I looked at 50 20+ win teams at the NAIA level and broke down playing time by year.
FR - 10.2 MPG 3.6PPG
SO - 14.4 MPG 5.4PPG
JR - 17.4 MPG 6.5PPG
SR - 20.6 MPG 8.6PPG
I hope this helps provide reasonable expectations about playing time.

Shout out to all the small college coaches who are DOBO’s, recruiting coordinators, video coordinators, study hall directors, admissions counselors, professors, counselors, husbands, wives, fathers, and mothers. You are the real MVPs!
If you are a basketball coach and not a member of
@RisingCoaches
right now you are missing out.
You are separating yourself from the competition right now. Which way are you going?
My girlfriend, who is not a 🏀 junkie, excitedly asked me if we could watch The Last Dance. She surprisingly got sad when I told her that it comes out tomorrow. After sulking for 5 minutes while holding the FireStick remote she turns on Space Jam.
I’m keeping her.
How many coaches film their bench?
If you want to know the culture of a team watch their bench during games.
PLAYERS: You get a “bench warning” per game and many reminders before that. you should be exhausted from encouraging the guys you go to work with every day!

Any coaches looking for some summer work that will stimulate your coaching! check out
@PGCbasketball
they are hiring for summer positions. I promise you will have an unbelievable experience while learning more than you can possibly retain! If you have any questions let me know!
It makes me so happy that I can stay busy all day helping coaches with X’s and O’s, finding players, and hiring staff. This is how I know I’m in the right industry. With that said, I’m looking for a job. 😂
Excited and thankful for the opportunity. Definitely wouldn’t be here without the relationships that I have made so far. I am extremely blessed.
@BVUMBB
I could be wrong but I don’t often see an assistant getting love on the previous schools website when making a move like this. First class program, first class coach
@coachOBatSC
congrats
@Tim_Miser
Go out of your way to rebound for a player.
I’ve never had a player thank me for a scouting report. 🤷♂️ 💯
If you invest in your players they will pay you back with their energy, effort, and respect. None of these are a given just because they call us “coach”
Look in the background by the scorers table, those are former players who have come back to present senior gifts. Culture is not a buzz word at
@iueredwolvesmbb
. I’m very fortunate to have been a part of it!
I’m proud of my guys
@iueredwolvesmbb
who fell in the elite 8 today. 2 Elite 8’s and 2 Final Fours in 4 years. That’s the legacy these seniors have left!
I hope people understand and appreciate
@TweetsbyCoachP
for giving his time and energy (3.5 hrs) 😅 to help recruits.
Recruits. Coaches don’t try to fill rosters, they try to move the needle. What do you do BEST? That is what you need to sell.
Drop off duty this morning. The best gifts in my opinion are always the ones you either didn’t know you wanted or you didn’t ask for. This little is the best thing I never asked for. She makes me feel so full! 🥰
A lot of talk this weekend about:
Playing under control
Playing off of 2 feet
Grit, toughness, physicality
Not a lot of talk this weekend about:
Double drop triple crossovers
Inside hand finishes
BTL step backs
Being a dog and playing under control is a skill
Adversity was not in a short supply this year! I can’t express how proud I am of
@BVUMBB
. The guys came in to work every day without complaints genuinely trying to become better. If there was another week or 2 of games our presence would be felt by opposing teams. Thank you guys!
If you play 🏀 at any level I hope you are watching this USA game and listening to D-Wade talk about how to act as a teammate.
🇺🇸 Be a ⭐️ in your role
🇺🇸 Be ready if / when your # is called
🇺🇸 Find a way to contribute to a winning effort (on or off the court)
What am I missing?
I am white.
I am hurting with you.
I want change! I do not want to stay silent.
I have spoken to many coaches about these issues and a group of us have decided to come together along with our players to UNITE.
Coaches have so much love for their players
#CoachesStandforJustice
I hide reminders in my daily routine.
This coffee cup reminds me:
🐍 Tomorrow is not promised
🐍 Mamba Focus/Mentality
🐍 Kobe would have had an enormous impact if he was still here. What impact can I have?

If you want to get into college athletics. Become proficient and creative with photoshop.
Around the country there are many programs that need good reliable people to create content.
Media content will become a war very soon. Even at the small college ranks.
Qualities of a good coach.
@RussWillemsen
and
@coach_strine
are 2 of the best thieves I know! Can’t have a conversation with either of them without them wanting to steal something 😂
There’s a big misconception that game speed is full speed. Not all of your players know this, unless it’s discussed and worked on.
📝 Game speed is as fast as you can go while maintaining control.
@BballCoachMac
This happening is one thing.
Parents taping it is another.
It couldn’t have been one of the hecklers that posted it, right? This is insane. How could they think they’re in the right?
I was fortunate enough to work with a group from France looking for opportunities to play college ball in the states.
My biggest takeaways:
- We are fortunate beyond belief
- Our sense of entitlement is laughable
- Play hard not cool
Congrats to my guy
@B_Smoov_Yall
This guy absorbs every bit of coaching, he craves it and implements it. I truly enjoyed my time coaching this student of the game. Look out next year!
6 yr old - This place doesn’t make you wear a mask, why are we wearing ours?
Me- We wear our masks to show that we care about other people, because we might be sick and not know we are.
6yo - Ooooh. Ok!
When someone doesn’t know what they don’t know.
Then they get it. 🙌👏
🚨Looking to add to our staff!
- Fully involved with day to day Varsity operations, coaching, and recruiting.
- JV / Reserve Head Coach.
Great opportunity to get your hands on everything.

Anyone have people “big time” you while recruiting a player because apparently that player was above your level?
Anyone see that player go D1 and play 36 minutes in their career? 🙋♂️🤷♂️

Boring is the 🔑 to being Elite.
You earn the right to shoot and dribble in the off-season. Don’t use the 200 minutes you’re coach is allotted to work on things you should have been working on for 7-8 months.
I talk about this every day.
🩺When a coach is talking to a teammate.Get to where you can hear
🩺When you’re teammates are getting physical reps. Get mental reps. Stay 🔒 in
🩺Find the game situation in your drills. Don’t be a robot. Seek understanding.

Great players are learning every day. They don’t let any opportunity for new knowledge go by. During every workout, drill, film session or discussion, they find & process new information. Eventually, it comes back to give them that edge that others never get. Knowledge is power!
In my mind, X is a basketball platform.
So much good content here, with access to the people who create and/or understand it. A must for a basketball coach today.
Twitter is an amazing space to learn as a coach or player.
There are many coaches, analysts, reporters, commentators & basketball LOVERS who share great insight.
Never be afraid to shine light on someone else’s work.
Shining light on others doesn’t diminish your work.
Can we stop rewarding ball handlers hurling their body into the defense when they aren’t even trying to make a basketball play. The dumb head flip also. If you head flip, no matter if you get fouled or not, no foul will be called. Done. Easy. Play through contact!
@PaceSpaceAttack
1 might get a shot / 4 slip to front if rim
Baseline stagger for shooter
Americas play Screen the screener.
A lot of options for many guys depending on what you’re looking for.
Every encounter I’ve had with Taylen has been enjoyable. He brings a personality that any program would be lucky to have.

I’ve coached players at all levels. The best ones to work with are the ones who want to be the best they can be.
The ones who show up everyday and bring their best elicit my best regardless of their age or ability.
Took a look at
@OUAZMBB
win over Denver.
After the 1st 11 min the score was 16-16. OUAZ had a 2.8SV on 16 att 1PPS.
The final 9 min of the 1st half they scored 23 pts on 19 att 1.21PPS on a 3.9SV
Quality shots = efficient offense

A random stranger said”I see you” when he thought I was flirting with the person taking my order.He thought I was flirting because I asked for her name,used her name,and then thanked her for helping me.Since when is being nice flirting?Did I mention she gave me free avocado? 😉🥑
❗️High school seniors aspiring to play basketball at any 4 year level❗️ Unless you are a projected lottery pick, expect to play a limited role your freshman year. Don’t get caught up in the Zion’s of the world. Compete and do the little things. You will have a nice career!
Love the early Zip to the corner against the triggered strong side tag on the wing PnR.
Underrated scouting focus here for teams who use PnR as a staple.
🩺 Where is the tag coming from?
🩺 Have a Plan A - Deviate accordingly.
One of my favorite follows right now!
📝1v1 off PnR Lift
✅ Passer changes timing of passer
✅ Offense moves to create space
✅ Emphasis on O quick decision
✅ Emphasis on D, close out and stay in front
In order to progress, we have to be willing to be all in and learn from our mistakes!!

@toddlorensen
is acting a fool in sheer joy!
💡 Notice the spacing of the perimeter players. This allows you to:
➡️Step into shots and remain in 3 point territory
➡️Have a head of steam attacking a long close out
➡️Makes the defense cover more ground to Help&Recover
