Have You Ever
Felt Out-Coached?
I have. My defining (humbling) moment...
The opening tipoff went our way. My point guard drove hard to the basket for a quick two points. We were fired up and ready to compete.
But then it happened. Their coach started calling plays we never practiced for. Picks, screens, misdirection plays – their offense was perfectly executed. And their full court press was smothering our guards.
I tried to adjust but nothing was working. My players looked to me with doubt in their eyes. I could feel the game slipping away along with our championship dreams. We just didn’t have an answer.
Their coach had clearly out-prepared me. As the final buzzer sounded on our 15-point loss, I walked over to shake his hand. I had to admit he out-coached me.
In the locker room, I saw the tears and devastation on my players’ faces. I promised them I would learn from this difficult defeat.
I replayed each possession in my mind. How could I have countered their coach’s strategies? What needed to change in our game planning and practices?
The sting of being out-coached was painful. But it fueled my motivation to grow. I owed it to my players to be better. The next time we reached a championship game, I would be ready.
