Create a process that builds good/great habits!

[Steve Collins @TeachHoopsBBall]

Most teams aren't defeated by talent.
They're defeated by bad habits.

[Langston Wertz Jr. @langstonwertzjr]

Charlotte Catholic girls' soccer team became the No. 1 team in America Friday morning. Friday afternoon, the Cougars won a state title, to match the one the boys' team won last fall.

Don't forget the ultimate purpose of Sports!

Opinion | After the final scoreboard goes dark, what endures are friendships, family, loyalty, shared struggles, and lessons about teamwork. https://t.co/hkIUEXfjSM

The fastest way to destroy a culture is letting talent negotiate the standard.

A confused player is a slow player. Your job as a coach is to provide absolute clarity.

[Ben Johnson @coachbajohnson]

That was a pretty fun season @CoachBrookman !!!

[Jeff Brookman @CoachBrookman]

2012-2013...top 8 guys all from the Upstate. Straight to #1 NJCAA team in the country. Boiling Springs, Chesnee, SCA, TL Hanna, Hillcrest, Broome, Westside, Chapman all represented!!!

[Todd Shanesy @ToddShanesySHJ]

Ben Johnson was key to all-local rotation for a Spartanburg Methodist team that reached No. 1 in the country with a 30-0 record in 1995-96 and finished third under coach Jeff Brookman at the JUCO national tournament in Kansas. Boiling Springs product could really shoot the 3.

@WardYount @coachbajohnson How old does that make me then??? Ha

[Clemson Basketball @ClemsonMBB]

“I just think we have really good daily habits at Clemson Basketball. I think we work, we’re unselfish, we care about each other and we put team first.”

[Jeff Brookman @CoachBrookman]

So GOOD!

[Brian Kight @BrianKight]

A phrase coaches should repeat 1000x:

"Don't mistake good results for permission to abandon the process."

[Steve Collins @TeachHoopsBBall]

Great high school teams aren't built on highlight plays or viral moments.
They're built in empty gyms at 6 AM, on the 10th sprint of conditioning, and in the selfless decision to pass it up for a teammate's open shot.
The grind is unsexy, but it wins every time. --- 2

[Jeff Brookman @CoachBrookman]

Wait you are telling me one of the best shooters in the NBA and a top 1% shooter in the world DIPS the ball before the shot...that's crazy!!!

[Anthony Pugh @Anthony_Pugh2]

Levels to being a great shooter

GREAT shooters don’t hit the rim

[Jeff Brookman @CoachBrookman]

If you haven't worked on it during practice then yelling and screaming during the game to get your players to do something is not going to work very well!

[Jeff Brookman @CoachBrookman]

It makes no difference how talented your team is. You can't be GREAT if TEAM members do not SACRIFICE and they are only COMMITTED to themselves.

[Jon Gordon @JonGordon11]

To be a great team, every team member must give and also give up something. Commitment cost you but what you receive in return is so much greater. https://t.co/4hNpPlsruF

[Jon Beck @CoachJonBeck]

If someone sees you play a year from today, would they see any REAL difference? If not, you really need to evaluate your daily habits & off season work outs. Please don’t spend your entire off season doing the same thing you did last year & then come back the same player! Again!

[Coach James @CoachJamesJ]

If watching college basketball this past week has done anything, it should reaffirm your belief that efficiency and 3pt shooting is imperative to win in March. Below are the eFG % for each team in D1 and D2.

Lander 55%
Gannon 52.4%
Nova Southeastern 55.1%
Oklahoma Baptist 51.8%
Michigan 58.5%
Arizona 57%
Illinois 57%
UConn 53%

The lowest is Gannon who has shot over 1k 3s this year and made 9 per game, and OBU who shoots the 3 at almost 36% on the season. If they can’t make them as well, just shoot more.

Players if you want a BIG role on a team that plays late in March and April, be efficient and be able to SHOOT!
#MarchMadness

[Jeff Brookman @CoachBrookman]

Best thing about watching the Final Four...shooters coming off staggers,off flares,set back screens,moving and involved. I am biased I was a 3 pt shot maker. I hit 200 of my 266 made 3s off a simple bump of the flex screen. @DipMetress 3pt shooters make offense easy for everyone

[Jeff Brookman @CoachBrookman]

I may be crazy but...untucked jerseys don't bother me anymore and it shouldn't bother refs either!

This is the definition of TEAM. One of my favorite photos. Shoutout to the 2012-2013 Spartanburg Methodist Pioneers.
