Kevin Bavery has been coaching high school basketball since 1982.
He’s been a varsity coach since 1991.
Despite nearly 4 ½ decades in the sport, Bavery remains one of the more adaptable coaches you’ll find.
For better or worse, Bavery isn’t married to a certain system or style of play. Instead, he’ll adjust each season based on his personnel.
This winter, Bavery believes the Cardinals’ best path to victory will be playing fast and relying on their depth. So Middleton will push the pace and substitute with great frequency, trying to wear down opponent’s in the process.
“Without having played a game yet, what stands out is our ability to exert energy,” said Bavery, whose team hosts Sun Prairie West Thursday in their season-opener. “The overall skill set of handling, passing, attacking the basket and knocking down shots is higher. Rebounding has to be a big area of focus. We can't get out and run without the ball.”
