"Yeah, I’m going to try to win the national championship next year.
But I’m not going to kill myself doing it.
I’m not going to kill my players either.
You really start to realize there’s a lot more to what we’re trying to do than winning games"
– Geno Auriemma
Coaching is like parenting.
Sometimes you have to tell a player what they need to hear, not what they want to hear.
You don’t need the ball in your hands to make an impact on the court.
Box out.
Set screens.
Cut hard.
Be ready to help.

"If a coach is determined to stay in the coaching profession, he will develop from year to year.
This much is true, no coach has a monopoly on the knowledge of basketball.
There are no secrets in the game.
The only secrets, if there are any, are good teaching of sound fundamentals, intelligent handling of men, a sound system of play, and the ability to instill in the boys a desire to win"
- Adolph Rupp
"If you want to be a great shooter from 25 feet, you better be a great shooter from 4 feet first"

How to build shooting confidence:
1. Shoot a lot.
2. See the basketball go in the hoop a lot.
