Read today that 61% of Michigan Athletic Directors are against adding a shot clock. I have yet to talk to anyone in the basketball community that is against the shot clock. Yet 61% of AD’s are against it. Blatant disregard for what people want. Feels like government. In the same conversation…I have yet to talk to anyone that prefers the girls playing after the boy’s and this is a rule that has been forced upon schools and it is completely unwanted. It’s time that the MHSAA and the AD’s of the state represent the athletes on these issues.

PLAYERS: Every decision you make has an impact on your team. 𝑾𝑬 > 𝒎𝒆

As an AD, I encourage parents to ask their kids a simple question: would you rather contribute to a winning program in a smaller role, or play every minute while consistently losing by large margins? There’s value in both, but the answer reveals a lot about priorities.

Kobe Bryant on Shaq: "If he had my work ethic, he'd be the greatest of all time by far." That's not trash talk - that's Kobe's standard. 5 championships. 18 All-Star selections. One of the most feared competitors ever. Here are his 5 non-negotiables: (📌Bookmark this)

The middle school coach is dreaming about being on the high school staff The freshman coach is dreaming about being on the varsity bench. The varsity assistants are dreaming about being the varsity head coach. The varsity head coach is dreaming about being on a college staff. The college assistants are dreaming about being the college head coach. Moral of the story. The job you’re discontent with is someone else’s dream. The best advice I ever received: “Be where your feet are.” It completely changed my mentality. Don’t waste moments. Don’t wish away your process. Don’t take the job you do have for granted. Keep grinding, Coach!

The weight room is about RESPECT. If you miss workouts, or are late, you disrespect your coaches and teammates, and the importance of training. And you are a distraction to those doing things right.

Mamba Mentality forever 🐍

PLAYERS: The playing time you want during your season is often earned by what you do in the off-season.

COACHES: Whatever you condone in your program is what you should be prepared to own and accept in your program. Don't be surprised when you get the very things you allow. What you accept, permit, reward, allow, or reinforce in your program becomes your culture.

Culture isn't about the posters hanging on the wall in the locker room. Culture is what the players are doing when they're hanging out in that locker room. A team's true culture is what the players do and say when the coach is not around. Culture is what you reinforce, reward, allow, or accept.

Unpopular Opinion HS kids STILL want to be coached hard and want to be part of structure. “Kids have changed” is often (not always) an “out” used by coaches. Kids don’t reject discipline. They reject inconsistency and hypocrisy. Clarity Standards Consistency

Mamba Mentality forever

"back in my day" 🤣🤣🤣

Most HS seasons are coming to an end soon. The offseason is where real separation happens. Have a PLAN. Get in the weight room. Tighten your handle. Improve your shot. Develop your body. Study film. Don’t just play, develop. The work u do now shows next winter. @nresultsrecruit

As an AD with a child who plays sports, I understand the struggle of separating parent, coach, and administrator. My kid has been cut. He has sat the bench. He has had to fight his own battles when things were not going his way and he had to talk to the coach. My kid has found success. My kid has learned to work hard. I have never once spoken on his behalf to a coach. Why? Because learning to advocate for yourself and overcome adversity is what shapes you into who you become. Growth does not come from protection. It comes from perseverance. I do this because I love him.

To be a Great assistant: My personal belief 1. Relentless Loyalty to the Head Coach’s Vision. 2. Elite Player Development. 3. High Basketball IQ + Preparation 4. Always Early. (45-60mins) 5. Problem Solver ( Practice & GameDay) 6. Relationship Builder with Players.
