When I was hired to coach varsity basketball at just 26 years old I thought I was God's gift to basketball. You couldn't tell me anything. I knew it all. Well, heading into Christmas break in my first season I was 0-9. And I realized quickly how little I knew. My players were getting suspended. My offense was messy. My emotions were all over the place. I dreaded people asking me how it was going. Quite frankly my team was awful and I had no control. I quickly felt like maybe coaching wasn't my thing. After I got done throwing a pitty party for myself, I hit the reset button. I started asking others for help. I read more books. I hired assistants. Every week I'd text or call another coach and pick his or her brain. Turns out, you're much better off with others in your corner than standing alone with your chest out. Shocking. I know. But as coaches it's what we default to. "My stuff is the best." "I don't need to adjust." "I don't have time to read." "It's the kids not my system." So when I finally won, the emotion that overtook me was gratitude. I was thankful for every person that poured into me when I didn't deserve it. I was thankful to God for giving me a platform that I didn't think would ever happen. I found myself extra grateful for every little thing that I had disregarded beforehand. My advice to young coaches entering the field...Acknowledge that you don't have all the answers and that you need help. Find a good staff. Ask for a mentor. Read. Watch extra film. Success starts with humility.

Hurt my shoulder sophomore year of hs. Had the same injury as Brad Davidson. With no idea what to do, I emailed Greg Gard and asked how Brad handled it. Surprisingly he gave my info to the trainer who gave me a lot of advice. Greg Truly seems like a great guy, Hope UW keeps him.

Teachers, this is important. Regardless of what your administration says, put the March Madness games on today. They are core memories for kids. I can still remember exactly where I sat for certain games. If you get in trouble it’s ok. They won’t fire you 😂

@CoachHPrice I’ve had 1 kid express interest in March madness from 6-8th grade. What has happened to the game that I love?

@Classic_Engine That’s wild. But that’s also the thing about teaching. Some schools are hurting so bad for teachers that there will always be jobs.

@CoachHPrice This was actually the last straw for one of the middle school teachers in our district. Kid you not. He was a good friend of mine, but he was young and stumbled out of the gate, couldn’t act maturely, pissed off the wrong people, same old story. He’s a teacher somewhere else now.

@CoachHPrice High schoolers are reading at a 3rd grade level and you want them watching meaningless basketball games in school?

@CoachHPrice In the classroom? I disagree. In the lunch room, commons area, etc. is fine. Teachers shouldn’t just not teach and put on a basketball game though.

@CoachHPrice Had the theme song on a loop as everyone walked in this morning. Tape bracket is occupying the chalkboard, every kid has a team. We are not playing around over here.

The middle school coach is dreaming about being on the high school staff The freshman coach is dreaming about being on the varsity bench. The varsity assistants are dreaming about being the varsity head coach. The varsity head coach is dreaming about being on a college staff. The college assistants are dreaming about being the college head coach. Moral of the story. The job you’re discontent with is someone else’s dream. The best advice I ever received: “Be where your feet are.” It completely changed my mentality. Don’t waste moments. Don’t wish away your process. Don’t take the job you do have for granted. Keep grinding, Coach!

@ShehanCoach Man this is great perspective. A coach asked me just yesterday if it’s possible for a coach to go back down a level mentally. I think you just answered it.

@CoachHPrice I got to say, I’ve been a Varsity Baseball coach for 15 years. This is year I’ve been an Asst. JH Baseball coach, and I have had more fun! Every level has its perks and its stress, but it has to be about the players and the game. Everything else is just noise.

My favorite coaching accounts to follow on socials. @PhilBeckner - NBA and CBB trainer who’s turned to coaching coaches. He gives the nitty gritty details of climbing the coaching ladder. @CoachHackGO - Best basketball play distributor in the business. @gregolsen88 - NFL analyst who specializes in youth sports conversations. His podcast is fantastic.

That has seemed to be a common thread on here. One of the reasons I stepped down from teaching and coaching was because I lost the passion for teaching. I couldn’t give the kids what they needed, even though I loved coaching. But now I’ve found other avenues to tap into to that love so it all worked out.
