Basketball is not an equal opportunity sport. Certain players get to take certain shots.

Teach that early. Don't apologize for it.

[Reid Ouse @reidouse]

The coach is coaching 15 kids. You're focused on one. See the difference in perspective?

The player who avoids the weight room in the offseason will be the player who gets hurt during the season.

Top tier response from a college coach that I had to share…
This is straight from the source: they’re not recruiting talent alone — they’re recruiting discipline, accountability, effort, and character.

Still available college coaches! Don’t overthink it.

[Coach AJ 🎯 Mental Fitness @coachajkings]

Billy Donovan shares a lesson that changed how his players thought about winning.

At Florida, he had a manager track how long the ball was in each player's hands during a game.

He asked one of his starters: "How many minutes do you think you had the ball in your hands for the game?"

The player said 15 minutes when he had played 30.

The real numbers?
"A backcourt player, for the most part, is probably 92% of the game gonna be played without the ball in their hands. A frontcourt player - 95% of their minutes is gonna be played without the ball in their hands."

Think about that. You're playing without the ball almost the entire game.

"It's amazing to me how many players focus on points, points, points. That's what goes on ESPN. That's what gets the highlights."

"But if you're gonna strictly talk about winning and you're really driven and motivated by winning and competing and being a good teammate, you have to look at the fact is -- what am I doing with my 92, 93, 94, 95%?"

"Am I screening? Am I running the floor? Am I on the floor for loose basketballs? Am I rebounding? Am I taking a charge?"

"There's so many ways to impact the game with the amount of time you're on the floor when the ball's not in your hands."

This is what separates good players from winning players.
You control how you show up.
You control your attitude.
You control your effort.

Great teammates master what they do when no one's watching - and when the ball isn't in their hands.

Winning isn't about the glamour. It's about the 95%.

Colorado Collective 17U advances to the S16 of the @PRO16League @NxtProHoops finals with this buzzer beater!

2026 6’7 Noah Sevy has a silky smooth jumper at his height, rising over the defense, nearly impossible to contest, including off the bounce

Player of the game: @LukasMcCanna55

2027 6’10 Lukas McCanna physically dominant throughout this game, using his size to finish looks through defenders close to the basket and repeatedly getting his hands on the rim and throwing it down.

@COCollective303 @NxtProHoops

[BenDennettHoopsViews @Ben_Dennett]

6'7" Noah Sevy '26 has a high level offensive tool kit. He's a great catch and shoot guy. He's got enough agility to beat bad close outs. With his length he can make plays in the paing.
@Noah_Sevy @COCollective303 @NxtProHoops

[Colorado Collective Basketball @COCollective303]

@NBA_Jeremy1 @NxtProHoops He’s actually a ‘27!

Great work today Mirko (Lukas)!

[AJ @NBA_Jeremy1]

‘26 6’10 Mirko McCanna is a force around the rim on both ends. Massive big man that plays with high level physicality
