2029 - 5’10 PG Tre Thomas of Bowling Green (KY) is a work horse at the PG spot. Fights over screens, crashes the glass, vocal on both ends. Has got easy buckets out working everyone on the floor.

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.

Danny Hurley’s Approach

“Their son has to work harder, he has to do more, he has to earn his role. We’ve got a real old school culture here of accountability. The expectations of effort. The focus on winning and we over me”

One high-major head coach to me:

“This has become a joke. We got guys who averaged 3 points a game asking for a million dollars. It’s completely out of control.”

UCONN HC Dan Hurley - Building a System/Identity

- "Our system is how hard we play. How hard we get after people every single possession at both ends of the court & on the backboard."

- "The number one thing you got to understand if you want to have a program that can sustainably be successful and have a chance to win every single night... It's hard to coach that way because it's fu**ing exhausting. To coach every single possession, every single day and when the losing team runs the line because every single drill we do there is a winner & a loser, when they get this close and miss that line, you better be there to call them out and make the whole team now run with them."

- "If you want to start the game 6-0, like I start most games just because my team is ready to go because we go so hard every day."

[Dan Zaksheske @RealDanZak]

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."

NEWS: 15-seed Tennessee State G Aaron Nkrumah will forego the NCAA Tournament to prepare for the 2026 NBA Draft.

The junior guard averages 17.5 PPG and is widely expected to go undrafted.

My son got up at 5am on his own

Read 20 pages
Read 10 pages of the bible
100 pushups
100 situps
Ball handling work for 20 mins.

He's 11. I don't want to hear you can't look at the market everyday.

[Aaron Torres @Aaron_Torres]

Nolan Smith didn't get the Tennessee State job until July of last summer.

After winning the regular season, they just won the Ohio Valley title and an auto bid to the NCAA Tournament.

As good of a coaching job as ANYONE in college hoops.

Congrats @TSUTigersMBB

Friendly reminder that buying stocks on a 2% down day when we are ~3% off the all time high in the S&P 500 is not “buying the dip”

“There’s no shortcuts to this. It’s a grind and you’ve got to love it. These dudes love it and they show up every day and they work,” Grant McCasland

Winning is the love and relentless will to put the standards on display every single day.
