Clip from Vice Sports of Rick Pitino at halftime of the St. John's game at Providence. #sjubb was down big, and rallied to win.

Extremely impressed with @ColoradoLive_SS last weekend. The event ran like a well-oiled machine in only its 2nd year. Its great to have people like @CoachBurton13 and co. pushing and developing the Colorado Hoops scene forward. Can’t wait to see what they do next year!

D1 is no longer the requirement to sign Overseas. Nowadays, players of all backgrounds - from D3 to NAIA - can be successful. This isn’t wishful thinking. But a fact. Here’s a few examples to prove it. 🧵 🏀

I asked Jokic about this at training camp today and he gave a fascinating answer. “I think if you want to be good you need to be a fanatic.”
I referenced this interview on the @DNVR_Nuggets podcast today. Jokic surprised Obradovic (Phil Jackson of Euroleague) when he told him that he watched his seminar. He also pointed out a detail in one of Obradovic’s games and suggested an adjustment that Obradović has since implemented.

Watching: ball movement, hit ahead passes, alley oops Coaching: strategy, learning opposing coaches calls on the fly and making adjustments Playing: Catching someone with a pump and go, hittin a 3 in someones eye, putting the defender on their ass
What’s your favorite thing about basketball?

Youth Coaches really do a disservice to players pulling them after a single mistake. Wins don’t matter at any level below Varsity, and not at all in the Summer. Focus should be on development. If your ego can’t take a loss you are in the wrong industry.
