Dan Abrahams makes a point here that I think every coach needs to hear before their next game.
Working memory can only hold about three complex chunks of information at once. So when you're dumping seven, eight, nine coaching points on a player right before tip-off, you're not preparing them. You're overloading them.
I love his idea of the match script. Two or three specific, controllable, positively framed actions tied to that player's role. Everything else should already be automated from practice reps.
