Ep. 341 Noah LaRoche, Integrity Hoops

In this week's episode, Coach Brendan Suhr is joined by Noah LaRoche of Integrity Hoops — one of the brightest young minds working in the game today.

LaRoche consults with NBA and WNBA teams, college programs, and clubs overseas, but he's still grounded by the fifth and sixth graders he coaches on the seacoast of New Hampshire. He traces the path that got him there: quitting an insurance job to coach youth basketball, packing his car for an unpaid internship with Tim Grover at ATTACK Athletics, and building a company he named after his late father's flooring business.

From there he and Suhr get into the thinking behind the work. LaRoche explains why he reads everything except basketball books, why masters subtract while novices add, and why he barely speaks during his own practices. They dig into decomposing the game rather than simplifying it, why practice has to represent the game if learning is going to transfer, how he approaches walking into someone else's organization without ripping its fabric, and what he's found coaching NBA players, WNBA players, and sixth graders the same way.
