Inside the Episode
We were excited to be joined this week by the Head Coach of Paris Basketball, JC Prat! Coach Prat is highly regarded as a great teacher and thinker of the game, and we really enjoyed diving into a ton of interesting topics with him this week including…
- Creating a Gameplan: Coach Prat is in the middle of the season with Paris and was kind enough to share some detailed thoughts on creating gameplans and scouting reports for upcoming opponents (He even shared a recent scout with us, which was made available for members of SG Plus). We discuss how much and what type of film Coach Prat watches, analytics to pay attention to, lineup analysis, and much more.
- Linking Closeouts to a Scouting Report: A nice little gem Coach Prat discussed during the topics of “game planning”, was how closeout decisions are linked to an overall scouting report and how they communicate that to their players.
- “Start, Sub, or Sit?!”: During this always interesting segment we dove into guarding Flare Screens, what tough teams do well, and much more.
