Six seasons worth of the evolution of Flow O. No sets here, just fluent offense w/ a focus on creating space through screens & ball placement. Creating opportunities dependent on individual abilities & teaching them to hunt successful situations. hudl.com/video/3/127183…
Our job in developing is to provide opportunity. This looks different depending on the audience. With the elite, in group settings, it’s to introduce the iron to the iron, put them to the fire, and let them figure it out. #GratefulForTheirTrust #EncouragedByTheirGrit #GiveMore
The most important part of a plan is planning for the plan to not go according to plan.
I’ve said it before when I first heard it and will continue to push it. - Your gift isn’t for you. It’s for others. Wisdom. Wisdom is for you. Use your gift (we’re all equipped with one) for others and set aside time every day to listen, read, and question as you gain from it.
You want to develop toughness? Get around truth tellers. People that will break your habits, not your hearts.
No doubt that @TreyKeating30 is a dude. Got to coach against him this past season. He plays with pace, aggressiveness, hunts well w/o doing too much. Limitless range and controls the game. Deceptive athleticism allows his creativity at the rim to be on display as well. 👀👀
Word in from first set at @HGSL_HoopGroup Summer Jam. @ZeroGravityXL #1 ranked 17u Trey Keating went off for 41 points (13 3s)‼️ Taking full advantage of a sideline of college coaches last 3 days 📈 Interest: IVY Patriot America East NEC MAAC CAA PSAC
I see you @MaddoxBennett1! 👀

🚨🔊 Coaches in need of a 6’7” WING - elite shooter (bonus, he’s a lefty) that can lead a break and score at all three levels then it’s important to give this kid a look over the next several days. Great HS program and is equipped w/mental & physical toughness. Get 👀!!
Here is my schedule for @HGSL_HoopGroup Atlantic City Jam fest!
Excited to be directing this series 🙌🏼 We’ve been fortunate to see numerous players grow & develop in our program and go to do great things in basketball. It’s time to share the “secret sauce“ of habits, routines, mental, & PEOPLE you must be to make it achievable! #ShareTheGame

That hype is real
📈2026 Maddox Bennett (@MaddoxBennett1) should see a lot of attention as the calendar turns to July and eyes shift to the upcoming live periods 6’7” southpaw who shoots the cover off the basketball, hearing from a handful of Patriot/Ivy league programs ‼️🔥 #WildcatFam
Love this if it happens.
D’Angelo Russell is “widely expected” to sign a 2-year, $12M deal with the Dallas Mavericks when free agency begins, per @TheSteinLine More: tinyurl.com/25cnsmsc
Because by not holding you accountable, I can’t demonstrate to him the value in taking ownership. By allowing variance of the standard, I can’t show him what it means to live with morals and values. #BiggerThanBasketball

How we want to talk on the floor: ❌“Screen coming” - below average ❌“Screen coming right, right!” -average ❌“Screen right, get over get over! - above average ✅“Screen right, under under I got switch!” - elite Be explicit with what you want and that guides the coaching element
Talent is overrated. Give me the player who: ✅ Plays to win ✅ Can be trusted ✅ Shows up on time ✅ Listens and learns ✅ Works their tail off ✅ Embraces their role ✅ Makes the right reads ✅ Brings energy every day Talent without this is a headache.
Once had a player clap when he was not involved in a drill or during instruction for the duration of an hour and a half practice..alone. The next day, a couple more clapped. The next day a few more. That player has more hardware than any player to put on the uniform. #BeDifferent
As a coach, I want my studs built like SGA. What a quality human being. Recognizes the value of #2 all the way to the custodial staff. If your best is exemplary like that, you’re going to achieve whatever greatness is capable from the group. Maybe more.
