Rick Pitino shares the hourglass lesson he gives every team and why it's one you should be sharing with your team.
"I brought in a 60-minute hourglass. During our film session, I turned it over and said, 'That's how quick this next 6 weeks are gonna go for you. And then your career is over.'"
That's not a metaphor - it's a warning.
"Every player I've ever coached that's had great success - from Kentucky, Louisville, Providence - they said, 'If I could just have one more year back in college.' Even though they made the pros."
"Antoine Walker always says, 'If I could have that one more year like the '96 team.'"
The guys who made it to the highest level still wish they could go back.
"They're gonna miss it. But that hourglass - I want them to know it happens quick. All of a sudden it's gonna be February, you're into March, and it's over."
Don't wait until it's over to appreciate what you have.
Every day is an opportunity to choose gratitude.

🚨 As the game has evolved, the most important tactical thing a defense can do is STAY OUT OF ROTATION 🚨
The optimal coverage is NOT HAVING TO USE YOUR COVERAGE.
This is because 3PT shooting and OBoard % against, drastically increase when the dominoes fall and your D is in rotation. These 2 metrics tip the scales immensely in terms of winning and losing.
CLOSEOUTS are the foundation to staying in rotation (along POA D, and not overhelping). A constested shot at the rim will yield less PPP than an open catch and shoot 3 will, at virtually every level.
Subjectively, the BEST methodology to teach closeouts is from @BBallImmersion .
He teaches the RUN-STOP method. It's simple, it's game-like and most importantly it gets to the shooter QUICKLY, while simultaneously decreasing the odds of being put in rotation.
