If a coach is recruiting you, and you’re not interested- it is much preferred that you tell them you’re not interested vs ghosting or stringing them along. They’ll be okay

As a basketball culture we’re a little too worried about winning at a young age, and need to focus on increasing players desire to play the game & improving as a player. You could be winning middle school championships and not getting any better, or burning kids out early.

Something I started doing this year - every competitive drill must be sealed with a free throw. Whoever makes a play at the end of drill(on winning team) shoots a free throw to seal it. If they miss game is tied and we resume. Good pressure free throw reps, & models FTs win games

One thing I wish I knew as a player that I understand now as a coach: how much time coaches spend thinking about how to help their players succeed. When one of my guys isn’t getting it, it feels personal.

Good scrimmage tonight vs @SAUCougarsWBB lost by 9 - great experience for our team. 1) Juco girls can ball 2) Expect a strong showing from Spring Arbor this year under their new coach

Yesterdays practice started with every coach & player saying 2 things we’re thankful for, couldn’t repeat anything that was already said. When we got to the end the energy in the gym had improved significantly. Gratitude appears > worry disappears
