The schools that restrict gym access to athletes will then fire coaches for not winning and say "we need a better coach"

We keep hearing about how good @ClarkKihei is looking at Virginia. After London Perrantes did his thing at UVA, and Clark doing his thing now, we wonder who is going to be the next PG to leave the LA area for the Cavaliers.

Southern California is recognizing that today is Kayla Khouzam’s birthday. Daughter of @walnut_bball HC Joe Khouzam. The family lost her on Christmas Eve. Joe—we are thinking about you today and everyday.

It's weak when a kid gets an offer from a college and then every school in the league offers the kid after...like they needed someone else to offer the kid in order to validate the player's abilities.

“Winners know why they win and losers don’t know why they lose.” Mick Cronin’s words are honest and necessary for everyone trying to be successful.
“You’ve got to be willing to do the uncomfortable things that go into winning. If all you’re worried about is getting 12 points, regardless of the outcome for our team, it’s going to continue.”
Coach Cronin, on his message to the team after Saturday’s game

Every coach need his first head coaching job somewhere. Never understood the whole "need someone with HC experience" as a blanket policy. Yes, there are times it makes sense; but every coach needed that first opportunity.

Great inbound play from @CoachDKerns and Presbyterian basketball at an important time of the game. The masking actions set up the weak side end action.

Everyone that’s looking for some zone offense 👇🏽
Let's check out some NBA zone offense and defense.
Great play, but why did it work? And what should the 2-3 zone have done?
Here are some more NBA zone offensive concepts used this season so far piped.video/watch?v=_iEzXW67…

Said by another HS coach last night: "year after year, the best coach nobody talks about is El Camino Real HC Joe Wyatt. Talent or no talent he does a great job every year."

Takeaway from last night: Fairfax has different players step up every night. Sometimes it's Ethan Anderson, sometimes it's Robert McRae, Ronald Mitchell, Daylen Williams, or Keith Dinwiddie; and they all cheer each other on and support one another.

Today a DI asst gave us a serious reflection regarding recruiting: every kid is going to have issues. Every kid is going to have problems. I understand that. But your issues and your problems can't be bigger than your game.

Jamal Hartwell's performance in the 2nd half of the #CollisionGame last night reaffirmed our wonder as to why he didn't have more offers from local schools.
Doesn't matter...@MasonMBB is getting a great one and he's getting a great scholarship.

If you're getting recruited and the college coach mentions redshirting, it's not a punishment. That coach is saying, we'll pay for an extra year, knowing that you'll be that much better Year 5 than Year 1.
That's an investment.
