How do you evaluate coaches & programs?

Here are 12 facets of coaching that I use to evaluate the quality of a coach

 In practice

1. Talk time vs action time during practice
2. Players standing in line/ waiting on sideline - Use of baskets and basketballs
3. Coaching consistency across staff
4. Game relevance of drills - does it look like actual basketball?
5. Preparation - outline, list, practice plan of some kind!
6. Punctuality - start and end practice on time

In Games

1. Empowering vs inhibiting players
2. Substitution consistency - equal, to win, or or on a whim?
3. Preparation - know opponent, biggest threats, watched film
4. Warm up - working on something vs coasting through layups
5. Emotionally stable - excited and frustrated without punishing players
6. Long term vs Short term - High expectations - only when players know and have committed to working on something
