Luke Falk shared a Mike Leach story that stopped me cold:
Two kids. One rich. One poor.
Every training camp, Coach Leach told his team about these 2 kids.
The rich kid has two choices.
Get soft. Get entitled. Expect everything handed to him because he was handed more.
Or take the resources, the coaching, the opportunities, and compound them into something greater.
The poor kid has two choices too.
Say nobody gave him anything. Blame the world. Make his circumstances the reason he never became what he could have been.
Or outwork everyone in the room.
Luke said the locker room had both. Kids from wealth. Kids from nothing. Kids with every advantage. Kids who scraped for every inch.
Same choice for all of them.
Ownership or victimhood.
Fuel or excuse.
The rich kid can waste the head start or build on it.
The poor kid can drown in the deficit or weaponize it.
Greatness doesn't come from where you start.
It comes from which kid you choose to feed.

Not a lot of dribbling in the NCAA tournament.
A ton of CATCH AND SHOOT jumpers though — maybe go work on that more than anything.
Not sure how any player that is serious about improving & wanting to play at a high level doesn’t want to go shoot right now

Teachers, this is important. Regardless of what your administration says, put the March Madness games on today. They are core memories for kids. I can still remember exactly where I sat for certain games.
If you get in trouble it’s ok. They won’t fire you 😂

Sometimes..
I go see kids with mind blowing stats and walk away like “he’s not ready for our region”
I go see some kids with limited to no stats, and feel undoubtedly confident they will be successful in our region.
Stats are great but also it’s not the end all be all..

As an AD, I hear the term “their turn” or “their position,” and I remind people that everything in life is rented. If you don’t show up every day and produce, someone will take “your” spot.
That’s true in sports and in life.

As the HS girls basketball season winds down, all these conferences will be announcing their All Conference Teams.
I recently saw a local conference release their honors & here's a bit of advice for some of you HS coaches ...
1. A 1st Team All Conference player can win you a minimum of 4 conference games by THEMSELVES.
If your ONLY 2 conference wins are against a winless conference opponent, I'm sorry you DO NOT have a 1st Team All Conference player.
2. If the team you coach does not finish in the top 3 of the conference, you DO NOT have 4 all conference players!
Stop putting players up that are not deserving of honors.
Lastly & most importantly stop screwing over DESERVING players b/c you feel your player who put up big stats against the two worst teams in the conference is deserving of all conference honors because reality is THEY AREN'T!
When you are sitting in that All Conference meeting you can't say this stuff to the other coaches b/c they'll screw over your players & not vote for them.
It SHOULD BE SAID, so I said it for you coaches!

Coaches love switchable athletes that are able to guard 1-4 or even 1-5… this isn’t about HEIGHT or WEIGHT but pure capability to guard multiple spots - however possible
BE A GREAT DEFENDER.
…Daily Reminder to be a WINNER!
