What it is
- The coaching staff uses this time to analyze what worked, what failed, and what to adjust.
How it works
- Quick Viewing: Watch 10-15 key possessions on instant replay (what happened on defense? What happened on offense?).
- Identify Trends: Notice patterns (opponent's Anchor Big is dominating the post, our Slashers are open every drive, our Shot Creator is not getting the ball).
- Prescribe Adjustment: Based on trends, decide the change (double the Anchor Big, feed the Shot Creator more, attack the offense's weakest defender).
- Communicate Adjustment: Explain to players why the adjustment is necessary and how to execute it.
