Great for players to hear.
@dallasmavs coach Jared Dudley how to impact winning in a world that is obsessed with scoring:
🔒 Defend Multiple Positions
🛞 Drive and Kick Decision Making
🎯 What's Your One Outlier Trait?
Social media glorifies the 20+ point per game scorer. But most teams already have one, or two of those guys.
What they’re really searching for are the players who dominate in the margins: boxing out, sprinting back, diving on the floor, the second effort, the winning habit repeated over and over again.
Your value isn’t determined by how many minutes you get.
It’s determined by what you do with the minutes you've earned.
Because that impact creates trust. And that trust creates opportunity.
And the players who consistently help the team grow usually end up growing themselves.

Nate Oats on his contract:
"When my salary goes up a half million dollars every year -- you know how long it took me to make a half million dollars at Romulus? I got paid 4,700 a year to coach basketball for 11 years."
Incredible take from Charles Barkley on Tom Izzo:
"The media, who don't know anything about sports, say 'Why is he yelling his players?' That's called coaching... if parents & friends get mad because you're getting yelled at, get better parents & better friends."
This was Miami coach, Jai Lucas, the first week he got The Miami job
Less than a year later, he has The Hurricanes HOOPING in the NCAA Tournament
Truly one of the best young coaches in the nation

Bryan Hodgson has a message for anyone interested in his USF players 👀
"Any of these clowns that think they’re gonna reach out before the season ends and start sending DMs… I will find you. I’m not like the rest of these coaches. We will have a face-to-face conversation... It may work with other people. It doesn’t work with me. I will find you.”
“If you gave me $1 million [at Kansas], I wouldn’t have made it to the NBA”

Pat Kelsey shares a fun end of season tradition the team has before the final home game.
During the last practice, each senior gets a theme song and the team vibes out together, celebrating the group one last time.
“At the last regular season practice, we punt the ball as far as we can, I don’t know why but we’ve always done that and they all get a theme song, it was just one of the coolest things I’ve ever saw…”
After that, the tradition wraps up with each player punting a basketball as high as they can into the stands. 🏀
