“Try and be a better coach every year. Your responsibility as a coach is to improve each year professionally and your experience only matters if you learn from it.” ~ Mick Cronin

B E A G R E A T T E A M M A T E A great teammate is invested in the team & celebrates the success of teammates all the time! #GetBetterEveryDay "You have a choice to make when you’re not playing. Either you’re invested and a great teammate, or you're not." -Brad Stevens

Today is a great day to make sure your actions align with your desires. Everyone has a desire to accomplish something meaningful but desire alone isn’t enough. Action is required. [ 📷 from “Training Camp” book pg 40 ]

Players separate themselves by doing unrequired work. If you only work on your game at team training you'll always be average.

The best teams have player leadership that holds everyone on the team accountable.

“5% of a person’s life is made up of our performance on game day, 95% is made up of the time we are preparing & practicing.” ~ @JonGordon11 The same is true for Basketball Players…Champions are made and Championships are won without the bright lights, when nobody is watching!

Be hard to play against & easy to play with. Tough players make their teammate's job easier & their opponent's job tougher.

Coach hard on the court and off! Love harder!

A player's willingness to take a charge is directly correlated to his investment in the team.

High standards will always be hard. Discipline has to be renewed daily.

Now that’s class!

Hoopers:  Just talked to a college head coach who told me right before he offers a scholarship to a student/athlete... He watches:  - How they act pregame - How hard they warm up - Do they cruise when team is up big - Bench demeanor

Great leaders de-escalate drama. Drama loses games and divides teams; defuse it.

Questions college coaches ask after watching a recruit: 1-Does he practice hard? 2-What’s his GPA? 3-What does he want to study? 4-Is he a leader? 5-What are his priorities and habits? 6-How are his parents? 7-Does he make his teammates better? 8-Do you enjoy coaching him?

A Division 1 coach called me tonight and his words? I’m tired of watching bad selfish 🏀 in these AAU games. We will stick 2 the transfer portal for now until we 👀 change. Dear coaches hold these kids accountable don’t set them up for failure when u know they are playing wrong📍

Omarian Hatch (Michigan City H.S. 2022) played really well in a one point loss for 94 Feet Elite. 5’8” point guard that is tough as nails. Gets up in you defensively and made quick, strong drives to the basket offensively. Finished well inside.
