As an AD, I often wonder why questions about a specific sport are directed to me before the coach. A strong program is built on trust and structure. The AD sets the culture and expectations, but the coach is responsible for the day to day decisions of the program. That line matters.
This is what I'm talkin' about! This was UCLA John Wooden-style basketball. It makes perfect sense, because John Wooden was UCLA coach Cori Close's mentor. Every other Tuesday for 15 years, Close met with John Wooden.
When @CoachCoriClose spoke at my Training Camp event last year Sean McVay, Dabo Swinney, Eddie George and the other coaches said she was the best coach in the room. They weren’t lying.
"There's no Indiana women's basketball success without Coach Rhet."

Washington coach Gretchen Miles will receive a Point Guard College/Indiana Transformational Coach Award from the IBCA. It is given to coaches "who have impacted the lives of their players and fellow coaches at their school and within their community."
Old school coach memory. Next time you share your dislike for Hudl. Consider this.
It’s Friday night, your game film is on VHS. You gotta stack several VCRs together so you can make copies for your team. 6 hours later, 24 copies made.
Then you get up the next day to drive a copy across town to your next week opponent. You exchange film.
Head home to make more VCR copies to only find out the scout copy was crap. Some jr high kid shot the film.
You move forward with making more copies. Then spend your day driving them around town to your starters.
ready to turn up the heat with @usabasketball 🔥

Tonight, I watched a JV coach relentlessly press his opponent the entire game. Final score was 61-29. @DallasAWillard would call this the “disappearance of sport.” I fear young coaches have seen this modeled at the college level. Coaches! You can and should do better! #education
