Bruce Weber's Keys to Building a Program



I've heard Illinois Head Coach Bruce Weber at clinics on a couple occasions. He always refers to his keys to building and maintaining a program when he presents. Here they are:

1) Have kids play hard. Don't give them the choice to not play hard.
2) Play as a team. Play to win.
3) Have a flexible system.
4) Lift weights and condition.
5) Defend. Spend at least one hour of practice on defense.
6) Teach your players how to play.
7) Have competitive drills. Have them love to win and hate to lose. Practice game habits at game speed. Have efficiency; drills conducive to your system.
