I do agree that the players should be working hard on their individual skills with direction from the staff.  A coaching staff needs to be proactive and tell the player what to work on and help them make adjustments, like shooting form.  Post moves.  How to react to a double team etc   They should do some technical coaching, and then the players should take the technical coaching and work on it on their own time if they want to be great.

One thing I will be putting responsibility on the coaches is being able to put players in the correct positions to maximize their talents while also helping the team overall.

If they are lazy and not hustling, pull them out and coach them as to why they are pulled out and put them back in.

If you are telling them in the huddle to do one thing and a players does something different than what you want, pull him from the game, coach him up, and put him back in.

If Donnie is sitting at the three-point line doing nothing, tell him to get is ACE into the post and in the paint and if he doesn't pull him out of the game explain to him what is going on and put him back in.

If JJ isn't passing off his drives where he creates tons of space for players and instead chucking up some of those weird ACE shots, then pull him out the game, tell him what you need, and get him back in.
