Such good stuff right here!!!! We touched on that yesterday during our practice! 💯🎯🏀
The best thing I’ve heard on help defense came from @kevineastman “Be there before you need to be there.” Too many times helpside is ineffective because it’s late arriving. In fact, if help is already where it’s supposed to be it will often deter drive and cuts from happening.

Golden State is a powerful example of what can be achieved when players collectively buy into their roles. No star brighter than another but different players stepping up at critical times.

Great 1st week of practice by our young men. They continued to work with a 30 minute bus ride 1 way to practice each day. Hopefully their drive to continue to get better stays high. Also thanks to my staff who is also extra strained from all of this. Long bus rides, late nights are the norm for these guys.

“Do you have the discipline work whether you feel like it or not?” Love this posted from an interview by @TheHoopHerald Everyone can work when they are feeling good and all is good, but when things aren't great can you still give 💯

Anyone with suggestions for a stand alone camera that can travel and do all the work on it's on please give suggestions. We aren't blessed financially in fact quite the opposite with our gym being destroyed by hurricane Iseaes. We normally film all games AND ALL PRACTICES. We have no home gym for either one so we need something that can easily be packed up to travel. We use Hudl but may not be able to afford renewal since other sports who went in with us to split the costs seasons are basically over so they want to wait until later to spend that money. Thanks in advance for any suggestions or help.

One of Coach Trent’s former players still checks in with him about basketball, school and life. They built that relationship here at Chipola, and it’s continued. That’s a pretty cool part of coaching.

Live this!!! 🎯💯
Team standards beat team rules. Three I’d write on day one: 1. Be on time (15 minutes early) 2. Do what's right (if you can't do it in front of me or your parents, don't do it) 3. Treat others how you want to be treated (life lesson) These 3 standards help a team, an individual, and a quality life lesson.

I've now seen 2 separate polls and neither of them had @CowleyHoops in the top 25. I guess I just don't know what to look for in the pre season scrimmages online. Not only would I have them in the top 25 I would have them in the top 5. We'll see how this post ages.

🗣”HOW TO COMMUNICATE CONSTANTLY ON DEFENSE” 1️⃣Repeatedly say you have the ball. 2️⃣Frequently say your Positioning off the ball. 3️⃣Intimidate & annoy the offense with your Voice. 4️⃣ Communicate a lot in Transition. 5️⃣ Talk on ALL Screens Early, Often & Loud
🥵 Here’s a little secret…CONDITIONING is MOST IMPORTANT in BASKETBALL! 🏆Preseason CONDITIONING TEST for your respective programs👇🏽 5 SETS👇🏽 1️⃣5 in 55 Seconds Rest - 60 Seconds 2️⃣5 in 55 Rest 60 3️⃣5 in 55 Rest 60 4️⃣5 in 55 Rest 60 5️⃣5 in 55 Stretch 🎥(via @BrooklynNets)

Same here coach. Practice is by favorite part! 🎯💯🏀
I love practice. You get to stop it, teach it and let them try it again. Seeing something finally click for a guy is one of my favorite parts of coaching.

So very true!!!! Always learning, always evolving. One of my dad's favorite sayings (he has a bunch of them) was you can't teach what you don't know. Holds true for every sport.
“Sometimes coaches brag about having 20, 30 years of experience but if all you did was the same thing every year and never learned or grew — all you have is 1 year experience repeated 30 times”

Thanks so much Marty. It is such a daunting task, but with God guiding me, my staff and family we will make the very best out of this situation.
Replying to @CoachA523
Coach….prayers are with you and your community. You were brought there for moments like this. Be the leader I truly believe you are for your students, players, families & your family as well!

Great stuff!!! Not a super great athlete comparatively. Gives to the masses someone they can actually strive to be like.
Most would be excited about seeing SGA and KD going at each other (we were too). However, my son and I were most excited about seeing star rookie Bennett Stirtz check in last night. Stirtz is so smooth, so good, and he publicly gives glory to God while putting his faith in Jesus. He is an incredible role model for children and beyond.

A lot of what I watch is away from the ball. Are you screening, cutting, helping a teammate? There’s plenty to do even when you’re not getting the shots.
