I was responsible for every scouting report that was done over 4 seasons. If we talk I'll explain why. Most programs split the seasons reports up among the 4 coaches. Coach Lavin decided he liked how I scouted and that was that.

Scouting at a place like UCLA is vital to understanding everything from personel, to plays and so on. More importantly I would look for specific tendencies and really how much heart did specific players have. I looked for a lot of little things that most coaches wouldn't, but I used to go scout games with my Dad and I'd watch what hee was looking for and what was important to his evaluation and I've done the same.

• Break down all opponent video for all the games we had.

• Create Edit Tape consisting of all offensive set plays, motion, out of bounds, side entry and gimic plays. 

• Create seprate edit consisting of all personel on the upcoming opponent. Paying attention to tendencies, right or left, how hard does he play, range on jump shot, can we exploit him on defense, etc.

• Draw up initial game plan based on my report meaning should we press, we need to really get out and run because they sare lazy, etc. I would give Coach Lavin and Coach Howland the report along with my suggestions then we'd go over it as a staff then make final edits.
