🏀 Providence head coach @Englishscope24 shares a few principles within his transition offense that allows his players to make reads off the defensive coverages to make plays in space. 💻 Watch the full video on Coaching U 🔗 coachingulive.com/superclini…

John Calipari was asked, "What is your coaching philosophy in its simplest terms?" The answer was TWO principles about people. John may now be the head coach at Arkansas, but his philosophy hasn't changed in over 35 years since coaching at UMass. He said, "If you care about your people, you always have a job. If they know you're about them, and you truly care and are about their growth, you always have a job." His first principle is making sure that people know you care. • It means investing the time. • It means building the relationships. • It means working to grow and develop people. Then he said, "The best piece of advice I had was in 1989 by a guy named Pat Nardelli, a supporter of our high school basketball team. When I got the UMass job, he told me, 'Remember this, Cal: you can have a bad deal with good people because stuff happens, but you can never have a good deal with bad people. It doesn't work.'" His second principle is working with great people. It means surround yourself with the right people. • Ask if they are good people with good hearts? • Ask if they bring energy or take energy? • Ask if they are good teammates? The essence of his philosophy is pretty simple: care about your people and choose to work with good individuals. "Institutions serve people, not the other way around.  So as a servant-leader, I measure my success by the success of those whom I’m serving." - John Calipari - - - Follow @coachajkings for more posts like this!

"There is no coach that's successful that doesn't push his players hard. No one works as hard as they can all the time. It's not human nature. Winning the games is the fun part, but you don't get there unless you go through the hard work part." @therealboeheim

Well deserved my man!

Good stuff!

Congrats @Quis10x

Congrats @jr_tangishaka

The culture is through the roof....does not matter if it is a summer workout with nobody on campus or a pre-game workout in the Sweet Sixteen.....that is what the staff and players sound like everytime they take the court. It is demanded daily by Coach Hurley.

Love it! Great stuff
