Great coaches are truth tellers.
“When you experience failure you have two options. You can either tell yourself the truth or you can lie to yourself.”
Most people avoid the truth.
Great teams embrace it.
"Your job as a coach is to coach your players.
If their parents and their friends are getting mad because you're getting yelled at, get better parents and better friends."
Coaches aren't calling you out.
They're calling you up!
Build connections so they hear the corrections.
“You guys make it about the wins and losses. 25 years from now, I want them to pick up the phone and call me because they need me. I’m there for them.”
The life of a coach is an investment in people, not just points.
Build a legacy that outlasts the jersey.
Your Role is not what you are capable of, your role is what your team needs you to do to win
The Nation is about to see that Cayden Boozer is the ultimate winner and he was taking a back seat to Caleb Foster becuase it was the right thing for DUKE
“I don’t want you to like me today…..I want you to love me in a couple years”
A great message about what a coach’s role is in a young person’s life

“If you put your head down after a missed shot you’re coming out…Your body language kills the rest of us”
This is what REAL coaching is
Anyone can study X and O’s - It’s mentoring PEOPLE

This is GOLD
“You aren’t always going to be liked as a head coach but if you are always honest, and tell the truth, you will always have their respect”
Kelvin Sampson: “Kids don’t choose schools anymore, they choose a coaching staff. You gotta choose the right coaching staff for you. Jarace Walker’s father is the one who started that. Give both of these kids credit, they choose to come to Houston. They both made great choices.”
