High school coaches - we have to do something. I have no idea what but this is getting out of hand. Too many good coaches run off for the wrong reasons.

HS basketball players don’t lose hope. When we asked coaches all over the country to help you they responded, 689 of them! 49 different states answered our call for help. Our market research team is analyzing the data now. There are people fighting for you. @letthemplayca1.

The same people that told us we would never have a season are the same people that told us advocacy would never work and are now complaining about testing. Some people have a problem for every solution. We have a path to have a basketball season. Let’s keep moving forward.

Dear @GavinNewsom please let me know a good time for you to hop on a zoom call with the student-athletes on our team. We are looking for the difference between indoors for practice and indoors at dinner parties. Thanks!.

Facts:.•43 states played HS basketball - not one of them would be allowed to play under CA’s metric. •0 states had to stop their season once it started. •CA is adhering to tiers that the original author (@NFHS_Org) has since rescinded . Why is CA different? . #letthemplayCA.

Spoke to a buddy last night who coaches at the d1 level. When I asked him how the evaluation period was going, he said:. “Who is teaching these kids four dribble step backs and who is telling them it is impressive?!” . “When did point guards stop passing?”.

Dear @CAgovernor @GavinNewsom @JimDeBoo -.Why are you forcing our young men and women to travel out of state? Why are you forcing more CA dollars to be spent in UT and AZ? Why are you forcing sports to go underground? The mental and physical health of our students is at stake.

It was ugly basketball at times but it was beautiful to see young men competing safely. We had some fun. We learned some things. We will push forward . and that is just a few of the reasons team sports are so important for our youth.

When your coach is talking to you about roles and embracing them this season, never forget that James Harden was 6th man of the year before he was MVP.

There are far too many administrators treating high school coaches like commodities. One upset parent and most (not all) admins crumble. The devaluing of the human component of coaches is concerning. 1st step - eliminate the "at will" contracts for coaches.

Just a thought for the @CIFSS :.If teams have played the same amount of home games, reward the team with the higher seed rather than a random coin flip. Seed has to start meaning something. @LACourtReport.

What is it like coaching at MHS?. Our AD called as he was personally setting up the gym for tonight. He closed with “We have other admin on duty tonight, it is my anniversary. Good luck!”. He never once flinched when I was discussing scheduling this game. The kids come first here.

Looking over some things last night I realized 1 year ago yesterday we started practice for the 2021 spring season. That means in 12 months HS bball coaches in CA have coached 2 full regular seasons and had barely 1 off season. If you’re a parent that wants to complain ….

The game lost a real one today. RIP Mike Law. Didn't matter where I was coaching or what my title was - Mike Law treated me (and everyone) like royalty every time I saw him. You always walked away from Mike feeling better about life.

It has been a wild week. We couldn’t be happier to join the SC family. Their commitment to continuing the proud tradition of Saints is exciting. Coach C set the bar we will try to clear every darn day.

Every team that called me leading up to the draft asked some form of these 3 things:. Q1 - Did you enjoy coaching Drake?.Q2 - How did he handle adversity?.Q3 - Did his teammates like playing with him?. A1 - Hell yes. A2 - Put his head down and went harder. A3 - Hell yes.

I’m old enough to remember when the @mcdonalds_aa game was the best HS players in the country. Now we announce the teams before the HS season is over & have prep school coaches whining about not getting 4 players in the game. Prep schools are NOT high schools.

Lost in the whole Coach Izzo situation from last night - it works because he loves his players AND they know it. It stands out because he isn’t like that every play with every player. Trust and love is key.

So the finality of things is cause for reflection. As I reflect on how far we have to go, I am amazed at how far we have come in 3 years. Heath, Brandon, TO, Drake, Noah, Ethan, now TA and AJ walk out of our program having left it better than they found it. The future is bright.

The most underrated coaching job so far this year … and no one is talking about it (yet) is @CoachWaterman at Academy of Art in San Francisco. He has his D2 squad firing, already beat a D1 team, 8-3 overall and 4-0 in conference play.

Already seeing tweets with #neverforget. Here’s hoping one of the things we never forget is that our immediate response as Americans was to come together, not break apart. We embraced our differences because we knew our similarities were stronger. We need more of that now.
