Noticed a player tonight (while scouting another kid). At halftime I called a coaching friend and told him he should keep an eye on him. By the end of the game I called him and told him ”nevermind” after sitting near the kid’s father. Parents, don’t ruin your kids’ opportunities.

Roughly 23% of Division-I scholarship players have the ball in their hands more than 10% of the time that they are on the floor. For the majority of players the question becomes what is your non-scoring value? How do you impact winning?

Young coaches, a good way to hone your skills...Call a coach you respect, do a scouting report on their team, present it to them & ask for feedback. It helps them to help you as well bc they learn more about how others see their team & you may also help them generate new ideas.

During the pandemic the idea of the Small College Coaches Roundtable zoom call was developed. ~35 coaches w/ small college hoops experience collaborated once a week and shared ideas. Amazing to follow these guys a year later and to see so many take advantage of the relationships.

Basketball is simple. The discipline of consistency is hard. As coaches, if we can impact a player’s ability with that concept, we have a small impact in every area of their life moving forward. That’s what coaching is about.

In 2013 I moved 1,600+ miles and left a “safe” secure job for $2,000/year and a coaching opportunity. Lived day to day in an Extended Stay and figured it out...and I’m just one of many!
#Sacrifice
is everything!
#NoSecretToSuccess
This time 13 years ago, I burned my boat and moved to Hawaii for the only coaching opportunity I had and maybe would have ever had. I left friends and family to move 4,475 miles for $8,500 a year. The question isn’t can you coach or recruit but what are you willing to sacrifice?

Don’t chase the job, chase the people. Make the decision based on people and who will help you become the best version of yourself. In 5 years, the extra $30,000/year you made will be insignificant if you haven’t grown. Set yourself up to succeed over time!

In basketball there is no status quo. With every rep you are either building a good habit or a bad habit - you never stay the same. Be intentional.

I second this. Small college coaches are some of the hungriest coaches in the industry! Keep fighting and grinding. Your time is coming!
Right now there’s an NAIA/D2/JC Assistant working relentlessly to be the best they can be. Their dream is to get to the next level and truthfully they’re good enough to be there now. However, opportunities are tough to get and they know that. I’ve been there! Your time is coming!
