Sean Miller and his 5 Keys to Winning Road Games

I was reading an article in the Arizona Basketball newsletter that Coach Sean Miller puts out. Coach Miller talks about key to winning games on the road. I think Coach Miller is one of the top coaches in the country.

I started following Coach Miller when he began his head coaching career at Xavier. You might remember he was the young kid doing 2,3 and 4 ball dribbling drills on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson.

If you are interested in a great basketball newsletter, contact Ryan Reynolds in the basketball office at the U of A and he will get you on the list.

Knowing that they have many tough road games on their schedule, here is what Coach Miller's 5 keys to winning on the road:


1. BE A FAMILY!

Develop trust in each other, the staff and the system. Work together to win as a team.

2. BE A PLAY MAKER!

Always play to win - do not play not to lose. Be aggressive in your approach. What do you have to lose?

3. WORK HARD AND CONCENTRATE!

Be willing to prepare to win. Know the scouting report and your teams game plan. How can you win when you don't know what you are doing?

4. SILENCE THE CROWD!

Enjoy the atmosphere and the challenge of doing it. There is nothing more fun than winning on the road. Have fun doing it.

5. BETTER THAN ANYONE!

To win on the road, you must Defend, Rebound and Communicate at the highest level.

BE ROAD WARRIORS!!!
