Two coaches.
Two completely different styles.
One championship stage.
Dan Hurley and Dusty May couldn’t appear more different.
Hurley is loud, fiery, and unapologetically intense. He coaches with passion on full display—every possession, every call, every moment.
May is calm, measured, and composed. He leads with poise—steady, deliberate, and rarely rattled.
One is expressive and animated.
The other is reserved and calculated.
And yet… both are elite.
Both are brilliant tacticians.
Both are masterful recruiters.
Both have built championship cultures.
And most importantly—both LOVE their players… and their players love them right back.
That’s the lesson.
There is no ONE way to lead.
Not in basketball.
Not in business.
Not in life.
Leadership isn’t about copying someone else’s style. It’s about owning your style.
Your personality.
Your strengths.
Your voice.
Because authenticity builds trust.
And trust builds teams that win.
Don’t try to lead like Hurley.
Don’t try to lead like May.
Lead like you.
Florida Senate passes "Teddy Bridgewater Act," which would allow high-school coaches to spend up to $15,000 of their own money for player meals, transportation, and recovery services. https://t.co/3h5Yk5968L
There is a perceived tradeoff between going for offensive rebounds and giving up transition looks to the opposing team. But, this season, the Rockets have one of the lowest transition rates after missed baskets despite (or maybe because of 🫨) them having the highest OREB rates.
Steve Kerr’s advice to parents of young athletes
”Keep your mouth shut… How can you possibly play at 10 years old when you’ve got 12 people yelling at you? Just be supportive because they’re going to feel so much more comfortable if you do that.”

The MN Fury program sends our condolences to Tom, his family, and the @D1Minnesota basketball program. Been doing this a long time and did a great job. Put together some of the best teams in aau. Was always a kind and respectful person to talk with. He will be missed.
"Democrats are going to be able to very successfully pin this and the behavior of Donald Trump together to create an incredibly compelling argument for throwing a lot of bums out of office." - @DKThomp to @Timodc on the latest Bulwark Podcast
There are THOUSANDS of protests planned for June 14th all over the country to send a message to Donald Trump that no one wants his birthday military parade in DC that will cost taxpayers millions. #NoKingsProtest

Advice I give all young NBA players -
Find someone who will look you in the eye every damn day and tell you what’s not good enough.
Make sure that person will not bend, compromise, or run when it comes to demanding your best.
Steve Kerr wore a Gregg Popovich tshirt in salute of his retirement from coaching. Kerr said, “It’s a day but it’s an encouraging day.” Kerr said he was “mixed emotions” and called it an “emotional day.” Kerr added that he loved him and saw him three weeks ago in San Antonio.
There’s a trend not only at Syracuse but all over college sports of fans bashing players who are transferring. You don’t know what goes on behind closed doors or what is being conveyed to the players by the coaches. It’s not always because the players want to leave #MarchMadness
With tonight’s win, John Oxton earned his 700th career victory as a head coach. He’s the sixth coach ever in Minnesota to reach that milestone.
Congrats, Ox!
