Offseason Reflection & Prep w/ Dan Krikorian

About this episode

Dan Krikorian discusses offseason reflection and preparation as a new head coach.

We are fortunate to have Dan Krikorian on this episode. Krikorian finished his first season as the head coach at Chapman University in California, where he was a longtime assistant. There’s a reason if Krikorian’s voice sounds familiar. He is part of the duo that makes up popular basketball coaching podcast Slappin’ Glass. The episode focuses on offseason reflection and preparation. We also ask Krikorian how Slappin' Glass has impacted his coaching. --- For more updates on our latest podcast episode and more coaching resources, check out the 🔗 ⁠⁠Idaho Basketball Coaching Podcast newsletter⁠⁠ . --- EPISODE BREAKDOWN 1:15 - Evaluating the previous season 5:30 - Evaluating your own coaching 9:10 - Offseason timeline for coaches 11:40 - Utilizing assistant coaches during the offseason 13:25 - Decision-making process for next season 16:05 - Freedom within the structure 19:15 - When more structure is needed in-game 23:00 - Practice plan development in the offseason 25:00 - Decision-making as a fundamental 29:00 - Impact of Slappin’ Glass on coaching 33:40 - Dealing with expectations
