Get your foot in the door of college coaching at USF!! Be a Bull!! 🤘

Ben McCollum shares what it feels like to be around first-place people and a first-place culture. "I went to Northwest Missouri State, and my first practice with Steve Tapmeyer - best coach I've ever been around - I sat there and I'm like, 'This is what first place feels like. This is what a first-place culture feels like. This is what first-place people feel like.'" That was the wake-up call. He realized what first-place people have: "They've got an extreme work ethic. They've got an edge to 'em that other people don't - a competitive spirit." Then he quoted John Thompson: "You can tame a fool a lot quicker than you can resurrect a corpse...We want guys with a little edge to 'em." You can coach skills, but you can't coach competitive spirit. You don't want to consistently coach their effort and attitude. The last thing they look for: Energy givers. "Over the years, we found that guys that are moody don't make it in our program." "If you're moody, if you have low energy, if you suck the life out of the building - you don't make it." Talent isn't enough. Your energy matters. Your attitude matters. Successful people have a competitive edge, they bring energy, and they look to consistently get better. They raise the standard through what they do. (🎥 Watts Happening Podcast)

I asked Dan Hurley the same question I asked Tom Izzo: why does the media have a problem with coaches coaching players hard? Hurley: "Society has gotten soft in a lot of ways... The real world is tough and cruel... I'm preparing my players for life."

@JHendersonTampa @CoachBHodgson @USFMBB JoJo Philon’s decision today could be precursor. If he commits to USF it will say a lot.

What's @CoachBHodgson going to do? Several days of intense speculation about his @USFMBB coaching future has led to nothing definitive. tinyurl.com/4dcyx7by

@TorelloSports Michel Kelly was a phenomenal AD. So much more to the AD position than hiring coaches. Paul Griffin and Michael Kelly put USF on the map and positioned us for the greatness that lies ahead. There is no Rob Higgins without Bobby Paschal, Griffin and Kelly.

That toddler is the reason USF had the opportunity to knock off Boise and Florida. That toddler has more integrity and respect across the country than most P4 administrators. And you don’t get to be the AD at Navy without being incredibly smart and ethical.

@JoeGreenUSF If not Rob, would like to see Brian Lamb take the AD job. Brian would do a phenomenal job.

Who will be USF's next Athletic Director? I asked Chat GPT o3 to rank the top 10 from least to most likely. 🧵

@WaterTowerUSF Adidas >> Nike

If you could improve one thing about USF what would it be?

@TBTimes_Bulls @USFMBB All good choices. Ryan Pannone would be a fantastic hire. Jordan Fee at FAU should be, but likely won’t be, in the mix.

@DomWoodward2025 @SCFBaseball @TCBASEBALL_27 @AcesNational Congrats Dominic. Just the beginning!

I am blessed to announce my commitment to play baseball at State College of Florida. @SCFBaseball @TCBASEBALL_27 @AcesNational

If you can't get it done in practice you won't get it done on game day. If you're not confident in practice you won't be confident on game day. If you're not focused in practice you won't be focused on game day. The habits you cultivate in practice will show up on game day.
