Do the work…your time will come
As a senior in hs, Jordan Poole came off the bench.
He didn’t start a game his 1st year at Michigan.
He spent last year in the G-League.
He’s now averaging 30ppg in the NBA Playoffs.
Just because it’s not your turn right now doesn’t mean your time isn’t coming. Keep working.

I am not black, and I see you.
I am not black, and I hear you.
I am not black, and I mourn with you.
I am not black, and I see the injustice that you face daily.
I am not black, and I see your fear for your sons and even your daughters.
I am not black.
I do stand with you.

I love seeing HC’s allow their assistants to draw up last minute plays in the huddle. Says a lot about the HC and the confidence they have in their Xs and Os coach!

Nice
The stack flare is a good play by itself, but Brad Stevens and the Celtics add a backdoor action to it to create an advantage.

Works every time...
Overload the weak side vs. a zone to create a spacing advantage. Villanova ran this 3 side overload on the weak side of the floor vs. a zone defense to create a 2-on--1 advantage.

Overwhelmed & humbled to be recognized on this list, huge thanks to all those who have poured in to me over the years so that I may pass on what I have learned, and much appreciation to those I’ve been able to mentor, I’ve learned more from them than I’ve been able to teach
Coaching is often a thankless job that requires giving so much of ourselves. So many never get the appreciation they deserve. Which is why we created the Rising Coaches Awards. We are pleased to announce this year's honorees. 🙏

Young coaches if I can help you in anyway, please ask. If I can introduce you to someone, offer advice, give your resume to somebody let me know. My goal this year is to help as many coaches as possible find an opportunity because we have all been there! 2/2

Love this, going through reads like a quarterback
Basketball is decision-making. Decision-making is a skill. Watch this demonstration of a progression of reads. If one option is not open, another one becomes a possibility. Watch more basketball game examples of decision making in this compilation

The right thing is always the right thing
Coach Staley called a timeout for an injured UCLA player.
Competitiveness towards an opponent and compassion for an opponent can coexist.
Competition makes us better players/coaches, but compassion makes us better people.

Great defensive concepts here
Every defense gives up something. The San Antonio Spurs stunt the middle drive & give up a 2-on-1 on the weak side. In both examples Will Barton misses the 3. Do your players know their closeout? Closeout to the best shooter, & bluff & recover to the worst shooter?

As we all head out to Minneapolis, I’m reminding of how daunting it can feel as a young coach attending maybe for the first time, your feel like you know 3 people out of 3,000 and all you want is an opportunity yet it can feel everyone has their own agenda. 1/2
