Nate Symens

University of Jamestown Assistant Basketball Coach

[Brian McCormick @brianmccormick]

When Pritchard & Brown go off in a game this year, we'll hear commentary & read tweets about being in the lab with a trainer all summer.
We won't hear anyone attribute their success to these post-practice 1v1 games.
These are the environments in which players develop. Play.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Watching the @NBA All Star game and @TeamUSA at the Winter Olympics, it’s clear that sports — just like music and art — still has the power to bring us together, build community, and remind us of our common humanity.

[Anthony Pugh @Anthony_Pugh2]

PLAYERS, I challenge you to try this out…

Watch a full game (high school, college or pro) and write down how each basket is scored

Examples:

Catch and shoot 3s
Coming off a DHO
Hitting the roll man for a lay up
One dribble pull up

And see how many 45 dribble combo moves you see/write down…. (Most likely not many)

Then, after the game is over, tailor your own workouts to what you wrote down. Because those are the skills you actually need to be successful

Something powerful about writing it down and visually seeing it on paper!

Players
If you’re playing winning Basketball , it’s not YOUR shot. It’s OUR shot.

[ND Phenom 2027 @NDPhenom2027]

Coaches at all levels, take a look. @oakleytrueblood is the top stretch 4 in the ND 2027 class. Shoots it well from all levels. Plays above the rim. Defends. Rebounds. Facilitates. High IQ player. Catch Oakley on the @PHCircuit this upcoming season. #BeElite #CaD

[ND Phenom 2027 @NDPhenom2027]

We look forward to the addition of Drew to the squad. Can guard and play 1-3. High level shot maker with good length and a high IQ. Coaches, take a look. #BeElite #CaD

[ND Phenom 2027 @NDPhenom2027]

Weston is the top point guard in ND. Very strong at 6’2”. Leads the AA western conference in APG and is top across the entire state in RPG from the PG position. His teams win games. 2 Northern Sun offers. Interest across several conferences. Take a look. #BeElite #CaD

[ND Phenom 2027 @NDPhenom2027]

6’6” 2027 Wing. Shoots it at a high clip. Playmaker defensively. High level connector. Facilitator. Plays above the rim. Can dominate a game on either end of the floor. Coaches, take a look. #BeElite #CaD

[ND Phenom 2027 @NDPhenom2027]

Coaches, @najehboyd1 is a 5’10” PG who also possesses the ability to play off ball. Extremely efficient and athletic guard who is a pit bull defensively all 94 feet. Take a look. #BeElite #CaD

[ND Phenom 2027 @NDPhenom2027]

Coaches, keep an eye out for 6’6” 2027 3 and D wing @owen_terras. Owen is a sniper with super long arms who can guard up and down the lineup. Has started playing above the rim. #BeElite #CaD

[Anthony Pugh @Anthony_Pugh2]

An empty gym and a ball solves a lot of life’s problems

[Brian McCormick @brianmccormick]

Attacker & defender run next to each other. Attacker bumps into defender & loses balance. Defensive foul. We justify a foul for any contact: legal guarding position.

We need an offensive version of LGP; if attacker makes unnatural move to create contact, not auto defensive foul.

WW keeping it real per usual🫰

[The Winning Difference @thewinningdiff1]

“I used to think that I could affect winning and losing. Then it became:
I have very little control of winning and losing. The only thing I have control of is, am I putting them in position every day in practice to learn how to win?” Geno Auriemma

Standards influence outcomes.

After a great visit and a very nice conversation with @NorthDakotaMBB I’m excited to announce that’s I’ve received my first D1 offer! Thank you to the coaching staff for showing me around!
