Winning Close Games

Last shot win

"You must be prepared to be a winner." -- John Wooden

Winning of "BIG" games and championships are not a matter of chance. They are a result of being prepared down to the smallest detailed. End of game situations and clock management really become paramount late in the season when a single shot can determine a team's playoff fate. Be sure to use the scoreboard clock to include offensive and defensive end of game situations in your practices. Do not ever expect your players to execute anything during a game that you have not covered in practice.
