Those who know me well have been a part of these lists for years!
We’ve had debates. Many arguments. Near fist-fights over some topics.
But there has always been more to it than just the rankings.
Using as a countdown to 2027, will reveal some these favorites periodically in hopes that it will bring 2-3 minutes of escape from your busy days.
If helps you find perspective of context, develop a habit, become better organized, or find criteria in your beliefs… that will be a bonus…
Will also leave you each time with a favorite nugget of wisdom from my Papa Neighbors.
PS… Will not ever post publicly my #365 favorite human being

A classic John Wooden clinic line was “You haven’t taught until they’ve learned”. It’s has been a staple of any staff we’ve ever built and a phrase we use with teams.
But, it was @sherricoale who I heard use the quote in today’s share.
That quote defined the “how well” you have to teach part.
“Can’t or Won’t” tactics are evident in great teams. Film room, role evaluation, self evaluation… it’s the final filter.
Her books are amazing.
She CAN write!!!
Best coach turned writer. (New list idea!!)

Coach Louis Whorton… “nothing harder to coach than a confident poor shooter!!”
You decide if your gym is ready for this one because I’ve seen kids literally quit the game after failing at this one around the 12-15 range…
At very least, tests conditioning and mental toughness… maybe reveal some gritty players who can redefine their impact roles.

🍿 is action adventure

The fewer attempts… the less distance around the balls… the less stamina required.

Another “Here’s Your Sign” thought…
Reminder… guilty of them all myself… so not judging… just sayin!
🎧 share is a warmup mix staple without question. If this one doesn’t hype you up, you probably never had a big game moment
🍿 share is often one people strongly disagree with seeing this “low”. Must always remind that it’s really not low when considering number of movies on list… context matters
📺 share had a crazy premise that worked… a lot of shows during that age were so cookie-cutter so this one rose above the rest.
#255’s
68 teams make the Big Dance… so we that deep on today’s ranking of best basketball experiences…
Hate term bucket list but might apply here.

🎧 share is a deep, dark banger
🍿 share is a Pixar standard
📺 share is outside normal genre
@klhoops@LBoogie213 Back in the day hired a taxi driver and followed him from the airport because my Mapquest printoffs got wet walking rental car to watch Rutan play…. So many stories on that building!

Year #32 Coaching…. Team #60…
@codyjohnson dropped this one in 2021 and has been the first song on ever new year’s playlist…. Written by Ben Stennis and Matt Rogers…
