It always amazes me how coaches who think they have a handle on things will call themselves "defensive" coaches. Nothing could be more wrong. As one professional coach said to a friend of mine, "if you aren't spending 80% of your time working on offense, you are easy to beat."
Which brings me to a comment another coach made the other day. She said to her, "good job scoring 40 points, most college teams would be happy with that." My first thought was that 40 points is about half of what your goal should be. Even for high school teams, given that you will run into some bad team where you can ring up 90 or more points. I understand that summer games are little bit shorter in length so maybe your goal will be 70 points, but 80 for a hgh school team is about right.
Now your next thought might be: "what if my players aren't good enough to score 80 points?" Good point. In our next talk we will discuss how to get your team to score 80 points this season, and every season after that.
