when they were struggling. Once you get teams thinking "oh, they're just going to feed this one kid. Let's double him", then you can get back to more balance.

Defensively just try trapping like hell if you haven't already.

Or, if none of that works, follow previous advice and start throwing chairs and cussing out the kids.

Swifty?

The sun don't shine on the same dogs ass, all the time!

You need an enforcer like they have in Hockey... have one big kid foul the crap out of the other teams best players...

Then look at this, it will cheer you up...

Thanks guys. Not for the shitty advice, but for the bewbs.

High school varsity team...we're young and if I can get a good off-season from them we'll be ok next year. Just trying to end this season on a high note.

You need to instill more swag in them.

Change practice. Focus on something entirely and not dwell on the obvious. They need to have fun and get thier confidence back.
