Capital City recorded its first winning season under Richman, also helping two players earn call-ups with the Wizards.\n\n\n\n\nRichman served as an assistant coach on the front of Brooks\u2019 bench in 2018-19, after spending his first three seasons with the organization in the video room before transitioning to a role as player development coordinator/assistant coach in Scott Brooks' first year as head coach (2016-17). In that role, he assisted player development during pre-practice, pre-game, and after-hours sessions while also analyzing game film and holding responsibility for game scouts and preparation.\n\n\n\n\nRichman also served as the head coach of the 2018 Wizards\u2019 Summer League team, where he led current Wizards Troy Brown Jr. and Thomas Bryant to standout performances.\n\n\n\n\nAfter playing one season at Skidmore College Richman transferred to the University of Maryland and served as a scout player for the women\u2019s basketball team under Head Coach Brenda Freese, where he learned player development, scouting, and film. Richman then worked as a graduate assistant at Maryland under Head Coach Mark Turgeon, where he assisted in day-to-day basketball operations prior to joining the Wizards\u2019 staff in 2013.\n\n\n\n\nRichman is a native of West Hartford, Connecticut. He holds a bachelor\u2019s degree in government and politics from the University of Maryland.\n\n\n\n\nBreakdown\n\n1:30 - Opportunity to be a Head Coach\n\n5:00 - Takeaways from Experience as Head Coach\n\n7:00 - Applying Scout\n\n10:00 - Video Animation\n\n13:00 - Impact of Men's and Women's Programs\n\n16:00 - Type of Film other Coaches Wanted\n\n20:00 - Potential Head Coaching in G-League\n\n24:00 - Preparation as a Head Coach\n\n27:30 - Court Coaching\n\n31:30 - Court Responsibilities\n\n34:30 - First Preparations for G-League\n\n39:00 - Managing the Players\n\n42:00 - Mindset as a Coach\n\n44:30 - X's and O's\n\n47:00 - Coaches Template\n\n50:30 - Feedback\n\n53:00 - Improvements\n\n55:30 - Macro and Micro Thinking\n\n59:00 - Better Understanding of Coaching\n\n1:02:00 - Enlightenment to Other Coaches\n\n1:07:00 - Game is Visual than Verbal\n\n1:09:00 - Conclusion\n\n\n\n\nRyan Richman\u2019s Bio:\n\nBio: https://basketball.realgm.com/staff/Ryan-Richman/Summary/1093\n\nTwitter: https://twitter.com/ryanrichman\n\n\n\n\nBasketball Immersion\n\nWebsite: http://basketballimmersion.com/\n\nTwitter: https://twitter.com/bballimmersion?lang=en\n\nYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/basketballimmersion\n\nFacebook: https://facebook.com/basketballimmersion\n\n\n\n\nBetOnline Website:\n\nWebsite: www.betonline.ag\n\n\n\n\nBest in the West Video Series\n\nBest in the West Website: http://bestinthewestclinic.com/\n\nSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/4fe8f263-cb5a-46c8-9561-282a941f8811/135e2835370674a32c6c6235a6a3e54f4f6110ae3868283f018ade21bc307ab.jpeg"}
