Philadelphia is a Basketball Town! I’ll say this to any college coach, The InterAC Basketball League rivals any in the area (PA, NJ, DE). There are multiple scholarship level and collegiate level athletes from high academic settings. Great players, good coaching, Great 🏀
Just a few players I’ve seen NOT get a single D1 offer:
A 2000 point career high school scorer
A Mr. Basketball Winner
State leader in 3-pts shots made
6’9” starter on a state Final 4 team
It’s REALLY hard to get a D1 offer!

@TweetsbyCoachP The entire team lining up at the free throw line and watching one person shoot free throws is 100% overused
Underutilized would be Blue Jay drill. Kids need more rebounding and toughness drills

Working extremely hard to ensure there are plenty of college coaches at all levels in the building for the @1stStateSports 🏀fall showcase games. Want our kids to be seen and build relationships. Positive exposure!
The benefits of well-managed high school athletics:
1. Sports teams serve as the front porch and brand of the school. They are the reason for a school mascot, school song, and pep rallies. Sports create tradition.
2. Athletics serve as the largest and most successful at-risk program for a school. Playing sports provides purpose, discipline, motivation, and structure for those who may not get it at home. Sports requires successful academic performance to be eligible.
3. The local community connects with the school district through sports. Athletes are discussed and celebrated in the local newspaper, on the radio, and on the news.
4. Fundraising: Booster clubs raise money providing everything from meals and uniforms to facility enhancements and travel expenses.
5. The student experience for non-athletes is enhanced because of athletics. The student body comes together to cheer and support their school enhancing school unity and togetherness. The band, cheerleaders, dance team, choir, and others have increased opportunities and a platform to showcase their talents on game days.
6. Sports creates and enhances tradition. Alumni come back for homecoming games and more to support and feel connected with their past. This valuable engagement enhances school support and creates fundraising opportunities.
7. Sports teach accountability to athletes. Playing requires successful academic performance to be eligible.
8. Athletics is the reason for a school mascot, school song & pep rallies.
Don’t be the player who is too cool to go hard. Whether in a workout or a game, 100% is the bare minimum. Cool has no place in the game. Cool won’t impress anyone, won’t get you more playing time, won’t ever get you better. Cool will keep you on the bench. Cool will get you beat!
The @NFHS_Org announces that it's eliminating one-and-ones in HS basketball, going to five team fouls per quarter and the bonus being two FTs. Team fouls reset each quarter.
@ChrisAbaray Ran different variations of system 2nd half of year. Buy in seems better with 2-3 defense (more Marymount styled) since it’s more reminiscent to “traditional” fast paced ball. Definitely great principles to take away for transition offense no matter your team’s system
