• Ensure that the coaches are accountable to the players?
• Ensure that the players are accountable to the coaches?
• Provide the direction of the practices?

• Provide the benchmarks for assessing the skills of the players?

Once you have answer these questions in relation to a basketball practice, can you now transfer these answers to teaching?
