4 years of showing up everyday to practice. 4 years of making his team better. Teams that win big games win those games because of guys like this. Everyone can’t be the leading scorer but everyone that is fortunate enough to be on a team can be a great teammate. #WinInTheDark

Treating anything but D1 as a fall back option is a sign of ignorance, arrogance & entitlement. D2,D3,JUCO & NAIA are loaded with great Coaches, environments and talent. An offer means you’re wanted & they believe you can play. Be grateful & respectful. #AdviceForJuly

Shot Clocks (1) reward defense (2) require Coaches to teach skill not just schemes (3) keep games from being keep a way and FT contests (4) allow more strategies (5) the rest of the world uses it It’s time for HS Basketball to change.

Let’s be honest, 2/3s of the College Coaches in the country wouldn’t recruit the back court for Loyola Chicago because they can’t “play at our level”. You’re correct, they play at a Final 4 level.

Dear Dad, It’s not your job to get a 10 year old in shape. It’s your job to make them fall in love with ⚾️ 🏀 🏈. Don’t ruin their experience by conditioning at the end of practice just because you did it in your practice 20 years ago. Make sports fun. #Truth

HS Coaches, we have to do a better job strengthening our relationship with D2 Coaches. All the swing and misses by D1 schools might look bad on them but it’s killing the HS kid with D2 abilities. We’ve got to make our kids more recruitable over a transfer Great Coaches in D2!

Coaches, early in the season have someone take a picture of your huddle during a dead ball. You’ll see who is all in and who is all about themselves. Try to film across from your bench. Watch reactions. Get the right people in the right seats on the bus & the wrong people off

I despise watching players that think they are too good or too cool to play hard. We’ve got too many Big Ballers and not enough MambaMentality or The Answer. Great Players have some DAWG in them. This game was great before you and will be great when you’re gone.

Parents, if your child still has recess and a bed time they don’t need “better competition and exposure.” They need to have fun and learn to love the game. Drop your egos and let kids be kids.

Players, don’t try to impress your Coach by showing what you can do. Impress them by what you don’t do. Don’t: Be a headache in class Be late Complain Make excuses Turn the ball over Make selfish decisions Be out of position on Defense Take bad shots

So @NFHS_Org doesn’t want players rolling shorts Well guess what? A lot of Coaches want a shot clock If schools can’t afford a shot clock, I’m guessing the same schools can’t spend $5k a year on new uniforms either. It’s a ball game, not a fashion show Make rules that matter

Parents, if your Child didn’t get a D1 offer they aren’t D1-regardless of the opinion of their summer coach or some local rec league “legend” Don’t Pass on a FREE education at the NAIA/D2/JUCO level because of pride & bad advice.

“If the only way to get a player to be in the gym is to take them to a college campus for team camp games, you don’t have a player, you’ve got a tourist.” “If you only work on your game when the Coach calls practice you’re not a player, you’re a participant.” Wisdom from Tates

In times of discouragement remember this: For 120 years Noah had to explain a flood to people who had never seen rain before. Moral of the story: Do what you’re suppose to do regardless if the people around you understand or not. It’s your journey; no one else’s.

If you don’t catch and shoot, please don’t catch, rationalize and then shoot. Shooting is about Rhythm & Reason, not a Reaction Rhythm is the work you’ve put in to be a shot maker. Reason is why you’re open. Either your offense gets you open or their defense wants you open.
