@ShaneLaflin We’re getting our in transition. Closest man takes the ball out. Pitch ahead if we can. Fill corners. Attack advantages early. Practice with a :18 shot clock. Go over different actions and concepts in practice. Let them figure life out a bit.

@ShaneLaflin If it’s high school, I’m running buzz defensively and making kids make plays and reads. What you run is irrelevant to me. We’ll know tendencies, strengths, and weaknesses. But I’m assuming we’re talking higher level of ball…

Taking the April Eval period with an experienced grain of salt, but I’m going to encourage these clubs to develop some sort of system for which players can start displaying better decision making. TEAMS develop a common language and some operational standards - and it helps everyone be better. They need the accountability and foundation. Teach them! And players - don’t run away from the coaches who challenge you in this way, please.

But - this I’ll stand on: the free-for-all is not benefitting anyone. And “pressing” does not qualify as a system.

This Final Four game is like an 8AM AAU game on court 78.

This is brutal…

[Kyron Stokes @Stokes_Ky]

You said that about the last two schools…

[Kyron Stokes @Stokes_Ky]

Virginia looked lost after the timeout, resulting in a shot clock violation. Not to be outdone, Iowa basically said "hold my beer" and turned in an even worse final possession. Inexcusable execution from both sides.

Especially after a timeout…

[Kyron Stokes @Stokes_Ky]

IG and FB saw it first…

[Kyron Stokes @Stokes_Ky]

Will add: Down the stretch, heads never went down. You could see, collectively, how poised they stayed.

It was a heck of a game!

[Shane Laflin @ShaneLaflin]

What a game between Ole Miss & Minnesota!!!

Things young players can emulate from @GopherWBB in that game:

The discipline of commitment to keep the ball in front defensively + the principle of verticality in help.

The effort of Amaya Battle cleaning up the glass as their bigs were locked into block outs.

Too easy!

No matter how terrible you may think a ref is, at no point should parents ever come over to the benches to address a ref. Especially in 4th/5th girls basketball.

I found myself holding back one of the refs after our game today. Parents do better!

@GottliebShow @GSwaim Coached college women for 11 years. 99% of the time, I’m watching college women’s games. I don’t watch the WNBA. I won’t lie to you and say I don’t watch any men’s games - it’s rare though. Prefer the women’s game.

Nobody needs culture killers, no matter how talented they may be.

I hope the NCAA/Refs don’t put out a statement about the late game call to appease the mob.

[Kyron Stokes @Stokes_Ky]

@TylerRelph10 Yes it was. Just finished watching it again clip by clip.

[Kyron Stokes @Stokes_Ky]

@GeoffHaxton Easy.

[Kyron Stokes @Stokes_Ky]

@Coach_HD No argument there. You may not be able to say it but I can now lol, COLLEGE WOMENS REFFING has been in the dumps for YEARS. Inconsistency for YEARS.

[Kyron Stokes @Stokes_Ky]

I don’t care about a CC/South Carolina final or tha narrative, blah blah blah! I’m disappointed in all the basketball folks on my timeline!

That offensive foul was an easy call. It was a moving screen. Yesterday, today, and forever.

It was RIGHT call!
