@TheHoopHerald @FauxCoachWoodar Counterpoint—it teaches some great principles of play. Have to find creative solutions, make quick decisions, understand spacing/attacking gaps.

If committed to “skill” development, instead of banning zone, maybe we adjust ball size, and even play 3 on 3 in organized leagues.

Started our 1st home game of the season celebrating our TEACHERS!!
Freshman and JV girls led their games all four quarters, bringing home a dub. Varsity fought every second, but came up short.
Thank you to our GRHS staff for supporting our players in class, and on the court.

Coach K on Coachability

Children always need love. Sometimes they need a second chance. Other times they need boundaries and accountability. The key is knowing which one they need in the moment.

@MichiganFB23 No doubt, I was okay with that—not forcing a punt was inexcusable.

[Kellen Hayes @CoachkellenH]

@MichiganFB23 Given the defensive performance we should’ve called a timeout prior to 3rd and 16 tbh, try to steal another possession. But yes, at the very least make them punt. Clock management has been horrible since Jim left. This whole staff needs to go. Basic level stuff—gross incompetence

[Kellen Hayes @CoachkellenH]

@XSpiceman @dctf First quarter too 😬

[Kellen Hayes @CoachkellenH]

@TheHoopHerald @reed_vial3 What a waste of time. If you need to do this for conditioning, you can’t design an effective practice. Only real benefit would be form a team bonding standpoint—but once again there are better alternatives.

[Kellen Hayes @CoachkellenH]

@ReiverMBB What a monumental waste of practice time 😂

Bill Self in practice - One of the best to EVER coach the game

Elite coach, master motivator

As an educator, always a huge fan of "multiple truths." Yes, your child is talented, maybe even VERY talented. AND....there are levels, trust the experts about where they actually fit in the hierarchy. All college players are LEGIT. Coaches must be honest too, no feeding egos!

[Kellen Hayes @CoachkellenH]

Practice > Games. Live reads and game experience plays a huge role in development. But American hoopers need more time in the lab with a competent coach. It’s just a matter of reps. This is spot on. 🔥

[Dennis Marshall @mar5hallhoops]

If you play 25 school games, 40 AAU games, 8 live period hs games, 10 summer league games, and 10 fall leagues games. The a game every 3.9 days. And these are low numbers. How much sense does that make? You’re being shortchanged and don’t even know it.
