Super pumped!
HS Basketball in our state got better yesterday. Coaches will have to grow, learn and adapt. Players skill will have to improve. There will be a learning curve but the game will be better for it.

🧵Every year the playoffs remind me how much easier life would be on all #TXHSBB 🏀 coaches if we did 1 of 2 things ⬇️
1. 📊Mandate @MaxPreps Stat entry, *OR*
2. 🎥Get @SynergySST: an open-source platform where all film is accessible to all (price negotiable)
👇🧵Here’s why

Couldn’t be more true of statements from @CoachCBlakeley in this thread
“Hudl Film Exchanges 🤦🏻♂️ So unnecessary. Takes time, some never send the games. Unnecessary Hudl assist work.”
“No more hiding. Everyone has access to what you do & how you do it, statistically speaking. Even playing field. Make decisions with the same information everyone has.”

This is the BEST way to coach in my opinion. I have had my AD question me, friends question me, and parent question me. You build ownership and you build accountability by coaching this way. Plus.....no one wants to hear the head coach talk all the time...not even the head coach.

At High Point, Flynn Clayman runs his staff differently.
Instead of assistants doing a little bit of everything, he assigns coordinators:
One owns offense.
One owns defense.
One owns special teams.
Not traditional. But intentional.
Because when everyone is responsible for everything… no one truly grows.
Clayman learned this from his mentors. When he was trusted to run the offense, it accelerated his development. So now, he does the same for his staff.
Yes, you give up some control.
But you gain clarity, ownership, and better coaching.
Assistants aren’t just helping anymore.
They’re leading.
And when coaches grow, the team grows.
Build a staff where people can specialize, own their role, and thrive, not just survive.
Are you asking your people to do everything… or putting them in positions to be great at something?
