Thoughts From Del Harris & George Raveling

This post will have a group of ideas from a bunch of different coaches that spoke at the Florida Coaching Clinic last year.
Del Harris

• Work Ethic
• If it’s about the time you spend in the office, then I disagree
• Efficient work is what you need to strive for.
• You need to have time to grow as a person.
• Read Books
• If you dont take time to read, you wont develop as a person
• If you dont like reading, then get books on tape.
• Recommends "Talent Code"
• Film
• Overrated, but should be used for positive reinforcement, not as a hammer on your own players.
• Offense
• Have fewer sets with more complex Options and counters
• When you get to the playoffs, everyone knows what you will run.

GEORGE RAVELING

• Value of Sharing & Relationships
• Nothing in life has any value, unless you share.
• We learned Everything about relationships when we were 10
   from our mom.
• Be Nice,make friends, tell the truth, play nice.
• Relationships should be a priority worked on everyday.
• Why are relationships so important
• The only difference between where you are now and where you’re going to be are the people you’ve met, the places you’ve been and the books you’ve read.
• Build and sustain a meaningful portfolio of relationships with core constituents which will ultimately assist in the enhancement of your basketball program and career.
•  3 Types of relationships:
• Type A: Partnerships (mutual vision and sharing).
• Type B: Solid, meaningful, ongoing relationship.
• Type C: Casual relationships (most relationships start off as Type C).
• Characteristics of Good Relationships:
  Loyalty.
  Trustworthiness.
  Appreciation.
  Commitment.
  Sincerity.
  Openness.
  Compassion.
  Responsibility.
  Generosity.
  Flexibility.
  Dependability.
