PLN at KIS

I am getting ready for an interview with a high school coach and his player at Mary Institute and St. Louis Country Day School. And for them and for me to be ready, I’ve prepared some questions that I think people would be interested to read. So here they go.

Coach
Q. What is your experience as a basketball coach?
Q. What do you think is the most important thing when coaching a basketball team?
Q. What is the first thing you would teach a young basketball team?
Q. When was the best moment in your whole career of coaching basketball?
Q. How was the season this year?
Q. Who is your go-to guy?
Q. If your team is down by one, and we have 13 seconds left, would you set up a play for the win, or would you give it to your best player to finish it?
Q. If you had the No.1 Draft pick, and there are LeBron James and Yao Ming, who would you choose?
Q. Lastly, what is basketball to you?

Player
Q. When’s the first time you shot a basketball?
Q. Did you make it?
Q. What part of the game do you take pride in?
Q. What things do you feel like you still need to work on?
Q. Who was your role model basketball player as a child? Is it the same player now?
Q. Tell me about your best game
Q. Are you thinking of going pro?

But I think that interviews are supposed to be more naturally flowing. The interview will be based on these questions, but I might come up with something new during the interview, and I think that’s an interview that peopel would love to listen to, a natural conversation, than a hard, robot to robot interview.
