The amount of guys who don’t respond to texts today is baffling to me. Not sure if it’s a generational thing or a pride thing, but many seem to have forgotten that initial impressions are everything.
Wow...this culture shift within basketball leaves me baffled. Just had someone tell me they didn’t bother returning a coaches text because “he is just the Director of Ops so it’s not like he can offer me or anything”.....😮😮😮😮😮
I can’t make a coach offer any kid..I can’t make them see something that isn’t there. I can use my vast network of coaching connections & get players seen n a manner that wouldn’t have happened under any other avenue,but it’s ultimately up to the player to work & coach to offer.
A quick break from the Live Period to celebrate Javonn & Cionna tonight…wouldn’t trade my days at

@CSCCAthletics
and
@CoachClem68
from 2017-19. He made me a better coach! The relationships are what truly make basketball such a special game. 🏀🏀🏀
I can’t put into words how lucky I am to be able to spend hours practicing in the gym every single day.
Today, it felt different.

More compassion. More empathy. More love. More Prayer.
Less judgement. Less virtue-signaling. Less negativity.
No racism. No prejudice. No hatred.
I support all of my family, friends, coaches, players, and anyone else who needs it.

A great & always humbling trip to New Orleans for the Final Four in the books…incredible learning and time spent with countless friends from all corners of college basketball.
The NON-TRANSACTIONAL relationships are what this game is all about 🏀🏀🏀
