In this episode, Tyler Coston and Mark Cascio unpack the most popular coaching cliches in basketball. They break down the intent behind each phrase, what works, what doesn't, and how to translate overused cliches into actionable, sticky cues players can actually apply. Plus, they explore the concept of concurrent feedback—why coaching players while they are in the middle of an action can make them confused and overly dependent on the sideline—and share when coaches should step back and let players play. 🔔 Subscribe and hit the bell so you never miss an episode of The Hours. 🏀 Basketball Training by SAVI: A player community for basketball education, structured programs, and skill development. https://www.skool.com/training-savi/ 🏀 TRY SAVI BASKETBALL FREE FOR 7 DAYS Get access to our full course library, weekly live coaching calls, and a community of coaches working through the same questions. https://savicoach.com/membership 📩 JOIN THE WEEKLY NEWSLETTER Coaching notes, practice tools, and episode breakdowns delivered to your inbox every week. https://savi.beehiiv.com/ 📱 Follow us on Instagram: @SAVI_coaching CHAPTERS: 00:00 - Coachisms are weird 01:45 - Defense wins championships 04:22 - 110% 08:37 - Game speed 14:24 - Get a STOP! 20:03 - 2 for the price of 1 Stay SAVI!
