John Calipari Shooting his Arkansas team straight. Somehow people donā€™t think he can coach. He is an elite connector with young talent ā€œIf youā€™re not a Grinder, youā€™re never going to max outā€

Just a random thought - A lot of players are more concerned with being able to dunk instead of being able to shoot and thatā€™s where problems lieā€¦

Want to be a better shooter.. Practice your game speed shots OFTEN! Want to be a better ball handler.. Dribble til your arms fall off in various ways, speeds, directions, & with a defender Want 2 B stronger? Lift/exercise Want to improve IQ.. Study the game/film Moral? Work!

The amount of people on here claiming mid range jumpers are bad shots is criminal! Show me a coach that teaches this and Iā€™ll show you an unsuccessful coach!

Itā€™s also vice versa! Going below D1 doesnā€™t mean you wonā€™t be playing in front of a packed house either! Over 30 D2 schools averaged well over 1000 people per game! Over 30 D3 teams averaged over 600 people per game!

Ok so I guess itā€™s been deemed that specific shots are ā€œbad shotsā€ because of a .02% shooting percentage difference! What are we doing? This is exactly what people mean when they are saying analytics ruin the game!

For ever LeBron made there are 100s of Jrue Holidays! Understand that not everyone has the ability to be a superstar! But you can all be a star in your role! Find your niche and master the hell out of it!

This right here is everything wrong with youth sports! This mentality is childish! Because he didnā€™t play he should turn down his next opportunity? They won the game! People today donā€™t understand how to fight adversity! They just give up! Complete lack of competitiveness!

I say this with the utmost sincerity and directnessā€¦.. If youā€™re an adult that has to tear down another kid in an attempt to make your kid look betterā€¦..you are trash! Have a good day.

The narrative the world has caught up to šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡ø is insaneā€¦ The depth of the US teams are far superior to the rest of the field! Most teams have maybe 1 or 2 NBA players, meanwhile there are 15 NBA All Stars on the roster!

AAU programs biggest recruiting pitch is the testimonies of other families. Thatā€™s why no matter how much of a business this is, it can never be bigger than the people. Treat people right, establish and maintain a strong culture and everything else is a breeze.
