The BEST Point Guards are the ones who can take over the game without scoring a ton of points.. Being vocal, sharing the ball, excellent decision making, fierce on ball defense, and by showing trust/confidence in others. Leaders LEAD by example!

Teams who effectively share the ball shoot a higher % from the field. Good shots become great shots with one more pass. Proper spacing & lane touches help shooters get open looks by forcing the D to scramble. Hockey assists and dribble to pass ratios are GREAT things to track.
PLAYERS: STOP looking at the rankings (they donβt matter) and START looking in the mirror. That is where you will find your REAL competition!

Wish there were more PGβs that were willing to pitch it ahead after receiving the outlet pass instead of slowing down the break with the dribble. But then again, if players arenβt sprinting the floor it doesnβt matter. All 5 players have to be on the same page. Quit being lazy!!!
Life is 2 short 2 wake up in the morning w/ regrets. So love the ones who treat u right, forget the ones who donβt. Remember that everything happens for a reason. If u get a chance take it, if it changes ur life, let it. No 1 said itβd be easy, they promised it would be worth it.
Best way 2 teach a new skill/drill? Involve all 3 learning styles! On average players retain 10% (Auditory) 30% (Visual) 60% (Kinesthetic). And donβt forget, ALWAYS teach the WHY! If players donβt know the why, they arenβt learning the game.

Will never forget that Future150 camp in ATL. He went through my station and KILLED IT. Then when we saw him live I knew it was a wrap. Crazy how life comes full circle.

Sending prayers to Coach Feekenβs family, friends, and the entire Gretna basketball community. He was a great coach and an even better person. He touched so many lives on and off the court and I know his memory will live on forever.

Successful teams space & cut with a purpose, make shots & they move the ball w/out over dribbling. Swinging the ball side-top-side with quickness & precision. When this is done teams become extremely tough to guard because of ball & player movement. Execute!

Successful transition teams strike with the pass, not with the dribble. The goal? Lay-ups, pull-up jumpers, corner 3βs and drag action 3βs. Open floor spacing is key. Always focused on attacking and making shots! All 5 guys sprinting and filling their role!

PLAYERS: 90-95% of the game ..you wonβt have the ball in your hands. Learn how to space, move, cut, screen with a purpose. Be hard to gaurd!

Without ball/player movement, a team is easy 2 defend. Swinging the ball, sharp cutting & proper spacing are prerequisites 2 scoring. Teams who do these things force the D into scramble situations. Long close outs = uncontested shots & better driving lanes.

get off to a great start this year. Was locked in all summer and didnβt slow down once he stepped on campus this fall. Big win last night for
@GoJacksMBB
after a close one against Akron earlier in the week.
The best defenders are the ones who get their player out of their comfort zone by being disruptive in everything they do..playing physical (in their man), denying the ball, getting thru/over screens, contesting jumpers. Being relentless without fouling!

90% of a childβs coordination is achieved by the age of 12. But yet people want to specialize and play a thousand games when their kid canβt walk and chew gum at the same time. Play multiple sports. Work on skill and motor development. Most of all .. have fun getting better!
JD ..I donβt even know where to start. A little over 13 years ago we worked out for the very first time. Little did I know that workout would lead to where we are today. Seeing you and your amazing family celebrate your career last night meant the world to me. Congrats again!
Confidence comes from preparation, not playing time. If u lack confidence, it's b/c u don't practice enough, not because u don't play enough! Want to improve? Get your butt in the gym and WORK!
Players must be:
1) Connected
2) Committed
3) Prepared
Players must be willing to:
1) Talk
2) Listen
3) Learn
"Learn to Listen" and then "Listen to Learn"

Two KEY attributes of Great Teams: 1) They share the ball 2) They play alert, help defense. Championship teams pass and defend as a TEAM.

Doubt many worked harder than this guy did the last four weeks. Dropped 18 pounds, added muscle, increased his explosiveness, gained several inches on his vertical, improved his ability to change speed/direction & dominated workouts on the court!

You can never do too much of these:
β Rebound
β Hustle
β Take charges
β Screen
β Cut
β Talk
β Defend
β Box out
β Dive after loose balls
β Get to the line

Life isn't about finding yourself..it is about creating yourself. There are so many people out there who will tell you that you can't. When writing the story of your life, make sure you are the one holding the pen.

Hate to see players skip (or not take) the weight room seriously. Much can be corrected through proper training. For example, improving stability. Stability provides more power through better engagement of muscles, helps improve alignment, and ensures correct timing in the shot.

"Pressure is a privilege"
A coach will put you in during a pressure situation because he/she believes in you. That you have put in the EXTRA WORK required to be successful. Shot to win the game. Defensive stop to preserve the win. Etc.
Earn it. Embrace it. Own it.
The best help defenders are the ones who can stunt/show with their body... arms AND feet. This puts doubt in the passer/dribbler's head. Don't just reach ..get in position! Show and recover - deflections count!

Too many kids worried about rankings. Rankings don't pay for college and 99% are bogus anyways. Want to earn that scholarship $$$? Consistent production matters ... not social media hype. The season is here, show up or shut up.

Want to be successful? Find people that push you to do and be better. No drama, hate, or jealous negativity. Just higher goals and higher motivation. Good times and positive energy. People who bring out the absolute best in each other.
