Working in basketball for a living is so freaking cool. Getting to “work” in a gym and around kids is really special and something that not many are fortunate enough to be able to do.

Every interaction is an INTERVIEW! One day you will be hired by someone who you don’t even know is watching you. Make every room better because you are in it, and watch how many great things happen in your life.

100 wins is a pretty cool milestone for a kid who never wanted to be anything but a college basketball coach. I am very grateful for all of the players, coaches, and friends that I have been fortunate to work with over the past 5+ years as a HC, and 16 years in college basketball

So many young people don’t appreciate the value of body language. When a coach is evaluating whether you can play for them, start for them, or whether they can trust you with the ball- body language is vital! Do you want to trust someone who is sulking or complaining?

Watching games over the past few weeks, I can’t help but think of how small the margin of error is in every single game. So many seasons have ended because of missed FTs & FT block outs, giving up 2 & 1s while up 3, TOs, clock management, etc. Victory lies in the details!

Wish more players would understand this. It’s not a wise use of your time to work on creating shots if you haven’t mastered making shots. There are levels to this and you can’t skip steps. Get good at the basics first
In school, you can’t move on to multiplication & division until you learn addition & subtraction.
Shooting & finishing are addition & subtraction.
If you can’t shoot, why are you working on creating space for jumpers? Makes NO sense. Make shots then learn how to create them!
