Congratulations to Maper Maker for his commitment to @razorbackmbb. It’s been a pleasure to coach him for the last 3 years in Australia at St. George Basketball Association & last year in AAU w AUNZPrep. He brings offensive & defensive versatility to #Razorbacknation.#gohogs🐗!

@GroadBballHS @D_West30 @garnerroad @GRoadBBallGR @hoopdreamsbball @lilwilliegee Well said @D_West30. I would also add there’s been an accumulation of talent playing all year round together and it great for the game most part. What is becoming missing is the chance to carry weight. Not just the weight of the team but the weight of your local community and hs.

This is a ridiculous set

You know how hard it is to get this open of a layup against a defense this good?

Coaching matters

This is a sick set because of A. How it used Goulding’s gravity as a shooter to cause that momentary confusion when he’s used as the screener and B. You can see Loe setting up to screen for the screener (CG) as the secondary action if the back cut isn’t there. Loved this.

Problems start with the unwillingness to speak or hear the truth. The conversations you’re afraid to have are the ones you need to have, because the conversations you avoid today cause your problems tomorrow.

Very sad news with the passing of Dikembe Mutombo. As an African who relocated to the US as a youth, when Dikembe joined the Georgetown Hoyas he was a huge inspiration to me. He was bigger than basketball in his humanitarian efforts in saving and changing lives. Rest in Peace.

Coaches: You’ve probably seen this before, but this is a “defensive progression chart” that I used to keep track of our drills throughout the season. No, we didn’t use every drill every day. But it kept us on track as we built the defense throughout the preseason & season.

This play will get you layups.
