Yeh because America's youth needs more cuddling. Tom Izzo is not Bobby Knight and the strength of his relationships with his players is as strong as any.

Good news to close out 2020. The man I pulled out of the bay last night lived. Was a bit worried he died of hypothermia it took me all of 15 minutes to get him untangled from the prop of a boat and the water was 🥶🥶🥶🥶

D3 coaches be grateful.
Was on beach w close d1 coaching friend. Up walks a recently retired iconic coach to say hello. In conversation he said that he and Coach Pop wld have arguments w rest of Team USA staff that being a D3 coach was the best level in basketball to coach. Wow

5 or 6 years ago we won 13 games in last minute of play and went on to win the league.Your margin of error could be one more box out, 1 more great D transition, 1 more unselfish poss,1 great poss of communication. Winning and losing is often separated by fundamentals not talent.

The guys that spend the most time in the gym become guys you have trouble keeping off the floor. bball rewards workers and so does life. How u work as an athlete gives a good indication about your futures. The beauty of sports and really a indication of what lies ahead for others

Our country is a bad athletic team.
We're not connected, it's never my fault, we have bad habits, lack discipline, we talk the talk but don't walk the walk, it's not we before me, we don't love one another, we are not fundamentally sound, we're not coachable,we lack leadership

When I chased these guys their senior years I knew they'd be good but can't say I knew they'd be this stinking good. What a class!

This is great. The guys that don't play as much have no idea how important they are, it is our job as coaches to try and build them up to this by in. It is also their job to be as great as they can be no matter the role.
Read the lips of the player coming off the bench. “Right now! We’re doing this!” Duke was down 23 points and came back to win. But everyone on the team wanted to win. They had the same objective regardless of playing time. Be this player for your team!

I can't believe how many D1 kids appear to be not interested in using the extra year. I get the high level pros but some of the others? What is their hurry? Job market is not great and the great times in college are hard to duplicate later in life

A perfect storm. A sick PG, a tired group and a ridiculously good opponent. So proud of my kids and not primarily bc of going 26-5 but bc of the unbelievable love they showed each other day in and day out. "Connected" is our slogan and no team embodied that and lived

The culture is strong when practice is at 10 and guys are lifting and shooting before 8. The game rewards those that love it back the others just wonder why it's not going right for them.

This guy usually got accolades on the court not the classroom but he deserves the later. Dj came in as a major at risk student and ended it with 4 A's. Incredible if you know his story. It also reaffirms that being hard on guys for things they are capable is the only way 2 be.

Get your 15 low d1 kids from NJ and have them play against the 15 best NJAC players and it would be a long day for the kids that think they are above the level.
Same goes for all the players that think they’re above D3!

Most high school players have no clue what it takes to play at the top of D 3 and unfortunately either do many of their coaches. Both groups have to get out and educate themselves on the different levels of play
Incredible a Atmosphere At the D3 sweet 16 at Ramapo. Anyone who claims they are too good for D3 should have been there tonight to see how good these teams and players are. Should be a requirement for all future college players.

I get a kick out of Miles Sanders voicing team stuff to media. Dude spent first half of season dropping every screen pass thrown to him and I don't think they lose Browns game if he doesn't fumble on first drive near Goal line.

I can't understand why High Schools still have such outdated websites. Why wouldn't they give as much info on their athletic web page as possible so you could easily identify the coach and his contact info?

Young coaches be careful digesting too much content regarding plays. It's fun but doesn't control winning. Winning happens bc ur team plays harder, is tougher, and you have high standards wirh things that really affect the scoreboard.

The saying is you never want the worst job in a league and Lasalle is the worst job in the A10. Worst funding & by far worst facilities. Not only was Coach G’s teams very competitive they vastly over achieved.The administration should look in the mirror they’ve been the issue.

I thought maybe the pandemic would bring back the art of shooting in driveways and home courts. Went on a long bike ride probably went past 30-40 hoops at houses and not one kid was out there shooting The Rock.

Parents, Coaches encourage your kids to thank the schools that recruited them even if they go somewhere else! Amazing how many kids we we probably spent 10-15 nights away from our families for that don’t do that. Kind of leaves you feeling lucky that the kid isn’t coming.
