Non-coaching friends ask me what I write when evaluating. Some notes from today: 🔹handing the basketball to official (instead of dropping or rolling) 🔹sprinting in/out when subbing into the game (instead of walking) 🔹high fives and bench eruptions #JulyRecruiting

Was asked for photos from treatment. Get emotional looking at these. This is one of many reasons why: 1. I know prayer changes things. 2. I know if He did it once He’ll do it again. 3. You’ll never catch me not giving God all the glory. #TGBTG

The separator between elite and good players is conditioning per HOF Coach, Bob Huggins: Elite players go as hard as they can for five minutes and take one minute to recover. Good players go as hard as they can for three minutes and take three minutes to recover.

1 thing I’ve come to understand (after losing my college HC unexpectedly): The beauty of the assistant coach experience is “getting your flowers” from players in real time. Head coaches get their flowers years after a player graduates and understands why you loved her/him tough.
