VHS
with Oliver Purnell,
Head Coach Clemson University

This tape is one of the most unique lecture-style instructional basketball videotapes ever made! Purnell shares informative discussion points regarding individual and team goals, senior meetings, commitment, "what you emphasize the team will do", "if it is important to coach it is important to the players", newsletter/communication to help reinforce team themes, preseason and post season meetings, the importance of positive practices, selecting team captains, and playing time issues. The 8 Essentials for Developing Team Chemistry he outlines are: Communication, Competitive Atmosphere, Team Discipline: Fair and Flexible, Ownership, Team Momentum, Chemistry Keeping the Team Together, Outside Influences, & Building Team Cohesiveness. Purnell breaks the season down into four quarters 1. Preseason - Healthy Competition 2. Playing Time Issues 3. Expectations & Reality and finally, 4. Finishing Strong. This tape is a must for any coach at any level, and would be a great video for staff, players, and parents to all watch and learn from to make sure they are all on the same page. 75 Minutes. 2003
