Kicked Ball.
A violation
that occurs when the ball strikes or
is struck by a player's moving foot, which often happens accidentally when the player has
extended a leg to stop a pass.
Kicking.
The defensive
player is not allowed to kick the ball as a means of deflecting a pass. On such violation, the offense team retains possession of the ball, and
the shot clock is reset. At
prior times, when the clock was not reset, coaches encouraged this
defensive tactic even though it was against the rules, because it
forced the opponent to reset its offense.
Kick It.
Pass to open man
ahead to you.

of his program, illustrating his insights with vivid stories. Accompanying each of Coach

Krzyzewski, Mike - Coach K
Leading with the Heart
By Mike Krzyzewski - Coach K
In some respects, a top-level college coach is a lot like a manager in any business. He
has to turn a group of talented individuals into a smoothly running team, and he has to
produce results that please the fans of his team--the shareholders of the athletic
program.
Thus, in Leading with the Heart, Krzyzewski reviews the lessons he's learned as Basketball
coach at Duke University, and tries to universalize them so they translate to any
leadership position. For example, he writes, "Adjustments are not unusual, they are
usual. So a leader's ability to think on his feet ... to do things without instruction ...
is of paramount importance." Makes sense, as does this admonition: "When
teaching, always remember this simple phrase: 'You hear, you forget. You see, you
remember. You do, you understand.'"
The book has four sections--"Preseason," "Regular Season,"
"Postseason," and "All-Season"--and each of those has four chapters.
Each chapter begins with three quotes ("Too many rules get in the way of
leadership" leads off chapter 1), and ends with bulleted tips summing up the
chapter's message. Between the quotes and the bullet points are anecdotes about Duke
Basketball games and (occasionally) Krzyzewski's life outside Basketball.
What you come away with is an understanding of why Krzyzewski is a great Basketball coach,
why former Duke assistants such as Tommy Amaker and
Quinn Snyder are probably going to
become great Basketball coaches, and how anyone who's currently a coach can become a
better coach.
It would be great if other types of managers in other types of businesses could
incorporate these lessons in compassionate, focused, highly flexible leadership, but it
seems unlikely. Most managers in business rise through the ranks not because of their
ability to lead or inspire but because of their knowledge and competence (if not their
connections).
On the other hand, it would be nice if each of us, just once, could work for someone like
Coach K, someone who could push the right buttons and lead us to our own version of the
Final Four. Not likely, but a pretty sweet fantasy. -- Lou Schuler
