I remember our first scrimmages when I coached. Each one got markedly better.  I anticipate the same for this team.  Everyone is just running around doing basic defense and offense.  You continue to fine tune and lock in defensively and eventually learn to play to your strengths on offense. They will come up with offensive sets through their motion that gets the shots you want and from whom. This will also allow better offensive rebounding chances.  This is the time of year where you have everything going through your head that you feel you still need to put in place.  I’m sure Red’s head is swimming right now. Out of bounds situations under the basket, on the wing, and inbounding against pressure.  How do we want to defend these situations; end of game situations, secondary breaks, attacks against all kind of full court pressure, etc. He also needs to think how teams will play to stop his better players.  Red will continue to adjust after every time they play a game.  Figure out your base and go from there.  Last night was a good start.  It really helps when you have options.
