So explain this rule to me…incomplete pass hits the ground with 0:01 on the clock and the game is over?

The president likes to tell these lie-upon-lie conversion stories in which unnamed skeptics who used to say he was wrong have now supposedly come to realize he's right, though he remains as wrong as ever. nitter.gq/Acyn/status/2110550171…
2/3 of the Trinity goes to bat for you to the other 1/3 of the Trinity, EVERY DAY…pretty incredible word this morning

One of the biggest mistakes managers make is one I've made many times myself.
We see one of our people doing something wrong, and we don't call it out. It's uncomfortable, so we wimp out and tell others close to us instead. The pressure builds, and eventually we lose it on them, ding them in a review out of left field, or let them go. All of it feels unfair, because it is. They never knew.
Letting people know when something needs to change is one of a leader's biggest responsibilities, and it gives the other person much dignity. There is no better way to handle it.

A lot of players want offers… but don’t want to be recruitable.
A lot of coaches want loyalty…. but don’t want to create a culture that cultivates it.
How much are they taking advantage of what the schools provide vs also needing to spend $ on their own…best use of their own money is most likely to be nutrition based and then likely recovery based expenses. Some schools have everything they need while they’re there.
NBA Players are a business and the best reinvest in their development (On Court, Mentality, Nutrition, Strength, Etc.)
I have a good grasp on how much NBA Players reinvest in themselves.
With College Players now I’d be interested in finding out how many players actually reinvest in themselves to maximize what will most likely be the most money they ever make playing basketball
Especially in this landscape where you are on a 1 year contract and the programs you play for need to extract the most production from you for the upcoming year as opposed to years ago when there was a heavy focus on long term development.

Bear Bryant says he was poor at Xs and Os.
John Wooden says he was poor at in-game coaching and was more of a trainer.
Carlo Ancelotti famously delegates training to focus on game management.
In coaching, lots of things work.
Do *your* thing.
Whoa! Big moves!!
We are excited to announce the addition of Lucas McKay to our staff as General Manager!

It’s not about the head coaches’ contract…it’s about roster salary, staff salaries, and administrative buy-in…
If UNC had top-2 money…where has it been??? Spend it in the right places and they don’t have issues…
If BC and Cuse spent the money…
Same story, repeated ea year

Death of “The Carolina Way”…not good for college basketball. Dean Smith would’ve been extremely proud of Hubert and so should the Carolina Family…sad day.
Agree 💯 The evaluation of character is the main separator. Everyone has their own analytics package or is relying on a short list of outside companies for predictive analytics. But most people are struggling with character/relationship evals…better have A+ background ☑️ s
Assessing Character DNA
So many college coaches have told me recently that this is the separator when recruiting the portal - it’s not hard to analyze a player on film, or do a deep dive in to analytics
But if you get a player with bad character dna, or one that doesn’t fit your program it can be a killer
Analyzing a players Character DNA is as a development coach allows you to create an environment during their training that pushes them to work on weak areas

Back when I was his critic, @Gladwell told me: "We have the luxury of learning from our critics." Stuck with me, and changed how I look at critical feedback, for learning, not something to be defensive about.
