In my 25 years, the game of basketball has given me my best friends, my greatest mentors, some of my most cherished moments, an education and now a job working at the birthplace of basketball. I am forever indebted to the game of basketball. Thank you James Naismith.
130 years ago today, Dr. James Naismith invented basketball in a YMCA in Springfield, Massachusetts.
The rest is history 🙌🏀

According to the NCAA’s database, there are only 15 female assistant coaches in Men’s College Basketball. 0 female head coaches. There are 461 male head coaches in Women’s College Basketball. The inequality is ridiculous. Something needs to change.

This is what coaching is all about. Not the wins and the losses or the quality of basketball. But the impact you have on your players. Get 12 guys who would run through a wall for you and you’ll have a great chance at being successful.
Texas State interim head coach Terrence Johnson couldn’t be on the sidelines when his team clinched the Sun Belt title due to COVID protocols.
So he drove to the gym. And the team found him. This is awesome.
HIRE THAT MAN!!!

This is such an important message to hear as a coach and a person. Those who act out are often the ones who need your kindness the most.
Antonio Brown literally quit on Tom Brady in the middle of a game
I absolutely didn’t expect this reaction of immediate sympathy
who knows what AB is going thru but credit to Brady, this level of empathy & humanity in the moment is impressive

Every player should strive to have Steph currys skill set. But the easiest way to earn playing time is learning from draymond. Know the offense in and out from all 5 positions. Make the extra pass. Never miss a defensive rotation. Knowledge and effort will earn you a role.
Compilation of Draymond Green's defensive activity tonight vs the Blazers. Really wiped away the Nurkić roll game.

“I used to pray for success. Now I pray to be worthy of success.” The great thing I’ve learned as a coach is to control what you can control and work to better yourself everyday. It’s the only thing I can ask for of my players and the only thing I can demand of myself.

“No person has been more important and impactful to my life, outside of family, than Coach K.” That’s why I got into coaching. There’s no greater joy than forming that connection and bond with your players. I hope I have half that impact on one players life.
I think this is the most impactful coaching career we’ve ever seen.

AAU has no rules anymore. As a coach, I understand the fear of having your committed player playing aau. But I can’t blame the kids. As a grown man I still wish I could go out there and hoop, so I understand players wanting to. People who love playing ball, love playing ball.
Why do committed 2023s insist on playing aau against 17 year olds. Go play men’s league!!!

I’d politely disagree. I think most all live period players want to play college basketball. They are just young kids who don’t know exactly what it takes. It’s on us coaches to show them the discipline, hard work and maturity it takes to go where they want to be.
Based on what I saw with my own eyes this past live period weekend…
Im estimating that less than 25% of the players I saw actually want to play college basketball.

Seen a lot of people talk about Miami vs the Celtics being a case where one team is hot from 3 and the other is cold. Call me crazy but I don’t believe in team 3 point variability. When your team gets good shots, you normally shoot well. When you don’t, you shoot poorly.

I see that POV for sure! Do think aau is about more than just exposure. Get to play the game you love with ppl who become your brothers over a 4 month period because of how much time you spend with each other. I understand the allure for players who don’t need exposure.
I think it’s on the kids as much as the adults when we’re talking signed seniors playing aau. You’re 18 or 19 years old. If you can’t realize that playing in an exposure event when you don’t need exposure, then you missed the whole point of grassroots hoops

Completely agree with you! That’s why I think AAU needs more rules/a more sound governing body. My point was that if the opportunity presents itself, the players are never going to say no and I can’t blame them. Needs to start with the adults and rule setting.
@CoachChrisKing1
Wasn’t even thinking of poaching, mostly injuries. Also:
- people who love ball can join a men’s league to get better
- taking opportunities away from your aau teammates
- all the kids you played for years aren’t playing anymore
End of the day this is hurting youth basketball

The show must go on! No better way to celebrate the holidays than with some hoops.
Quick update. With a team canceling out of the Naismith tournament, tough to get 2 games with a 3 team format. Schedule as follows:
12/30- Bates v RWU-3:00
12/31- SC v RDU-3:00
1/1- SC v Bates-2:00
Kudos to SC Athletics for working out.
Happy Holidays to all 🎅

Some people are leaders and others are great basketball players. This quote shows us exactly where Kevin Durant stands.
"Look at our starting lineup. Edmond Sumner, Royce O'Neale, Joe Harris, [Nic] Claxton and me. It's not disrespect, but what are you expecting from that group? You expect us to win because I'm out there."

Rags on kids for “bragging” about offers but doesn’t have the common decency to tell them their offers are no longer on the table. I can tell you now which actions shows a greater lack of character and respect.

In 5th grade, my mom told me “if you want to learn a thing about coaching, listen 2 Coach Dubuc’s huddles.” We spent that day behind his St.Pats bench listening to him give concise instruction, love, and demand nothing less than max effort for 32 mins. South Hadley royalty.
“We want to be tough mentally. We want to be tough physically,” South Hadley coach Paul Dubuc said. “We’ll play hard every day.”

Great teammates want their star player to score 50. Great star players don’t give a damn how many they score.
Late in the game, Al Horford screens for Tatum so that he could try to get 50. Tatum shakes his head no, and then tells Kyle Lowry "I already got a 50"

In 1991 Magic Johnson announced he had HIV. He was constantly ridiculed because people thought he was gay or had loose sexual morals. Charles Barkley wore Magic’s number this year despite this backlash because he wanted to support his friend. That’s courage. That’s love.
In 1991, Charles Barkley decided to change jersey numbers as a tribute to Magic who had recently retired. A firestorm ensued when 76ers fans hit the radio call-in lines to criticize him for having Billy Cunningham's retired number "pulled down".
This was Chuck's response:
