“Any great player wants to be coached hard.
Coaches take players to levels they can’t take themselves.
What great player doesn’t want to be coached hard?”
Being coachable means caring more about getting better than being right.
Really looking forward to seeing what DeWayne Brown II can do in Year 2 at Tennessee.
At 6’8”, 250, Brown is a physical specimen who uses his strength to carve out position, attack the glass and set rock-solid screens.
But the flashes beyond the physicality are what really intrigue me.
He moves well defensively, consistently slides into the right help positions to wall up or challenge shots, and showed encouraging touch out of the short roll as both a scorer and playmaker.
4.8 PPG | 3.6 RPG in 14.7 MPG as a freshman.
Year 2 should be fun.
“The most important person they’ll ever have in their life is a coach that holds them accountable on a daily basis. Teaches them work ethic, sacrifice, teamwork,” Dan Hurley
Great coaches develop your character and prepare you for life.
It’s not easy to play for winning coaches. They’ll hold you accountable, push you beyond your comfort zone, demand excellence, and expect you to respond when things get hard. There will be days when you’re frustrated, uncomfortable, and challenged.
But for the athletes who are willing to embrace it, it’s worth it. Winning programs aren’t built by avoiding adversity - they’re built by learning how to overcome it.
“Failure is not our destination. When you get knocked on your butt, get up. When you get up, whatever you’re going to do, maybe you need a team to do it with. That’s where I started learning about winning and winning as a team,” Mike Krzyzewski
WIN TOGETHER.

Less sayings FOR your Players.
More sweating WITH your Players !
Seriously. They can get the sayings reading the locker room signs or On-Line.
They can watch motivational tapes later.
Get them better by being INVOLVED and INVESTED in it with them.
Someone please reach out and find this real MOTHER for me PLEASE! She handled that the old school way and I want to speak to her because this blessed me to watch.
When Leah finally had her fourth son, she named him Judah, which means “praise.” But it comes from the Hebrew word yadah, which means “to lift one’s hands” AND “to throw something away.”
Leah was saying, “I am throwing away the need for Jacob to validate me. I am throwing away
the pain and the anxious attachment. I am letting it go.” What do you need to throw away today? The need to be liked? The desire to impress people? The fear that you aren’t valuable? Lift your hands to God, and throw those burdens away. 🙌🏽

My high school basketball coach used to tell parents
“I can’t promise your kid will get the same amount of playing time. But I can promise he’ll get the same amount of coaching”
He’s in the Michigan High School Coaching Hall of Fame for a reason
