Never expected it to repeat itself, but when it did, we had to try and recreate the pic😊
My role player champs who I love SO much, got a little more involved this weekend to make sure they could recreate this pic🥇
Did I mention I’m a proud Dad of my role player champs😍
My Dad gave me this advice 30+ yrs ago✅
Accepted first job out of college. Got offered another job for 10K more the next day, and wasn’t going to take it because I didn’t want to go back on my commitment. My Dad told me you have to take care of you first, because no one else will. Great advice🎯
I actually did the same thing to become a college coach…accepted HS AD job and called back next day after being offered college 🏀 coaching job🤷🏼♂️

Corporates don't even give pensions anymore. In real world if you aren't worried about yourself no one else will.

I back the part “if money is your main goal then we don’t want you here”. I don’t think enough people help athletes find their fit.
But the stuff about not real life is straight BS🙄 Dusty May had 3 jobs in 4 years and is at the top of the profession in the NBA. And CoC has had 3 basketball coaches in 6 years…so maybe it actually is real life🤷🏼♂️
Moving jobs to better yourself and your career is exactly real life, regardless how fast you do it.

My Dad and uncles all represented a branch of the military🇺🇸
I’ve always admired them, and their military brothers and sisters, who swore to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic🇺🇸
Thank you for your service🫡
I don’t normally do this, but since it won’t dox him, just know a Minnesota assistant appreciated this post on their EOG preparation and execution🤝
Dude never came off the field! We were rebuilding a program that played them that year. I remember during film putting the red laser on him every play so our players learned what toughness looked like. Every. Single. Play. Including special teams…he brought it😤 Also my favorite player from my alma mater #WeAre
Paul Posluszny. Hopewell. WPIAL Championship appearance in 2002. His senior year he rushed for over 1,500 yards and 15 touchdowns. He would go on to be drafted 2nd round as a linebacker by the Buffalo Bills and also a lengthy career with the Jacksonville Jaguars in which he made the pro bowl in 2013 when he led the NFL in solo tackles. This is 25 championship players in the last 25 years. Who could be the next generation of future stars at this year's WPIAL championship games?

ZERO doubt this has been worked on!! Talk about execution of an EOG situation…from how they rebounded, to the “cross the street” pass, to the 1 dribble in rhythm 3🔥 WOW🤯
UPDATE
1 went for 2nd straight double-double
1 scored 1st bucket of college career
1 got a head coaching win on their birthday🎂
Little bit of everything😋
🚨Old man alert…
Watching 3 former players at the college level. 2 playing on one side…1 head coach on the other🏀
Very cool!! But also reminds me of how old I am😩

We all love a good underdog story of hard work and grit, but the truth is a lot of times the scholarship is earned at conception🤷🏼♂️ (Go ahead, read that again🤭)
Doesn’t mean you can’t still get there. Just a MUCH more difficult path
The average height of a D1 WBB player is 5’10.7”
The most common height at the D1 level is 6’0”.
There are less than 100 D1 WBB players out of almost 5000 that are under 5’5”.
Height isn’t the only thing that matters by a long shot but it does matter to an extent.

Remember how I said I’m good with opponent hitting a tough shot at the buzzer as long as we pressure them? Welp, this is why…it happens🤷🏼♂️ The bank giving cash back🤑
Coach had a classic postgame interview IYKYK😂 Including this gem, “Probably the best thing to happen to us is I didn’t have a timeout and they just went”
Offense loves chaos in this situation. Defense, not so much #BeYouCoach
I’m not big on having designated captains because I’d prefer the whole team is full of leaders.
But I know for coaches who do have captains, that it means they think highly of a player’s leadership.
Couldn’t be more proud of all the #StrickHoopsFam alum who are college team captains🖤💛 Says a LOT about the type of players/families that come through our program💯
#ATTACK #GetBuckets #StrickHoopsFam
I’m never going to make any money doing what I do. I don’t charge enough and honestly, competitors marketing machines just crush me🤷🏼♂️
But God has truly made me rich with the type of caring families that connect to our #StrickHoopsFam🖤💛 And at the end of the day, this life is WAY bigger than money or ball✝️
Great job Rocco and Remy👏
It’s official…
From the original post about being part of a potential State title XC team, to this one as they are part of an actual XC State Title team🥇
CONGRATS VIVIENNE AND JULES👏👏👏 Your #StrickHoopsFam is proud of you🖤💛
#ATTACK
First step accomplished…WPIAL XC Champs🥇
Next step…winning XC State title🏆
On and off the court, success follows Total #ATTACK trainees Jules (2029) and Vivienne (2028) Goshen of OLSH💯

This is a great point!
Do you have your “get back” built in your BLOB, like you do your Halfcourt offense?
I was lucky enough to learn that from a college coach while I was a HS coach. So it’s built into our alignment and BLOB action
Replying to @Coach__Strick
Been on this for years. I found missed blob shots added to a lower defensive transition stoppage percentage for my teams. It’s my poor coaching. lol. Think about it. Often your offensive Blob has players out of spacing and around or near the rim and can make it hard to “get back”
He called victory formation. As close to a guarantee win as you can get.
Team ran a play instead. Lost.
Feel for him. If you’ve coached long enough, you’ve seen some REALLY crazy stuff like this happen. He’s right, this video will be used for teaching sessions for years to come.
Guaranteed he’ll never again take off his headset and assume his team is getting in victory formation. He’ll make sure they are in it every time for the rest of his career. Some hard lessons we learn as coaches…some we didn’t even know we had to learn
Eh, what do you know coach?! You’re only a state champ and coach of the year🤷🏼♂️😉😂 #BeYouCoach

This point goes over the head of most.
I did an X and O with another college coach and they were one of best in nation on BLOB defense.
Exact quote: If you score 4 v 5 against me, I should be fired😂
Little extreme, but not sure people understand the 4 v 5 part of it.
Inbounds situations is only time your 4 v 5. I think it’s nice to have BLOB plays but honestly I’d rather get the ball in and play 5 v 5.
