- Coaching high school basketball is not standing and calling plays - it’s TEACHING the game and assisting young people in their development into quality adults.“’C’mon Coach, I just wanna hoop … Six years later, I'm playing for Steve Kerr & we're doing the same dang thing. Coach DeBusk was on to something." @KlayThompson recognized his High School Coach at the 2019 Coaching Corps Game Changer Awards
- Note to all of the players of summer travel teams: please thank the people who made your summer experience possible. All of them spent money, their time and/or worked hard to make this all possible.
- HS coaches: remember many times there is a great resource nearby...the local retired coach. They have tons of experience and knowledge (and time) to come view a practice/game and give you a different perspective.
- So proud of these guys- @dhurley15 and @nate_oats are shining examples of high school coaches who made a successful jump to high major D1. AD’s, there are more of them out there, give HS coaches a look! #PeachJam @UConnMBB @AlabamaMBB
- High school coaches: never underestimate the impact you have on your players’ lives - now and into adulthood.
- Getting harder every year for HS coaches to do their jobs. Outside influences, unrealistic parents, unsupportive administrations. Sad...
- Today would be first day of @NikeGirlsEYBL. I feel for the girls who cannot play despite the hard work in preparing, the parents who sacrifice their love, time & money to support their daughters and the coaches/directors who dedicate so much of themselves to make it all work
- Good to see all of the positive press @JalenHurts continues to receive. Many parents of HS athletes could take a lesson from this 19 year old on how to act when your son/daughter doesn’t get the playing time you think they deserve.
- HS Coaches: while you’re finishing your final cuts, think about which player is going to be the best teammate in March, not in November. #culturewins
- At the start of the round of 32: Nike/Jordan 26 schools. UA 3 schools. Adidas 3 schools.
