The actual secret to greatness:
Pick your thing.
Pick a good system for your thing.
Surround yourself with people who support you doing your thing.
Do your thing for a decade.
Go all in with what you believe in with your coaching.
If you believe in zone, burn the ships and be disgustingly good at your 2-3.
If you believe in Princeton, commit all the way.
If you believe in conceptual offense, ditch everything else.
The last 5-10% is the hardest. Go all in.
DUSTY MAY WINS IT ALL IN ONLY HIS SECOND YEAR AS MICHIGAN’S HEAD COACH 😤
He’s just the fifth coach in NCAA history to become a champion in his first two seasons at a school 👏
@bballbreakdown Serious Q: is there ever a time for a static warmup? If I’m about to do a barbell snatch or clean and jerk, should I skip high pulls and hip contact drills? Should pitchers skip long toss?
Underrated coaching truth:
The best coaches aren’t obsessed with talent.
They’re obsessed with effort.
With attitude.
With toughness.
Because when it gets hard,
that’s what still shows up.
No matter your view of the Cam Ryans game-winner to take the Regional Championship, it was a shot that will go down as one of the greatest in West Michigan tournament history.
Thanks to everyone who sent me their angle, here is a compilation of The Shot
@Factorybball The first clip you can't see if he drags his pivot foot, which is totally possible the way he moves. The second clip is a travel because it's not the same as the OP.
I know MHSAA hoops playoffs aren't perfect, but how can anyone hate a crosstown rivalry on a Friday night for a trophy? Muskegon/Rockford, GRC/CC, South/Unity, Fruitport/SL, Huron/Pioneer, KC/PC, Cass Tech/King, Bloom Hills/Brother Rice.
@Factorybball Nope Walt. By your logic can't take a legal layup because it doesn't specifically say so in the rules. Starting from the top, the rule says "traveling is moving a foot or feet in any direction except for the things below... lifting the pivot foot to shoot or pass"
@Factorybball A allows for a layup, B allows for a jump shot. They are independent from one another, not an add on. How in the world would you teach a kid to do a layup under your interpretation of the rule?
