I will say this…
Will Wade came to Louisiana and brought life back to LSU Mens’s Basketball.
He built a rapport with former players that hadn’t been established.
He made himself accessible to area high school coaches.
He’s been a bright spot for Louisiana basketball.
Thank You!!

Last Night, I felt an energy in the PMAC that I haven’t witnessed in there since 2006. The student section was rocking! The team had a lot of electrifying moments. This team can be SPECIAL! But they can’t have breakdowns like they had last night!!

Coach Wade has a team that can be ELITE, and he knows it! And to be elite, you have to minimize breakdowns on both sides of the ball. I LOVE everything about his comments!!

When people ask what happened to youth sports.... It's 🤡 clowns like this who are now "coaching" that still feel like they got or had game.
And parents let their kids play for people like him....

It’s about the kids...

Youth Basketball is in a
STATE of EMERGENCY 🚨
- bad coaching
- bad parenting
- unrealistic expectations
- lack of team concepts
- lack of “love for the game”
Basketball has been so good to me, and seeing it mishandled does something hurtful to my soul.

Since Cam has been away from the game, we've seen him disrespected by young kids multiple times.
7 v 7 tournaments as well as camps...
By KIDS, who claim they want to go where he has DOMINATED....
I blame coaches and I blame parents....
It's always KIDS THAT LOOK LIKE HIM!!!

Which brings me to this point....
Our people will miss the opportunity to learn from greatness, because of pride or Ego!!!!
The coaches allowed them to miss a moment.
The parents allowed them to miss a moment.

On my pre draft dinner with the

I ate nothing and asked nothing.
I was so scared of doing, saying, or asking anything that could ruin that opportunity.

Parents are so emotionally engaged in youth sports because they’re spending thousands on training and travel ball.
With that, they feel entitled to certain outcomes.
Success can’t be bought!!!

I witness a team “not want to play” another team. It was honored by the director of the event.
And the “obviously better” team got cheated out of playing the game.
Since when did we encourage kids to duck competition????

Coaches!!!!!
If you teach your player nothing else, make sure they understand one thing about the game….
“If you LOVE the game, it will LOVE you back. If you screw the game, the game will screw you over!”

Summer ball coaches need to focus more on fundamentals…
However, there are tons of coaches only looking for wins, w/ no clue what development looks like.
Pros are allowed to do PRO things. These kids are FAR from pro, yet coaches are trying to get them to mimic pro style play

Tonight, as a coach, I had to display humility. I had to call two players and apologize for the way I handled them tonight.
I will apologize in front of the team tomorrow.
I can’t hold them to higher standards without holding myself accountable as well.

✅CHECK. YOURSELF.✅
In the midst of conflict or adversity, it’s easy to point blame outward. In reality, it will always be something that we could have done better or differently.
In order to grow, we must be able to check ourselves and display self-accountability!
