Creighton Men Basketball Communication Analysis
My group chose to focus on the communication practice of Creighton Men’s Basketball practice, we chose to do this practice because though it is the sport of basketball, it is going to have a different dynamic than a high school practice or even the UNL Men’s Basketball team’s practice. Though we tried our best to show exactly what was seen in the practice we had a few differences and similarities, the scenes that we chose to showcase in our performance were full of direct quotes and drills. There were a few parts of the practice that we couldn’t show such as the different dynamics between the players themselves and the coaches.
For the practice of Creighton Men’s Basketball Practice when my group tried to reproduce the practice I found that we were not able to show the same seriousness as the players do, we cannot move or handle the ball as well as they do, we didn’t have actual hoops to shoot basketballs in, nor did we have a court to run up. Finally, we as the group members, aren’t men so we cannot act, move, talk and communicate in the same ways that the players do. The similarities between our performance and the actual

Also, our observation did not affect the players’ actions while practicing, because they are used to people watching their practices. We know this because Ronnie came up to Madison and I after their practice was over and we asked him if it’s normal for a bunch of people to be around and watching their practice. Another reason I think that what we showed was actual daily communication comes from the coaches and the comments they had for some of their players. A prime example is a coach telling a player he is tired of telling him every day to get his hands up, and then telling the player to always work on defense because he sucks at

    St. Anthony Analysis

    “‘We're all going to keep working and getting better, because we have the formula right here”’ (Wojnarowski 180). This quote shows Bob Hurley’s simplistic formula for winning; work hard, win games. This connects to the Xaverian value of simplicity because as described by St. John's Prep, “Simplicity call us to be fully present in all we do… and embrace the infinite potential of every person...” St. Anthony players have to be “fully present” as they work hard in Bob Hurley’s practices and “embrace their full potential” as basketball players as well as people. By being fully present in basketball practice it causes the St. Anthony team to be “fully present in all they all they do” which is one of core ideas of the Xaverian value of simplicity.…

    Robert, your work with the coaches and basketball players is an excellent example of tacit-to-tacit knowledge. Through observing and imitating the coaches you are learning the process that is necessary for workouts for the players. You are then able to incorporate what you have learned through the apprentice process and utilize that knowledge gained and incorporate your own ideas on the subject to create your own distinctive style.…

    After I watched two hours of intense play and the huddle split, I observed high fives and complex handshakes of some sort. “Hampton on three. Hampton on three. ONE, TWO, THREE, HAMPTON!” They started coming my way; as an ex-basketball player, deep down I yearned for a handshake or some kind of acknowledgment, but I sat there like a fork in the road. Each member parted around me to my left and to my right, some giving head nods and some giving nothing at all. I quickly realized that I was clearly not a part of this discourse community.…

    Though this task required the observation of the conversation of just a group, I must admit that I had to observer a number of groups in a number of settings before focusing on one. As I carried out these observations, the variations coupled with the literature on the subject brought out very many insights into the power of conversation and the enormity of the focus necessary, as a coach, to execute successfully, a learning dialogue. Staying in control is the ultimate goal and even when going down a slippery slope it is you who would have to determine how far down the slide goes.…
