Editor's Notes
- The Question behind the Question How asking the right questions will get you the answers you need, but more importantly will help you take your program to the next level.
- You have to put yourself and your program to know the answers to the important questions. What are those important questions to the culture of your program How will this player fit in with the rest of our team? Sonny Weber in Draft Day “How important is winning to you son?” Bo Calahan Craiglist limit of questions you can ask the high school coach, AAU coach or Club coach Can only go so deep That is why you have to have an informat on the inside. Get to know as many people on the inside as possible. Know every volunteer coach, asst coach, manager, janitor, scorekeeper./ people off the grid a little bit Always a manager that wants to talk You answer a lot of your questions through investigation-leaving no stone unturned.
