American basketball is going to become aau basketball at every level. The best teachers and the ones who truly cared about the sport are all leaving it. It’s not as enjoyable and kids don’t want to learn and win. Roy, K, Boeheim, Jay, Bennett and I’m hearing Self isn’t far behind

If the treatment of high school coaches from parents doesn’t change drastically y’all are just going to end up with a bunch of guys who run around, yell, and wave their arms “acting” like they are doing something.
I have been a coach for 30+ years.
We have had a lot of success, and I have learned a lot.
What advice would I give young coaches?
Here are 30 pieces of coaching advice after 30 years in coaching 🏆.
1. Coaching is all about relationships. Work to build relationships with your players.
2. Play the long game with culture. There are no shortcuts to success.
3. Develop your leaders. Don’t hope or wish for leaders.
4. After a win, you are never as good as you think. And after a loss, you never played as poorly as you thought.
5. When in doubt, less is more. The earlier you learn this, the better.
6. As the coach, you are the leader. Lead by example in all you do.
7. Culture is what you allow and what you emphasize.
8. Create practices with a purpose.
9. Do things in groups of 3’s. It is simple and easy to remember.
10. Energy givers make a team. Reward your energy givers.
11. Put your players in situations where they can use their strengths. Be great at what you are good at.
12. Communication is vital. Be clear, concise, and proactive.
13. Remember, comparison is the thief of joy. Don’t compare yourself to others.
14. Be a lifelong learner. The best coaches are constantly learning and getting better.
15. There is no substitute for hard work. As a coach, model the work ethic you want.
16. Culture is every day. You must think this way. If not, your culture will erode.
17. Find a supportive spouse. Coaching is challenging and time-consuming. It is essential.
18. Over-communicate roles for your players and team.
19. Remember, leadership is a lifestyle. Be a servant leader.
20. Do not try to please anyone. It is impossible and will only cause problems.
21. Be incredibly honest with kids and parents. Do not sugarcoat anything. It gets you in trouble.
22. Do yourself a favor and be very organized. It shows competence.
23. Celebrate the small wins. Use the game within the game to set goals.
24. Focus on the process, not the prize.
25. Always celebrate WE over ME.
26. Think about your player's mental health. It is more important than ever.
27. Get to know the parents in your program when their kids are young. These relationships are essential later on.
28. Pick your battles. It is always more important to win the war.
29. Celebrate all of the roles on a team. This is essential to create a positive team environment.
30. Enjoy the time with your players and have fun!

Football is about blocking and tackling………I don’t see much of that with this team. Is it a lack of talent or poor coaching? Likely a combination of both.
Well:
Clean house on the offensive side when it comes to coaches. Should have done that last year.
Rushing Three, gives a qb all day to throw and to beat coverage.
This Iowa State team scored 7 on Ohio.
Bowman isn’t the answer, Rangel gives us the best opportunity to win.
If he sits, he will transfer.
A 10 year old playing madden could call a better offensive game than Dunn.
After games during film, how many times have people said what are we doing.
I get NIL is a big part of College Football as well as the transfer portal, but as an alumni what we have witnessed all season isn’t making anyone pull out their checkbooks .
Gundy needs to figure this out, pull in your captains and get to the bottom of the problems.
Yes we’re Loyal and True, but as a season ticket holder who wants to sit through this game after game.
There is no more bs about rebuilding, we will lose players. It’s either adapt or die.
You can either agree or disagree with this, you can even unfollow. But at this moment we suck. And it’s only going to get worse if we don’t solve the listed above.
Any #Coach worth their salt sported these back in the day! Functional, Flexible, & Unflattering... lol 😂
Retweet if you remember you're coach wearing these!
As I remember @James409Jason you told me once that you “pick your battles, you just choose to pick them all”! Good luck my friend and keep on fightin’, as we are fighting some tough battles #OklaEd
@RyanWaltersSupt is going to be the best thing that has happened to @OkDemocrats in Oklahoma in the last 25 yrs. Does he know anything but political sound bytes fed to him by out of state politicians #OklaEd deserves so much better. @officialOKGOP @OKHouseReps @oksenate@GovStitt
