@JackMac I'm fine with that, but there needs to be some form of compensation down from higher leagues to lower leagues.

As you realize the college sports you grew up with doesn’t exist anymore, it hits you that it may have all been a facade. The reason these teams below existed was largely to players being exploited with no ability to make money & punished for transferring. NIL introduced….cream rises to the top. In 2012 a guy who fell through the cracks in recruiting would spend 4 years at a mid major and develop there…not anymore. 80% of those players trickle up to make the major conference teams that were losing in 2008 better in 2026. College sports was prob better in 2010 but it was due to a model that unequivocally ripped off athletes. I am open to being wrong here, but the game has changed forever and what we watched years ago was fake.

There should be an Ohio of Miami

Meaningless without naming names.

@tigerbbask @CoachClayCRJ It's not even open secrets. Nobody is hiding

@CoachClayCRJ POST NAMES. Expose them.

I know of multiple high school coaches in Minnesota right now actively recruiting kids that are currently at other high schools. Do better, build your own program, stop bragging on kids you didn’t develop also handlers stop blaming others cause YOU lied to kids 🤷🏽‍♂️

Bilikens!!!

@BrettCloutier @10Kbadmedia Feels like the kind of thing the coaches association should sponsor and then we go out and sell spots

@BrettCloutier @10Kbadmedia I've got people to produce. Sponsorship is really the key

If my last tweet was vague, here ya go. They went a different direction than Dame. Just wildly incompetent administrative decision.

@BrettCloutier @10Kbadmedia I bet there's much better post edit software now.

@CoachBabler @10Kbadmedia Dude, I would love to, and I know you were a loyal listener. It was great during Covid when I had some more time at home, but it’s hard to lock in a couple hours a week for recording and editing and uploading a couple different guests. Definitely on my bucket list.

@TolentinoTeach Why is this an unpopular opinion?

Unpopular opinion: Bell-to-bell instruction often creates “distracted busyness.” Sure, students look on task, and it seems like learning is happening. But there’s a better way—let students go all in on one focused task, give it their best effort, no distractions. Then play a game. Or take a walk. Focused effort followed by movement is the best method for deep, focused work.

@BrettCloutier @10Kbadmedia When can we get the podcast back?

@BrettCloutier @10Kbadmedia I know who he is and what he's about. I also had 90% certainty this would happen last fall.

@BrettCloutier @10Kbadmedia Rumor: Replacement is in the building

@10Kbadmedia I don’t think it was parents

@Coach_Monty @MattMajkrzak Good hire

Went to tough jobs and won. Learned how to do more with less. No one will outwork him on the trail. Great hire. Happy for you @MattMajkrzak

I’ve known Dame nearly 20 years. He did a phenomenal job reviving the BSM bball program. Schools with a HC position available should offer him their job immediately!

@LetsTalk_Wolves No

Would you do this hypothetical trade? 🤔

In 2008, 62% of teachers said they were very satisfied with their job. In 2022, that dropped to 12%. We've got a serious problem brewing in education...

It's time!
