Not going to make many coaching friends here but… I didn’t realize until getting into HS basketball how much the charge has (rightfully) been officiated out of college basketball. It’s an epidemic in HS basketball. Standing under an airborne offensive player at the rim is not

Proud of Zeke… big time competitor. Excited for what he brings to this group this year.
MAJOR props to Zeke Kelly (@EzekielKelly12) of @ACSLions_BB 🏀 While they didn’t get the win over Combine Academy, Kelly was one of the biggest reasons why the Lions cut Combine’s lead from 20 down to 4. An incredible competitor who never stops fighting #PhenomTipOff

RESPONDING TO MISTAKES "I'm letting the team down because I turned the ball over ... missed a shot ... blew a defensive assignment. No, you're letting the team down when it parlays into 4 or 5 possessions after that. Pick yourself up... You're playing a game that's imperfect."

🗣 "He'd be in the zone when it was crunch time. It was always in the moment we needed it." How Patriots QB Drake Maye first found his "flow state" as a high school basketball star 🏀 https://t.co/XACTd4Y4bi

Drake Maye is balling for the Patriots this season, but as his high school basketball coach recalls, the QB was a star on the court as well.

My favorite comment in regards to the shot clock debate is people thinking that no shot clock = better shot quality. 🛑 There is no correlation with this assumption. The highest % FGA are in the first 8 seconds of a possession, across all competitive levels of play.

The longer I work with performers, the more convinced I am of this: The best performances come from joy, curiosity, exploring potential, and taking on a challenge. When you remove the clutter of fear, you unlock what’s underneath. That’s where the good stuff lives.

This significant and not taught enough… The path to excellence can include intensity and joy! We often talk about the joy is in the work. You can pursue excellence and “have fun” - in truth I’d argue there should be elements of joy and fun or you aren’t pursuing excellence
The path of excellence requires having the right tools and knowing when to use them. It’s crucial to acknowledge that multiple things can be true at once. The things that work, work great—until they get in the way. A big part of what makes the pursuit of excellence endlessly

Thank you @franfraschilla - we played with a 30 second shot clock this weekend @DMVHoopsLive and it was the best thing for us and the game. It makes ALL players better basketball players by improving their ability to make quick reads and decisions. It is best for HS basketball!
I just don’t understand how each state hasn’t adopted a shot clock already. The shot clock is the ultimate player development tool at the grassroots/high school. The 24-second FIBA clock that is used at the lowest levels of basketball around the world is the reason players like
