Parents, last two weeks I have been to NBA, NAIA, D2, D1 and prep practices. Trust me communication and playing with a motor has been needed for each. Every level will require it even if that’s not your child’s personality. They will have to become comfortable being uncomfortable

We have officially exceeded our limit of AAU teams. It’s no longer productive to have a team just to say you have one.

Really feel the need to say this, College Basketball on any level is difficult. Development, development development..please allow your child time to develop. Only 2% of college freshmen play over 12 min per game forget what you see on ESPN or hear. Paths are unique embrace yours

We really need to stop talking about college basketball like it’s easy. No matter the level if you are in college on a team you are winning. Less than 6% of high school players in the US are even playing college basketball. I daily celebrate the young men at WAU. 👏🏾👏🏾👊🏾💪🏾

People say a lot of things but I always look at their actions. Coach K’s coaching tree and his development of black HC coaches to take on leadership positions is the example of how to put action to power.

I’ve been a HS & AAU coach for over 25 years and I still can’t understand coaches that keep their top players from talking to D2, D3 and NAIA college coaches. Even if they are D1 talent to you, knowing coaches on all levels can’t be negative. 🤷🏾♂️

When the basketball moves quickly it seems to find the correct shot every time. Are you a basketball stopper or mover? 🤔

They aren’t really interested in that school. Honestly the move probably doing both a favor. As a college coach you never want to bring someone in that really thinks he/she is better than your program. It’s really cancerous to your culture.

At WAU we value relationships and teaching daily. You can’t talk about development or culture until you value the relationships. Walk one step at a time before you run a 5K.

Old enough to remember when family was happy you were going to college, now some players aren’t even going to college if it’s not the level they feel they are. Please make it make sense to me!

Season is officially over 22-8, felt we were good enough to get one of the NAIA At-Large bids. We didn’t, so we must get better. Shoutout to Michael Liriano for becoming the winningest player in WAU men’s basketball history (87 wins). 👏🏾👏🏾👊🏾❤️
Really enjoyed coaching this group

Word of advice, play to win the game. We are college coaches and smart enough to figure all the other stuff out. Tomorrow I want to see the most competitive games I have seen all summer!

Ok let me try this social media recruiting thing to see if it works for me.
Need a 6’7+ post player that runs and is an athletic rim protector in this 2021 class. DM me some videos. If I get one DM of a guard or someone under 6’6 that isn’t athletic, social recruiting over! 😂

I hate that social media has made young players think all they need to do is make one big play and it will change everything for them. Reality is they need to make a lot of little plays consistently just to get the opportunity to be on the floor.

AAU and HS coaches you can really help your kids recruiting out if you put both first and last names in the book. “Luke”, “Mike” and “Rob C” might not be someone everyone you want to recruit your players know on first name basis. 🤷🏾♂️

Can we please stop it with all the crazy era talk 🤦🏽♂️? Dudes who can score could score in any era. Wilt, Oscar, Bird, KD, Jordan, Kareem, LeBron, Melo, they all would have figured it out no matter the era. Y’all honestly think there was nothing in their era they had to go through

Parents and coaches we have to change the narrative. Education is still very valuable and the life experiences that go with college. We gotta stop the “D1 or bust” because everyone is not a D1 player and it’s making kids that can play in college think they are failures if not D1

Coaches have always copied the NBA good or bad. College and HS coaches follow those trends, they have never followed AAU. So can we please stop blaming AAU for everything negative, it’s a bad excuse for failure and players learn as much from our actions as from what we say.
