@mar5hallhoops like repost PINNED..... there are levels to this

@CrosbyJonathon And many of the HS coaches equal or more guilty. Some AAU guys do keep it real.

Yall noticing all these top of class athletes are hitting transfer portals. I believe some of this comes when aau teams and coaches let them do whatever they want. Once they make it to organized ball they have a issue falling into there role. This will continue to be a issue till leadership takes control at a young age if mom and dad isn't happy their kid is seeing bench time let them leave. You have to be the first person in there life to show them true diversity.

@reidouse This coach has had limited success in subsequent years. if we could watch 20 ball players in a gym for about 20 minutes - I’d let him choose his first 5 players and my team could beat brakes off him. There are grandmas in the stands that are better than some of these guys.

A coach who thinks they have all the answers is the most dangerous person in the gym. The best coaches are relentless learners.

@reidouse Had a coacj tell me once that he put 29 players in D1 (as an assitant). Asked me how many I had? Zero I said (don’t coach for a living). He’s a “development” guy that chased single moms to their cars at AAU tourneys begging their sons to come play for his high school team

@MATurner502 One year Coach Cal tracked hockey assists at Kentucky. They weren’t necessarily tracking who had the most… They were tracking who had the fewest. Those were the ball stoppers

@HoopsPlex @VandyMBB @CycloneMBB @HPUMBB @UVAMensHoops @CBSSports @247Sports @On3 @SLAM_HS @Revocruit @WootenTop150BB Very good point. SM puts a value on scoring. That’s all the highlights you see. Never really any passes or read highlights. So they have to go big or go home just to get some love sometimes. Even if they are impacting winning. I like that point.

And usually the same ones that use a heavy does of the following words accountability transparency translates truth

The coach who complains about "kids these days" is the one who has failed to adapt their communication. The kids haven't changed; the world has. Evolve.

@prospectu_gee @VandyMBB @CycloneMBB @HPUMBB @UVAMensHoops @CBSSports @247Sports @On3 @SLAM_HS @Revocruit @WootenTop150BB Any guard that doesn’t know when to get rid of the ball is a problem, regardless of size. The problem, though most of the time is that underside guards think they have to do extra to make up for their lack of size.

Small guards aren’t the problem… bad evaluation is. March keeps exposing it. Skill > Size. Always. open.substack.com/pub/prospectus… #ProspectU #MarchMadness

@amuse They have quit calling it in college have noticed it this year, especially

SPORTSBALL: Did they change the traveling rules in basketball? This feels a lot like WWE.

@therandomsec Chris Beard

Top 5 most unlikeable coaches in college basketball: 1. Kevin Willard 2. Mick Cronin 3. Nate Oats 4. Dan Hurley/Bobby Hurley 5. Todd Golden Thoughts?

@BrickCenter_ Don’t call it in college anymore either. Unbelievable how many guys travel off the catch and drag their pivot foot

There's no such thing as traveling in the NBA anymore. Jalen Green took SIX steps in a 1-point game with 25 seconds left... no call 😭

BYU paid $7 million to AJ Dybantsa. He led the nation in scoring. Cool. They finished 10th in the Big 12 and were a 6-seed in the NCAA Tournament after losing a key guard to injury. They lost to an 11-seed Texas team that finished 10th in the SEC. Is that NIL $ well spent?

Miami OH so fun to watch... so unselfish.. exploit every small advantage via the pass!!

@Cerrone_Battle Go euro league route. Half the games and they are more meaningful + better basketball.

This is why expansion is a freaking terrible idea. 8 teams won't reach 25 wins and even some good teams have G- league talent in their rotation. League should do the opposite and drop down to 24 teams like the 80's. Deeper rosters, competitive hoop = better product.

@coachrowe20 The only way to roll. You cant out athlete ‘em every time

Miami of Ohio is what college bball should be about. Just a group of kids that play together and know how to play. They are very well coached and they have no fear. The 1 thing stood out to me was their ability to rotate on defense. The communication was special. Fun to watch

Miami wisely doubling SMU’s 5’5” Boopie Miller.

Let’s definitely add 2 more teams

@Lassimak @jorcubsdan @dallasnews Look for sophomore Chance Puryear of Dallas Carter to see minutes tonight.

SMU guard BJ Edwards will not play tonight in the First Four vs. Miami (Ohio), a person familiar with the decision told @dallasnews.
