Ability to coach > Your playing career.

I cleared about $1,800 per month as a full-time DII assistant. I cleared $2,800 per month as a rookie elementary PE teacher. Nights, weekends, holidays, and summers off. 😂 As I’ve said before, if you’re chasing money in coaching...teach and coach instead of coaching college!

When I coached HS basketball, we literally had no calls in the half-court. We just played. We taught reads and concepts and just played. I encourage others to do the same. Players love it. They get to take ownership. It becomes theirs. And it’s way less frustrating!

I’ve been at the NCAA DI/DII levels and I can tell you straight up: you’ll be hard pressed to find any better facilities than those here at NCAA DIII Roanoke College! #GoNoke Break the misconceptions of DIII 💪🏼

DIII coach here! I love that at DIII, you can do it ALL. Play multiple sports, study abroad, do internships, be involved on campus, enjoy your summers and other breaks. And there are a lot of sweet DIII gyms/facilities too like here at Roanoke!

Division III is not a relegation. The DIII EXPERIENCE is a CHOICE! Many players choose high-level DIII programs over DI/DII offers, not bc they “aren’t good enough” for DI, but bc they love the @NCAADIII philosophy! No clue what I’m talking about? Find a DIII coach and ask!

Advice to coaches: Don’t base your happiness on your coaching career. I put all my eggs in the coaching basket and the last few months without a team have absolutely destroyed my mental health. Find other things to root your happiness in.

Women’s basketball staff stands up to talk to a kid coming out, gets yelled at by officials. Mens basketball staff are all up walking around, standing, on the court during play, yelling at refs…nothing. Big discrepancies in how women’s coaches are handled vs men’s coaches.

One the of the most effective and simplest zone motions I’ve ever ran. Love this action!

The revolving middle in “Zone Motion” reduces some of the typical stagnation found in many zone offenses youtu.be/KfQnB8bwkSU

What if we did drills like these on the side goals of our gyms for a few minutes each day rather than on-air lay up drills? How much better would our players get at finishing compared to on-air layup drills that lack context?

Coaching is not simple. It’s not about “if we just do these drills, we’ll get better.” There is sports science. There is psychology. There is neuroscience. There is pedagogy. There is nuance. There is individuality. Coaching is not “drills and skills and we should win.”

If sports get cancelled in your neck of the woods this school year, you can thank all the people who didn’t wear masks, didn’t social distance, and didn’t trust the information from scientists and doctors.

Biggest shift in my philosophy over the past 5-6 years: not blaming players. Always asking: “What could I have done differently to put players in a better spot? What can I do to reach them if they aren’t doing what we need them to do?” Accepting full ownership at all times.
