Thank you to @BBallImmersion for the clinic today. Thank you to @GPSouth_AD for hosting in your Historic gym and as Chris Oliver said thank you to the coaches. “You are the key to individual and personal development.”

If I could go back to Year 1 as a head coach…

I would do these 8 things differently.

20 years. A lot of wins. Plenty of mistakes.

Here’s what I know now:

Maybe — just maybe — Scott Stine is a helluva coach.

Congrats to our Head Coach in being named Coach of the Week by @BCAMCoaches! #BeEAST

[Coach Levin @HoopsCoachLevin]

The MEN who built East Basketball!
When the ball stops bouncing all that will matter are the relationships formed and memories shared.
Grateful to have the relationships and memories with these young men!

GET CLEAR ON WHAT THE GOAL OF TRANSITION IS. We are not looking for a result, we are creating an advantage and playing off of it. Transition is the best time for advantages. #basketballteaching #transitionoffense #unlockyourpotential

[Jamy Bechler @CoachBechler]

PLAYERS: Do you want more playing time? Make it impossible for the coach to sit you. Become a better teammate and more positive leader. Find ways to become more valuable to your team. Bring more value to your team. Make your teammates better. Make your team better.

Bryce Bird from @DubC_MensHoops learned how to make reads from us early in his career and it helped him attack thru multiple defenders in college.

South East Basketball how we started our summer vacation working to improve with one another! Northwood University Team Camp. Getting 1% Better Everyday!

[Jason Hardy @jhardy_cs]

So excited to be a part of this project and help grow the IQ and knowledge of those involved in our game!

A foundational part of our business is our number representing compound interest. It is a penny compounded on itself everyday for a month. Just like a penny, any habit you are trying to build won’t show up the first day, or even the first week.

[Rob Oviatt @RobOviatt1]

The weight room is biased. It only rewards those that work. And it will see right through someone who isn’t willing to do
it. It’s a truth teller. You can’t fool it.
