In player (and person) development, there are stages and timing to life. Demanding that a child runs before they can even walk doesn't make sense. It's June now and we see the best of the best. But they've been growing incrementally since September

Michigan found easy buckets in transition by leaking out the shooter's defender after every jumper, a strategy used by many teams in Europe. Given the way it stresses defenses and the way the shooter likely won't be involved on the offensive glass to punish, this could be something we see copied in the NCAA.
The one class that would get screwed over the worst of them all in this century. They didn't just play against 5th years. But 6th, 7th, and in some cases 8th year people.
They actually pay a ton of money to some company to come up with all that nonsensical "meaning" behind the pieces of the logo. And they shoulda kept the outside border when trying to call back to the Superman S

Luke Falk shared a Mike Leach story that stopped me cold:
Two kids. One rich. One poor.
Every training camp, Coach Leach told his team about these 2 kids.
The rich kid has two choices.
Get soft. Get entitled. Expect everything handed to him because he was handed more.
Or take the resources, the coaching, the opportunities, and compound them into something greater.
The poor kid has two choices too.
Say nobody gave him anything. Blame the world. Make his circumstances the reason he never became what he could have been.
Or outwork everyone in the room.
Luke said the locker room had both. Kids from wealth. Kids from nothing. Kids with every advantage. Kids who scraped for every inch.
Same choice for all of them.
Ownership or victimhood.
Fuel or excuse.
The rich kid can waste the head start or build on it.
The poor kid can drown in the deficit or weaponize it.
Greatness doesn't come from where you start.
It comes from which kid you choose to feed.
Credit to @coachlukefalk for continuing to share golden nuggets about Coachโs legacy
Gotta love the clown coaches complaining about โchaosโ if this passes. itโs all about โdeveloping young menโ right? but you donโt want the kid to have a 5th year becauseโฆwhy again? you spent your money on other kids and donโt want your former players to have an opportunity?
NCAA President Charlie Baker is pushing for the proposal to allow DI athletes five years of eligibility to be voted on as emergency legislation in May, with implementation the next month.
Baker is also in support of DI having a legal tampering window like we see in the NFL.
This is very under-rated. During the portal and in basketball recruiting in general:
"Because reputation compounds fast in this space. Agents talk. Schools talk. Players talk."
Reputation matters, and it spreads fast.
The basketball portal is closed.
This was my 3rd year navigating it from the NIL side at Utah State.
A few business principles that have made the biggest difference for us ๐
Reports say Iowa State transfer Audi Crooks is in for a $1.4 Million payday at Oklahoma State.
That would make Crooks the Third HIGHEST PAID Women's Basketball player IN THE WORLD this year (behind A'Ja Wilson & Aliyah Boston) (via @SkimMilkey)
Alabamaโs practice court
4pt line = donโt hug the 3 pt line & spacing
Blocks outside the 4 point line = โHouston spotsโfor spacing
Corner rectangles = transition & staying wide
Dotted line = shrinking the floor defensively
Larger box = no catch zone defensively
Smaller box = dunker spot

Iowa football was cited for tampering violations after HC Kirk Ferentz and assistant Jon Budmayr had impermissible contact with a player before he entered the transfer portal.
The NCAA issued penalties including one year probation, vacated records in which the student-athlete competed while ineligible, a $25K fine and recruiting restrictions.
