Long thread no one asked for on my experiences with #CLA (constraints led approach) in the wild as a basketball coach working with smaller school high school players...
So proud of this young man. From China Spring HS now to professional Basketball. The most complete player I’ve ever been around. Cant wait to watch some Euro League Basketball!!
How do you control chaos/physicality with defense calling fouls instead of on ball player? We have offense calling- and while it can be soft/tight it limits any other nonsense.
What format do you use for open gym?
-Games to 7 by 1s and 2s
-No inbound after a make
-Defense calls fouls
-“Validate” the win with a free throw
-Winners court and challengers court
@DallasLoveField whoever came up with this idea is an absolute genius. If the @dallasmavs donated the $$ for this I might just have to buy a Maxi Kleba Jersey in support. As a parent of an over energetic toddler- thank you!
Def didn’t want to end up #500- but no one better in this business than @CoachSnell. Learned so much going against you these past 4 years- hopefully I don’t end up #600. Congrats coach!
🏀Congratulations, @CoachSnell on 500 Wins 🏀
23 Dedicated years as our Head Basketball Coach here at Connally ISD, We Thank you for all you have done and continue to do! You have been one Great Leader through out the years to MANY young Cadets!

Big shoutout to all the players I’ve gotten a chance to coach! Thanks to my wife and family for making this for me! Get to be around great people everyday.
Final: Varsity Boys Basketball
Wimberley Texan Tournament: Game 1
China Spring - 56
Marble Falls - 42
The victory was also Coach Phil McCaslin’s 100th career win as a head coach.
Congrats @philmccaslin@BasketballChina
RIP to the greatest champion of all time. Underrated player, activist, and person. Broke ground in so many ways on and off the court. Our game and our nation owe him so much. Rest In Peace Mr. Russell
I accept the challenge and nominate

2024 Young Pro Global went 4-2 this weekend in the @hoopseen Best of the South tournament. They played up in the 17U division. Great development opportunity for @ZachMay2024 and all the players! Thanks @IceTrayBU, Coach JB and Coach Rogers!
@TeachHoopsBBall 4 min! That’s an ETERNITY. Depending on what type of player my best player is if we get a stop we’re about to go 4 corners and put our stud at the top of the key and let him go work. Most important tho-
1. No O Rebounds
2. No Gamble Fouls
3. No Live Ball Turnovers
Then the draft picks cut in half.
Bridges and DA and 2 picks is still@better than any other package.
He’s in year 16. Stud but we’re talking maybe 3 more great years.
Nets give up
Kevin Durant
Suns give up
Deandre Ayton (sign and trade)
Cam Johnson
Dario Saric
2023 Unprotected First
2024 Unprotected First
2025 Pick Swap
2026 Pick Swap
Gives the Nets some draft capital they lost in the Harden deal and 2 young players.
Who says no?
1. Who runs it?
2. Who pays for it?
3. Who installs it?
4. Is it for sub-varsity games as well? Tournaments? Aux gyms?
I think a charge circle is a more pressing need. Every complaint about the shot clock is easily fixed yet every “bonus” of a shot clock no one answers ☝️
I might need @JaimeBoswell2 help here to spread this among the hoops audience..but whats the overall take on #txhshoops coaches on adding a shot clock? Is there more support on the boys side vs the girls side? More support in 6A vs 1A? Interested in hoops coaches takes here
