Be patient. Building a winning basketball program takes time! Find the positives in your progress

Anyone can start strong. Few can finish strong. Thatโ€™s competitive stamina.

โ€œNever be afraid to failโ€ฆโ€ โ€” Jalen Brunson The fear of failure holds more athletes back than failure itself. You earn confidence through the work you do when nobody is watching. Life is short...

We always make it fun

One thing I believe: โ€œA good coach can coach anything.โ€ Someone who really gets it and has pure coaching talent could step in and do a pretty good job coaching a sport they may know little about.

Success isnโ€™t something that happens to you, itโ€™s something you pursue daily.

A great team isn't built on talent alone. It's built in the moments when no one is looking: - Getting extra reps after practice. - Picking up a struggling teammate. - Committing to defense like it's personal.

This is a tough one. At larger schools where most players are basketball-first athletes, I think itโ€™s often a culture issue. At smaller schools, where athletes play multiple sports and those sports also have summer commitments, itโ€™s not always fair to label it as โ€œbad culture.โ€ Athletic departments should probably be tracking overall athlete participation. Are kids showing up to something? If athletes arenโ€™t showing up to anything, thatโ€™s an overall athletics culture issue or the AD might see there may be a cultural issue with a given sport. If players are willingly missing for the beach, hanging out, or doing something else instead of competing or training, thatโ€™s a different story and culture certainky could be the issue. Family vacations and unavoidable conflicts are one thing. Choosing not to participate at all is another.

SHOOTING is one of the most valuable skills in basketball. Invest time in SHOOTING.

Coaching is not about being liked every day. Itโ€™s about helping young people become the best version of themselves. The standards that challenge them today are often the lessons they appreciate years from now. #ChampionshipMentality

Entitlement is a culture killer. โ€œAs long as you don't have entitlement in your program, you got a shot.โ€ - Kirby Smart ๐Ÿฅ‡ Hunger builds teams. Entitlement destroys them.
