Springfield Boys Basketball

Example of building a "Set Play Family"

Man, I just want Pau to go on a podcast and FLAME all these former Kobe teammates. He’s one of the main guys who can call them all out. Pau was considered a “soft Euro” when he played for the Grizzlies, and everyone said he wasn’t a winner. He came to the Lakers and they went to the Finals his first year. He got bullied by KG and Perkins in the ’08 Finals. The “soft” narrative continued. That summer, Kobe pushed Pau like he’d never been pushed before: early-morning training, late-night weight-room sessions, endless film sessions. Kobe verbally abused him daily in practice, calling him weak. How did Pau respond? He toughened up and stepped up. One of the greatest Laker playoff runs in ’09, then in ’10. He faced the Celtics again and not only held his own- he was DOMINANT. Kob was training DAWGS. Some stepped up and became champions. Others, 15 years later, went on a podcast and complained about Kobe’s leadership style✌️

This defensive rep is so unbelievably bad i can’t even begin to comprehend Why is Fland trailing Stirtz around the screen? Why does Lee jump forward for no reason instead of help? Why is the strong side 3 WIDE open? So so so bad i can’t believe it

The spring sports athletes and coaches have to be so mentally tough dealing with the weather. Going day to day not knowing if they will play that day or even get to practice outside. The Fall and Winter sports are basically immune from that.

Just sayin’. In the past two years, 11 of the 12 boys basketball state champs have been either Catholic, private or charter schools. Only exception Central Dauphin. And it’s 16 of 18 in three years.

Ben McCollum, NCAA Tournament win What does he look for in a recruit: “We want [guys] that have won in high school... they expect to win.... of the things that will get you out of our program.. moody, soft... lack of toughness kids." (Via @Outkick 🎥)

What did Wyoming's postgame locker room sounds like after a season-ending loss to Wichita State tonight in the NIT? “Every guy had to say something that they learned about themselves or about this team or about the process, because this is a waste, as coaches, it’s a waste if our guys aren’t learning more about themselves. "This is a journey of self. Self awareness. Who am I? More importantly, who am I not? What am I not going to compromise? What are the hard things that I had to grow through and that I had to go through and grow through to get to this point right now? "Reflect. Reflect on your journey. Reflecting on this season is going to be awesome for me, just from where we were last year to our growth points this year. "What an honor and privilege to be able to coach the University of Wyoming, but to also coach those men in that locker room.” -Sundance Wicks

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar shares the greatest lesson that Coach Wooden taught him about winning, losing, and effort. "There are disappointments for any competitive athlete because you can't win all the time." "Coach Wooden taught us that you can only come out and give your best effort. That's all you can do." Focus on what you can control. "The outcome is not determined by anything that you have control over. Only thing you have control over is your effort and then the effort of your group, your team." You can't control the outcome, but you can control your input and how you show up. "When you put together a good effort consistently, you have a chance to win." "As long as you put your best effort out there, you should be satisfied with that and not be down on yourself." Excellence is the habit and the mindset, not the destination. The goal is excellence in everything you do: Compete, commit, and always look to get better. (🎥 Academy of Achievement)

This quote is HEAVY “This is something to constantly remind young prospects. Be careful who you let in your circle. Check who’s there when things aren’t going your way and those are your true people” - Jared Czech, Merrimack Mens Basketball

This is an elite answer from Nebraska Guard, Cale Jacobson about diving on a loose ball up 35 “We have 15,000 (fans) that come to every home game. They're not coming to watch us let a ball go out of bounds." (Via @kevinsjuts 🎥)
