In this episode, Coach Dave Love is joined by EuroLeague star and former NBA guard Kevin Pangos, who shares his evolving journey from elite player to aspiring coach. As Kevin prepares for life after playing, he offers a rare and thoughtful perspective on what great coaching really looks like—grounded in his firsthand experiences at the highest levels of the game.
Together, Dave and Kevin discuss:
The limitations of traditional coaching methods like explicit instruction and block practice
How Kevin is beginning to form his own coaching philosophy
The powerful impact of concepts like functional movement variability and guided exploration
Kevin also shares how Coach Love’s Sandbox Analogy blog has reshaped how he thinks about shooting development—and how coaches can empower players without micromanaging.
