NOTES ON SCOUTING FROM CARLENE MITCHELL


Here are a few notes from Rutgers assistant coach, Carlene Mitchell, on scouting.
  • Watch film and ask questions to the players to gauge how much they know.
  • If you are playing a team that runs their offense based on reads, then just cover the basic defensive concepts rather than each read.
  • Keep your gameday routine constant and don't vary.
  • Watch 3-5 films of each opponent.
  • Make sure to watch their 2 most recent games.
  • Compare your game against them last year to refresh your memory if there was anything they did that you strugged with.
  • SHe only distributes player personnel to the players. (not concepts and other things)
  • Make sure to cover priority patterns and quick hitters in gameday shoot around.
  • Meet with the head coach right before the game to go over any last minute reminders or adjustments.
