PLAYERS EXPECTATIONS
1. OFF-COURT CONDUCT
A. The fact that you are a member of the basketball team at Jordan High School automatically puts you in the spotlight. You must conduct yourself so as not to disgrace yourself, the team, or the school. Remember to conduct your moral life on a level that you would expect YOUR son to act.
B. CLASSROOM WORK—Participation on this team is secondary to your education. We expect you to also be leaders in the classroom. State guidelines require a 2.0 G.P.A. from the previous term and no more than one F to be eligible—we expect much better. We will not tolerate tardies or unexcused absences. Tardies show a lack of respect and are disruptive to classes, while unexcused absences demonstrate lack of commitment and eventually lead to failure in the classroom. For this purpose the following will be imposed:
--for each tardy a player will run 5 ladders under 30 seconds
--for each unexcused absence a player will run 7 ladders under 30 seconds
If there is a persistent problem players may be suspended or dismissed from the team.
C. PUNCTUALITY—Successful people are prompt. You are expected to meet all schedules on time (15 minutes early is on time). We want to be mentally prepared for every game and practice. We cannot procrastinate and fulfill our goals.
D. SOCIAL—An individual cannot hope to be in top physical and mental condition if he is not taking proper care of himself. Substance abuse will not be tolerated. Players found to have this problem will be subject to suspension and/or dismissal from the team. In additions, treat other people the way you would like to be treated. Foul mouths, harassment, and school fights are unacceptable. Hazing with the team is prohibited.
**SOCIAL MEDIA—Players should be extremely careful in the use of Facebook, Twitter, texting, email, blogs, etc…Under no circumstances are any players to speak negatively about an opponent or their teammates. In addition, communicating about our own team should be done carefully as many times confidence can be construed as “bragging” or “arrogant.”
E. SLEEP—Rest is the greatest body restorer. A lack of proper rest causes staleness. Therefore, the following rules will be enforced:
F. NUTRITION—You are expected to follow good nutritional practices. We want to gain every possible advantage we can get.
G. LOCKER AND TRAINING ROOMS
H. COACHES’ OFFICE—The office doors are always open. If you have a question, a concern, or a problem we will always try to help you.
2. PRACTICE PROCEDURES
A. Be dressed, on the floor, and ready for practice on time every day. There is no substitute for enthusiasm.
B. Shoot 20 free throws before organized practice and then work on your weaknesses with any time left. When you walk on the floor for practice it is a business. Work hard to improve yourself without being forced. Have fun without clowning around. No cliques, no complaining, no criticizing, no jealousy, no egotism, and no alibis. EARN the respect of all.
C, Never leave the floor without permission. I will let you know when you can get a drink.
D. When a coach speaks or blows his whistle give him your undivided attention and respond immediately without disconcerting in any manner.
E. We jog on and off the floor from play-to –play and drill-to-drill.
F. Take excellent care of your equipment and keep your locker neat and orderly. Wear the team practice uniform every practice.
G. Do things the way you have been taught and do not have to be told every day. Correct habits are formed only through continued repetition of the perfect model.
H. Be clever, not fancy. Good clever play brings praise while fancy play brings ridicule and criticism.
I. When group activity is stopped to correct one individual, all pay close attention in order that you will not require the same correction.
J. Condition comes from hard work during practice and proper mental and moral conduct between practices.
K. Poise, confidence, and self-control comes from being prepared.
L. Be truly concerned about the welfare of our team. It is amazing how much can be accomplished when on one is concerned over who gets the credit.
M. Pick up your own towel, tape, and clothes while in the locker room. Remember it is your responsibility.
3. PRE-GAME PROCEDURES
A. Pre-Game Meal:
B. Shooting—We may or may not have a pre-game walk-through. However, if you want to do some shooting on an individual basis earlier in the day that would be fine.
C. Prepare yourself for the game:
D. Pre-game procedures:
4. GAME POLICIES
A. Follow instructions—be alert. Do not question a coach. If you have a concern you may speak to him individually.
B. Always recognize the player who passed you the ball when you scored.
C. Bench Conduct:
1. Lively and loyal bench. Stand when a player comes off the floor for a substitution.
2. No profane or abusive language.
3. Under no circumstances can we afford a technical foul from the bench.
4. Never say anything negative to the referee. The coach will do the talking to the official.
D. Substitutions:
1. Report to the scorer’s table—jog on the floor and find out the number of the player you will be guarding.
2. Replaced player—jog off the floor, sit next to the coach. Do not show negative emotion. We do not expect to be challenged for the substitution.
E. Time-Outs:
1. Substitutes vacate chair and form a semi-circle behind the coach and be alert to what is being said.
2. Players jog to the bench. When a coach begins speaking give him your full attention.
F. Personal Foul:
1. The head coach will converse with the officials if necessary.
2. No emotion or sarcasm about the call. We must fight through difficult calls without allowing them to frustrate us—show mental toughness. Officials notice poor body language.
G. Half-Time:
1. Hustle to the meeting room
2. When the coaches walk in remain silent and focus on what is being said.
3. Half-time will be brief and to the point. If you have anything to suggest, make it quick and to the point.
H. Post-game procedures:
1. Show good sportsmanship to the opposing team and then hustle to the meeting room.
2. No immature acts. Regrettable things are often said and done in the heat of battle. Loose tongues sink ships, and ruin good close-knit teams.
3. Take care of your own equipment. At home you hang your uniform neatly. Away from home, make sure it is in your bag.
4. No undue emotion in winning or losing a game. If you have done your best then keep your head high.
5. DRESS
A. Your hair is to be kept out of your eyes. Keep it neatly cut and groomed. Facial hair is not permitted. We represent Jordan High School— always act and look first class.
B. No head bands.
C. We do not require you to wear a tie for home or away games. However, we expect each player to be dressed neatly. No hats turned to the side or backwards and no pants riding low.

ALWAYS REMEMBER—You represent Jordan High School, your family, and yourself—play your best because you are the best.
THINGS ALL PLAYERS CAN DO TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE TEAM
1. Shot Fake and Pass Fake
Truly a lost art. When’s the last time you said to yourself, “that player is excellent as shot and pass fakes.” Of course part of the responsibility belongs to us as a coaches — are we teaching and emphasizing it? Few things can help an offensive player more than the proper use of a pass fake and a shot fake.
2. Know and Execute the Plays
Sounds a little silly saying “know the plays” but it’s amazing to see a player or two who doesn’t know where they are supposed to be or what they are supposed to being doing. Whether is an inbounds plays, a half-court set, a motion entry or anything else structured, take the time to know where you are supposed to be and what you are supposed to be doing. Next is execution — doing it when you are supposed to and as well as you can. This does not take talent but commitment to knowing and understanding your team’s playbook.
3. Play Hard
Again, seems like it shouldn’t have to be said but it does. And here is the key to playing hard — you have to do it all the time…not just when your team’s ahead or the play is called for you. Playing hard means that you are making all your cuts in your offense hard. It means that you are sprinting to screen. It means that getting back on defense is a full speed proposition.
4. Have a Team First Attitude
Be the player constantly encouraging their teammates…picking them up both physically and emotionally when the time comes. Don’t be the player with the horrific body language when a teammate turns the ball over as if you were saying “I wouldn’t have made that mistake.” If a played does make a mistake, correct it is a positive manner.
5. Understand Shot Selection
Forcing shots does not help your team nor does it impress a college coach. Know what a good shot is for you — and yes, your shot selection will vary from those of your teammates. Don’t hunt shots, let the shots find you.
6. Concentrate
As I heard Nick Saban once say, “Wherever your shoes are, be there.” Don’t wonder mentally. Stay focused to the job at hand. Be a process oriented player. Don’t worry about the past play — it’s over. Don’t worry about a play in the future they may or may not happen. All you can control is the current possession you are involved with — give the possession complete concentration.
7. Be a Great Listener
This actually can do a long way to helping with concentration. In timeouts are you locked in with your eyes and ears. Does you coach have your complete attention. There’s a free throw situation and your coach or captain is barking out instructions. Are you actually listening and processing or just hearing — and there is a difference between listening and hearing.
8. Be in Great Shape
Without doing anything in regard to skill work…without saying anything about your talent level…you can make an impact on your team by being in great physical shape. When the game is in the fourth quarter or late in the second half and everyone else is starting to drag, this is where you can make a difference. Not only will you be a step faster because of your conditioning level, but you will be mentally sharper as well. How many times have we seen a team put on a late run and in large part because of players that are in just better shape that run the floor and past their opponent.
9. Control Your Intangibles
Again, these have nothing to do with skill or talent but they are game changers. The three areas that players can control (but often choose not to) are: attitude, energy, enthusiasm. Now I’m not saying it is easy but if you want to make a difference in your team its well work working on. By controlling your intangibles, I mean you don’t let officiating, teammates, opponents, coaches, gym conditions or anything else effect you having a team-first attitude, with high energy and positive enthusiasm.
10. Be an Example
What do your teammates see when they see or think of you? He or she is always early to the gym. They stay late. They are on time for meetings. They listen to the coach. They keep their composure. Off the court they conducting themselves the right way. They maintain a proper diet to put fuel in the tank. They are positive talkers — not criticizing a coach or gossiping about a teammate.
11. Rebound
Some of the best rebounders are lacking in talent and athleticism — they board well because of effort and tenacity. Rebounding is one of the only areas in basketball where it’s alright to selfish.
1. OFF-COURT CONDUCT
A. The fact that you are a member of the basketball team at Jordan High School automatically puts you in the spotlight. You must conduct yourself so as not to disgrace yourself, the team, or the school. Remember to conduct your moral life on a level that you would expect YOUR son to act.

--for each tardy a player will run 5 ladders under 30 seconds
--for each unexcused absence a player will run 7 ladders under 30 seconds

In addition, communicating about our own team should be done carefully as many times confidence can be construed as “bragging” or “arrogant.”
E. SLEEP—Rest is the greatest body restorer. A lack of proper rest causes staleness. Therefore, the following rules will be enforced:
- At home by 10:00 p.m. on weekdays
- In bed by 11:00 p.m. on weekdays
- At home at a reasonable time on weekends. You should adhere to family rules.
F. NUTRITION—You are expected to follow good nutritional practices. We want to gain every possible advantage we can get.
- Three well balanced meals should be eaten each day. Do not skip breakfast.
- “Treats” and soda pop should be taken at a minimum. Fruits, vegetables, water, and juice should be substituted.
G. LOCKER AND TRAINING ROOMS
- Both are places of business (if you need to be taped, get there early—taping is not an excuse to be late).
- The manager(s) is working with you, not for you. He does not receive anything for his efforts except your friendship and the opportunity to be part of the team.
- Keep the locker room picked up and cleaned. It’s not the custodian’s job to clean up after you.
H. COACHES’ OFFICE—The office doors are always open. If you have a question, a concern, or a problem we will always try to help you.
2. PRACTICE PROCEDURES
A. Be dressed, on the floor, and ready for practice on time every day. There is no substitute for enthusiasm.

L. Be truly concerned about the welfare of our team. It is amazing how much can be accomplished when on one is concerned over who gets the credit.
M. Pick up your own towel, tape, and clothes while in the locker room. Remember it is your responsibility.
3. PRE-GAME PROCEDURES
A. Pre-Game Meal:
- Eat 3-4 hours before game time.
- Eat a little less than usual.
- Eat foods that you are used to eating.
B. Shooting—We may or may not have a pre-game walk-through. However, if you want to do some shooting on an individual basis earlier in the day that would be fine.
C. Prepare yourself for the game:
- Get yourself mentally ready to play (remember you are going to battle).
- Take a nap (only if you are used to it).
- Arrive at the gym no later than 5:30 p.m. for a 7 p.m. game.
D. Pre-game procedures:
- Players should be ready to go 15 minutes before we take the floor for warm-up’s
- Warm-up until 6:30 in left on the clock. (warm-up conducted by team captains). At 6:30 left on the clock we will then return to the locker room.
- Upon returning to the locker room you will have time to take care of last minute needs. Also, you will be given a minute of silence where you may say an individual prayer if you choose.
- Remain silent—focused in the locker room at all times. No joking, laughing, or horse play will be permitted.
- A short resume of the game plan and assignments will be given.
