My hope is that every athlete I coached, understood that while I sought to bring out their best, I also was one of the people who cared about them the most.

Luka's Lakers!
The Lakers score 125 points in the first 3 games of a season for the first time in franchise history!
Luka Doncic joins Elgin Baylor (2x) and Jerry West as the only Lakers players with 50 points and 10 assists in a game! 🔥
After today’s victory over the Titans Browns coach Todd Monken: “That was a fun one. Never looks the same but feels the same.”
A win is a win, enjoy them!

Todd Monken got the Browns looking like a real team.
John Harbaugh got the Giants with JJ Mcarthy playing good football.

Head football coaches most important task on game day is managing critical situations:
- 4th down decisions
- clock management including kicks
- time out usage
- kick XPT or go for 2
Like a chess master, winning requires a HFC thinking multiple moves ahead.
"Coach Scalley knows every single one of us," veteran safety Nate Ritchie said. "He knows our birthday and names and cares about all of us. Asks us question about how he can improve. He's a service-led leader and asks, "How can I be better?'" Great stuff @RSNBUtes 🫡
"I believe love is stronger than fear." A look at the evolution of Utah football under Morgan Scalley -- two QBs, dancing every day and the coach buzzing around on a motorized scooter/suitcase. For the 6-0 Utes, a simple question has guided them: "Are there ways we can do it better?" espn.com/college-football/st…
Ben Johnson asked Santos if he wanted it and when he said yes, Coach trusted his kicker to make a career long kick after missing one already. #coach2win

"I think your job as a coach is to create an environment where your players have an opportunity to be successful and then get out of their way.
We're in the solution business. If you're a really good football coach, you are really good at solving problems"

Instead of asking God, why this is happening? Instead, ask God, what do you want me to learn from this?
Analytics don’t take into account:
Current weather
Current injury situation
Momentum
Matchup - for example opponent is the top run/pass defense.
Analytics are a tool not a be all end all.
Kyle Shanahan says a 51% analytics recommendation won’t convince him to go for it because he gets one shot, not an hour at a blackjack table
“I don’t want to hear about it if it’s 51% of the time we should go for it.”
“As I always say, I’m not sitting here playing Blackjack for an hour with no one else at the table, and eventually I’ll get 51% of it. Like, I have this one try, and I have a feel for it. I’ve been doing it too long.”
“But what I want to know from him, when it’s not a feel, when it, no, this is 98%. We don’t even need to talk about it. So we don’t need to talk about it. Tell me when it’s that, and I’ll just do it.”
“To understand a problem that seems impossible to solve, look beyond the obvious explanations and question the assumptions everyone else takes for granted.”
