Happy to announce that I have accepted the Head Coaching job at Oldsmar Christian. My alma mater and a program I once built. Thankful to be back coaching a game I ❤️ and mentoring young men. My passion for this game has never been stronger. Let the journey begin

Story on
@RyanPannone
!
He would clip up video of our HS players and put them on CDs to hand out at the Final 4. We saved every $ for a flight and sleep on other coaches floors/couches in hopes to network.
He is coaching Alabama in the Final 4. Inspiration. Hard work wins 💯
Women’s Basketball Final 4 in Tampa Next week. Any male or female womens basketball coaches want to hoop and set up an open run? My gym is your gym 🤷🏼♂️👀
Coaches, HOLD YOUR KIDS ACCOUNTABLE. 🗣🗣
-Playing HARD❗️
-Communicating❗️
-BEING ON TIME ❗️
I am a FIRM believer that players haven’t changed.... Coaches have💯 The Lack of accountability I see and hear about is 100% NOT acceptable at the next level.
PSA❗️ If you are a media outlet that represents a State or an area... PLEASE do not be picky and choosy on which kids and programs you support. It’s about the kids and their success. Be in it for the RIGHT reason. 🙏🏼💯🤦🏼♂️
I would love to do a Zoom Chat with High School Coaches or up and coming coaches only.
-Challenges of building a program
-Developing your players
-Recruiting process for our players
-Shot clock
-Organization of practice
-Moving up
DM if interested and we can get it set up! 👍
Pictures say 1,000 words. So proud of
@1JustinJames
and what he has accomplished. Blessed to have been apart of the journey and even more excited for his future 🙏🏼

If Ja Morant doesn’t inspire some of you high school and college kids to get in the gym... Then there is 0 hope for you 🤷🏼♂️ Kid is a PRODUCT of work clearly 💯
To play College Basketball you have to really LOVE the game
You can’t like it...If you just like it you will fail. It is an all out grind at the next level. A burning passion is required🔥💯
No one likes to coach or invest the amount coaches do into guys that don’t LOVE it
I have nothing but the UTMOST Respect for Scouts and Scouting services (very hard job) but there are A TON of kids not being recruited that are JUST AS GOOD as kids being recruited. Keep being dilligent young fellas/ladies its coming 👀💯
🔥PLAYING TIME
🌟YOU get what YOU EARN. The BEST players PLAY.
🌟Go play better than the guy in front of you and PRODUCE and it is GUARANTEED the coach will play you.
🌟Do your JOB as a player because the coach will always do his job to try and WIN 💯
SCREENING is a lost art. It creates scoring opportunities for yourself and YOUR TEAMMATES.
-down screens, cross screens, back screens
-Screening creates movement and spacing
-Eyes up on catch prepared to shoot
We are excited to announce that
@RyanPannone

I have no clue whos playing on
@PHSElite
travel ball team. I honestly dont care. HS season is not the appropriate time to make announcements. We’re not that important. Just FYI don’t piss off your HS Coach. Tread waters lightly, he has more credibility than you think.
One thing Ive noticed watching College basketball the last 2 days.
There is not enough emphasis on active hands on the ball to defer passes and get deflections.
Guys are too comfortable seeing over defenses and making the next pass.
#foodforthought
Contrary to any and ALL beliefs, I FIRMLY believe in doing things properly. I hold my players accountable on the court and classroom, I try to mentor them into right decisions, and I want them to be their best💯 If you dont want to be your best I am the wrong guy to be around❗️🔑
Zoom Chat Week 3 in the 📚!
Greatly appreciate
@UNFBBALL
@Topp33
for dropping GOLD on us today!
Love and appreciate the coaches that viewed for having a desire to get better. 125+ Coaches the last 3 weeks.
Stay tuned for Week 4! 🏀🔥🙏🏼
A HS Coach recently make a Negative comment to me about the level of school 1 of my players signed a FULL scholarship too
This caught me by surprise. Shouldn’t we as coaches be celebrating the kids success? Not using it as a negative to recruit other kids?
Proud of my guys 💯
Myself and
@GreenLightViews
have teamed up and created the best open basketball runs in the Tampa Bay Area for College and Professional players. Love the environment thats being created 🙏🏼❗️
The “BALL FAKE” is one of the most UNDER USED fundamental used in the high school 🏀 game!
Fake a pass to make a pass is a 5th GRADE teaching and must be preached at all levels.
The ball fake creates: Driving lanes, Shifts the defenses to create passing angles!
Prayers up to Kobe Bryant and all his loved ones. RIP Kobe and Gianna.
Thank you for all the joy you brought to everyone around you and all you did for this beautiful game.
Hug your loved ones extra tight tonight. Appreciate everyday and take nothing for granted. 🙏🏼🙏🏼

First 💯 coaches to DM! Film and scouting are essential to game success!
What I love about Recruiting these days is that it Takes other schools to Offer and Recruit for Schools to want to get involved.
What happened to evaluating 🤔 and being able to Identify talent 🤷🏼♂️
5 guys in double figures. 🙏🏼💯 Basketball is so much more fun when:
1. The game is played properly
2. Coaching guys that respect the game
3. Play for US instead of YOU

@OCSHoops
The recruitment of 2021 HS Kids is a travesty‼️
Tough to watch such talented kids get overlooked and undervalued.
Unfortunately a lot of college coaches are going to hinder relationships based on the handling of situations.
2021 Class keep working. Head up. Hard work pays off
TODAY!
Really excited to host a weekly High School Coaches Zoom chat!
Topic: Player Development at the HS Level
-Skill Development from a HS Coaches perspective

If you do not LOVE Mondays... You need to surround yourself with different folks.
Monday sets the tone for the week. New goals, New challenges.
Lock in 💯❤️
“Very few people wake up and get excited about HARD WORK. Be addicted to it and strive to be comfortable working HARD not when you feel like it but daily.” ✍🏼💯👀💪🏼
I appreciate the opportunity to work with Professional Athletes. Have been blessed to prepare these two for their new opportunities overseas in the Top Division in Serbia and 2nd Division Spain.
