The Warriors with a BIG weekend of wins! Men’s Hockey 2-0 at Notre Dame Women’s Hockey 2-0 vs. Post and St. Michael’s Football win over UNH. I’ll take a look later, but this feels like the first 5-0 week for these teams in quite some time. A great weekend to be a Warrior!

Book is Live! Over the last several months, I’ve had the chance to go back through ten seasons as the head coach at Merrimack and put into words so much of what has shaped our program. More Than the Zone is not a book just about our zone defense. It’s about everything underneath it as well - the recruiting, development, standards, practice design, staff structure, offense, defense, analytics, preparation, and daily habits that have become the Merrimack Basketball Operating System. I loved reliving it. I hope coaches, leaders, and anyone interested in building a team or organization can take something from it and make it their own. More Than the Zone is available now on Amazon. amazon.com/dp/B0HNP5R9SW

Dawn Staley shares the question every recruit should ask and almost none of them do. "Everybody's good on the good days. It is who you can trust, who you can talk to and communicate with on your worst day." Then she explained what she tells every recruit: "We're gonna make you feel good during the recruiting process. You're gonna come here, we're gonna roll out the red carpet, we're gonna give you our best. Everybody's gonna do that." Every program shows you their best - that's the easy part. But it comes down to trust. "I want you to think about if it's 2 or 3 years down the line, when you in a slump, or when you lost a parent, or you broke up with a boyfriend, or whatever - Who's gonna get you back on course to be your talented self?" That's the real question. Not who recruits you the hardest, but who do you trust? And who do you believe will commit to you and your future? Everyone looks good when things are easy. The real test is who shows up when things get hard. (🎥@OldManAndThree)

What started as some spring cleaning in my office and moving season binders from 10 years ago up to the attic—somehow turned into a 13-chapter book. Really enjoyed reliving the last 10 seasons as Merrimack’s head coach and putting the ideas, lessons, and experiences from that time into one place. Hoping to release More Than the Zone in the next few weeks.

Not joking when I say this is his best quote ever.
Joe Mazzulla on reports of the Celtics vibes being high at training camp "Every team you lead is the most together team right now. Because we haven't traveled. No one's gotten benched. No one's been on a losing streak. No one's gotten blamed in the media. No one's had to go stand in the corner for 10 minutes and not get the ball. So, you learn those things as the season goes on, and you just learn how to work through those things together. And you can't simulate those. It just comes with time. And so, right now I would say all 30 teams feel great about themselves, and we got to wait till adversity hits. And adversity is even a strong word. There's nothing really adverse about playing in the NBA. But we got to wait until stuff doesn't go your way, and then you got to figure out who we are and how we're going to be at our best."

If losing doesn’t bother you, winning probably doesn’t mean enough to you. The best competitors take responsibility because they care deeply about the result, the team, and the standard. Caring deeply comes with a cost but so does becoming great.
