There must be several trained ingrained characteristics to putting a consistently winning team on the court game after game.
#1) Mike White seems to be a coach who doesn't have any ideas of how to ingrain any of the dogged characteristics of consistent winning.
How about extreme stamina? Typical distant running-drills fall short. There should be very taxing "dashes" like 400 meters - a sprint that puts the greatest "stress" on legs and lungs. Heck, if track athletes can be pushed to do it, then basketball athletes can do it.
It doesn't stand out as so noticeable, but what if late in a game, players' inadequate stamina causes each jump to be inches shorter, giving shots an inadequate "height-angle" = so clanging rims, sloppy ricochets, not quick-good jumping for rebounds, overall sluggish reflexes, ...etc.?
The worth of stamina also directs the play early in the game. Prepared stamina means prepared energy from start to finish. Players feel good thus ensuring that power of confidence. "Second winds" stave off opposing teams' scoring charges and allow scoring bursts.
On the flip side, stamina-lack connects to the inability to try hard enough, inability to maintain a lead, to overcome referees ( :D), inability to maintain high spirits throughout the game = long enough to defeat the opponent. We need every advantage we can acquire to take it to the opponent. Training with no-nonsense 400-meter times, 800-meter times certainly should greatly help. We need help. (I know I do.)
