Orr's coach clinic ...
... easy on the hoop
BASKETBALL COACHES are always into self-improvement. Perhaps
it's in the breed. They always seem to want to improve their coaching
skills, to improve their teams, at any cost.
In the case of the Johnny Orr Coaches Clinic the cost is $875.00 per per-
son (two toa room).
You see, the Johnny Orr Coaches Clinic is in Hawaii. It costs an extra
$225 for a single room.
Some high school and college basketball coaches run summer camps,
others search for cage talent on local golf courses and others attend
coaching clinics.
When you get to beas respected a coach as Orr is you get to host such a
clinic. After ten years as coach of the Wolverines, most of them successful,
Orr gets to host his clinic in Hawaii. Not Gary, Ind., or Howell, Mi., but in the
land of sunshine. ocean and high-rise tourist hotels.
A rigorous schedule
Can a coach learn more about basketball in Hawaii than one of those
other places? A quick check of the trip itinerary may answer that question.
Day 1-Arrive in Honolulu where the traditional basketball greeting of
putting the net around the coaches neck is recorded. Check in at the Sheraton
Waikiki Hotel.
Day 2-Tour Honolulu, lunch on a floating restaurant, Pearl Harbor
cruise and free evening.
Day 3-Spend the morning with Orr and the other coaches talking
strategy and technique. The afternoon is free and shopping at the Inter-
national Market is recommended.
Day 4-Time for road trip practice. Transfer to Maui. Have lunch, tour
an old whaling town (harpoon a recruit?), check in at the Sheraton-Maui.
Rest of the day is free.
Enough basketball
Day 5-Start the day with a coaches meeting to discuss basketball
problems relevant to all coaches (are the Hawaiian golf courses too windy?
Is Honolulu as pretty as Detroit? Some deep-sea fishing this afternoon, Bob-
by?). This is also the time to learn of other coaches' "personal success." (Is
it really better in Hawaii?). The afternoon's free.
Day 6-Okay, enough liasketball. Aren't you kind of sick of it by now?
"Relax all day and enjoy the beauty of Kaanapali Beach." No slam dunks
today.
Day 7-"Today is again yours to enjoy as you wish." Was there too much
basketball on Day 6?
Day 8-There's no time for any last minute basketball cram sessions,
but perhaps you'd like to finish up your shopping before heading for home af-
ter a pause in Honolulu.
If nothing else this trip should ease the strain on coaches of trying to
relate to their Hawaiian players. As the brochure says, "Aloha! (Which
means hello, goodby and three-point-play in Hawaiian). Best of luck for the
'78-'79 season!"
Pass the pineapple.
