Too much coaching and not enough emotion. I would imagine there are times a coach stresses the X's and O's, saying, You need to be here at this moment. You need to do this. You need to do that.
And, the players step on the court focusing on all the little things they need to do, and -- surprise -- they turn in a lackluster performance. For all the screens and switches and spacing they need to do, they need to play with inspiration more than anything. An inspired player will find a way to get things done. He will improvise. He will see the situation and quickly determine a way thru.
Basketball is more than X's and O's; It's !'s, as well. Regardless how well you draw it up, it's emotion that gets it done.
