Hoop Herald

There might not be a colder pure baller in the country Her handle is filthy 42 points tonight Women’s hoops have come a LONG way

It’s time to start talking about Ryan Odom as one of the best coaches in the country - Beat 1 Seed as HC of 16 seeded UMBC - Tournament at Utah State - Tournament at VCU - 3 Seed last year, 2nd in ACC - Now, they are a legit Championship Contender

Steph Curry on the crazy shot to end the half “Every shot that I take in the game… I’ve tried it or done it in practice or in training.” “And then you just start to see angles, and your touch takes over.” Nothing he does is random. It’s REPS plus the confidence to go try stuff. What’s one shot you practice that you’d never try in a game? (Via @jinthirty 🎥)

Erik Spoelstra just gave a coaching lesson that has nothing to do with X’s and O’s “I can’t wait to develop a real deep, authentic relationship with Giannis…” “I was able to share some coffee and tea with Bam and Giannis. That’s a step. It doesn’t always have to be about basketball.” Players run through walls for coaches who KNOW them (Via @TheHeatCentral 🎥)

We were INCREDIBLY lucky to live during the era of Steph Curry as basketball fans Gave kids hope, changed the game, reinvented what is possible on the court “As long as I have my health, this crowd, and my team I'm going to give it everything I've got.”

These breakdowns from @sbill30 are elite So much good content out there for coaches who take their job serious and want to get better

This buzzer beater is wild Had us thinking - What is the craziest buzzer beater you have ever seen?

The former CEO of Nike learned leadership from Phil Jackson John Donahoe saw what the best head coaches do They aren’t focused on being the star They build the team They put the right people in position They make everyone around them BETTER That’s coaching. That’s leadership. Same job. (Via @HowLeadersLead 🎥)

Here are some great words from Arizona State Head Coach, Molly Miller, as we approach our Sundays “If you can practice gratitude, what it will give back in return is a joyful life.” Perspective and focusing on what you DO have is a major key to happiness

Devin Booker went on a nine-point run late Suns 102, Rockets 99 “Just anything to win at all costs.” Then he zoomed out “It’s a reference point for us with a relatively new team. I said it the other day, I feel like we’ve lost every way possible. I think this is a good reflection point where if we start a game hot and a team brings it back, you still have life. There’s still another half of basketball left.” That’s a closer talking like a coach (Via @DuaneRankin 🎥)

Duke Commit, Asa Montgomery, looking good tonight in a huge battle against Grayson

Luka Doncic on the logo threes after dropping 53 on Portland “It doesn’t surprise me. I practice it a lot…” That’s the part people skip The range looks like magic in a game It gets built in an empty gym And he still finds JOY in it (Via @InfanityTV 🎥)

I love this honesty from Mick Cronin He says great players make great coaches, and this is something a lot of egomaniac coaches need to understand A few weeks back, Green Bay’s Head Coach, Doug Gottlieb, said Coaches are way more important than players Which is it?

This is a hilarious clip Anyone who has ever had the misfortune of getting a Technical Foul as an ASSISTANT coach knows how Kimani Young was feeling You can see the exact moment Hurley realizes it was his Assistant, not him, that was getting T’d up

If this dude went to Duke or Kentucky it would be the only thing everyone is talking about 29 points at only 17 years old this early in his college career LOTTERY

Steve Kerr says Gregg Popovich could bench you and still make you feel good about it Kerr called him the best he’s ever seen at delivering a hard message the right way It was matter-of-fact But Kerr knew how much he cared The difference was CLARITY Not “keep your head up, you’ll be fine” It’s “here’s why” “The way you deliver the message is everything” What’s one thing you’d add when the news is hard?
