In college, the relationship you have with the cafeteria staff might be the most important and one of the most undervalued connections you will ever make in your college career. Trust me on that. Am I wrong? Lol

If I could give 1 peice of advice to a young D3 assistant - Go coach travel b-ball in the spring/summer. Be a head coach for a young team, assist with the older teams. Take advantage to grow in the “fire” of real game action. Your not that busy, your boss should support it.

A 4-year-old asks up to 400 questions a day, but by age 44 we ask fewer than 6. A leader must be mindful to avoid arrogance in their wisdom while remaining humble enough to say "I don't know.” Most of us would rather follow the leader who asks, rather than the one who tells.

College players sometimes have to realize with respect to playing time, it’s not always so much about “what you need to work on” but rather “you just have to show up and consistently out-play your teammates in practice and games.” That’s as simple as it gets for PT.

I want to offer my time to any young coach who needs some advice/mentorship or an ear to listen. I've been blessed with amazing mentors/experiences and would be doing a disservice to the game not reaching back. Don't hesitate to reach out. Anytime.

The idea of being a “college coach” sounds great to a lot of people but the reality of the sacrifice it often takes to “make it” is usually two very different things. Every “college coach” should be required to start their career in these type of roles. How bad do U want it?

Ask the coaches that are recruiting you - How will they leverage their professional and personal relationships to assist you in your career post college. Who’s willing to work for YOU off the floor. You can tell quickly if this is in the DNA of their program. #foodforthought

Hoop Trainers - Why so much on ball training? 99% of players HS/College will be off the ball 99% of games. Only 1-2 “end of clock” players on a roster. Why not work spacing into rhythm J/spacing into attacking a bad D closeout. Transition sprint into same. Stuff that translates.

I don’t have it all figured out BUT one thing I do know, biggest benefit you can do for your kids on offense is teach them how to play without plays, the “grey area”. Knowing how to move based on what the ball does (passed or bounced). Games are won in the “grey area”!

We were struggling in first half with an offensive concept from other team, player makes a suggestion at halftime and we run with it. Boom, only give up 16pts in second half! Trust your players! #PurpleReign

Our team lives in the gym outside of practice, something that is becoming part of “who we are”. Not forced, not mandated, not pressured. Silent work. #PurpleReign
