Working with players in situations like this show a lot about the player and their character! Cant say how United and mature this team is.

#USMNT striker Folarin Balogun on his immediate reaction to red card:

“I think it was just important to stay calm. I never want to react out of anger and out of emotion. There’s still lots of people we’re inspiring, little kids, boys and girls who are watching, and we have to show them the correct way to handle things, even when you think it's unjust.”

On shaking ref’s hand postgame:

“As said, you can feel like something, injustice can happen to you. It’s not an excuse to be disrespectful… I'm aware that the World Cup might be the first time a lot of American viewers are tuning in. So it's important just to show people, whether things happen to you, good or bad, just to continue to be yourself.”

@coachdschmit No idea what you are talking about….

[Jonah Bradley @coach_jb1]

I’m still young relatively speaking… but old enough, been around the game long enough & wise enough to know this…

You can’t keep everyone happy. Do an exceptional job, someone will always find a reason to complain.

Tough to ignore, but always stinks that 1 negative outweighs many positives.

Getting better at letting people like that go! My peace of mind matters more than your feelings towards me.

[Coach Schmit @Coach_D_Schmit]

Following the @USMNT for 2 decades, last night was the best play on the pitch I have seen in a while, maybe even in my lifetime of following! Putting pressure on the defensive end, great passing and aggression on the offensive! Let’s keep it rolling!

God… we need You.
Show me, my teammates, my brothers… how to help. Show us the way.

We aren’t alone even when it feels like we are. Allow us to communicate to one another and pray for one another.

We need you now!

[James Purchin @JamesPurchin]

The best offenses don’t run plays. They hunt advantages.

That’s the lens the Illinois Fighting Illini men’s basketball uses every game.

The first question isn’t what do we run?
It’s what’s our biggest strength and where is their biggest weakness?

Everything flows from there.

Illinois talks constantly about creating, attacking, and maintaining advantages. One action into the next. Spacing as a weapon. Letting individual skill shine when there’s a switch, and flowing right back into team advantage if the defense stays home.

Shot selection is the backbone of it all.

They simplify it: gold (layups), silver (threes), bronze (midrange) shots.
And then they practice different constraints so players feel it.

For example:
No-dribble possessions.
Scores only off cuts.
Offense made intentionally hard.

Why? Because constraints teach players how many ways a possession can still produce a gold-medal shot.

Early in the season, they were playing fast, but the shot quality wasn’t good enough. So they adjusted. Now they’re one of the slowest teams in the Big Ten.

Not because slow is better.
Because it fits their strengths.

The result?

~50% of shots from three
~43% at the rim
~7% midrange (mostly late clock)

That’s not accident. That’s alignment.

Takeaway:
Great offense isn’t about pace or volume, it’s about discipline, spacing, advantages, and repeatedly choosing the best shot available.
