Nate Ament: "It's one of the reasons I chose Tennessee because of Coach Barnes and his faith. ... as a team, you're trying to glorify something bigger than yourself. And, ultimately, something that is Jesus Christ and is God can only lead to good things. When you're playing for something other than your own glory and the glory of others, the glory of your teammates, the glory of Christ, only good things can happen from there if you're being selfless and trying to take care of each other."

I asked Tom Izzo about the viral clip of Charles Barkley defending his coaching style by saying people have gotten too soft.
Izzo: "Now we're supposed to just hug and kiss everybody... Accountability is going to be big until I leave."

I asked Dan Hurley the same question I asked Tom Izzo: why does the media have a problem with coaches coaching players hard?
Hurley: "Society has gotten soft in a lot of ways... The real world is tough and cruel... I'm preparing my players for life."

“You guys make it about the wins and losses. 25 years from now, I want them to pick up the phone and call me because they need me. I’m there for them.”
The life of a coach is an investment in people, not just points.
Build a legacy that outlasts the jersey.

Winning at a high level takes what it takes.

Incredible take from Charles Barkley on Tom Izzo: "The media, who don't know anything about sports, say 'Why is he yelling his players?' That's called coaching... if parents & friends get mad because you're getting yelled at, get better parents & better friends."

@NoahMcKayUCR #2 can’t get here fast enough. Tennessee at the tail end of the pack on implementing it is sad for our state.

"What allows people to play their best basketball is when they are obsessed and consumed with how to we win this basketball game and what do I have to do to help our team." - Grant McCasland
Sacrificing me for we.
What TEAM sports are all about.

Behind every state championship banner is a group of kids who learned that mediocrity doesn’t cut it, accountability is earned, and success is shared. Winning is just the byproduct.

Appreciate the NOW.
Every player’s hourglass runs out faster than they think.
One day, the practices, the games, the grind…it’s all gone.
Cherish every rep, every moment, every opportunity.
Don’t waste your sand. ⏳

“I am genuinely telling you that playing hard is a skill.” - TJ McConnell
It’s controllable.
It’s a choice.
Talent matters.
Skill matters.
But effort is decided.
Do you compete when you’re tired?
Do you play to exhaustion?

RESPONDING TO MISTAKES
"I'm letting the team down because I turned the ball over ... missed a shot ... blew a defensive assignment. No, you're letting the team down when it parlays into 4 or 5 possessions after that.
Pick yourself up... You're playing a game that's imperfect."

It was one heck of a ride, Coach.
Congratulations to Tony Vitello, making history as the first collegiate head coach to move directly to MLB manager.
