In the high-stakes weeks of the playoffs or championship games, effective game planning and scouting techniques play a crucial role in determining a team's success. Our guests today emphasize the importance of self-scouting and staying true to their team's identity while also being mindful of their opponent's tendencies. Doing a thorough job allows the coaching staff to understand their team's tendencies and opponent’s tendencies and make adjustments as needed. This approach helps maintain clarity for the players and ensures they can perform at their best without being overwhelmed by constant changes in strategy.
Utah Defensive Coordinator Morgan Scalley and 4x Delaware State Champion Head Coach of Smyrna High School Mike Judy share the approach that works best for them in these high-stakes games.
