To be a head coach is to take the brunt of everything and stay on the high road……
Coach Michael Bailey retweeted
As an AD, my job is to bring in and retain coaches who can build, develop, and win. At the same time, good coaches want to be in environments where they have a real opportunity to succeed.
If a school’s vision does not prioritize winning or fails to provide the tools, support, and structure needed for success, it will struggle to attract and retain high level coaches. Talented coaches are intentional about where they invest their time and energy.
Winning is not about cutting corners or doing it at all costs. It is about alignment. When you have strong coaches, the right resources, and a clear commitment to success, those pieces work together. When everyone is not aligned, the culture is poisoned. That alignment is what builds a sustainable, competitive program.

I’ll always stand by this phrase that a mentor once told me about certain coaches… “ I can go where it’s all Cadillac and do your job, but 1 day in my shoes and you’d fold” … The more I coach the more I believe that statement everyday
Alot of times in TXHSFB people gas up certain HSFB coaches that have the best infrastructure into thinking it's them versus the infrastructure.
When it comes to TXHSFB it's more about the infrastructure than the coach. It's alot of great coaches stuck with bad infrastructure making it pop. I respect those coaches over the ones that get hype for being in the right system. But act like it's them that's making it pop 🗑️ 👎🏾.

“Administrations win championships. Coaches win games… if you’re not totally into it and they’re not committed, you’re not winning. You just can’t.”
True at the high school level as well…

“When you allow your children to grow up it’s a direct, direct reflection of your parenting. If you hover over them all the time and they can’t work through problems, they’re going to have some issues. You’ve got to let them work through problems because they’re working through the things you’ve instilled in them,” Dawn Staley

Incredible take from Charles Barkley on Tom Izzo:
"The media, who don't know anything about sports, say 'Why is he yelling his players?' That's called coaching... if parents & friends get mad because you're getting yelled at, get better parents & better friends."

I learned the most about how to play basketball when I played with grown men on Friday and Saturday mornings.. 7am-10am every week from 6th grade through HS
If you didn’t pass & cut, screen away, play defense, move without the ball or take the correct shots, you sat & watched

People make all the reasons they can think as to why DFW has had success in sports but it boils down to lifestyle.
Yes there are other factors, but the biggest one is that competition is brutal starting young and people take sports serious starting young.
Some of my closest friends raise their families in DFW. You got college athletes raising their kids in environments where competition is high and training/working several times per week is the bare minimum.
