If you hold people accountable they typically do not like you...until time passes by and they realize that when you held them accountable it meant that you knew they were capable of more. It was actually a COMPLIMENT. Then they become thankful to have had you in their life.

The talent at the local rec center going to be high as well. Not enough scholarships to go around fellas. Will be a bunch of guys in August wishing they had taken that offer!

As a coach you need to realize that helping a player change habits and behavior for the better can impact that family FOR GENERATIONS! Do that for 1 player in your program each year and think about the impact you can have! Our opportunity is incredible! Coach them UP!

Sick for our seniors. Kobe Caldwell worked so hard to get healthy. After his coach left, Joe Laravie gave up chance to break records at CBU because he wanted a tournament run. I just know Darnell Butler had a shining moment left in him.
Love all 3! Thank you seniors!

Two rule changes have to happen in high school basketball.
1. Shot Clock.
2. The clock has to stop during the last minute.
At a game where the team with the lead let the ball bounce for 6 seconds before picking it up. Then the 5 count started.

I played basketball against Jason in high school and later played alongside him on an all star team. One of the strongest and toughest guys I ever went up against but was always very humble. Matches up with the INCREDIBLE courage and selflessness he displayed today!

Former Southern Illinois DE Jason Seaman, a middle school science teacher, is being hailed as a hero after intervening when a student armed with two handguns opened fire today in Indiana.
Seaman was shot 3 times, but is "doing well" after surgery.

It hurts that this season didn’t last two more days and end with a win. It will seem unreasonable to a few but we had one thing on our mind and that was a national championship trophy. Without it we will always feel a little unfulfilled.

Down 5 with 12.5 sec. We hit a 3, forced a turnover, drew a foul, made a free throw, rebounded a missed free throw and put it back in, winning the game in regulation.
I’ll never forget that win.

Players can make a big difference in the game without being noticed. In our 5 point road win on Thursday Jacob Norman’s +/- was at +19. He had 2 points (0-1 FG), 6 rebounds, and 2 assists.
He plays hard, rebounds, executes plays, doesn’t turn it over, and defends.

Bullet coming at you, you dive for cover. Bullet coming at family you dive in front of it.
So, which is a more powerful motivator, love or fear? Then why do many coaches still use fear as their main motivator.
Answer: It’s easier.
Stop taking the easy route. Coach with love!

“Ties to the area” is the most overrated phrase in head coaching searches. If you hire a coach that works hard and knows how to recruit/win he or she will have new “ties to the area” in no time.
Yes, there is some value but it should be more of a tiebreaker than a deal breaker.
