Coaching isn't about drawing up plays or managing substitutions. It's about shaping young men and women into better people. Wins fade. Stats disappear. But the lessons they take into life? That's the real legacy of a coach.

Shot hierarchy by player isn't a double standard. It's an accurate standard. Every player isn't the same. Don't coach them like they are.

Zone defense is a crutch. Man-to-man teaches the game. Fight me. 🏀

St. Rita finally has its baseball state championship. The Mustangs won the wildest title game in state history today. “The only thing I can compare [this game] to is the Cubs’ Game 7 of the World Series [in 2016]" - St. Rita senior Colin Quinn. chicago.suntimes.com/high-sc…

On this date in 1966, the longest UNINTERRUPTED professional baseball game was played between the Class A Florida State League's Miami Marlins and St. Petersburg Cardinals, managed by Hall of Famer Sparky Anderson. The game lasted 6 hours and 59 minutes and wasn't decided until the 29th inning! The Marlins finally broke the tie and won 4-3 after neither team scored for 17 consecutive innings ⚾️

Basketball is still played between the ears. Too much obsession over height and measurables. They matter, but feel, IQ, timing, and decision-making matter too. Some people just know how to play. Brunson is proof.

Brunson is one of the toughest basketball players that I’ve ever seen. Through knee injuries .. ankles.. he’s still seeking contact every play no matter if he has the ball or not

St. Rita coach John Nee: "Not one guy on this team made it about them ever. It was always about us. It was about sacrificing for the better of our team. When you get 30-plus guys pulling the rope in the same direction, you can do special things.” chicago.suntimes.com/high-sc…
