Players control how they prepare and how they play in competition. Coaches control playing time.

There are a ton of coaching stories & coaching lessons (I made a few mistakes) in Don’t Mess With Happy. Also, I give some insight on my friends, Tom Izzo, John , Bill Self, Jay Wright, Scott Drew, Tom Crean and Bob Huggins. Then, how my career began under Danny Nee, Billy Hahn, Rick Barnes & Gary Williams. Finally, how Dean Smith, Bob Knight, Hubie Brown, Norm Stewart, Joe B. Hall & my little league coach influenced me.

Anything @EricFawcett_ puts out is well worth a coach's time...
Today, I'm launching a tool called The Painted Possession. For years of coaching and consulting work, coaches around the world have leaned on me for innovation, creativity, and perhaps most importantly--perspective. Finally, I'm putting all of these stories and strategies into one website where high-performing coaches can come to learn and gain an edge. There will be insights on international basketball, trends, culture, NIL, sports business, and everything I get asked about by coaches on a daily basis. Of course, there will also be a library of the best plays and X's and O's from around the world--the type of stuff you are probably already following me for. As you have seen me post much less--most work will be going to The Painted Possession. There will be regular posts multiple times a week, focused on the information you truly need without any filler. If you are hungry for information, you crave something new, and you want to be on the cutting edge of innovation while finding edges that will help you win games, come find your home at The Painted Possession. A link to a full introduction and how to subscribe will be in the first reply 👇👇👇

Coaches: @RazorbackMBB @CoachCalArk gave me this late-game play in my 1st year at @GoJaspers. We practiced it every day for two months. Told my team would only use it when we need a sure basket. It was the final play of the @MetroConfHoops championship. It worked! 1/2
