I tweet/X/say this as my own person not linked to the school or conference I’m under, but @ohioBKcoaches hears the coaches and @OHSAASports says no thank you. Everyone should boycott their “shot clock events” til all of the events are that way. Make it make sense Doug.

@IndianaFever Hines-Allen and Dauntas g2g. I’ll settle if it’s just Hines-Allen.

@JamesMooney09 @GregBerge 💯💯 OR you are a transformational coach but because you don’t have the scoreboard wins the administrators/hiring committees don’t see a record worth hiring. Hard double standard to live in. I could have won more by lowering program standards for kids behaviors, but won’t do it!

@GregBerge 💯💯 with you. But as a coach, you want and sometimes need validation that only winning can do. How many parents and administrations will look past wins and losses? Believe me, the transformational piece is always the “why” as a coach, but wins play a major role unfortunately

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.

My daily feels as an American with a first amendment right… but also the unspoken creed to be marketable and not do anything to “hurt your career”/speak truth. Each year HS hoops is worse. Even saying that, I licked the tape!

It is the job of the assistant coach to solve problems before the head coach even knows there’s a problem.

🙃🤷🏻‍♀️🙃

Got roasted and toasted by my 2 year old nephew today. Me: Noah, where’s my hug? Noah: in the garbage can 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

@DrewFladung A short preview of a Colerain matchup 😭

🔥

Aari McDonald not being on a roster is just mind boggling over here.

Maybe it’s the OSU alum in this coach, maybe it’s the defense first mentality, maybe it’s the nonstop motor, maybe it’s the family ties to special education we share, but dang… I love to see her shine again!!

@CoachTMonahan Don’t know how they let you go coach! From our short time coaching together I knew you were one of the good guys! Best of luck in the future!!

Thank you @ohioBKcoaches Very well done and it was great to be presented this award along w/ Coach Cogan receiving his #400 win award! Great coach and a great friend. Did an outstanding job for @CarrollBoysBB Congrats to the other Bob Arnzen winners. @gclcoedsports

This is what having D1 semi finals in a high school gets you. Standing room only and a line to get in even if already have a ticket. Good work @OHSAASports

Loving how Pick Central is getting after it on missed shots with O boards and natural traps! Controlling pace and boards!

Mason and Springboro are elite! They have the benches to back up a game with lots of fouls. Interesting to see how tomorrow’s game will be called!

And this, right here, is why I am a virtual SLP now 🙃

Colerain 55 East 52 Lakota East was 12-3 in the GMC coming into the game. HUGE win for the girls program! Alana Miller led the way with 18 points. Abby Meyer can coach. Don’t let her get away this spring Colerain…

At the end… tugs at my heart ❤️

Life has been BUSY the last couple weeks! Had to check up on my college ladies out there doing big things! Proud coach

These two are some of the greatest people/coaches I’ve met so far that are for the kids and nothing else!!
