So many emails sent to coaches and athletic directors in and around Austin and the wider areas without very little response. The reality of a coaching job search is as always….its not what you know, its who. 🔎 🔦 #AustinTx #BasketballCoaching I’ll make a staff one day 🏀

A coach at one of Belgium’s top U16 teams counted 29 games in a season. I checked our calendar from my time coaching Valencia Basket U16: 69. Same age. Twice the experience. How much of “tournament mentality” is tournament experience? (1/2)

It would be awesome if @SynergySST could ID a players shooting hand. Not just the directional intent metric.

The word ‘elite’ is becoming so overused in sport. This drill is elite. This set is elite. This 10-year-old is elite. Sometimes a drill is just good, a set is effective, and a young player shows potential. When everything is elite, nothing is.

Expand the CL to 64. Every UEFA league champ gets in. Then let it filter. 64 → 16 groups of 4 → 32 32 → 16 → 8 → 4 → 2 → 🏆 2-leg KO, one final 15 games to win it Spare spots = coefficient Europa 2nd. Conference 3rd. Cup Winners’ Cup 4th. No parachutes. Out yer out.

This is only worthwhile if there are forward thinking, progressive leaders and coaches in the room. Otherwise it’ll just be about self-interest….
The Scottish FA is to hold a "critically important" summit around the future of the national game. An email has been sent to all Scottish Professional Football League clubs to attend the forum, which will take place in St Andrews on 4 September. #BBCFootball

Infantino will get binned, but let’s not escape the fact he and FIFA robbed fans blind this summer. Total reform required.

Just wait until Celtic announce Infantino as the new Chairman. 🙄

Imagine Celtic were a well oiled machine, they’d already be speaking to Eddie Howe.

This.
#fifa ffe or rather more like Ffs This is something that should cause concern … Sport at its centre is one of the last bastions of authenticity . You sell aspects to commercial/ investment partners and the sport itself will change. Why is an NFP ( not for profit ) organisation selling its revenues for upfront payments? This isn’t possibly just a Disneyfication of sport it’s potentially ripping the soul from it . Nuance and context is everything but the opacity of this organisation is troubling .

Cool….so what are you doing about it?

Don’t be surprised when the SFA back Infantino’s plans….football needs a revolution.
