"Does [Shai] sell calls sometimes? Absolutely, but so do 287 other players in the NBA sell calls... When they weren't a championship contender... nobody was complaining. They're complaining now because they're winning."

10 truths every high school coach learns:
1. Adversity is coming
2. Every player is different
3. Winning isn’t everything
4. You can't please everyone
5. Parents have tunnel vision
6. Critics will be loud
7. The hours are long
8. The impact is real
9. A supportive spouse is a must
10. The memories? Unmatched
It’s hard. It’s worth it.
Coaching has this funny little problem:
everyone has a coach…
except the coach.
Athletes get pep talks.
Parents get explanations.
Admins get updates.
And we get—

We’re the ones who stay level
even when we don’t feel level.
We’re the ones who reset the room
even when we’re the ones who need the reset.
It’s not a complaint.
Just one of those parts of the job no one really talks about.
You pour into everyone.
But the job doesn’t pour back.
If you’ve felt that lately… yeah, same.
Coaching high school sports looks easy…
Until you’re the one in the chair.
Pressure. Politics. People problems.
