His confidence and all-around great ability cause him to be a good leader by example. He puts in a ton of work and can make his team better by improving their work habits. However, Kobe has long been credited for being a little to isolated and held back to be a true leader. He allegedly was the main cause of the break up of the best duo in basketball, him and Shaq. Still, as a leader he makes his team work harder.
This quote was beneficial during his coaching years to help discipline his players. The team had a reputation for winning so many games; but, he wanted to teach his players that building their character is more important than being seen as winners. It is merely what everyone else sees them as only. Mr. Wooden worries more about his students’ character than their reputation because character repeats champions not reputation.
The reason they pushed for victory. They were both competitive and extremely amazing at basketball. Larry to this day is asked “how is Magic,” even when the two weren’t on the same team (Bird, Johnson and
Based upon the model of Robert Katz there are a few skills that accounted for the success of each of these coaches. Coach Knight was well full of knowledge in two of the leadership qualities said/taught by Katz, those being technical skills and idea-based skills. Coach Knight grew and did well at these two qualities. He has the ability to know exactly what works in what situation and how to change what is not working to win a game. One skill, according to Katz' model, that Coach Knight is (not having enough of something) in is human skills.
Collins was drafted and hired for the same reason, to restore the winning tradition of the franchise. Collins was a very successful player for the 76ers, but due to injuries was forced to retire the summer before the title won in 1983. Collins is considered one of the best coaches, however there are certain aspects of his coaching style I disagree with. For example, Jrue Holiday should not have been named the point guard because the position doesn’t fit his capabilities. He wants to be known for making the big plays, instead of distributing the basketball to his teammates.
Even though he was coming back from injury, and I think Mitch Richmond scored more than he that game, he still was “better” than the rest & scored a “measley” 19 points. But the Bulls won & that man made a lasting impression on me. DRose needs to chill out a little and play—controlling his emotions at times, expressing them at other times—but we can do without the braggadoccio (I think that is how you spell it). That is the only way the Bulls of this era will take it to the next level. I say this with love & respect.
Dr. Forrest “Phog” Allen “Beware of the Phog” this phrase is commonly seen throughout the University of Kansas, especially on the days of home basketball games prominently in Allen Field House. The phrase was established when the new field house was built and named after one of the most influential coaches of KU basketball history, Dr. Forrest “Phog” Allen. Allen was not only influential then as a coach and a leader of the community, but also today he influences the lives of students at the University of Kansas. Allen is known by most as a basketball coach who learned about the game straight from the creator himself. He started as a player with James Naismith Who taught him how to play and Naismith told him: “Forrest, you don’t coach
McGrady almost didn’t have a assistant except Yao Ming. But they were both beat by injuries. That was regretted by everyone who like Houston Rockets, Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady. Tracy McGrady is not only a greater scorer but also a greater playmaker. His vision for pass always made him passed exciting balls.
Phil Jackson also has the highest win percentage of all-time at a whopping 0.704 (NBA.com). The next closest coach is Red Auerbach at 0.662 which is not even nearly close to Phil Jackson (NBA.com). Phil Jackson was a guru of the triangle offense, which is considered by many the best run offense. Phil Jackson incorporated the triangle offense from day one which worked well due to the fact that the system needed strong guard and wing play which the Bulls received from Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen. However, the Bulls needed to acquire a strong big man to complete the triangle
He was also the first person ever to be inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame as a player as well as a coach. Wooden was notorious for his inspirational messages as well as his desire to succeed, making him a great leader. He created the “pyramid of success”, which is still widely utilized by individuals today. This consists of philosophical building blocks for winning at basketball and at life. First, I’m going to analyze and interpret Wooden’s style of leadership and discuss which styles I believe that he has possessed throughout his life.
