- Love this from Mike Malone! Every coach should hear this!
- I don’t understand why Jeff Goodman and ESPN keep giving LaVar Ball air time - so he can keep bashing Laker coaches and teammates! Unbelievable! Get off the Ball bandwagon! @espn
- Watching a 4th grade team made up of players from 5 different schools play a 1-3-1 half court trap - are you kidding me!! Coaches with an ego at this level - despicable! Get ur youth tourney medal for your man cave!! #teamiowa @USABYouth
- No way should 5th grade teams be allowed to play zone defense!! Coaches all about winning and not teaching young players how to play! Winning is NOT the goal for youth teams but only an objective while developing the skills! @USABYouthYet another zone today but this time in a 5th grade game. Congrats to the Iowa Hoops AAU program for not teaching your kids the game correctly.
- Coaches must have forgotten to practice this!! Gotta Love It!
- This March Madness tournament is a great example of what we tell young players all the time - at some point your athleticism will be negated by skill!! Saw this time and again by Loyola, Abilene, North Texas, Ohio, Drake, Oral Roberts! @usabjnt @USABYouth
- This is exactly what we at USA Basketball have been saying - youth coaches should be more concerned about developing players than filling their man caves with trophies because their team played zone defense!! @jj_redick @USABYouth @usabasketballBREAKING NEWS: All youth basketball coaches should take 1:01 out of their day to list to my man @jj_redick speak 💯 truth!

- Greg McDermott from Creighton University shows one of his many out of bounds play to score! The master of special situations! Great to see for coaches! @usabasketball
