Middle schoolers that aren’t taught man-to-man principles are really being done a disservice because once they get to high school, they will expect to get minutes, but will struggle with instinctually moving with the ball and calling screens. #CoachingMatters

A HS coach can pour out their entire being to guide a team only to be scapegoated, railroaded and have kids looking to transfer b/c the coach is trying to do right by the team; not just one or two kids. The profession is brutal, but the real will always rise #StayStrong 🦾

High schoolers really think players end up at a JuCo because they are not good at basketball. That rude awakening comes quickly. There are players with league championships, league MVPs, All-Area, 1st & 2nd Section and State at these junior colleges.

Playing is not a right. Basketball isn’t for everyone. If you don’t work on your game CONSTANTLY, you are not going to outperform anyone. There’s no secret to hooping. The great ones all dripped sweat, threw up, iced and did it over & over again. #BallDontLie

Just because you’re in the gym shooting or dribbling doesn’t mean that you are getting better. If you’re not going game speed or you’re not mentally locked into what and/or how you’re doing things, you may as well not be in the gym. #skilldevelopment #getbetter

Sports is about trust. Players and families have to trust the coaches’ intentions. Coaches have to trust the players and families intentions. Too many people in sports forget what trust entails and that leads to the erosion of sports as a vehicle for growth. #TrustTheProcess

Don’t be that coach that ONLY helps their own players. One of your players, most definitely benefited from someone seeing them and vouching and you didn’t even know it. The 🏀 community is small, we all need each other.

There’s nothing wrong with a player “basic” game 1 or 2-dribble moves, fakes, jabsteps, pro hops, pivoting, floaters, pull-ups, left hand, right hand That’s a lot without having to do euros, stepbacks and/or sidesteps (I don’t teach them until a guy can do all the above first)

As coaches, we say “guys you gotta talk more”, but our players need to be taught what exactly to say. It should be more of a conversation instead of mindless chatter. “Ball, ball, ball”≠“I’m got ball” “Help, help, help”≠“send them this way…I’m on your left/right”

Some parents make middle school sports miserable for their kids with the coaching from the sideline and crazy antics with the coaches or refs after the game. Trust the coach/ref to have the best intentions or find a way to join the staff/reffing unit and legitimately help.

College basketball is different now. Between holdbacks, prepping, JuCo and the transfer portal, there is no room for error. Better take your opportunities serious and work on your physical and mental game. Coaches are getting fired and looking for instant impact players.
