2026 MONTANA ELITE INVITATIONAL We’re back for year 4! The premier high school basketball event in Montana returns Memorial Day weekend for another great year with some of the top prospects in the state. Rosters coming soon!

A bad shot is a turnover. It kills momentum and drains the energy of the four other players on the floor. Treat it with the same seriousness.

The Parent Poison… Most parents want the best for their kids. But sometimes, without realizing it, they slowly poison the very team their child is part of. It rarely starts with something dramatic. It starts small. A comment in the car ride home. “Why didn’t the coach play you more?” A comparison. “You’re better than that kid.” A quiet complaint at the dinner table. “That coach doesn’t know what he’s doing.” Kids hear everything. And when they hear it, something changes. Doubt creeps in. Blame grows. Trust fades. The mindset shifts from team first to me first. What begins in the living room eventually shows up in the locker room. You see it in body language. You hear it in conversations. You feel it in the culture. Instead of unity, there are whispers. Instead of accountability, there are excuses. Instead of growth, there is resentment. Great teams cannot survive that environment. Because the best teams are built on three things: Trust. Sacrifice. Shared purpose. When players start believing the problem is everyone else, those things disappear. Parents play a powerful role in a team’s culture whether they realize it or not. The healthiest teams have parents who: Support the program. Encourage resilience. Teach their kids to handle adversity. They remind their children: Work harder. Be a great teammate. Control what you can control. They don’t feed excuses. They build character. And here’s the truth most people miss: A parent’s influence extends far beyond their own child. It affects the locker room. It affects the culture. It affects the entire team. Great teams require unity, not whispers of criticism. So the challenge for parents is simple. Be the adult in the room. Guard your words. Model respect. Support the team. Because what starts at home always finds its way onto the court, the field, or the locker room. And the best parents don’t poison the culture. They protect it.

𝑴𝑨𝑹𝑪𝑯 Your Fighting Saints are headed to Chandler, Ariz. as a 10-seed to take on (7) Wayland Baptist in the First Round of the @NAIA MBB Championship! #MARCHon | @CCSAINTSMBB

🏀Official NAIA MBB Bracket! Congrats to the 64 teams who made it in!! naia.org/sports/mbkb/20…

Loyalty, community buy-in, watching a player develop over 4-5 years. Not to mention program legacies that will become less and less. You can see it with programs getting 100 fans, the blandness of Twitter when “I’d like to thank, but I’m entering the portal,” is shared. Hard clap the programs who are hyper focused on retention, development and allowing those athletes to feel lasting effects of the slow-burn of staying at a program. It’s special and it’s one of the best things a player could go through.

A high school basketball team’s culture starts with the coach—but is owned by the players. If they take pride in showing up early, holding each other accountable, and outworking their opponents—you’ve already won. Everything else is just details.
