We are entering the stretch run. Everyone is tired. Teams are positioning themselves for the upcoming play-offs, so our starting tourney games. Players in many cases may be participating in their final games. Coaches are on edge.

Get your rest, stay hydrated and prepared for the task at hand.

2. Have a pre- game that lasts 25-45 minutes.
3. Don’t create unnecessary situations by initiating confrontational conversations with players and coaches.
4. Don’t talk to fans.
5. When the ball is dead be alive.
6. Keep your games moving.

9. Run the Game.
10. Use Rule Book terminology when addressing the Head Coach.
