Dan Hurley talked about Tarris Reed Jr.'s transformation into a first-round pick for the Spurs: "Getting that guy to play with an identity, a dominance around the basket, becoming a great screener, rim protector, rebounder. Getting him to do things that aren't very sexy at a championship level, it's made him a guy who played in the Final Four and became a first-round pick. It was a brutal process, but it was worth it in the end."

A lot of people on this app need to really research how college eligibility has changed with the 5 in 5 rules 1. Only applies to D1 2. Juco now counts (no you can’t get 7 years by going juco then d1)

“What do I need to do if I want to play college basketball?” Coach @ErikPastrana broke down to our campers what it takes to be a high level basketball player 📈🙌

Duke associate head coach @CoachCarrawell shared how they ✅Built a player-centric adaptable offense (5-out for Flagg in ‘24/early post-ups for Boozer in ‘25). ✅Create situational player development ✅Allow players to “fix it” and so much more basketballimmersion.com/the-basketball…

Blaming, complaining, and making excuses will never move you forward or make your situation better.

4year coaches looking for a scoring guard late‼️‼️ Dwight has his AA, graduated with a 3.35. @dwightstephens_ @LBWCCMBB

Head Coach Mike Brown on the dilemma all leaders face: Every SUGGESTION may help an individual 🙋‍♂️, but every DECISION must protect the group. 🚌 Leadership is the responsibility of filtering good intentions through the lens of identity, vision, and your non-negotiable standards. Because not every opportunity is aligned opportunity. The position of leader comes with the responsibility of saying yes or no to people who at face value are just trying to help... But also weighing the opportunity costs against your identity, vision, and standards for the team that you believe CAN'T CHANGE, if you want to be successful. @nyknicks 💯

I watched AAU basketball all weekend. I left with bad news for most players: Too many are building highlight reels before they’re building winning habits. The game ends. They lose. And before they’ve watched film or owned what needs to change… The post is already up. The highlight clip. The posed photo. Everyone wants exposure. But exposure doesn’t fix bad shot selection. It doesn’t make you defend. It doesn’t teach you how to impact winning. The camera should document the work. It shouldn’t become the reason for the work.

Head Basketball Coach Book Richardson — The St. James Academy What really translates to the next level? Coach Book Richardson breaks down what college coaches are truly looking for — players who hate losing more than they love winning, impact the game beyond scoring, and make winning plays consistently. From attitude and habits to toughness and team-first basketball, the conversation dives into what separates players that succeed at the next level from those that don’t. “Talent gets attention. Winning basketball keeps you there.” youtube.com/shorts/16zsFLW…

Everyone wants the credit. Few want the mirror. “We need to look at ourselves when we have failure and point to other people when we have success.” - Marcus Freeman That’s real leadership.👇
