Be somewhere you are celebrated and not tolerated. Sometimes free isn’t always good. Invest in yourself, it’ll make you value and cherish things more.

I think one of the biggest misconceptions we as coaches have is that it’s about X’s and O’s. It’s about experiences, we are paid life coaches and tour guides. Where I am from many wouldn’t have touched a pencil, read a book, sat in class, woke up for school, etc. without the game of basketball. I think the art and love of the game is kinda being buried but not by the players but more so the men and women that are supposed to be guiding them through it. We often make it about us and that’s not what this game is about, it’s about delivering an experience and guiding these kids. You see it a lot at the high school level, coaches chasing city and state titles but it’s not for the kids, they do it for popularity amongst their circles and peers. This isn’t an indictment that we all do it but more so a wake up call to those that do. The kids come first if you remember that you’ve already won. Remember that and you’ll find it much easier to be secure and also look yourself in the mirror, be proud and say I made a difference in someone’s life. Good day ALL!!!

I hope we understand that the opportunities to play basketball in college, compared to high school is significantly less! If you’re in that small percentage, it’s a big deal, whatever the division, location, school! 🏀

Most D1s report to school in the next two weeks. Some of you waited by the phone too long and reality is about to hit you.

Parents be mindful that you are speaking with ADULTS that are interested in your kid, not someone selling you a flying elephant. Be courteous it costs you nothing.

Real.
Everytime I get mad at my sports team for losing, I remind myself of what Giannis said. Arguably my favorite response to a reporter ever.
