Unselfishness
We started another season last night and got a good win against likely one of the best teams on the schedule this season. Winning was important because it covers up chemistry problems and will help our young team's confidence, as well as hopefully help them to continue to buy in to what we are teaching each day in practice. After watching the film however,and thinking more about the game, it is clear to me that we have a long way to go if we are going to be any where near as good as we want to be. Shot selection, so important in our offense, was truly abysmal throughout most of the game - particularly in the first half. It has to get better if we are going to improve as a team. The challenge is how do you get your kids to think unselfish thoughts, to speak unselfish words, and most importantly, to demonstrate unselfishness in their actions on the court? I believe how much success we ultimately have meeting that challenge will determine the course of this season.
