WHY YOU WATCH FILM

Last night we are up two with 12 seconds left to go (on the road) and the other team has the ball and calls a timeout. They have it near half court on the side and I knew exactly what they were going to run before their coach even knew I think. We drew it up, switched it correctly, got the steal on the inbounds play and finished the game. You may go an entire season without putting yourself in that position but that is why you watch so much film. Yes it helps you with tendancies and the scout, but every coach also has tendancies and when you can figure those out and use it to effect the outcome of a game, that is why you spend so much time watching film for a game.
