Dawn calls time out, benches Raven in the clutch.
Comes out of timeout and goes to Fulwiley.
Fulwiley w/back to back buckets.
Loudest one cheering…. Raven.

Please DO NOT call Shaheen a “motivator” or “recruiter”.
His teams runs actions at GAME SPEED. They mix it up on defense. They make reads on the fly and guard with pride.
Shaheen can COACH!

Lots of 25 year former hoopers are waking up to the fact that ball ain’t life and are struggling.
Many are reflecting and now questioning those that encouraged them to think ball was life.
Midlife crisis before 30!
Your hoop career should NOT be your peak😳

Took a ref a little while to acknowledge my call for a timeout today. After the t/o he informed me that he lost his hearing in Afghanistan after serving 26 years for our country.
What ever I said in that t/o instantly became irrelevant.
Appreciative of OUR Vets.

Mom was a fiend.
Step dad a p3do.
Raised around Wolves.
A Teenager raising his sibling.
Refused to be a victim.
Became his best case scenario.
His character is one of the greatest representations of the inner city quagmire.

I watched this Man make a NBA all-star team & a few months later buy & deliver lunch 2 score table workers at an AAU tournament.
Watched him interrupt an AAU practice 2 teach proper reads.
Watched him fly out HS players 2 workout w/him in the summer.
The Tone… He’s different

Tough!
Coach Gerlich has motion in west Texas.
Mark my words, the Lubbock fans will be lined up after games to get some personal time w/GiGi.
Not only a high-level hooper, she’s an articulate servant leader.

Someone in the pic didn’t hoop at a D1, didn’t score over a 1000 points, didn’t make all-conference and is not a pro hooper.
The other two check all those boxes and more!
Both came to me in the 7th grade.
Both grew ME!

Little Guards,
Shoot!
Go to the gym, by yourself, & take shots from a spot where you can MAKE 10/12.
Then step back a couple feet, repeat.
Chase your own rebounds, it therapeutic.
It also will show you that NOBODY wants to chase your bricks and MAKING shots matter.

Got a text from a Loved One in college late last night. She thanked me for coaching her TOUGH, holding her accountable.
She credits her mental toughness as THE REASON she is thriving, compared to her teammates who can’t take the next level criticism.
As a Coach, that is the 🏆

To my fellow helicopter parents dropping off college hoopers:
➡️By Oct, they won’t answer calls. Don’t threaten to turn off the phone. They’re busy!
➡️ You are about to see YOU!
YOUR teachings will be on full display.
➡️If you don’t want to be lied to, DON’T ASK!

HS Hoopers,
The NCAA now allows D1 programs to have SIX assistant coaches?!
99.9% of you all will NOT make enough money playing hoop to live comfortably.
However, the OPPORTUNITY to make a good living coaching the game is much greater.
Will you be hirable?

Extremely proud of my squad.
The growth from March to now is remarkable.

Been saying something similar for years.
Parents of gbb players who can’t afford to play travel ball could go to the local gym & drop baby girl off to play vs dudes all day
Play vs old heads for IQ.
Play vs young jv dudes for athleticism.
Both will teach playing w/out the ball.

Any guy hooper that’s played vs real hoopers has gotten put in the rim before.
Any female hooper that’s played vs real hoopers has gotten shook, dropped, or turned around playing defense.
Real hoopers still jump, still guard.
All this “don’t jump” is some low self-esteem sh*t.

Similar to Larry Bird going to IU briefly before leading Indiana St to a ship game vs Magic.

Coaches often believe in players but not trust them.
Believing in what players will become but not trusting who they are now.
Many players never stick around to earn the trust….. only to end up in a similar situation later.

Always found it fascinating that we, sports parents, encourage/allow 18 year old kids to make decisions that will impact the rest of their lives.
I’ve known a handful of parents that ultimately had the final say on their kids’ college choice….can’t recall any that ended wrong.

HS hoopers,
If you do not sign in the spring, go to the military for 3 yrs, non-infantry position.
Work on your game the entire time.
Leave at 21-22 yrs old.
