Kim Caldwell, Megan Duffy & Gavin Petersen got D1 head coach jobs last year. They have the same agent: Brian Stanchak. “There’s a lot of agencies that don’t prioritize women’s basketball. That’s part of the reason why I’ve stayed focused on this niche.”.

Assistant coaches should never leave the office without asking (even if you already know the answer) the Head Coach “Is there anything else I can do for you?” #AssistantCoachTip.

I think that any aspiring coach should start @ DII, DIII, or JUCO level: learn to handle multiple responsibilities (many they won’t want to do), work w limited resources, & hone craft identifying & developing SAs. Weeds out those not willing to grind, while developing skills.

Everyone reaches out when a Head Coach gets a job - either congratulations or wanting a position on staff . Few reach out when a Head Coach is let go . Until you’re through it, you don’t know how much it means & the impact it makes hearing from others in the hard times.

As an Assistant Coach, whether your team loses a single game or have lost a lot so far, your attitude should never be more negative than your Head Coach. Your job is to bring the same level of positivity & energy each & every good & bad day the program may have.

I want to recognize all coaches leading their programs through postponements, cancellations, & (once again) uncertainty. I know this is not easy, especially when you’re being looked upon for answers that you don’t have & an organized plan that changes by minute. Stay positive!.

A good basketball coach doesn’t make a good Head Coach . There is so much more that goes into the position . Plus, great head coaches have great assistant coaches.

To be truly successful in coaching, you have to embrace that it is a profession that requires more than steady 9-5 hours & 5 days a week. You’re ALWAYS on call. It’s obvious to me which coaches embrace the profession, and which just like the “idea” of it.

Assistant coaches should never leave the office without asking the Head Coach (even if you already know the answer) “Is there anything else I can do for you?” . Head coaches can enhance morale and a cohesive environment by occasionally asking the same to their assistant coaches.

I started @TheBDSAgency in 2013 with the hope of making a difference and prioritizing a women’s basketball coaching profession that was secondary to most agents. I am so proud of the work we’ve done over the past decade, helping so many men’s and women’s basketball coaches.

Let's talk about job 1st-year Head Coach @YolettMcCuin did this year - took over program that lost 1/2 it's roster from a 1 win SEC team. She pieced roster together & led @OleMissWBB to 3 SEC wins, while earning 12 seed in SEC Tourny (not 14th as most expected). Future is bright!.
Rebels show a lot of fight in the 2nd Half, but their season comes to a close after a 64-57 loss to Florida in the First Round of the SEC Tournament.
