Great To See Ex-Falcon Doing Big Things!!

False information. D2 is an unbelievable level, but JUCO is built for players to transfer. It sets you up academically and athletically. You also have a coaching staff helping you transfer, not trying to talk you into staying.

Joe Mazzulla explained why he often credits others rather than himself. Worth a listen:

“I think being a D1 basketball player, you grow up with this sense of entitlement, as if the whole world revolves around you. And…if I wanted to be a better husband, a better father, a better coach, I had to get rid of that type of entitlement.”

PSA: Go to the coach or school that wants you and believes in you. Don’t be transactional.

At High Point, Flynn Clayman runs his staff differently.

Instead of assistants doing a little bit of everything, he assigns coordinators:

One owns offense.
One owns defense.
One owns special teams.

Not traditional. But intentional.

Because when everyone is responsible for everything… no one truly grows.

Clayman learned this from his mentors. When he was trusted to run the offense, it accelerated his development. So now, he does the same for his staff.

Yes, you give up some control.
But you gain clarity, ownership, and better coaching.

Assistants aren’t just helping anymore.
They’re leading.

And when coaches grow, the team grows.
Build a staff where people can specialize, own their role, and thrive, not just survive.
Are you asking your people to do everything… or putting them in positions to be great at something?
