The coach who invented the Pinwheel offense, built a 180-68 record at tiny Oglethorpe, then walked away from basketball for the grocery business and politics.

Phil Jackson once heard about him and said, “He was one of the nation’s most innovative coaches.”

What would he think of today’s coaching culture?

Stage 1: Teach a basketball skill.

Stage 2: Turn the skill into a game.

Stage 3: Turn the game into a tag game.

Stage 4: Explain the neuroscience.

Stage 5: Question whether the original skill was ever necessary.

[Transforming Basketball @transformbball]

Alex Sarama explains that instead of static drills, he uses varied tag games focused on repetition without sameness, citing Nikolai Bernstein, and demonstrates this by having players adapt constraints like body targets or adding dribbling to improve game transfer.

@Ross_McCorkle You defended sample size I never argued while admitting context exists then insisting the stripped-down counts still “matter” anyway.

Barron isn’t claiming MLB violates Dignitatis Humanae or the Constitution. Reading the post more carefully shows he’s simply noting that this incident gives the RLC more work, since its role includes how religious expression is treated in major cultural institutions, not just state coercion.

@aaronschuck Me too. All part of my journey!

@WNBAComms @WNBA I wonder whether the steadily rising knee injury rates were taken into consideration when deciding to expand the regular season to 50 games…

@candid_coach Add a help defender start tied to a chair to teach finishing.

@ClintHurdle13 The cover wasn’t a destination, it was a test. Looking back, I think that’s why your story resonated with me so much. The wins were great, but the lessons about leadership, humility, and perseverance are what stayed with me.

They assassinated Reinhard Heydrich in 1942.

This is the car he was in.

What most people never hear is what happened next to ordinary Czech civilians and whether the operation was morally justified.

Agreed. What makes the question “how tall is he/she?” stupid is that height is pretty easy to guess anyway. When I was recruiting, if I needed a better sense of a player’s height, I’d casually mention it within the natural flow of the conversation with her travel or high school coach, like “Isn’t she about X height, or pretty close to it?”

@yinzer_g @BuffaloBobbie1 It seems like we have different views of what counts as a roster “set up to win.”

@BuffaloBobbie1 @yinzer_g Yes, I am aware Striker… I will have my list later on today so I am keeping up. 🤙🤙

[Aaron Schuck @aaronschuck]

Bruh… Here’s what I’m saying. Bill Cowher inherited a roster that was set up to win. Was it as talented or as polished as the roster Mike Tomlin inherited? Probably not. But it also wasn’t the rebuilding project some people make it out to be. Early in Cowher’s tenure, we lost to Buffalo, then lost to San Diego, and lost SB 30 in year 3, with a roster that still featured many core players from Chuck Noll’s final years.

Using the same logic some people apply to Tomlin, you could say Cowher lost with Noll’s players. I don’t actually believe that. I only bring it up to highlight what I see as an inconsistency.

The same principle applies to Tomlin. He inherited a very talented roster from Cowher. In year 1, we lose to Jacksonville. In season 2, we win SB 43. Saying he “won with Cowher’s players” is factually true in a narrow sense, but I’ve never understood why that is supposed to diminish the accomplishment.

[Aaron Schuck @aaronschuck]

@BuffaloBobbie1 @yinzer_g I wasn’t arguing the rankings. I was responding to the claim that Tomlin’s Super Bowl doesn’t count because he inherited talent. That’s a separate discussion from whether Leyland should be ranked higher.

[Aaron Schuck @aaronschuck]

@yinzer_g @BuffaloBobbie1 Most neglect Cowher was hearing many of the same criticisms Tomlin hears today. Had he won Super Bowl XXX and never returned, the story would be that he won with Noll’s players and spent the rest of his career falling short.

[Aaron Schuck @aaronschuck]

@yinzer_g @BuffaloBobbie1 That’s true in the narrowest sense. The 91 Steelers were 7-9 and the 06 Steelers were 8-8. But records aren’t rosters. Cowher inherited Woodson, Dawson, Lloyd, Lake, O’Donnell, Foster, and a team one may argue built by Chuck Noll. MT obviously inherited a talented roster too.
