[The Daily Coach @TheDaily_Coach]

Soon after Charlie Strong was fired at Texas in November 2016, he went home and isolated himself in his office. He picked up a yellow legal pad and started writing. Day after day, page after page:

What could I have done better?
What really happened?
What are you going to change?

Sean McDermott is doing something similar right now. After nine seasons and a 98–50 record in Buffalo, he built a new routine from scratch, including six to eight hours of self-assigned film study daily.

Dan Quinn, fired by Atlanta after a 0-5 start in 2020, put it plainly: "I wasn't going to be the blame person or a victim. I've got to gain something from this."

The thread running through these men is the willingness to treat failure as a curriculum.

Many people, when they get knocked down professionally, either rush to the next thing or retreat into bitterness. The coaches who come back stronger tend to do something harder: they sit in the discomfort long enough to learn from it, and they ask the questions that have no flattering answers.

When was the last time you sat with a difficult question long enough to fully answer it?

When things go wrong, do you reach for the next opportunity, or reach for the honest question first?

As McDermott told The Athletic: "When you stop asking questions, that's when you get yourself into trouble."

Excited to be apart of something special, time to get to work! Gods plan 🙏🏽 #GoNavy

[Juco Offers @JucoOffers]

We have MULTIPLE programs still needing players at ALL positions (1–5)

Full rides, partials, and roster spots are still available—but they are going FAST.

If you are STILL UNCOMMITTED and serious about playing this upcoming season…

This is your window.

We work directly with college coaches and help players get in front of decision-makers QUICK.

⚠️ We are only taking a LIMITED number of players TODAY to push out to coaches

📩 DM “OFFER” NOW if you’re serious

@8Ballahoopinsi1 I don't agree with that. You can still teach development. You can't teach team concepts during 1 on 1 skill training.

[Scott Eisberg @SEisbergWCIV]

The transfer portal is a wild place.

@CitadelHoops surely just pulled one of their most unique transfers.

He'll be a 30-year-old junior.
A father.
A navy veteran.
He never played HS hoops. Went from military teams, to JUCO, to Green Bay to here.

Meet Mel Bethea.
