A few things…
1. Connectivity and CULTURE win games…we made the Final 4 with one kid that has a high major offer
2. THEY DESERVE MORE OFFERS‼️
3. The kids left EVERYTHING out there.

@buddyhield
about why people don’t go ‘All in’ for things and we started talking about fear of failure. Buddy went on to say “I love failure, because when you fail you cant go down anymore…the only place you can go is up.”…very cool perspective to me.

I hate that Oklahoma doesnt have a shot clock, man! The game would be so much faster and fun to watch. Also, it hopefully gets rid of the "5 second rule" which is so outdated imo...it forces players to play out of control. That rule needs to go whenever the shot clock happens.

No trainer/coach can make you great…. All I (we) can do is show you a way or point you in a direction and its up to YOU to do things in a great way. It begins with a vision and ends with an obsession to be better than you were yesterday. Its always on you.

Ive seen easily over 100 HS games this year and here are 3 things that really stick out to me.
1. Coaches MUST change with the times…too many are stuck in THEIR ways
2. 95% of players have no idea how to move off-ball or play through action
3. Lack of early action in offense

One of the greatest gifts we can provide others is to inspire them on their journey…every session I do I make sure I leave the kids with something they can take beyond the 94x50…that is the real win for me. I love the game but I will always love people more! People > Players!

just absolutely controls every single game. Never sped up - never out of control. Gets the ball where it needs to go and makes winning play after winning play. Had a 4 to 1 assist to turnover ration with an ABSURD usage rate & had 1.26 points per FGA...EFFICIENT!

There is an art to the midrange that 99% of kids arent willing to buy in to. The only player I have worked with that has 100% bought in is
@CalFurnish
…he works on it non-stop and made the unorthodox, orthodox and the uncomfortable, comfortable 💯
Wish more kids shot the midrange ..I could care less what analytics say..so many kids pass up good looks because they aren’t comfortable with it, so they get all to the rim where a giant is waiting for them and now it’s a contested layup instead of a wide open pull up ..

Mental lapses are perhaps one of the biggest obstacles to YOUR SUCCESS‼️ Its okay for a random thought to enter your mind but you dont have to follow it and lose focus from the task! Acknowledge it-Come back where your feet are-Let the thought naturally pass-and DO WORK‼️

I literally despise some of the rankings and write up stuff I see. You wont see me do any of that unless I have done my homework. If you are going to be in that line of business you better study the game, watch a lot of film on players, and get input from valuable sources.

I’ve watched A LOT of games this week and 3 questions I think every player should ask themselves are:
1. Do I make others better? (Both when playing or when on bench)
2. What do I need to do more to make others better?
3. What do I need to do less of so WE can be better?

“Leave it better than you found it.”
A simple phrase that I live by and has helped me tremendously over the years.
Live this world better, leave practice better, leave a room of people with better energy, leave a bench/locker room neater, leave TODAY better.
LEAVE BETTER!

Bad body language just isn’t it man…it is hard to watch, be around, and coach. It’s all a battle between your ears…feelings and thoughts come into the mind and YOU CHOOSE how to respond to them. The greats, aka the strong-minded, see past the feeling/thought and march on.

One of the most overlooked roles on a basketball team is a "ball-mover" or "action guy". A player that makes quick reversals/decision with the ball and constantly initiates actions by cutting/screening/moving.

2 things I always preach in my sessions.
1. Leadership has a sound…you cant lead/inspire in silence.
2. Most of the time your energy is in direct relation to your voice. Meaning, the less vocal you are = the less energetic you will be. IF YOU WANT MORE ENERGY, USE YOUR VOICE‼️

Its easy to talk about hardships as if they are a breeze. When you have sacrificed so much time/energy and something doesnt happen it is easy to feel betrayed. Keep pushing and get lost in the work…one day you will hopefully see the work is the reward ‼️
For my fellow dream chasers…its okay to be discouraged. Sometimes the obstacles are so grueling that the hardship will dampen your spirits. Its okay to “think” about quitting. I did/have many times…just know, dawn is just after the darkest hour. Bend but never break 🙏🏻💯

So much of what I see is players forcing bad shots, over-driving, or driving the ball when gaps are plugged…what you need to realize is what makes great players is how they make OTHERS better. Good players can put up numbers, but great players make everyone around them better.
I’ve watched A LOT of games this week and 3 questions I think every player should ask themselves are:
1. Do I make others better? (Both when playing or when on bench)
2. What do I need to do more to make others better?
3. What do I need to do less of so WE can be better?
