Comment Regarding article: “How the International Basketball Community Stole the USA’s Dominance
June 18th 2008
Two days ago I received this response to an article I wrote on the shifting of power in the international basketball community.
This readers comments are below:
Randy,
I just read your article, How the International Basketball Community Stole the USA’s Dominance. I wholeheartedly agree with your points!! Unfortunately, I don’t see any significant changes occurring. I wish I could be more optimistic.
I think societal changes affected the entire teaching-learning process in basketball, as well as in the schools. As you pointed out the change in teaching from the 70s to the mid-80s was significant and detrimental. The free enterprise system kicked in, and more and more summer camps were conducted in air-conditioned gyms with players staying in air-conditioned dorms and eating in air-conditioned cafeterias. Then coaches got smart (or dumb) and realized that they could get more kids to come if the kids were told they were going to play three games a day. Money won out over teaching of basketball basics.
I think you’re also right on about the whole AAU scene. I was called out of retirement to assist a girls coach at a small high school. The head guy thinks it is wonderful that he was able to bring an AAU coach on-board. This will give our girls more opportunity to play, which is true, but it will also give those girls the time to reinforce habits, whether they be good or bad.
I wish I had an answer, but I don’t. Playing games is more fun for 99% of the kids (and their parents) than sweating in the gym while they’re learning and improving their basketball skills.

My Take on Certification for Basketball Coaches
June 18th 2008
If accountants, doctors, athletic referees, trainers and teachers are required to be certified why aren’t basketball coaches.
I wish that hoop coaches were held to the same rigorous training that accounting students encounter in their 4 years of training for their future profession.
Take a look at the link to my recent article and post your comment. You may also email me at rb@coachrb.com.
Follow up to Post on Coaching Regrets………good ideas!
June 8th 2008
As a follow up to my comment in a post a few days ago about REGRETS in COACHING, I received this comment from one of the Leaders of the Yahoo Groups CoahcingBasketball Discussion group.
GREAT COMMENTS and real life experiences from a veteran coach!
Read Below;
Randy,
I agree with this…. as far as basketball went, my assistant and I went out after every game… we critiqued what we did… wrote down what we thought were areas that needed to be improved upon… then we used them as “situations” in the following practices.
I know a lot of us do that… I wonder how many look at their personal lives the same way? What was it that someone said… it doesn’t make any difference how many times you get knocked down.. it matters how many times you get up.
Short story, I was relating this to a freshman who was going through a lot of problems… I asked him this question and he said get up… I repeated it several times… finally he said…. ” I would get up and run like hell! “ LOL We had a good laugh. I just had lunch with this young man the other day… he is like 39 or so…. guess he kept getting back up.

Biggest Coaching Mistake…..what is yours?
June 7th 2008
We all make mistakes, knowingly or unknowingly, many times in our coaching.
The Biggest regret to me is NOT learning from previous mistakes and repeating them!
Live and learn, stumble and get up, fall and rise!
Life’s lessons and your faith can also follow the same path in this regard,
My two cents,

This is a monthly program that adds great value and benefit to the Teleseminar, The Path to College Coaching!
