Episode notes
Timeouts to Stop Early Runs
- Call a timeout immediately if the opposition scores a 7-0 run early in the game.
- This helps settle the team and prevent losing momentum, especially in the first quarter.
Alternative Ways to Stop Runs
- Use substitutions frequently to create stoppages and disrupt opponent momentum if timeouts aren't available.
- Consider fouling to stop runs and create opportunities to communicate with the team during free throws.
Foul Trouble Management
- Manage foul trouble by assessing player IQ and position; hide foul-prone players with zone or less aggressive defense.
- Avoid benching players excessively early to maintain rhythm and minutes.
