Good coaching requires flexibility and the key to that, says JJ Redick, is communicating with his players.
Hey everyone, this is Dan Woike and welcome back to The Times’ Lakers Newsletter, a chance for me to shoot straight, unlike the Lakers did in Las Vegas. Before we get into this week’s check-in, allow me a moment to vent. The worst person in the world is the person who decided to put the low limit blackjack tables squarely between the casino bar and the hotel elevators. Whoever you are or were, just know that you’re a monster.
You better tell them why because it's a different era. A different time. There are different expectations. All kinds of pressure on these guys, us, the team. “I just think knowing that and having experienced that as a player, it does help kinda prepare you for what you need to do.” The conversations don’t have to be the kind of high-level stuff Redick made a broadcasting career on the back of. Sometimes, it can just be simple, straightforward reinforcement.
