Elimination Of Mistakes


The following comes from Bob Knight's "The Power Of Negative Thinking".


Basketball - like life - is at least partly a game of mistakes. Despite thousands of years of evolutionary improvements, human beings do not play any game perfectly. As a coach, you have to understand, its not the development of your offense or the development of your defense that will make you a consistently winning team; it’s the elimination of mistakes its getting rid of those things that amount to a deal-breaker in the game of basketball:


  • Poor ball handling
  • Bad shots
  • Slow recovery from offense to defense
  • Bad fouls and poor foul-shooting
  • Poor blocking out of opponents in rebounding
  • Go-it-alone, uncoordinated defense
