New Crib Old love BASKETBALL!! I’m officially a Matador 🏀 @

I am not getting into the debate of right or wrong on coaches part. It’s a hard cold realty Parents, please don’t be “That Parent” that costs your kid a college opportunity Please allow your kids the experience & growth that comes from learning to solve their own problems. I’m not saying to not “guide and advise”. I’m saying allow them the privilege & opporunity to grow.

As an AD, I remind our coaches their job is to develop athletes but also play the best players to win. There will always be parents upset about playing time, and there will always be parents upset about losing. So you might as well coach to win while continuing to develop your athletes the right way.

Gilbert Junior Camacho is a steal for any coach who’s looking for a guard who can facilitate, score when need be, and rebound on both sides of the ball. His accolades speak for themselves.

Coach K shares a universal truth about success, resilience, and growth. "When you're getting your butt kicked, it's called changing a limit." "So many parents today don't allow their kids to change limits...They're worried about them failing instead of learning. You learn through the experience of failure and success." Growth requires discomfort. You have to be willing to look bad before you get better. The problem isn't failure - it's protecting people from it. "Failure was never a destination." You can't grow or be successful without accepting that there will be challenges and adversity. (🎥 Duke Fuqua School of Business )

“When you allow your children to grow up it’s a direct, direct reflection of your parenting. If you hover over them all the time and they can’t work through problems, they’re going to have some issues. You’ve got to let them work through problems because they’re working through the things you’ve instilled in them,” Dawn Staley Let them learn.

Coach Cal praised HPU for flying students out postgame. He added: “Administrations win championships. Coaches win games. In this era of NIL, if you’re not totally into it and they’re not committed, you’re not winning. You just can’t. And High Point is.” Worth the full listen.

Charles Barkley on Tom Izzo: "He's one of the few coaches who can still yell at his players. We got these babies out here now... The last couple of years, the media, who don't know anything about sports because they never played, say, 'Why is he yelling at his players?' That's called coaching. He cares. If you don't want to be coached you probably shouldn't come to Michigan State. I love the fact that he never backs down. Your job as a coach is to coach your players. If their parents and they friends get mad because you're getting yelled at, you get better parents and better friends."

Tom Izzo shares an uncomfortable truth about earning your spot. "You play real good, you start. You don't play as good, you work your way back in." "That's the American way - except America has gotten soft." You don't get what you want in life - you get what you earn. It starts with showing up and earning it every single day. No shortcuts...Just hard work. (🎥@CBBonFOX )

PSA as we head into AAU season: If any AAU team, trainer, or coaches require you to train with them and restrict you from training with others, they are prioritizing their bottom line, not the players development Players should always be free to train with whoever they want!

When Focus is on Development & Improving, there is NO need to TRAVEL outside of your immediate area or pay exorbitant fees to play (in most cases) in front of NO college coaches or scouts. Find the RIGHT TEAM FIT that allows you to get better & not chase clout or mirages

I know lots of parents need help picking the RIGHT AAU/CLUB team. If your son didn't play varsity this year, your focus should be on DEVELOPMENT not exposure or pretending to be on a "shoe team." Status won't get your son to his desired destination, work & getting better will !

Jumping straight into AAU after a long high school season is both unsafe & irresponsible. Programs that truly care about the mental and physical health of their players understand this. Rest & recovery are essential for real growth. Basketball should challenge athletes - but it shouldn’t be a nonstop, year-round marathon.

@mar5hallhoops Exactly. If they leave, trust that they are doing you a favor. If you can coach and develop guys this is no issue. Next man up

As a coach, if u are scared to coach cuz u are worried about a kid leaving your High School, AAU program, their trainer...then why are u here? Stay true to the game & the real ones will follow. If a family will leave cuz u are trying to better them,they were gonna leave for another reason anyways. Stay true to u!!!

@GregFBball Another over looked hooper who should have had multiple big west offers out of high school. Glad he’s doing well!

8 years on this journey with my guy Adrian McIntyre. From coaching him at Saugus to now D1 at USD. The obstacles, the times I had to remind him not to quit on himself, the calls I would get when he was in tears or just needed to vent, the late night and early morning workouts all got him where he is now. This is the best part about coaching. It’s this part right here.
