SCOUTING BASKETBALL OPPONENTS
Scouting reports are the blue-print to success if they are used properly. To go into a ball game without having your opponent thoroughly scouted is inviting disaster.
The best information that can be gathered on an opponent can usually be obtained when the coach himself scouts. If this is not feasible, your scout must be someone who knows your system and knows exactly what you desire in the way of scouting information. Personally, I like to do my own scouting, but when I cannot go, one of my assistant coaches, who knows what pertinent information I seek, will go for me.
The first thing I want to know is the individual shooting habits of each player.
