To have a great basketball team, every player must give up personal glory and accept their role on the team.

I’ve had college coaches ask me about players commitment level — and they specifically asked “Is he the type to miss tournaments for prom?”.
Just something to think about.
Your family might not understand if they aren’t sports ppl.
But this is a cutthroat business.

Individuals get better before and after practice.
Teams get better during practice.

AAU programs biggest recruiting pitch is the testimonies of other families. That’s why no matter how much of a business this is, it can never be bigger than the people. Treat people right, establish and maintain a strong culture and everything else is a breeze.

I say this with the utmost sincerity and directness…..
If you’re an adult that has to tear down another kid in an attempt to make your kid look better…..you are trash!
Have a good day.

This is really good stuff. Never sacrifice your culture for talent

Just a random thought - A lot of players are more concerned with being able to dunk instead of being able to shoot and that’s where problems lie…

John Calipari Shooting his Arkansas team straight. Somehow people don’t think he can coach. He is an elite connector with young talent

A coach's most IMPORTANT JOBS:
1. Culture creation
2. Culture Maintenance
Your culture is only as strong as what you tolerate.
Before you can build VALUE you have to have TRUST. Players don't care about your resume as much as they care about how much you care about them, separate from their performance on the floor.

Getting to the free throw line is crucial. Helps sustain rhythm and confidence throughout the game.
All great scorers get to the line at least 6-8 times per game.

The best point guards look for mismatches and know which plays will put their teammate in the best position to score.

Friendly reminder that Derrick White went to a D2 outta high school.
Now he’s sitting on the set of the postgame interview of Game 2 of the @NBA Finals after scoring 18 and playing unbelievable defense on Kyrie all game!
Levels don’t define you! YOU control your journey!
