[Coach Brad Bigler @CoachBradBigler]

If I were a 2027 High School Recruit…

AAU season means limited practices. Sometimes just 1–2 per week. That’s not enough to stay in a shooting rhythm.
You’ve got to get extra work in on your own.

Early in the week: high volume shooting. Less contact, lock in on form, build consistency, get reps.

Later in the week: game speed, game like intensity. Create shots off movement, simulate real situations, and build a scoring routine from all spots.

Chase efficiency. Move around the floor. Train with purpose.

State bound! This young Wolfpack team has shown heart all season long. Proud is an understatement. Glory to God!

Transactional vs. Transformational Coaching

Dan Hurley shared a story about asking Geno Auriemma for advice after a rough start last season.

Geno didn’t mince words:

“Listen, if the only gratification and the only part of coaching that excites you is winning the national championship, then you’ve lost your way, buddy! Where’s the joy in the things that you’ve always been about as a coach before you went on the championship run, like relationships with your players, like helping people get better, like making your team the best it can be.

Be a coach, man. This is when you really need to be a leader. This team isn’t as good as last year’s, so what the hell are you going to do about it? Are you going home? Are you going to let this thing unravel?”

That’s the tension every coach feels: Transactional vs. Transformational.

Transactional coaching is outcome-obsessed. It’s about the wins, the losses, the trophies. The problem? When results don’t come, your purpose crumbles with them.

Transformational coaching is different. It’s about people. It’s about growth. It’s about building something that lasts whether the scoreboard agrees with you or not.

And this is why mentorship matters so much in coaching. Left on our own, it’s easy to drift into a transactional mode without even realizing it. A trusted mentor can pull us back to center, and remind us why we started coaching in the first place.

To build relationships.
To develop players as people.
To make teams the best they can be.

Wins matter. But they’re not the why. The why is impact. The why is growth. The why is leaving your players better than you found them.

The process is the prize.

Stay grounded. Stay on the path. Always remember your why.
