Feel bad for all the kids I’ve coached. Didn’t even get the best hooper in our house. 🤣
Mrs. Brew won Regionals. Went to state in the IHSA 3-Pt Showdown, finished Top 5. 1,000 pts.
Happy Birthday to the GOAT! 🐐
One day I’ll get her to join the staff, then y’all in trouble!

Happy Bday Tori!
In 2016, as a So. on a team w/ 9 Srs, she delivered my first career walk off buzzer beater.
In the huddle, she realized she was getting the ball & said “I don’t want it.”
I replied, “Better do something w/ it bc you’re getting it!” Boy, did she!
#TP13 FTW!

Don’t think any way is right or wrong, in general. Likely should depend on:
1. Your coaching style.
2. Your team’s strengths.
Early on, I was a firm believer that you don’t run anything you haven’t practiced.
Now I draw crap up all the time.
Here’s two main reasons why: (1/3)
Saw this elsewhere and I'm curious - as a coach how many times do you draw up something brand new in a huddle? A set play, defense, etc because of an in game adjustment. And by new, something you never ran in practice.
18%Never
17%Often
65%Only in an emergency

1. I do not have a perfect answer for every problem. I make mistakes & I own them. Practiced how to beat a certain zone we don’t face often, rather than let it fail or holler at the kids for not executing my flawed design, we change it up. Not just accepting defeat. (2/3)

Every coach (and human) has weird pet peeves, for some reason this is one of my biggest ones.
When we leave a gym, stop to eat, etc, anywhere we represent our program, we do not contribute to nor create desire paths. 🤷♂️

Happy Birthday, @ashleigh_wack!
Made me a better coach, husband and father bc coaching you taught me so much about the importance of having patience and controlling rage.

Got a tweener? Strong 3/Quick 4.
Go “5-out” & give her the freedom to decide her advantage: perimeter, low post or high post & let her go to work.
Guard: Drop to the block.
Post: High post or perimeter.
Barkleys. Escape 3’s. PNR. Gets.
Tough to defend all w/ same defender.
Some people call them "Barkley's", some people are now calling them "Brunson's". I say put your best players in positions to control the tempo of the game and win matchups.
POST UP YOUR GUARDS!

#1 on the roster, #1 in the record books, #1 in your hearts, Presley Meyer, the Daily Chronicle Athlete of the Year.
Presley Meyer said she wasn’t looking to accomplish anything crazy. Whether it was breaking basketball records or nearly qualifying for state in an event she had barely competed in, crazy accomplishments seemed to find the Daily Chronicle 2026 Girls Ath... shawlocal.com/daily-chronicl…
Summer send off! Final day of summer ball.
Had a 3-pt contest, PIG tournament and played some basketball bowling!
Capped it all off with some pizza and popsicles.
Thanks for a great summer girls!

POOR and GREAT game, back to back. But that’s what summer is about, learning to play w/ each other, picking each other up if it goes south & bouncing back. How do we respond/overcome those tough nights that every team is destined to face over a 31 game regular season? #ProudCoach

This is funny. I yell “Whistle!” if I need their attention.
Don’t have a good reason why I don’t use one. But I haven’t in a decade. 🤷♂️

Everyone’s path is different, I’d like to think I’ve improved each season, but what I can tell you with 100% certainty is that I would be a far worse coach without having had the low seasons.
When talent can’t bail you out, you learn what you need to get better at.
Coaches are really good when their players are really good. Never forget that.
I’ve been in a semi final game as a HC and I’ve also been 3-7.
I can tell you with certainty the 3-7 year was a better coaching job.
People who focus solely on W/L will always miss the mark.
