This guy is the biggest reason I chose to coach basketball. My 1st coach/still one of my biggest fans. His work ethic/passion for the game has influenced always! At 86, still sees the game better than I could ever do it.
Love you Dad! ❤️🏀

Attention younger coaches. My coaching style changed for the better, when I became a parent. I realized that I needed to coach our athletes the way I would want my own children to be coached. Big difference seeing them through that lenses. ❤️

Coaching to me is like assembling a puzzle with many pieces. Some of the pieces that don’t seem to fit, have been bent, etc. or damaged due to circumstances outside our control. Adding to the difficulty. Don’t give up! Putting together a puzzle (team) takes patience/time. 🏀

Nobody said it would be easy. Nobody promised success even when you do the right things the right way and others do not and seemingly succeed. Nobody said there would not be obstacles. Yet pursuing excellence requires that you keep fighting! Don’t quit!

Anger management one key to effective coaching. Many regrets due to coaching angry. Important to coach with self and emotional control.

Coaches have a responsibility to teach all players how to respect the game! How to act, talk, respond, not just play. Actions mirror character. Hold players accountable when they fail, praise when it’s right, but make sure you teach them what acting right looks like! 🏀

Coaches be careful that the pursuit of coaching greatness/acclaim does not become your purpose. That road can lead to a loss of character/identity. Wins/losses/recognition are imposters. Live a greater “why”!

So often in close 🏀 games the focus is on the final few possessions. Made/missed FT’s, FG’s, TO’s, Rebounds, late, are most remembered, but those same plays in the early part are equally important to the final outcome. Every possession matters.
