Layup lines and shooting stations show you skill, but skill is the easiest thing to see and the least predictive of who helps you win in February. Coach Collins explains why tryouts should be built to reveal the things you cannot see in a box score. The coachability rep. Give a player one specific correction, then watch the very next rep. Did they try to apply it? That single moment tells you more about a player's growth curve than ten made jumpers. Talk and transition. Run live defensive drills where the only thing an evaluator tracks is talk. Then run transition drills and watch who sprints back when the ball changes hands. Effort without the ball is a choice, and it shows up fast. Response to mistakes. Put players in competitive situations where they will fail. Watch what happens next. Do they hang their head, blame a teammate, or get back on defense? Watch the kids who are not playing. Water breaks, sideline time, and the end of the line are evaluation moments. Who picks up a teammate? Who is on their phone? A simple scoring system. Use multiple evaluators, a short rubric scored one to five, and a handful of categories tied to your identity. Tell the players in advance exactly what you will be watching. This week's homework. Add one coachability rep and one transition effort station to your tryout plan, and give every evaluator the same rubric. Welcome to the 5 Minute Basketball Coaching Podcast. I'm Coach Steve Collins. Tryouts are coming, and today I want to ask you a hard question. Are your tryouts measuring the right things? Here's what usually happens. We run layup lines. We run shooting stations. We run some three on three. And the kids who shine are the ones who can make shots in a gym with nobody guarding them. Then February comes, and we realize we kept the best shooter in October, not the best teammate in a tight game. Skill is the easiest thing to see in a tryout. It's also the thing you can teach the most over a season. What's hard to see, and hard to teach, is coachability, toughness, and how a kid treats the people around them. So let's build tryouts that show you those things. First, the coachability rep. Pick a player in the middle of a drill. Give them one specific correction. Get lower in your stance. Show me your hands. Then watch the very next rep. Not the result. The attempt. Did they try to do what you just asked? That one moment tells you more about how a kid will grow over a season than ten made jumpers. Second, talk and transition. Run a live shell drill and assign an evaluator to track one thing only. Who talks? Who calls ball, who calls help, who calls shot? Then run a transition drill, and watch who sprints back the moment the ball changes hands. Effort without the ball is a choice, and it shows up fast. Third, response to mistakes. Put players in competitive drills where they're going to fail. Score everything. Keep a winner and a loser. Then watch what happens after a turnover or a missed box out. Does the kid hang his head? Blame a teammate? Or sprint back and get the next stop? You are not just evaluating basketball. You are evaluating how they handle adversity, and you'll need that in January. Fourth, watch the kids who aren't playing. Water breaks. The end of the line. Sideline time. Who picks up a teammate off the floor? Who claps for somebody else's good play? Who's sneaking a look at their phone? Some of the best evaluating I ever did happened when the kids didn't think anyone was watching. Now, let's keep it fair. Use more than one evaluator. Give every evaluator the same short rubric. Five categories, scored one to five. Make those categories match your team identity. If your identity says we defend and we share the ball, then defense and unselfishness had better be on that sheet. And here's the part a lot of coaches miss. Tell the players ahead of time what you're looking for. Say it on day one of tryouts. We are evaluating talk, effort in transition, how you respond to mistakes, and how you treat your teammates. When kids know what matters, the right kids rise up. And when you have to make tough decisions, you can point to exactly what you said. One last thought. Tryouts are the first message about your culture. The way you run them tells every kid in that gym what you value. If you value hustle, make hustle visible. If you value teammates, reward the kid who picks someone up. Let me walk you through what a day of tryouts could actually look like. Start with fifteen minutes of a dynamic warmup, and have an evaluator watch who's leading lines and who's hiding in the back. Then twenty minutes of skill stations, because yes, skill still matters. Then the shell drill with an evaluator tracking talk. Then a scored transition drill. Then live three on three and five on five, with winners and losers recorded. Finish with free throws...
