I found out last night that one of my most impactful mentors, Coach Tates Locke, passed away yesterday at the age of 89. 

I met Coach Locke in 2007 at the Nike Summer Skills Academies and he was an incredibly meaningful person in my life for nearly a decade. Sadly, we lost touch when I left the basketball world in 2017, but that certainly doesn’t diminish the fact that he had a profound influence over my coaching approach, perspective, and philosophy.

Coach Locke hired Bobby Knight for his first coaching job, was the inspiration for Nick Nolte’s character in the movie Blue Chips, and had so many unparalleled basketball experiences (and stories). 

Coach Locke had the sage wisdom of John Wooden, the sharp tongue of Don Rickles, and the grisliness of Clint Eastwood. He coached with love… and was simultaneously one of the kindest - and most ornery - people I have ever met. And boy oh boy, he was the definition of Old School.

Coach Locke was a basketball genius and a masterful teacher. He was brilliant at breaking things down and making the complicated… simple. He believed in the fundamentals and he believe in doing things the right way.

I will never forget the first time we met…

I noticed his leather attaché and I attempted to make small talk, “That’s a pretty cool notebook. How long have you had it?”

With a hint of irritation in his voice he said, “I got it in 1975.”

I quickly replied, “Wow! That thing is older than me!”

He smirked and said, “Yeah, and I bet it’s a hell of a lot more useful than you are too.”

And he got up and walked away.

Later that week, when I showed up to a morning meeting with a 5 o’clock shadow… he said, “Next time you shave, try standing a little closer to your razor.”

That was Coach Locke :)

Over the next 10 years we worked dozens of camps together. I sat next to him during meals, on the bus, and during meetings. I attended every one of his workouts. I tried to soak up as much of his wisdom as I could. 

Stay tuned for a follow up post with the top lessons I learned from him.

[Alan Stein, Jr. @AlanSteinJr]

Here are my 3 top lessons I learned from the legendary Coach Tates Locke, who sadly passed away at the age of 89 yesterday. Coach Locke was an incredibly impactful and influential person in my life for a decade early in my coaching career…

#1: The Rule of 2:
It will take me 2 minutes to teach it.
It will take you 2 weeks to work on it.
It will take you 2 months to get good at it.

#2: Repetition isn’t punishment:
Just because I said it, I don’t assume you heard it. So I’ll say it again. Just because I demonstrated it, I don’t assume you saw it. So I’ll show it again. Just because I taught it, I don’t assume you understand it. So I’ll teach it again.

#3: 4 Non-Negotiable Rules:
Be early. On time is late.
Always tell the truth.
‘Listen’ with your eyes.
Play as hard as you can.

These 3 Coach Locke-isms are every bit as helpful today as they were when I learned them from him almost 20 years ago!
