Coach Aaron Patterson

This is great advice for HS prospects. Go where you are wanted & where you have the best chance of playing. You only get better, get stats & exposure if you play. Same advice should be applied to choosing a prep school & AAU program. Go somewhere where you are wanted & can play

Alex Wilkins was one of the very best mid-major freshmen in the country this year. Furman takes on UConn tonight. We talked about Wilkins on a @247Sports College Basketball Show back in January. 📺 youtu.be/Y-2NW0dQXLc?si…

@andersontobin @TTU_Basketball Good luck 🍀 - you will do a great job!

Let's get started! Fired up to lead @TTU_basketball! Big things ahead!!!

@ConnorMerrill33 @ZackSandberg @DeerfieldHoops You did a great job @ConnorMerrill33 building that program! Best wishes to you in your future endeavours.

My tenure at the helm of @DeerfieldHoops comes to an end. Forever grateful to Bob Howe for hiring a guy who had zero head-coaching experience. Forever grateful for our players and families who believed in me. Left it better than I found it and I am excited for what comes next!

Tom Brady: To be successful at anything, the truth is, you do not have to be special. You just have to be what most people aren not: consistent, determined and willing to work for it. No shortcuts.

Advice that the great Skip Prosser gave a young Mark Schmidt “10 percent of the game is x and o’s, 90 percent of the game is getting kids to play hard for you”

What is the Cost of Leadership? It costs $0 to say “hello.” It costs $0 to pick up trash It costs $0 to say “please.” It costs $0 to be kind It costs $0 to say “thank you.” It costs $0 to encourage others It costs $0 to smile Lead by Example. It costs nothing.

UCLA HC Bob Chesney - Meeting Structure - Teach - Intentionality - Feedback

Wise words from Joe Mazzulla about how winning isn’t everything: “At the end of the day, if you have a bunch of wins, but you don't have the relationship with the guys, it's pretty empty.” “You're in it to go after stuff, together with people, and to be a part of someone else's story and someone to be a part of yours.”

Execution beats strategy. Here is what John Wooden, had to say about it: “There is no area of basketball in which I am a genius. None. Tactically and strategically, I'm just average, and this is not offering false modesty. We won national championships while I was coaching at UCLA because I was above average in analyzing players, getting them to fill roles as part of a team, paying attention to fundamentals and details, and working well with others, both those under my supervision and those whose supervision I was under. Additionally, I enjoyed very hard work.”

Pete Carroll on Coaching 🎥 Great coaches don’t just demand compliance. They teach athletes to think, adapt, and figure it out. Coaching = Belief in someone’s potential + Commitment to their journey.

Pat Riley on his basketball philosophy 😤

@OleTimeHardball Jim Rice should be on that list

OldTimeHardball “1980s All Decade Team”

@VTCam_ And the halftime crew is even worse I haven’t watched @ESPNNBA Finals but I had to watch Game 7 & it almost is impossible to get through it! I just shut off the halftime show @stephenasmith @KendrickPerkins the absolute worst & Bob Meyers is irrelevant (why is he there?)

ESPN’s NBA Finals broadcasts are so low quality nowadays, just hard for it to feel big time. Mike Breen’s heart isn’t in it anymore, Richard Jefferson doesn’t have a big game voice, and Doris Burke is nails on a chalkboard overemphasizing everything as always

@HoopMixOnly Dr. J @JuliusErving revolutionized how the game was played - the athleticism & style of play you see today he had a major influence on - underrated! Wilt Chamberlain was also revolutionary. They outlawed the dunk because of Kareem @kaj33. Pistol Pete with his passing & playmaking

This is in perfect order. 👌🏽

@itszeekbaby5 @TheHoopHerald Really it was not close …Kareem 26.4 PPG, 15.5 RPG, -AST -he scored 40+ points 4X / Pistol Pete 44.2 PPG, 6.4 RPG, 5.1 AST -he scored 40+ points in 56 of his 83 college games … yes Lew was a great player and a winners, but in terms of best ever in production it was NOT CLOSE!!

@CoachPatterson4 @TheHoopHerald Best is probably Kareem..

LSU’s “Pistol” Pete Maravich is NCAA’s all-time leading scorer w/3,667 career pts (44.2 ppg) in 3 years (freshmen ineligible) without a 3pt line. Researchers who watched game film say w/3pt Maravich would’ve averaged 57 pts & 12 threes per game How is this even possible?

@Tiger_Aldrich @TheHoopHerald Really it was not close …Lew 26.4 PPG, 15.5 RPG, -AST -he scored 40+ points 4X / Bill 20.6, 15.7 RPG, -AST and he scored 40+ pts twice / Pistol Pete 44.2 PPG, 6.4 RPG, 5.1 AST -he scored 40+ points in 56 of his 83 college games … yes Lew & Bill were winners, but NOT CLOSE!!!

@CoachPatterson4 @TheHoopHerald Lew Alcindor and Bill Walton might have something say that!
