Are players being overcoached to the point of failure? Bobby Whyte, Coach Ross, and Combo tackle this hot topic head-on, challenging traditional training methods and emphasizing the importance of letting players develop naturally. They break down why most trainers are more focused on justifying their own methods rather than actually helping players win—and how that’s holding hoopers back.

Bobby Whyte, Coach Ross, and Combo sit down with Reid Ouse, an elite basketball trainer whose journey has taken him from coaching JV players in a New Jersey dance studio to working with Paige Bueckers (UConn), Johni Broome (Auburn), and other top college athletes.

The conversation dives into what separates great players from the rest, the misconceptions about toughness in today’s game, and the impact of NIL and transfer culture on player development. Reid shares why emotional regulation and coachability are the real game-changers and breaks down how NBA stars like Kyrie Irving and James Harden have influenced modern skill development—for better or worse.
