COACHES AND CAPTAINS Your job isn’t to be liked—it’s to be respected. Don’t let your team cut corners, make excuses, or disrespect each other. Accountability isn’t punishment; it’s the path to greatness. Hold them to your team's standards and watch them rise. #CultureWins

Tom Izzo with the best defense of old school coaching, against the softening culture of wussies and lawsuits, I have ever heard from a major sports figure… 🔥💪❤️👏🇺🇸

As an AD, I constantly remind our coaches what a captain really is. It is not always your best player, even though that is the ideal. It is the player who lives out your program’s culture every single day. The one who holds teammates accountable, shows up and works, puts the team first, and does the little things right when no one is watching. A captain is not just a talented kid who makes plays. It is the standard everyone else should follow.

“Now we’re just supposed to hug and kiss everybody. You know what? Do your job right. Go to class and you won’t hear about not going to class. Kids have so many distractions they don’t stay focused on the task at hand. Accountability is going to be big until I leave,” Tom Izzo

Coaches, as you prepare for the final four, here’s some considerations: - Try to make 5 meaningful connections, instead of 20 new introductions. - Attend socials and gatherings - While it’s a party for some, it’s an interview for you. Remember that. - Try to get a meal or coffee with one person every day. - Write handwritten notes to everyone you meet. - Attend as many clinics as possible. Job opportunities wont matter if you can’t coach! - Check out the final four practices. Great free opportunity to learn. - Learn to self promote without looking arrogant. In this business, you have to self promote. - Don’t just meet coaches. Meet ADs, agents, support staff, vendors and more. - Stop by Synergy to say hello to my brother @Curley_Synergy. - Have fun. It’s basketball.
