Brian McCormick has coached at an array of levels in leagues around the world and has written books about basketball fundamentals, skills development, how to become a great shooter, running practices, and building an effective offensive system.
I invited him on to discuss the unique challenges faced by Wes Unseld Jr. and his staff as they attempt to lead a team at step one of a total rebuild. My hope was that I would learn something about coaching, and McCormick definitely delivered.
In this episode, we delved into the problems Jordan Poole is having as he tries to make the Washington Wizards “his” team, and how Unseld and the assistant coaches can help him improve.
