J Will has arrived at the stadium 90 minutes ahead of his daughter’s big elimination game against UCLA.
He paid for parking ($40) with a $100 and asked the attendant how long she’d been out in the 98 degree heat.
She said 5 hours now. He said keep the change.
Matthew McConaughey straight up defended ego on Theo Von's podcast and honestly kinda blew my mind.
He said ego gets trashed too much. There's the toxic "look at me" version, sure. But the real one? That inner "I" where you know you're prepared, capable, and willing to go for it. The confidence that comes from judging yourself harder than anyone else. Without that, you got no real identity or direction.
This hit me. I spent years thinking killing the ego was the move. Now I'm rethinking it. That healthy drive feels necessary.
We've gone from arrogant show-offs to everyone acting fake-humble. A balanced ego might be what actually keeps you grounded and moving forward.
Do you see ego as mostly toxic, or can the healthy version actually push you to be better?
Simple:
5 in 5
Clock starts at 19 or when you enroll at an NCAA institution whichever is first. Not when you graduate HS. Don’t punish accelerated kids that graduate early.
If you’re in a documentable curriculum where you don’t graduate HS until you’re 20 (like Netherlands), then you can submit for review.
Military exemptions still apply.
No regular redshirts.
Yes keep medical redshirts. Let’s not have keeps trying to play on partially torn whatevers and making bad health decisions since they can’t get a redshirt.
If you played in the NBA or G League, you’re done. G league is specifically associated with the NBA.
If you entered the NBA draft and were drafted and an NBA team owned your rights before sending you overseas, you’re done.
If you played in Europe, I don’t care for who or for how much as long as you fit in the clock window. We’re just hypocrites if we say a college player can make 500k but an Italian player can’t. They don’t have HS or college basketball in Europe. Pro is their only route to keep playing. Quit treating it any different.
In 2024, I joined the @Tyler_MBB team, led by Legendary Coach Mike Marquis, who fostered an elite basketball environment and family unity. I'm grateful for his mentorship, along with Coach @MitchMarquis1, and look forward to applying the valuable lessons I learned at @UTRGVmbb.

I don’t think yall heard me…..
I came from nothing. No dad. Sleeping on floor most my life. Sleeping in my car when started Dynasty. Watching my mom slave. Doing what I had to do to make sure we stay in a house. $20 to my name when I was 23….
I bought a fucking gym
Joe Mazzulla on the importance of building a culture that doesn’t depend solely on the head coach.
“You don't want to be the sole person controlling the environment. You almost want it to run better when you're not around because that's a testament of the people.”
If your culture only works when you’re watching, then you've merely just created compliance.
The best environments are sustained by the people and shared ownership inside them.

The journey has taken Kyle Getter to a national championship, an early retirement, a large FedEx tab and plenty through plenty of missed opportunities. Now, he's finally in his first head coaching job.

John Beilein's biggest mistake: Saying too much in the locker room after game.

This past Thursday marked the 20-year anniversary of former @TexasBaseball coach Augie Garrido’s famed postgame rant in the Longhorns’ locker room following a 6-0 loss to Nebraska. #HookEm
"We are not trying to repeat an outcome.
We are trying to repeat a process."
You don’t build dynasties by chasing results.
You build them by mastering the habits that produce them.
The scoreboard only reveals what the process already decided.
OK IM ONLY GOING TO SAY THIS ONE MORE TIME
Yes, your JUCO years still count against you.
That was only a blanket for one class of kids.
The NCAA has resisted any efforts by the NJCAA to discuss this any further.
STOP TELLING PLAYERS THEY DONT COUNT!!!!!
