VMI ranked 359th at KenPom to start the season and was picked dead last in the SoCon. Widely expected to be one of the worst teams in college basketball. Not only weren’t the Keydets bad, they are now heading to the conference tourney semis.

My coaching philosophy on ball movement was shaped early. My father James Silas made me watch the greats... including @GregAnthony50 who proved that elite passing elevates teams. Mr. Anthony thank you for showing me that you can create great shooters & shots through connection.
I’ve been on this hill for years…the best shooting teams are the best passing teams. It’s a great way to connect your team. You won’t make someone a great shooter but great passing will improve everyone’s ability to make shots

I'm realizing my deep belief in the importance of passing is some marriage between dark hours spent firing left hand passes @CoachSundance and my conversation with @ShaneLaflin about how #PaigeBueckers is the best at understanding the methodical part of player development.
