Inside the Episode

This week on the podcast we had the pleasure of sitting down with the Head Coach of Medi Bayreuth in Germany’s BBL, Raoul Korner. Coach Korner was terrific in diving into a number of interesting topics including:

  • Peer Leadership – How Coach Korner develops and helps players lead their peers and why it is so important
  • Mid-Season Focus – We dive into they types of thoughts Coach Korner has when it comes to maintaining a team’s focus and energy during mid-season. This conversation flowed into the areas of offensive tweaks, rotation sizes, dealing with injury, and more.
  • Hedging the PNR – Over the past few seasons Coach Korner’s teams have done a terrific job of Hedging the PNR, and we dive deep into the tactical details of how this gets done. We discuss philosophy, teaching points, defending the Short Roll, and backside rotations.
  • “Start, Sub, or Sit” – During the always fun “Start, Sub, or Sit?!” we talk stopping a run, teaching “post positioning“, and much more.
