The Transforming Basketball Podcast

- Stop using the word "fundamental" in basketball, as it limits skill development.
- Instead, promote "functionality," which emphasizes adaptable skills applicable to diverse game situations.
- Encourage players to develop a range of techniques for passing, shooting, finishing, and defense, rather than rigidly adhering to traditional fundamentals.
- Create training environments that promote variability and adaptability, allowing players to explore different movement solutions.
- If a player relies on repetitive techniques, intervene to encourage exploration and expand their skill set.
