Five years after being fired, Dayton’s Anthony Grant is the Naismith Coach of the Year. It’s a reminder that a rough stretch doesn’t have to be a defining stretch — and that good things can indeed follow bad ones, writes @GaryParrishCBS.

The more coaches of color that get legitimate opportunities, the more chances they will have to do what these two outstanding coaches of color have done. We should not be surprised by this, because black coaches can coach also.
Players: If your coach holds you accountable, you are VERY fortunate. A lot of coaches accept their players doing whatever they want, whenever they want with no consequences. Discipline, responsibility & accountability are life prep! If your coach cares that much, respect it!
Accountable...
Unfortunately in todays game, players and parents don't want to accept this.
Let's get our boys back on the floor,
and make Lincoln Park Great Again, our school is not what you're reading and seeing on TV and Social media
The Power of Sports Changes Lives......
Players: Remember, coaches DO play favorites. They play those who are tough, skilled, competitive, play hard every game, are accountable, don’t complain, accept roles/coaching, make no excuses & are capable. Ultimately, coaches play kids who give the team the best chance to WIN!
Coaches need to provide a sense of inclusiveness and help each player feel a part of the team. However, this doesn’t mean you should tolerate slackers or bad teammates. You should push everyone to reach the same standards.
Highlights from the Orr Breast Cancer shootout, 2022 Guard Chikere Nwosu w the game winning 3 as time expires, this is a very resilient group of young men, despite the Adversity they have been going thru they keep finding ways to Win.
Thanks for having us, @OrrSpartanBBall
