@IanKarmel 6 is no problem. 12 seems like a lot. So I'll go 9 for $900k.

@Dusty_Harrah @IanKarmel Wait, what? This isn't a debate. It's RPS. End of story.

@ramit I haven't been to a Costco in 3 years. Have been more than willing to pay the Instacart costs and tip drivers to make our Costco runs for us. The time saved is more than worth the cost.

@nomadicmatt Enjoy the first several seasons, then don't feel bad stopping and moving on to something else.

[Sam Allen @CoachSamAllen]

PGs

Kick the ball ahead.

Stop dominating the ball with the dribble

Also, be a leader. Be a pest, a disruptor with your on-ball defense

Be the best communicator on offense & defense

Be an extension of the coach.

Talk during dead ball time:
Out of bounds
FTs

@roywoodjr Watching #2 right now and my wife walked in, stopped for about 5 mins and asked "Is the whole movie just one long fight scene?"

@ShootersxShoot lol! Standard vs. Daylight Savings time!

Have said for a few years that coaching HS basketball is the hardest level of coaching. This list of realities is comprehensive and accurate. Throw in the increase of lack of support from school/district for HS coaches and it becomes a tough job.

@ramit Do want:
- Spend $ on fitness without thinking about (recovering from ruptured Achilles so getting back to fitness is a big dial for future me)
- Eating out

Don't want:
- New car. Would rather spend money to keep current vehicles (owned) in running order.

Giannis is outstanding: “There’s no failure in sports. There’s good days, bad days, some days you are able to be successful, some days you are not, some days it is your turn, some days it’s not. That’s what sports is about. You don’t always win.”

Well, well, well...look at that. 🤔

That blanket NDA you signed years ago to get severance? It's void now, according to the National Labor Relations Board.

A narrowed focus accelerates progress. A broad focus invites mediocrity.
You must become GREAT at what you are GOOD at!

[Kevin Berry @KevinBerry23]

@CoachSamAllen Depends on your refs. Many won't let them in the game if they aren't waiting at the X when the dead ball occurs.

[Kevin Berry @KevinBerry23]

This is my biggest gripe with youth leagues. Too much caring about W/Ls, too many brackets where winning matters, too much emphasis on state tournaments and not enough time spent on skill development and just playing.

[BriAnna Joy Garza @ShootersxShoot]

I had a meeting with @movementcoachkm of Ireland a few months back.

I learned a lot.

But one thing that FASCINATED me was that in many European youth leagues, they don’t really keep track of wins and losses like that.

They instead focus on *developing* 13-year olds.

Imagine.

@SAFmedia Waldford Astoria!

This is the basketball hill I will die on as a coach. The shooting % difference is astonishing when you actually track it.
