Every successful HS coach needs a strong right hand man that will be loyal to him & never undermine him. If you look at some of the best programs, they have loyal, smart Number 2 guys. WHO DONT WANT TO BETRAY THE HC. Too many assistant coaches with personal agendas
Culture is laid brick by brick during the season and out of season. We had tough competitors who completely Burned the Ships.
Ryan Schwieger (Holding our championship belt) is finishing up his career playing professional basketball in Germany and is now beginning the next chapter as a future leader in the coaching world.
Brock Bowen (Pictured with my wife and I) showed up everyday and worked hard to reach his ceiling and now he is doing in the work place.
Kyle Fraizer (Bottom passing the plate) just graduated from William and Mary and now pursuing a career in international buisness.
The standard never changes — toughness, accountability, sacrifice, and relentless work. It works in basketball and in life.
That mindset is exactly what Burning Ships is about.
Paperback version comes out tomorrow. 🔥🏀

As we gear up for the '26-'27 campaign, I reflect on this past season. Upon reflection, I MUST get better as a coach. These young men need better coaching, better mentorship, better counseling, better guidance. I'M COMMITTED. #ItsJustUs
What does real culture look like?
It’s when a former player asks you to walk him out on Senior Day because one of his parents can’t make it. That’s bigger than basketball.
Culture isn’t slogans. It’s how players feel YEARS after they leave your program. Relationships built on accountability, love, and trust can create life-changing impact.
I am so excited that my book Burning Ships goes on presale today and releases in 5 days. Chase is one of many former players who impacted me as much as I ever impacted them.
I am so thankful for every player who bought into the vision. #BurningTheShips. https://t.co/cENyxjR0AT
Eric took the stage at UNC Chapel Hill to deliver a commencement speech to the next generation of Tar Heels, sharing a message for the graduates as they step into what comes next.

The average high school head football coach stipend is around $7,000. Fluctuating heavily
For that, they’re expected to coach year-round, run a program, mentor kids, manage parents, recruit their own halls, fundraise, break down film, coordinate staffs, and be available almost 24/7.
Football coaches are grossly underpaid for what we ask of them.
