So special to have the opportunity to share the game you love….with the people you love.

Interior scorers add game value, in conjunction, w/ 3 point shooting emphasis. Often, if 3 point shots aren't going in, paint points move the scoreboard. Old school basket makers steady the offense and create unity.

Emphasis for us always has to be “INSIDE-out” mentality. Drives…paint touches…kick out 3s infinitely better than perimeter pass 3s. Balance. If you live by the 3, during playoff run/stretch that is single game elimination, good chance (esp. on college court),you’ll die by the 3

What a privilege HS sports is…the opportunity to compete with your childhood friends, wearing the jersey of your town. If you knew you were going to win it all, it wouldn’t be fun or worthwhile. It’s the chase, the uncertainty, and ultimately…the journey that makes it special.

How cool to watch the draft and see Vj💫 of LuHi Basketball get drafted 3rd overall Throwback to when our guy Matthew Garside was Newsday Sports Suffolk POY alongside VJ as LI POY He didn’t get drafted third, but Garside did have THREE buzzer beaters for Union College Men's Basketball 👑 🏀

The greatest success isn’t found in shortcuts or quick wins. It’s found in the craft. Years ago, a real carpenter showed up at my house during the Great Recession. I expected to hear how hard things were… but instead, he smiled and said, “I’m busier than ever.” Why? Because

Gifted game scorers fast track team growth by valuing playing, w/out the ball. Moving talents recognize 1) cutting 2) screening 3) open court running creates chemistry. Linking basket makers respect unit collaboration.

Committed, help game defenders don't arm wave, at the ball as the dribbler penetrates. Ball stopping is initiated by 1) body positioning 2) angling feet 3) chest squaring 4) hand flicking 5) path denying, D foundational support!

Adversity is your partner in growth.

Resilient game units are talented and strong minded. Persistent teams 1) ball share 2) willingly screen 3) late contest execute 4) help defend 5) gang rebound 6) loose ball compete. Group toughness and fundamentals!

Mindful head coaches, during game timeouts, have precious seconds, to explain, clearly, new adjustments or continual strategies. Poised communicators speak, w/ 1) clarity 2) confidence 3) listenable voice tones.

I’m a basketball coach but a sports fan. It’s the best…can’t script it. Watching “We Are New Castle United” Homegrown Sean Longstaff hadn’t scored in 4 years in home stadium. In biggest game the team played in decades…he scores 2 in a 2-1 win to send the team to Wembley.

Your job as a Head Coach is to get the program to it's ceiling. The ceiling is different at each place. This can be a very difficult concept for parents, players, coaches, and administration to understand. Work to get your program to it's individual ceiling.

One pattern I’ve noticed in all dysfunctional teams: They want success without the sacrifice. Dan Lanning said, "You know to accomplish a goal, it has to be valuable what you're willing to give up." The 4 things they couldn't sacrifice:🧵 1. They couldn't sacrifice ego for

I really like this one!

“Opening the gym” is a sacred ritual for basketball coaches… Early in the morning. Late at night. The quiet. The calm before the storm. Just you and the court. It never feels like a chore. Feels like home.
