"I don't know if there is a better leader in college basketball than Jeremy Fears, and Michigan State might have the highest floor of anyone in the country. They are so tough and physical." - @RobDauster

Penny Hardaway on the importance of two big wins after some offseason noise surrounding Memphis: “Last year was an anomaly… my teams don’t play like that. I’ve done great in the past 7 years of winning 20+ games with a schedule just like this, so it’s not my first time winning… We’ve always won. Last year was the one year that we didn’t.”

University of Houston coach Kelvin Sampson on redshirt freshman guard Bryce Jackson: "His awareness is getting better by the day. And the more minutes he plays, the better he's going to get. But I don't know how many minutes are available with this group right now. . .
"There's two or three guys that have really improved a lot since the middle of October. And Bryce is one of them. He's getting better. Corey (Hadnot II), Braden (East), a lot of these guys are improving at a good rate. . .
"I remember watching him play (in high school) against a bunch of these high-dollar kids in Kansas City. And the best player on the floor was Bryce. Then shortly after that, he had the catastrophic injury. . . Bryce is such an easy kid to love. He's just a wonderful young man.
"I always encourage those kids, 'Don't be in a hurry to get somewhere where you're going to spend the rest of your life.' Bryce is going to be a four-year guy here. A five-year guy actually. And his last two years, he's going to be really good."

Rick Pitino once spoke about the concept of a “one-day contract.” Every day, he approaches his craft as if he has to earn his place all over again. His work ethic, discipline, and motivation are remarkable. He also uses the example of two-star recruit Russ Smith to show that talent alone doesn’t define a player. Opportunity, relentless effort, and the willingness to prove yourself can make all the difference.

As a coach…If you want to feel better, Blame others on your staff. If you want to get better, Blame yourself!!

The NBA today will spend $2–5M evaluating talent early to avoid a $50–60M mistake later. Guards 6’4” and under are plentiful and REPLACEABLE every single year. Size buys patience; scoring gets attention. ADAPTABILITY, PROFESSIONALISM and IMPACTING WINNING sustain careers.

Todd Golden on eligibility chaos is worth your time ⬇️
"The NCAA has spent millions of dollars promoting the PCSA. But if that were to pass, the class of '22 athletes would be eligible."
"At this point, the NCAA is arguing that they're trying to prevent chaos, but they're really causing it."
