Coaches: You can be both tough/demanding AND fun/loving.
You don't have to choose one or the other.

Coach Pocius: 1AAA coach of the year with a 18-10 record, team broke the schools scoring record, multiple academic championships, multiple players played/playing in college, multiple honors for players, 1AAA Section Rep.
When will the time arrive when School Administrators start “walking the walk” instead of “talking the talk” with comments such as “I am dedicated to fostering a culture of belonging, where every student and every staff member feels valued, supported, and empowered to succeed.” ????
Thank you to those who do “walk the walk”

Coach Biwan over the course of 10 years built and established a respected and competitive program and developed players who had success in high school and moved on to the collegiate level. So Blake School leaders, with an Interim- AD, buckle to threats of an individual or individuals, to pull their donations to the school because of playing time, especially during the 2026 tournament run????? - how sad and selfish plus a poor life lesson for their children. Hopefully Coach Biwan will have coaching opportunities in the near future to continue his proven abilities to teach, coach, and develop student-athletes while building a respected and competitive program.

When I was hired to coach varsity basketball at just 26 years old I thought I was God's gift to basketball. You couldn't tell me anything. I knew it all.

Well, heading into Christmas break in my first season I was 0-9. And I realized quickly how little I knew. My players were getting suspended. My offense was messy. My emotions were all over the place.

I dreaded people asking me how it was going. Quite frankly my team was awful and I had no control. I quickly felt like maybe coaching wasn't my thing.

After I got done throwing a pitty party for myself, I hit the reset button.

I started asking others for help. I read more books. I hired assistants. Every week I'd text or call another coach and pick his or her brain.

Turns out, you're much better off with others in your corner than standing alone with your chest out. Shocking. I know. But as coaches it's what we default to.

"My stuff is the best."
"I don't need to adjust."
"I don't have time to read."
"It's the kids not my system."

So when I finally won, the emotion that overtook me was gratitude.

I was thankful for every person that poured into me when I didn't deserve it. I was thankful to God for giving me a platform that I didn't think would ever happen. I found myself extra grateful for every little thing that I had disregarded beforehand.

My advice to young coaches entering the field...Acknowledge that you don't have all the answers and that you need help. Find a good staff. Ask for a mentor. Read. Watch extra film. Success starts with humility.

“It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly…who spends himself in a worthy cause.” – Teddy Roosevelt https://t.co/9PyVcSBn13

@shawnfury @fury_paguy The next Vikings GM?

[Shawn Fury @shawnfury]

Yeah Trent Kirchner is now a two-time Super Bowl champ but those in the know remember him as a fine field general for the Fulda Raiders back in the day.

Six years ago today, we lost Kobe Bryant.

But the Mamba Mindset didn’t die.

Kobe didn’t rely on motivation.
He built standards.
Prepared in the dark.
Obsessed over the process.
Trusted what he trained under pressure.

What’s one standard in your program that never changes? 👇

[Greg Berge @GregBerge]

Tony Bennett didn’t let the 2018 loss define his program.
He doubled down on humility, standards, and response.

A year later?
National champions.

Adversity doesn’t define teams.
Response does.

What’s one standard in your program that never changes, win or lose? 👇

[Greg Berge @GregBerge]

Tough teams aren’t built by motivation.
They’re built by standards.

Pressure exposes habits.
Tom Izzo builds the right ones.
