Basketball Character and actual character are not unrelated.
-John Calipari
*I raise the question, probably college coaches or anyone who recruits could answer this the best, but how can you tell competitiveness and being a “dawg” from athletes whose character is questionable?*
I’d like to announce that I’ve retained Terry Johnson as an assistant coach on our men’s basketball staff at Houston Christian University.
Coach Johnson has developed a good rapport around campus and comes highly recommended from our administration and other coaches around the country.
He comes from basketball lineage as the son of former Nevada, Stanford, LSU, and TCU head coach Trent Johnson. Most impressive, Terry has forged his own career path working his way through the coaching ranks having been an assistant at the NCAA D3, NCAA D2, and NCAA D1 levels.
Over the past week after spending many hours with Coach Johnson it was evident that he is hard working, humble, honest, and knowledgeable. I had to make him leave the office at 10:00 PM multiple nights last week. We will work on the work-life balance stuff!
I am pleased to welcome @CoachTJohnson_ as a continued member of the HCU men’s basketball coaching staff.
The man who helped make my D1 dreams come true. One of the hardest working men in the business @CoachMartyGross. Great running into you at TABC Clinic 2024, coach!
I have a very close connection with this convo. Whether it be from me playing or coaching. JJ is spot on, I think comparison can create holes in someone’s game. It can stunt growth, restrict creativity, and worse of them all IMO steal someone’s love and passion for the sport🎯
Comparison is the thief of all joy.
Great insight from JJ Redick & Coach Jamahl Mosley on striking the balance between:
• Taking components of great players’ games.
• But not comparing one player to another.
Knicks guard Josh Hart on playing two entire playoff games: “My Lord works in mysterious ways. Today, I felt like I didn’t have it at all. The whole game I was reciting Isaiah 40:29. The weak he renews strength. That was the biggest thing. He allows you to walk and not faint.”
