Eric Musselman - former coach of the Sacramento Kings.
Quote by Musselman:
"I've gotten into the habit of planning a practice every day as if I'm part of a coaching staff. I date it, give it a practice number and plan out drills for the day. This type of daily ritual stimulates me to come up with new drills, ideas and schemes. It also allows me to apply some of what I've learned while observing a lot of other terrific coaches.
I'd literally pick a different NBA team each week of the season, and act as if I'm part of that team's staff. I do it in alphabetical order -- so the first week, I was with Atlanta, the next week I was with Boston, and so on. The practice would vary depending on the team's personnel, schedule, strengths and weaknesses, upcoming opponents, and so on."
If this passage from Eric Musselman's latest Pro Basketball News column on what unemployed coaches should do made me laugh, am I a bad person?
