This @BartlettHoops team just cemented itself arguably one of the best Memphis-area teams of all time. - 4A State Champs / #7 in the nation - 4-6 D1 prospects (Jones, Okoth, Perry, Williams, Taylor, Hill) - Finished 35-4 overall w/ losses to #1 Paul VI, #4 Principia, and #6 Archbishop Stepinac Fantastic coaching job from @CoachDionReal @Coach_McFall35 and staff. Most exciting part is: They return every one of their D1 prospects outside of Axton Perry.

Transactional vs. Transformational Coaching Dan Hurley shared a story about asking Geno Auriemma for advice after a rough start last season. Geno didn’t mince words: “Listen, if the only gratification and the only part of coaching that excites you is winning the national championship, then you’ve lost your way, buddy! Where’s the joy in the things that you’ve always been about as a coach before you went on the championship run, like relationships with your players, like helping people get better, like making your team the best it can be. Be a coach, man. This is when you really need to be a leader. This team isn’t as good as last year’s, so what the hell are you going to do about it? Are you going home? Are you going to let this thing unravel?” That’s the tension every coach feels: Transactional vs. Transformational. Transactional coaching is outcome-obsessed. It’s about the wins, the losses, the trophies. The problem? When results don’t come, your purpose crumbles with them. Transformational coaching is different. It’s about people. It’s about growth. It’s about building something that lasts whether the scoreboard agrees with you or not. And this is why mentorship matters so much in coaching. Left on our own, it’s easy to drift into a transactional mode without even realizing it. A trusted mentor can pull us back to center, and remind us why we started coaching in the first place. To build relationships. To develop players as people. To make teams the best they can be. Wins matter. But they’re not the why. The why is impact. The why is growth. The why is leaving your players better than you found them. The process is the prize. Stay grounded. Stay on the path. Always remember your why.

Today begins my 25th year coaching basketball. I’m very grateful for all the players over the years who made every season special. There is no place I’d rather be than at Milan HS. Im excited about the journey with this team. No matter what-where we go 1, we go all! #TheMilanWay

special because I was a young struggling head coach at the time & he took 5 minutes to give me an encouraging word-I will always be grateful for that. All those years ago, he was chasing significance. Prayers to his family and the USF community. RIP to a great leader of men!
