With only 4 days left in the high school basketball season, Mike Ellis wasn t about to stop teaching.
The Evanston head coach used the 10-minute halftime intermission Tuesday at Highland Park to get his team back to basics.
Following a brief halftime talk, the Wildkits spent the next 8 minutes focusing on a passing drill, one they would typically turn to in a daily practice. So this was probably the shortest practice of Ellis coaching career.
Subscribe I might have pulled that back when I was a freshman coach (1993 at Peoria Richwoods), Ellis said following Evanston s 50-36 Central Suburban League crossover win. We just threw so many careless, nonchalant passes in the first half, and nothing I put on the whiteboard (Xs and Os) would have changed that.
