What happened to ethics in the coaching business? If a player is signed, I leave them alone, not try to entice them to leave and come to my program. It's called WORK(Recruit), I guess some coaches don't know about that!

It's A lot of guys out there that has a lot of "interest" from schools and thinks it's an offer or that it will eventually be an offer soon. If a coach really wants you, they will OFFER you! Keep posting "interest", it's interesting!

Invest in your players and staff. Show them you care and always uplift them with positivity during tough times, that can be practices and off the court. It goes a long way. I tell my guys I'm different, they don't believe it at 1st, but I try to show them on a daily basis. ELITE!

Best network connections are coaches you don't chase, answer phones, reply to text or emails, ones you finally meet in person and hold a conversation, instead of a quick hand shake, build your network with genuine relationships, not one that call only when they need something!

So a aau coach tells a 2023 kid to wait until the end of July & keep playing in aau tournaments to get a offer. FYI Athletes report to campus 1st week of AUG. Recruiting services know the kids your promoting, cause what kids say on the phone is different from what you are saying!

Now this is a real question, if a kid is in the portal, do the coaches reaching out to them actually contact the previous coach they played for or just take the players word as to why they are transferring? If not, then you wonder why you got a player that's a problem for YOU!!
