After watching this little video clip from ESPN on Coach Wooden I am amazed that he didn’t scout the other teams or worried too much about wins and losses. Funny that they mention that because some of the best and most successful teams that I have played for spent minimal time on the other teams plays. We did go over the players and what their tendencies were but worried more about what we were going to do and how the other team was going to stop us. Players have a attention span like a 2 year old sometime and making things simple and to the point is often the best way to go about things. In saying that there are coaches that are successful that scout the shit out of the other team but in my experience the coaches that kept it simple were the most successful.
