First, you need to run a camp with all the prospective players and them through their paces. You need to identify what the strengths and weaknesses are of your team and make sure that their conditioning matches your chosen style of play. Are you going to be a high powered run and gun offense or a slow, methodical team that grinds down your opponents with a stifling defense?
Once you’ve done your diligence and honed your coaching philosophy you’re going to need to identify who your stars and role players are going to be. Ideally you’ll have a smart point guard that can read the defense and create opportunities with quick passes. It would be great if you have a talented power forward in the mold of Dirk that can score from just about anywhere on the court and shoot with hands in her face. On the other side of the court, you need to get yourself a bruiser that can make her presence know under the basket and muscle all the other girls out for the ball. And, whatever you do, don’t be scared to make in-game adjustments. Sometimes your star is having an off night or the other team has a really good scouting report on you. Work through that and adjust as needed.
