You’re the best Coach. Your impact is forever.
Most players won’t play professionally, and that was never the point. Basketball is the training ground, not the destination.
Hours in the gym quietly teach you to take feedback without falling apart, perform when things are uncomfortable, read a situation quickly, and win and lose without letting either define you. Players also learn to keep going when progress is slow, to be useful inside something that isn’t about them, and to belong to something bigger than themselves.
None of it shows up in the box score, but all of it shows up for the next sixty years. Those skills only grow if the player stays in the game long enough for them to take hold, and that’s why the adults matter so much. Our job is to teach the game well and to make sure they’re still in the gym next season.

Imagine Dwight Powell being available alongside Kelly Olynyk for the SMNT 🇨🇦🏀 for Canada Basketball in the FIBA WC Qualifiers winter windows...... 👀

Dwight Powell 🇨🇦🏀 ran with Dirk Nowitzki, Luka Doncic and Cooper Flagg. I guess we know who the real King of Dallas is eh?

Kelly Olynyk could potentially be available for SMNT duties with the "Winter Core" with his BC Roma signing. KO is such a Canada Basketball lifer. I love it. 🇨🇦🏀

Did an interview with Elias back in August where he talked about his journey from USport to playing in summer league. Has a bright future ahead of him, puts in the work and everything falls into place. Looking forward to seeing what this could turn into!

Here's the other interview with CE, with Marty Ice @TheMattyIreland @CanadaHoopsPod Also check the one from @ahoopsjourney with @AARON_MITCHELL_
I remember live, 28 years ago, hearing of the "white ghost" from Jane-Finch (Toronto ) ballers I hooped with at York U about what CE did at a game back in time... throwing down on a 7 footer in the hood, and the gym erupted -chairs thrown on the court, police present - I already knew! I hooped against him in a mens league in Gander, NL when he must have been in 11th grade or so, and I knew then what was what. It was cool to follow him back in the day at Hawaii, training camp w/Indiana Pacers, and when he was tearing up the Spanish league. Many said he was the best player in the world not in the NBA.
One of the greatest stories in basketball history is of Carl. If you've never been to Newfoundland back in the late 90s you just cannot understand properly the adversity to ascend as he did, with the hand he and his family was dealt as well. I respect him.

Olynyk travelled with the Spurs to France in August when Wemby arranged team practices over there.
"Siegel says he wouldn’t be surprised if the veteran forward/center ends up re-signing with the Spurs as their 15th man, though he may have to be willing to wait until during the season if that’s the plan."

Rewatched the Canada vs Argentina game and it's very clear that Mfiondu Kabengle will be a key piece for the SMNT 🇨🇦 🏀 in the FIBA WC in 2027. Any offense from him is 💰. Just really need Kab to screen and rim run. And I still think Kelly Olynyk has a role for the team as well.
