Some kids wanted to be firemen when they grew up, some wanted to be astronauts, some wanted to be ninjas, but I wanted to coach high school basketball. This is a blog about coaching basketball and basketball in general. I have a deep passion for basketball and am going to use this blog to share that passion with others as well as expand my own knowledge and ideas. I might post Xs and Os, drills, coaching ideas, or just random thoughts on basketball. Enjoy!

Another Cautionary Tale
The video is a great reminder for players that no matter how much talent you have, you are not guaranteed to make the league. It takes a lot more than talent. It's also a great reminder that taking care of business off the court is far more important than on the court. As a 7th grade teacher I have a lot of young men (and women) who think their athletic talent is going to take them where they want to go - this shows that is just not true. I would encourage you to share this with your team as a cautionary tale. Also important to point out that this was filmed in 2009, Victor Page was just sentenced to ten years in prison this week.
