Dan Hurley on the two personas every head coach must master:

The Jockey 🏇, and the Corner Man. 🥊

In practice — you are the jockey. You push. You challenge. You demand more than they think they have. You stretch them past comfort so execution becomes inevitable.

On game night — you become the corner man. You steady. You simplify. You remind them who they are. Confidence replaces correction.

Preparation is where you build them.
Performance is where you believe in them.

Billy Donovan shares a lesson that changed how his players thought about winning.

At Florida, he had a manager track how long the ball was in each player's hands during a game.

He asked one of his starters: "How many minutes do you think you had the ball in your hands for the game?"

The player said 15 minutes when he had played 30.

The real numbers?
"A backcourt player, for the most part, is probably 92% of the game gonna be played without the ball in their hands. A frontcourt player - 95% of their minutes is gonna be played without the ball in their hands."

Think about that. You're playing without the ball almost the entire game.

"It's amazing to me how many players focus on points, points, points. That's what goes on ESPN. That's what gets the highlights."

"But if you're gonna strictly talk about winning and you're really driven and motivated by winning and competing and being a good teammate, you have to look at the fact is -- what am I doing with my 92, 93, 94, 95%?"

"Am I screening? Am I running the floor? Am I on the floor for loose basketballs? Am I rebounding? Am I taking a charge?"

"There's so many ways to impact the game with the amount of time you're on the floor when the ball's not in your hands."

This is what separates good players from winning players.
You control how you show up.
You control your attitude.
You control your effort.

Great teammates master what they do when no one's watching - and when the ball isn't in their hands.

Winning isn't about the glamour. It's about the 95%.

Dan Hurley shares a blunt reminder about what it takes to be great.

"If you can't sit through an hour and 15 minute video session...get out of this industry because this is only for the most competitive people."

The film room isn't glamorous. It's tedious, repetitive, and easy to zone out, but that's exactly why it separates.

The ones who consistently work even when it's boring are the same ones who execute when it matters.

Greatness isn't for the interested - it's for the ones who embrace the boredom of consistency.

Grateful for this amazing opportunity. Basketball means everything to me, and no matter where I play the game, I’ll do so with the same joy, passion and goal - to win championships.

Says every coach at 2:40 am, when he can’t sleep because he’s thinking about his athletes and how best to reach their hearts and minds.

@lmulionsMBB 9-7 and 4th place😁

[Zack Farmer @postsbyzack]

There’s a scenario for a five-way tie for 4th place by the end of WCC play.

Here’s what has to happen:
2/18:
PAC > LMU
SMC > BYU
POR > SCU

2/23:
SMC > PAC
USF > POR

2/25:
POR > PAC
PEP > LMU
BYU > USF

All would finish 7-9. I’m not figuring out tiebreakers. I’m here for chaos.

[Rob Hanmer @RobHanmer13]

Looking forward to the watching @lmulionsMBB tonight and in Vegas at the WCC tournament!
