The Thunder and Spurs have Championship grit

And maybe or probably the Knicks

Cavs DON’T

Two of top players aren’t committed enough on defense and winning plays

Little things matter

[Mano Watsa @manowatsa]

I was at the NBA Draft Combine last week and was reminded how the 'little things' can often make all the difference.

Good weekend for some of our @BCBBall_ teams

And got to celebrate our BCB Moms also

Going into championship games, we talked about 2 things Moms are & 2 ways we want to play & represent them

TOUGH
TOGETHER

Moms are tough & help hold families together

Facts

DJ has had a strong Spring so far

Along with his teammates, they are competing and performing well

[RYZE Hoops @RYZEHoops]

DJ Mitchell once averaged 26 ppg and six made 3’s per game in a 4-game span during a RYZE event. Safe to say you can’t leave him open from three.

Jump passes rarely end well for the offense

If serving is beneath you, leadership is above you

[Sam Allen @CoachSamAllen]

Sometimes the BEST coaching is no coaching or less coaching

If the supposed best player isn’t committed on both ends of the floor…

Can the team really ever be serious championship level team?

You either are about Winning or Losing

[Sam Allen @CoachSamAllen]

Well done young fellas

[HoopSeen @hoopseen]

BCB Monroe 15U secured a 37-19 win over Iron City Hoops, setting the tone with aggressive defense and control on both ends.

Semaj Ansley led all scorers by consistently producing offensively, while K. Free dominated the paint as a big, finishing strong and controlling the interior.

For Iron City, Elijah Mason stood out offensively & kept them in contention throughout.

CHAMPIONS

Champions behave like champions before they’re champions.

They have a winning standard of performance before they are champions

-Bill Walsh
Via James Clear 3-2-1

[Sam Allen @CoachSamAllen]

Playing vs Competing

Most players play

Few players really compete

Some coaches say they don’t coach effort. They don’t coach attitude…even some of the best in the game will say it

But, they actually do. That’s why their teams play harder than other teams. That’s why their programs year in and year out are tougher

Competing is a skill. It’s a standard.
It has to be defined. It can be created in practice. Practice design matters.
Daily messaging matters

[Sam Allen @CoachSamAllen]

Happy birthday to @RickTorbett

Hope you eat your favorite food & do something you love today…maybe take the boat out or just hang outside with your dog

Thanks for being a friend and for all the contributions you have made to basketball and myself

[Sam Allen @CoachSamAllen]

Real growth comes from Evaluated Experience, not just Accumulated Experience

[Sam Allen @CoachSamAllen]

@coachk6463 Yes. Solid and good point
Fake low, throw high

[Sam Allen @CoachSamAllen]

Passing out of TRAPS

The #DukeUConn game last night is another example (just on a national stage) of what I see at all levels…

Players trying to pass over the top of traps…that rarely is the right basketball play unless you are a Big or player with great length

Faking high and bounce passes around the defenders or step-thru after a fake is the play 95% of the time to make

[Sam Allen @CoachSamAllen]

@RBR_Josh That’s a great point and good catch

The dribble on the catch instead of “PEEKING” was a mistake

Also UCONN tried to foul the inbounder who got the pass back from Cam Boozer

[Sam Allen @CoachSamAllen]

Yea. I feel awful for that kid

Watched his post game interview in locker room and he faced it head on, owned it, blamed himself for loss…

Was very impressed with him

And everything people say about him and brother and everything you observe….these guys are WINNERS

so, it’s also an example that winners and champions have low moments

I hope for his sake he can help lead his team back there and have a big moment in a big game that goes his way so this doesn’t haunt him

[kendall Green @ontargethoops]

@CoachSamAllen You would think a guy that won every age group of the EYBL won four state championships in the state of Florida at the highest classification and had USA basketball success would know that. I think he had a brain fart and his fundamentals betrayed him.
