BREAKING NEWS: Carle Health has announced that its healthcare plans through Health Alliance will cease business at the end of this year. This is a developing story:

Watched and met with @Coach_DeVries the past two years while covering @hoops_mvc while he was at Drake. Not surprised with the West Virginia win over #3 Gonzaga. One of the good ones! @WVUhoops

Good leaders don’t think like everyone else. They don’t make excuses. They don’t let the noise impact their decisions. They are not afraid of going first. They will not tolerate the status quo. And, they never turn down the help they need.
Ball has to move boys!!
Ball Reversals 🤝 Paint Touches
Data like this is extremely powerful. This is a study of 12 'high level D1 schools'.
Regardless of level, the goal is to get to 1.00 PPP. Out of any system/style, this data shows us the key to having an efficient offense is having an element of penetration and kick.
Paint touches, and paint touches + ball reversal limit the amount of straight line close outs. They also slow down defensive decision making, which keeps the offense in a big advantage situation.
PAINT TOUCH + BALL REVERSAL is a MUST in half court and secondary transition. Think DOMINOES.
An easy way to teach this is to constrain the score differently:
- no paint or ball reversal is +0
- paint touch is + 1
- paint touch + ball reversal is +2
- explain/emphasize hockey assists and TRACK THEM

Too often, people stand around and say, “I don’t think that’s right,” but they don’t do anything about it.
Let’s stand up and be accountable for what we believe, so when they put you in this ground years from now, you can say, “We made a difference.”
Vanessa and I really enjoyed watching the Golden Arrows and the North Patriots battle thru a 5 game gritty contest. #5 and #12 respectively can PLAY! Great visiting with your families too! Battle on brothers!
