Talent is maybe 5%. The rest is commitment, sacrifice, and consistency before the season and every day during it. Giving up bad habits matters as much as building good ones. Strategy only works with focus and retention. That’s why only about 1% make it to the next level.

Houston HC Kelvin Sampson - Why Coaches Fail "I think the coaches that fail at every level, are the coaches that are passive aggressive. Passing aggressive coaches are usually afraid to hold kids accountable, they rationalize." "If you're going to build a culture, the first thing you have to come to grips with, you're going to have confrontation." Consistency Competence Confidence Confrontation

The best sets are displayed during the NCAA tournament. Enjoy watching coaches creatively put guys in position to score.

Such a powerful photo with guys from new and old. Well deserved! 🐐🐐🐐

Looking forward to watching all the High School boys basketball state games this week. Some really good match ups. March madness is the best time of the year.

Too many missed opportunities to capitalize in games and position ourselves for post season play. Definitely a weird year for us.

The Journey is the Journey, & the process is the process. Gotta love it!

SD Class B guys looking good!

The more I see actions out of the Princeton the more I like it. We implemented some components out it last year gonna keep building on it.

I wanted to share this from the NCAA! 4.1% of HS girls basketball players go on to play in the NCAA, & only 1.3% play D1. Are you working harder than 96% of the basketball players out there? It is is so competitive to play D1, D2 & D3- make the most of ALL of your choices!

Bellarmine is widely known as the team that doesn’t dribble. Head Coach Scott Davenport’s philosophy asserts that a pass heavy offense leads to more defensive breaks downs from opposing teams. Bellarmine’s continuity offense is truly a unique approach to the game.

Battle At The Falls Champions this weekend. Proud of this group. Great weekend of hoops. #SacredHoops

I believe my experiences as a high school head coach would allow for a long successful college coaching experience. Looking forward to getting an opportunity!

Athletes fall in love with a game that coaches LOVE to teach... If you love what you do, let it show!!!

We will also have to play 2 times faster next year then we did this year for us to be successful. I am excited about the summer and next season.
