and to see if there are matchups to exploit or who's hot. He pulls players when they do dumb things quietly, never embarassing them, just making sure they stew and think back on the bench. He relies on a few players expecially his point leader. This year its Talia, but from Sydney Wiese to Mikaylah Pivec to Aleah Goodman, he has developed them well to be like a coach on the floor. He'll do the same with Freshman point Donovan Hunter, but when the game is tight Talia has the ball. He also always develops great post players often using his longtime very tall assistant Eric Ely to fine tune those skills as well as Jonas Chatterton, Scott's top assistant for 10 years. Aleah, who Scott has known since she was a kid, has been added to the staff and is doing great with the guards.

His in game coaching is his strength as he has beaten many teams that have more talent. He has great out of bounds plays and end of game strategy. He saves his timeouts. His most recent end of game brilliance was when he and Cori Close were matched up in a big game this year, but Beers was out since KiKi Rice had a flagrant foul and broke her nose so she had to go tom the ER. The highlights for this ending are well worth the watch:
