00:
00:16,683 -- 00:00:18,844
Man:
Most of y'all have played for me before,
2
00:
00:18,918 -- 00:00:24,447
so you know I don't claim to be
some basketball guru.
3
00:
00:24,524 -- 00:00:28,221
My playbook is downright simple.
4
00:
00:28,294 -- 00:00:32,788
Only five set offensive plays...
5
00:
00:32,866 -- 00:00:35,596
five.
6
00:
00:35,668 -- 00:00:37,226
Now believe it or not,
7
00:
00:37,303 -- 00:00:40,636
we can go all the way
with just those five plays.
8
00:
00:42,008 -- 00:00:45,842
We're gonna practice
those plays 1000 times.
9
00:
00:45,912 -- 00:00:48,745
We're gonna practice 'em
till they are part of your...
10
00:
00:48,815 -- 00:00:50,407
your DNA.
11
00:
00:50,483 -- 00:00:52,974
All you boys need are three things.
12
00:
00:55,021 -- 00:00:56,852
One, execution.
13
00:
00:56,923 -- 00:01:01,951
Two, cohesiveness...
14
00:
01:02,028 -- 00:01:06,761
which is just another fancy word
for teamwork.
15
00:
01:06,833 -- 00:01:10,291
You must learn to act as one unit
16
00:
01:10,370 -- 00:01:12,463
on both ends of the court.
17
00:
01:14,507 -- 00:01:16,771
One finger can't pick up a pebble.
18
00:
01:16,843 -- 00:01:18,572
But one hand...
19
00:
01:18,645 -- 00:01:21,045
Boy:
Can move the Earth.
20
00:
01:21,114 -- 00:01:22,376
...can move the Earth.
21
00:
01:22,449 -- 00:01:25,577
Somebody was
listening to me last year.
22
00:
01:25,652 -- 00:01:27,347
That's good.
23
00:
01:27,420 -- 00:01:31,083
Three, effort.
24
00:
01:31,157 -- 00:01:33,318
You must bring it to every practice.
25
00:
01:33,393 -- 00:01:36,021
You must bring it to every moment,
26
00:
01:36,096 -- 00:01:38,587
to every second of every game.
27
00:
01:38,665 -- 00:01:42,101
You leave that out there
on that hard wood,
28
00:
01:42,168 -- 00:01:44,295
and win or lose,
29
00:
01:44,370 -- 00:01:47,828
you will never have to look
in the mirror and wonder,
30
00:
01:47,907 -- 00:01:52,674
"Did I do enough?"
31
00:
01:55,014 -- 00:01:57,312
We could have ourselves
a great year, fellas.
32
00:
01:58,885 -- 00:02:00,352
A great year.
33
00:
02:00,420 -- 00:02:06,154
But it all starts right here
and right now.
34
00:
02:06,226 -- 00:02:07,784
Let's get to the baseline!
35
00:
02:07,861 -- 00:02:09,795
- Let's go!
- All right, Coach.
36
00:
02:14,100 -- 00:02:16,330
Run, fellas. Run.
37
00:
02:17,403 -- 00:02:19,564
All right, Christian.
38
00:
02:24,077 -- 00:02:27,843
Where you at, Spence?
Where you at?
39
00:
02:32,819 -- 00:02:33,808
[Chattering]
40
00:
02:35,522 -- 00:02:38,457
All right, you know you
can't be on me like that.
41
00:
02:38,525 -- 00:02:40,550
You hear me?
42
00:
02:40,627 -- 00:02:44,222
What are the two of y'all doing kissing
out in the middle of everybody?
43
00:
02:44,297 -- 00:02:46,527
Christian, basketball first this year.
44
00:
02:46,599 -- 00:02:49,466
- Girls second, Coach, yeah.
- You got that, Courtney?
45
00:
02:49,536 -- 00:02:51,367
Yes, sir.
46
00:
02:51,437 -- 00:02:52,529
He knows me?
47
00:
02:52,605 -- 00:02:54,573
Of course he knows you, girl.
48
00:
02:54,641 -- 00:02:56,472
Boy:
Yo, come on, I got one.
49
00:
02:56,543 -- 00:02:57,805
Ball right here. Mismatch.
50
00:
02:57,877 -- 00:02:59,868
Come on, G, shake him up, man.
51
00:
02:59,946 -- 00:03:02,414
Come on, shake him up, Gary.
52
00:
03:02,482 -- 00:03:04,507
- You got it, Gary!
- [Groaning, cheering]
53
00:
03:06,186 -- 00:03:07,983
I hope you're having fun.
54
00:
03:09,856 -- 00:03:12,154
Wooo!
55
00:
03:12,225 -- 00:03:15,524
