Answer & Explanation:Assignment Instructions
Please respond in essay form to each
following questions. These are scenarios that require you to explain
your strategy as a basketball coach.
Scenario # 1:
Your team has the ball with the lead with
20 seconds to go in the first quarter and is running their offense.
Player A has a driving lane open but decides to shoot a three-pointer.
Make or miss; is this a good shot? What do you say to the player and/or
team at the end of that quarter? Does it depend on the player?
Scenario # 2:
You are the underdog and you truly feel
that your team has played over their heads for the first three quarters.
As the fourth quarter starts, your team leads 48-38. Your opponent has
played poorly, but now has responded to the situation and is looking
very dangerous. They are a better team, typically. You decide to open
the fourth quarter with a spread offense and a ¾ court man to man
defense. Is this strategy the best decision? What do you tell your team
in the huddle prior to the fourth quarter? What is your coaching
strategy to ensure your team pulls off this upset?
Scenario # 3:
Your team is down by 20 points at
half-time to a very good team that you knew would be very difficult to
beat. You notice that some of your players look beaten mentally when
entering the locker room. What do you say at half-time to your team?
What is your coaching strategy to start the third quarter? What are your
team’s goals for the duration of this game?
Scenario # 4:
Your team is leading by 20 points with
six minutes left in the game. You have been leading the game
convincingly since early in the first quarter. The opposing team just
scored five straight points to cut the lead to 15 and called time-out.
The opposing team’s crowd is getting louder and their players are
starting to show enthusiasm. What do you say to your team during the
time-out? What type of tone of voice should be used? Are there other
factors involved with how you will react?
Scenario # 5:
Your team is winning by three points with
10 seconds left to go in the game. Your team has committed 7 fouls and
the other team will shoot the bonus; 1 and 1 free throw on your team’s
next foul. What is your defensive philosophy for the last 10 seconds?
