If you are wanting to play a certain position in college, think about who you can defend. Lateral quickness/ability to keep someone in front of you—will likely determine what your position/role will be—not your shooting range on offense. 🐧🏀

In my 19 years of coaching college basketball, this July period is bittersweet. Excited to get back out and watch hoopers after the long hiatus, but leaving today on my 2nd born’s 1st bday and driving home next Monday on my 1st born’s 7th birthday is gut wrenching.
