In this episode of Coach Unplugged, Hall-of-Fame coach Steve Collins shares why most basketball practices aren’t too long — they’re just too inefficient.

He walks through five powerful changes that can instantly make your team sharper, faster, and more competitive:

1. 
   

   Start every drill with intent and purpose.

   
   


2. 
   

   Shorten segments to keep players locked in.

   
   


3. 
   

   Make every rep game-like with pressure and decisions.

   
   


4. 
   

   Film practice to eliminate dead time.

   
   


5. 
   

   Always finish with competition to simulate late-game pressure.

   
   

You’ll also hear a personal story from Coach Collins on how trimming just ten minutes transformed his team’s energy and focus.

Whether you coach youth, high-school, or college hoops, this episode gives you practical steps you can use tomorrow.
