Coach,  

One of the best questions you can ask before every game isn’t about your team.

It’s about theirs.

What will you make the other coach prove?

Will they have to show you they’ve taught:

• Transition defense that lasts 32 minutes?

• Offensive rebounding discipline under pressure?

• Shot selection that doesn’t fold when you shrink space?

• Or the ability to adjust when you attack the same action three possessions in a row?

Most coaches focus on what they want to do.

But the best coaches? They design their game plan to force the opponent to play outside their identity.

If you:

• Apply consistent pressure (full-court, half-court, doesn't matter)...

• Force teams to play conceptually, not just run plays...

• Control shot discipline by collapsing space and driving contact...

• Send five to the glass and make them pay if they don’t rebound...

...you put your opponent in the position to prove they’re more prepared than you.

Most won’t be.
