Do you, do you do any sort of process like that?

Yeah, we, we just try not to make, um, you know, so much goals.

Um, uh, more so for us it's more just, like, standards.

Like, like this is what we're gonna be about every single day.

We-- in fact, on Monday, we didn't even practice on Monday.

We, we just had a, we had a team meeting in the locker room, and we, we gave them like a set of like 10 questions, and, and some of them were like, you know, what does, what does good body language look like and sound like, you know, both on the court, off the court? You know, what does, what does trust look like and sound like? You know, what, what is our core values? How, how are we living on our core values, you know, currently? Um, and so we, we basically had them all answer it, and then they, they had to come up with an answer, you know, for themselves as a team.

Um, and I think we just call it, like, the team 10, you know, that we're gonna print out and, and put in the locker.

Mm-hmm.

So how do you, you know, if you're, um, you know, running things in practice, how do you keep the buy-in? How do you, you know, make sure that they believe that, hey, what we're doing is, is on the right track or, you know, I guess what is the good-- what does good coaching look like?

Yeah.

I mean, this is, this is probably, like, the heart of the episode, right? Like, just I think winning, I think winning makes coaching decisions look smart, you know? I, I think losing makes you question, um, you know, your decisions that you might have completely- You know, confident in three weeks earlier.

You know, I've, I've, I've had to remind myself that, you know, good coaching, um, you know, can't only be defined by today's scoreboard.

Um, you know, sometimes good coaching means holding standards, you know, when, when lowering them would make everyone happier, you know? Uh, but sometimes it means staying patient.

Um, sometimes it means giving confidence to a player who hasn't earned much confidence, you know, s-statistically yet, so to speak.

Um, you know, sometimes it just means telling the truth.

Trevor, when you are in the, in this rut, what's your process for identifying kind of what the problem is? You know, whether it's tactics, your lineup, personnel, culture, how do you distinguish?
