ONE OF THE BEST COACHING RUNS EVER.
Bennett Stirtz’ college career comes to a close.
‘22-‘24 Northwest Missouri St (2 Time All-MIAA, 2 Time MIAA Champion)
‘24-‘25 Drake (MVC POTY, MVC Tourney MVP, All MVC, MVC Regular Season & Tourney Champ, NCAAT win)
‘25-‘26 Iowa (All Big Ten, 1st E8 at Iowa since 1987)
Exciting white.
Iowa has so many options out of this Horns/Chin series
Could watch them develop all day
This is why they are playing their best offense at the end of the year - It keeps evolving
McCollum is a mastermind
If Ben McCollum & Curt Cignetti can’t convince AD’s that it’s a smart idea to give super successful D2/D3 coaches a shot idk what ever will.
Real time proof that coaching and culture matters, even in the NIL era. Sure, hire a famous pro to recruit. How’s that worked out?
Ben McCollum (Northwest Missouri St)
In honor of casual fans just finding out who he is:
Here’s the best ball movement clip of all time. 🏆🏆🏆🏆
-12 passes 🔥
- 8 dribbles 🏀
- 6 sided possession ✅
Bill Self is elite.
Tom Izzo is elite.
Mark Few is elite.
Rick Pitino is elite.
Dan Hurley is elite.
Rick Barnes is elite.
Matt Painter is elite.
John Calipari is elite.
Kelvin Sampson is elite.
All of their teams are still alive.
Maybe (just maybe) coaching matters.
They played a weak schedule. Couldn't beat anybody from a major conference. Auburn deserves bid. Akron stole a bid. MAC 'sucks'? Fact is Western Michigan played Miami tougher than SMU. So did Buffalo/UMass/Kent St/Akron/Toledo/Ohio...but MAC sucks?
Congrats @MiamiOH_BBall
Want to win close games in March? Be boring.
- play off two feet in the paint
- throw on-target passes
- hit free throws
- take on balance, great shots
- finish around the rim
- secure rebounds with two hands
- don’t gamble on defense
Boring is cool. Boring wins.
Yesterday I got to be a part of an interview series for our support of @CoachesvsCancer this week at @IMGAcademy ! This week basketball coaches across the country will show their support wearing Suits and Sneakers!
Bringing this awareness to the forefront is so important!
If you want to play college basketball, you can’t step on the court with no effort or energy. No college is recruiting players who don’t compete. That lack of effort is disrespectful to the game, your family, and everyone who believes in you.
