So many adults are removing the “fun” for kids in sports. 3rd graders being “ranked”. 5th graders feeling pressure to improve. Travel tournaments that has 4th graders. How about we teach them to love the game and how to play! See if they even like it!

2022-23 CBB Transfer Portal Stats As of today, of all the athletes that have committed to a new program, 1 out of 11 players who transferred this year went up in the portal, the rest have either transferred lateral or down. If rosters were finalized today, 44% of players who

Many think they want to be a coach. Until they get into the 60+ hour weeks. Doing team laundry at 2am, driving vans, going to scout & recruit, practices, games, managing a team & personalities, monitoring academics, & more….all while being told by every person in that stands,

Playing off of two feet is a basic skill that every single player playing the game should know how to do. Seeing high school players not knowing how to jump stop or reverse pivot is criminal especially for the ones who train with a “trainer” 3-4 days per week.

We heard from Ryan Nurenberg following his career night 🗣️

In 2040: If you watched the entirety of the Big 12 tournament on this court, you may be entitled to financial compensation.

Matt Grossenbach Wait until you find out what the other coaches on that list did to get players. LMAO

Buzz Williams has landed in Maryland and already retired the jerseys of the entire starting “Crab Five”
