Don Meyer: 4 Types of Coaches

1.) Unconscious and incompetent – He does not know he doesn’t even know. He is completely clueless.

2.) Conscious and incompetent – He knows he doesn’t know.
3.) Conscious and competent – This is the coach that knows but there is no flow. Everything is just right down the line and by the book. This coach can be called anal. One thing about anal coaches, they will
always have good teams. They will have good teams when they have poor players and they will have
good teams when they have great players. They will never have great teams because they are anal.
They will never let the kid do what he does best. That coach has to have his thumb on everything.

4.) Unconscious and competent - He knows and it flows. It is spontaneous. Does not even have to think
about it, it is so engrained. This type of coach has worked their butt off to get there.
