In this episode of Coach Unplugged, Hall-of-Fame coach Steve Collins shares why most basketball practices aren’t too long — they’re just too inefficient.
He walks through five powerful changes that can instantly make your team sharper, faster, and more competitive:
-
Start every drill with intent and purpose.
-
Shorten segments to keep players locked in.
-
Make every rep game-like with pressure and decisions.
-
Film practice to eliminate dead time.
-
Always finish with competition to simulate late-game pressure.
You’ll also hear a personal story from Coach Collins on how trimming just ten minutes transformed his team’s energy and focus.
Whether you coach youth, high-school, or college hoops, this episode gives you practical steps you can use tomorrow.
