I’ve spent all July at AAU tournaments and I think a lot of kids have the game confused. Basketball IQ Is definitely at an all time low. The best player on the floor will make everyone else around them better. It’s not about dropping 30 points or highlight tapes. If you’re talented, that stuff will take care of itself. High school recruitment is at an all time low right now so it’s more important than ever to know how to play the game the right way. Drive and kicks, advancing the ball, extra passes, communication, reading screen coverages, etc… For the kids: Ignore outside voices and trust your coaches who are preaching to you to play the right way.

Coach K was 38-47 his first 3 years at Duke & 13-29 in the ACC Jay Wright was 52-46 his first 3 years at Villanova & 21-27 in the Big East Great things take time. You need to be process driven, not results driven A proper foundation is much more important than instant success
