Thanks to Mr. Research, we now have noticed the ”Hoops Whisperer.” Maybe you’ve heard of the “Horse Whisperer.” Or the “Dog Whisperer.” The “Hoops Whisperer”? Say hello to another one of the training gurus, only with a slightly different slant. According to a May, 2014, blurb in The New Yorker, Idan Ravin fancies himself a thinker on both basketball and life. He refers to his practice court as a sanctuary, to his clients as Dream Catchers, and to his koans of wisdom as “Idanics.” (Like, there is no “ I” in team but there are two in “listening.”)

Believe it or not, he does have a roster of big-name clients.
