But as the game rapidly evolves, are your rules holding your team back? Some of our longest-held coaching rules need to die, some need to be kept, and others need a massive upgrade. In this episode of The Hours, Tyler Coston and Mark Cascio are joined live by Savi’s brand-new Director of Player Development, Mike Carlson (former Euroleague pro).
