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)

Ben McCollum knows that to change your team - it starts with the people and the culture. • 4 national titles at Northwest Missouri State. • Drake's first NCAA win in 50 years. Now Iowa's first Sweet 16 in 27 years. Here's how he builds culture: (📌Bookmark this)

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."

@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.

Look at how much aura our new AD has compared to our old one. Higgins has style, grace, and confidence. The hand-in-pocket move is a total power play. Crisp pocket square, too. MK just stands there like a toddler waiting to tell you he threw up in the middle of the night.

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

@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.

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.
