Coaching Points by Del Harris

• Be sure you have a mission statement that is current with your current thinking
 and then stay committed to that statement. Be sure your staff and players
 understand
 
 • Make sure your philosophy of coaching, of defense, of offense and of dealing
 with players and other constituents is clear-cut and understood by yourself and
 staff.
 
 • Leave a paper trail. Keep copies of important communications with all relevant
 parties. Notes, dates & times of any significant meeting with players, media, etc
 can be of value.
