@OregonProspect I’ll never understand why people get made about this… they are still eligible to play so why kill their opportunities

[Coach Mac 🏀 @BballCoachMac]

To have a great basketball team, every player must give up personal glory and accept their role on the team.

[Coach Mac 🏀 @BballCoachMac]

"Practice has got to be harder than games, and as a player; it never is unless you want it to be"

- John Calipari

[Dennis Marshall @mar5hallhoops]

I’m telling yall, improve your IQ and you can play almost anywhere.

[Portland Select @PDXselect]

Coaches how would you handle a player like Jimmy Butler?

[Portland Select @PDXselect]

True!

But it wasn’t the NBA… a couple teammates went on to play in Europe.

[Royce Morgan @PTSportsFix]

True or False: Someone from your high school became a professional athlete.

[Coach Mac 🏀 @BballCoachMac]

"You don't just be a team.

You become a team.

Through tough games you find that you need each other"

I’d be lying if I’ve never promised PT to kids. I learned quickly that just leads to poor work ethic!

Earning PT promotes the mindset that you have to work hard each and every practice and opportunity in game! That’s why I’ll never promise substantial PT to anyone now! 🎯💯

If you don’t practice right. You don’t play right.

If you don’t prepare right. You don’t play right.

If you don’t warm up right. You don’t play right.

If you don’t play right. You can usually start with yourself.

You can’t control how you play. You can control YOU !!

2 PTS, 3 REB, 2 AST, 1 BLK, 1 STL in 17 MINS

[Macon Progress Basketball @MaconProgressBB]

I’ve had college coaches ask me about players commitment level — and they specifically asked “Is he the type to miss tournaments for prom?”.

Just something to think about.

Your family might not understand if they aren’t sports ppl.

But this is a cutthroat business.

[Coach Mac 🏀 @BballCoachMac]

Individuals get better before and after practice.

Teams get better during practice.

AAU programs biggest recruiting pitch is the testimonies of other families. That’s why no matter how much of a business this is, it can never be bigger than the people. Treat people right, establish and maintain a strong culture and everything else is a breeze.

@Bella_Hoops Obviously bias being an AAU program, but do you think your same offers would have came if you didn’t play?

AAU doesn’t guarantee you’ll get any offers. AAU is an opportunity to play in front of people you normally might not and increase your exposure.

[Portland Select @PDXselect]

@bballbreakdown Couldn’t disagree more! Most world teams have 1-2 top players the US has so much depth it’s insane!

The only reason the world competes against us is because these rosters stay the same for the most part for years where as 🇺🇸 it’s different every time

[Portland Select @PDXselect]

[Ball is Psych @BallisPsych]

Your bench is the ultimate culture check.

Amateurs pout on the bench because they only care about personal glory.

Pros can’t sit still. They’re too busy celebrating their teammates with genuine joy and excitement.

Is your bench bringing the energy or draining it?

[William Payne @TweetsbyCoachP]

I say this with the utmost sincerity and directness…..

If you’re an adult that has to tear down another kid in an attempt to make your kid look better…..you are trash!

Have a good day.

[Portland Select @PDXselect]

The narrative the world has caught up to 🇺🇸 is insane…

The depth of the US teams are far superior to the rest of the field! Most teams have maybe 1 or 2 NBA players, meanwhile there are 15 NBA All Stars on the roster!

[Portland Select @PDXselect]

This right here is everything wrong with youth sports! This mentality is childish!

Because he didn’t play he should turn down his next opportunity? They won the game!

People today don’t understand how to fight adversity! They just give up! Complete lack of competitiveness!

[Jamal Cristopher @JamCristopher]

Tatum shouldn’t play in 28. Should turn it down
