Young/future coaches: What are you doing with the connections you made at the Final Four? How does your “follow-up” set you apart? What projects did you complete and can send to a contact with the message: “Thought you might like this. Hope it helps you and your program.”?

Coach @BretBurchard nails it w/ this one. True story: there’s an Asst. on a top 10 team this yr who has his job bc he was real with the right people at the Final Four. Few years of grinding and doing the little things and now he’s big time. His secret: he didn’t big time anyone.

I went to my first Final Four and @NABC coaches convention when I was 10 years old.

For all the coaches headed to New Orleans this weekend, here are 5 ways to stand out from the crowd and get the most out of your experience.

You didn’t play college basketball. You weren’t All-Conference if you did play. Can’t coach then, right? FALSE!
Organized = DOBO
Tech-savvy = Video Coordinator
Artistic - Social Media/Graphics
Math wiz = Analytics
People person - recruiting coordinator
THERE ARE JOBS OUT THERE

Want a job in this biz?
Can you:
multi-task
stay calm under pressure
think on your feet
solve problems (before HC & players know about them)
have back-up plan
work well w/ people outside of your program
DOBO might be your role. @BennySander surely did all this & more last night

Assistant Coaches:

Rule #1: Don’t be scared to share your opinion… but understand if your advice isn’t taken, you have to move on.

[Off The Court @OffTheCourtCBB]

Right now coaches are hiring and looking for people who are:
*loyal
*self-starters
*not above any task
*solution-oriented
*team-driven (not self)
*looking to fill gaps and make everyone better
*None of these are dependent upon your basketball ability or recruiting contacts.

This is a people business. The most successful coaches are those who work well with people, especially those who are hard to work with. There are men and women in this business who have their jobs because they’re better than others at working w/ co-workers, admin, media, etc.

Hundreds of coaches around the country were never all-stars, never the best on the court, but have skills and abilities that make them valuable to their team and staff. The goal of this handle is to encourage and inform the next generation of those coaches.
