Basketball Late-Season Tune-Up

So a bad practice doesn't bother me as much as it used to, so long as we play hard on game night, and so long as bad practices don't become a habit.

It's late in the season and we're just about to enter our post-season tournament, aka "March Madness." What adjustments do you make at this point in the season?

I'm talking mainly about high school varsity teams here.

First, an observation and an opinion ... a lot of coaches and players would probably disagree with me here. Over the many years that I have been involved with high school basketball, I have had the fun and opportunity to be involved with excellent coaches and some very good teams.
