to coach He started every morning with mass drills including ball handling defensive plays loose halls shinning passing dribbling and speed plays The players rotated through several coaches each day to learn different concepts of the game I le said his major contribution in the program was foul shooting "I showed them proper form from standing proportioned to the basket to holding the hall lollowing through and using their knees and legs" Raby loved working with the younger players because he could leach them in all aspects of the game "We defined each position for the kids from offense and defense to playing forward and center I would find each player's best attribute and work with him individually to better define that attribute This helps them become better players because we all play this game to our strengths It also works on heightening the player's self esteem which makes him a better athlete" Raby has always believed in leaching the positive and not the negative "I will never put a player down I can get more out of any player through constructive criticism" he added If he had disciplinary problems with any of his players he found that Ihc old “military" pushups worked wonders The NDU coaching slaffhas already asked Raby to return next summer to work the basketball camps “Of course I plan to go back But I may holdout for a bigger paycheck" he laughed |
