“I would crawl to get there.” 👏🏼👏🏼@IlliniMBB Coach Brad Underwood // THAT is #GRIT! @angeladuckw calls it “passion & perseverance for very long term goals.” Coupled with a quote from my friend @PlayPresent - “I played it long, walked slow, and trusted the light inside of me.” 🙏🏼

“I'm an old JUCO ball coach. I drove on 16 passenger fans. I drove from Kansas to Arizona for a basketball game... If you had told me back then that I'm getting to coach basketball in the Sweet 16.. I would sign up for it, I would crawl to get there.

@transformbball Autonomy supportive environments lead to empowered players, leads to player-led teams, leads to purpose beyond winning and losing for players. Which, generally, leads to more success!

Joe Mazzulla has always been one to think outside the box. Letting players decide who starts and the matchups is the perfect example of co-design at the highest level of basketball. When we talk about SDT, or self-determination theory, we are also talking about ways that coaches can motivate players intrinsically to be their best and perform at their highest level. Co-design is a great strategy to do just this. It also allows you, as the coach, to see what players think and gain insight into their perspectives on the game.

I would add that a team is a dynamic organism and the intangible aspects you’re referring to are a huge contributor to this and many decisions in coaching, hard to quantify (and thus challenging for us to analyze from the outside looking in with limited context)

“Anyone that has done any coaching know the emotional status of the players is paramount. Frankly, anyone on the outside has poor visibility in this space. As i've mentioned here before, that is a significant information gap.” - @DJAceNBA this part is huge! I completely agree.
DJ Zullo@DJAceNBA

The data on the Knicks offense with x5 on Hart (follow @ShaxNBA - he's been all over it) is not good. So why has Mike Brown decided to stick with Hart in the SL when the data suggests its a mistake? I don't pretend to have the answer. I think it is some combination of A) He (like Thibs) believes the Knicks can play better when defended in this way and B) The non-measurables. Anyone that has done any coaching know the emotional status of the players is paramount. Frankly, anyone on the outside has poor visibility in this space. As i've mentioned here before, that is a significant information gap. I think a component to Hart starting is not something we have a metric for. I think the frustation with many is we have an abundance of metrics at out disposal. This is wonderful. More data is good! But one can certainly weigh these metrics too heavily compared to the intangible nature of basketball. How do you measure the value of a player's confidence? What if that same player provides intangible leadership qualities? Benching Hart in favor of a more dangerous shooter is reasonable. It is a stance backed by data. The difference in opinion among the fanbase and among content creators is healthy. It has forced me to be better in analyzing the pros/cons in this area. The debate is robust and that is beautiful. I am not anti-data. I am anti-absolutism.

“We go from acute stress to moderate stress instead of acute stress & recovery from that…and then what happens from acute stress, unmanaged, to moderate stress, unmanaged, leads to chronic stress, unmanaged, leads to early death.” @michaelgervais on Finding Mastery 🎤 a bar! 🙏🏼

“Competition happens in the present moment.” - Coach Daigneault 💯
Justin Martinez@Justintohoops

Mark Daigneault was asked by @BannedMacMahon how OKC is avoiding complacency during its historic start: “You have to understand anything in the past takes you out of the present moment. Anything in the future takes you out of the present moment. And the competition happens in the present moment.”

“Does the audio match the video?” 🎙️🎙️🎙️
Zach Brandon@MVP_Mindset

Former NBA General Manager, Tommy Sheppard, with a pair of great leadership reminders on developing wisdom and integrity. 1. “There’s an ‘S’ at the end of the word dues.” A simple reminder that meaningful careers aren’t built overnight. It takes time, reps, setbacks, and growth to become the leader or professional you aspire to be. You don’t fast-forward wisdom. 2. “Leadership can’t have a bad day.” As Tommy said, the moment you walk into the building, people are watching. They’re reading your energy, your consistency, and your example. They want to know: Does your audio match your video? Do your actions align with the words you speak? 📹: The Threshold Lab Podcast

Mike Brown has shown the Knicks the clip of DK Metcalf chasing down Budda Baker after intercepting Russell Wilson to demonstrate buy-in of the "next play speed" "I've watched it 100 times, it gives me goosebumps just to see somebody make the play"

… He said it’s about sacrificing for one another, connectivity, their competitive spirit and their overall belief in the process and in each other.” This practice goes a long way towards solidifying your team identity and achieving buy-in (no small feat in an NBA org)!

… Brown said it was a contract about the standard. He said it doesn’t matter if we win or lose, if it’s June, July, August - the standard is the standard…
