Like you said that should be the standard but someone is always the best at something, he is the best at visualizing the fast break or next possession.Cool. I forgot that Bilas had been an assistant to K for two(?) years. But, this camp is for players and coaches, so who's coaching the coaches?
Anyway... someone or some people in other threads characterized certain decisions or non-decisions from our staff as "coaching malpractice." There are elements to the game that, once recognized, absolutely should be emulated, and not doing so sorta constitutes 'malpractice' to me. One such thing:
Watch Tyrese Haliburton. Any time he receives a pass after a made basket, his body is either parallel to the sidelines, or he's already facing his team's basket upcourt and on the move. So, that he has the earliest possible vision of where everyone is and where they're moving. I need to find a video of this—i remember someone making specific mention of it a year or so ago. This kind of thing ought to be the standard. There are lots of similar examples of how an individual player, through maybe an idiosyncratic habit or method, makes his team better.
Ooh, here's a whole webpage about Haliburton, with vids:
A good rule for players is they should always receive an outlet with their heels facing the sidelines. They can see in front and back and the outlet pass won’t get picked off. If the defense tries to cut and steal the pass, you either cut towards the ball or the passer throws over the top. Devo was terrible catching the ball with his back to where he was going. He would turn right into the defensive player or likely get called for a travel. He wasn’t the only one, but he did it often.Cool. I forgot that Bilas had been an assistant to K for two(?) years.

They’re just gonna go ahead and use ChatGPT.Any word on new assistant coach hires?
Did we have 1 or 2 slots open on staff according to Wildhack's presser (I can't remember.)
I want our coaches to wear suits at the games again.Coach B is at the Bilas Camp now for the coaches clinic part…

I think the more casual attire makes more sense, especially for head coaches. They are moving around, sweating, etc. A suit doesn't seem very conducive to that.I want our coaches to wear suits at the games again.
I got a copy of the day one agenda:Jay Bilas holding a coaching clinic with 2 years of assistant coaching experience is an all time duke move.
you left off the sessions about teaching kids to take a charge, and why slapping the floor on defense is just a cool thing to doI got a copy of the day one agenda:
8am-10am- Why announcers know better than coaches
10am-10:15 Break
10:15am-12pm Why players are better off at Duke
12pm-1pm Cocktails, Lots of Cocktails
1pm-3pm Guest Speakers who actually coached for a while
3pm-3:15pm Break/Cocktails
3:15pm-4:15pm Coach K documentary (ESPN productions; Commercials partially edited)
4:15pm-5pm Former Duke Coaches Round Table
5pm-??? Dinner and more Cocktails
For some reason there isn't a day 2 agenda.
