FROM THE EDITOR, Rick Leddy

Movin’ On Up:

Four Division II Head Coaches Step Up to Division I For four years as an undergraduate and 36 years as an athletic administrator at Southern Connecticut State University, I was completely immersed in NCAA Division II athletics. I felt fortunate to be associated with outstanding coaches and teams winning multiple NCAA championships, athletes garnering 80 NCAA individual championships and three Olympic medals for the United States.

Earlier this spring, it was uplifting for this Division II “lifer” to see four NCAA Division II head coaches hired to take over Division I programs. This foursome included Lennie Acuff, going from Alabama-Huntsville to Lipscomb; Patrick Beilein, moving to Niagara from Le Moyne; Ryan Looney takes over at Idaho State following three seasons at Point Loma Nazarene; and Paul Sather stays in the Dakotas, moving from Northern State to North Dakota.

“Hopefully this is a trend for guys who prove themselves in Division II and deserve a chance,” said Acuff, who coached at UAH for 22 seasons with a stellar 437-214 wonlost record. “There were a lot of times when it might be one or two moving to Division I. Give credit to the athletic directors who feel comfortable in their own skin to make these decisions.”

The opportunity at Lipscomb came about as head coach Casey Alexander moved across town to Belmont University, where he had previously been an assistant, to succeed the retiring Rick Byrd, a Nashville legend.

“I always wanted an opportunity in Division I and Lipscomb and Nashville are a great fit,” Acuff said. “It’s been great since I arrived as everyone really loves basketball while the culture and values of the school are refreshing.

It’s not win at all costs.”

SUMMER 2019

The first of the four to secure a Division I post, Beilein remains in New York State after leading the Le Moyne Dolphins on the most successful four-year run in the program’s history. He guided Le Moyne to a 77-41 wonlost record, earned Northeast-10 Conference coach of the year honors in 2017 and 2018 with the Dolphins earning the top seed in the NCAA East region in both years. Le Moyne advanced to the NCAA Division II Elite Eight in 2018.

Beilein played at West Virginia for his father, former Michigan head coach John Beilein, who recently left the college ranks to become head coach of the NBA’s Cleveland Cavaliers.

Patrick Beilein had previously been a head coach at Division II West Virginia Wesleyan.

“ Hopefully this is a trend for guys who prove themselves in Division II and deserve a chance.”

Looney has been at Point Loma for three seasons and took his team to the NCAA Division II championship game in 2019, led

by NABC Division II Player of the Year Daulton Hommes. He was also the head coach for seven seasons at Seattle Pacific after beginning his career at Eastern Oregon.

“We had an extremely good year at Point Loma and I had no thoughts of moving on to Division I,” said Looney, who geographically had the longest move of this group. “This is a

NABC

TIME-OUT

great opportunity at Idaho State to simulate the success we had at Point Loma and for my family to get closer to our families in the Pacific Northwest.”

“Our priorities now are to develop relationships with the returning players,” said Looney. “It’s also been a rush recruiting but we have signed nine new players in 30 days.”

North Dakota announced its selection of Sather on May 30. The Minnesota native played as an undergraduate at Northern State for legendary coach Don Meyer and stayed on as an assistant coach for six seasons before a year as an assistant at the University of Colorado.

His first head coaching position was at Black Hills State before taking over as head coach at his alma mater. Sather has a career won-lost record of 282-151, including a mark of 62-11 over the last two seasons at Northern State. His team reached the NCAA Division II championship game in 2018, led Division II in attendance in each of his nine seasons and had a 100% graduation rate.

“One of the biggest challenges when you take a job and hire a new staff, you bring in new coaches and players, it’s like a tidal wave. Guys are calling either to be on your staff or want your old job,” said Acuff, who has been a Division II representative on the NABC Board of Directors for several years and is now third vice president.

Another Division II coach moving on is Jim Boone, who takes over at the University of Arkansas Fort Smith following seven seasons at Delta State. A collegiate head coach for 33 seasons, Boone finished this past season with 558 career wins, which ranks him 14th among active NCAA Division II coaches in wins

and among NCAA Division II Top 40 All-Time Winningest Coaches.

Possibly the most peripatetic coach in college basketball, Boone’s career spans time in Division I as well as Division II. He was the head coach at California University of Pennsylvania, Robert Morris, Eastern Michigan, Tusculum and West Virginia Wesleyan prior to his tenure at Delta State. He relishes the challenges of jump-starting programs.

“Our ability to go in and get a program engaged and headed in the right direction is something we’ve been pretty good at,” said Boone. “You have a roster of young men uncertain of what’s going to happen and the first priority is to put them at ease.”

“Since April, we have not only been indoctrinating the returning group but have recruited players who will stay true to you and the culture we’re building, even in difficult times,” said Boone.

In recent weeks, the times have been the worst they’ve been in Arkansas, including around Fort Smith, with historic flooding which hasn’t happened in 45 years.

Fortunately for Boone, he was able to move into his new home and the university campus has not physically been directly affected by the flooding, although many of the people who work there have sustained damage.

“I flew to a coaches’ clinic in Myrtle Beach and flying in and out, you could see how enormous the situation is,” said Boone.

“Anywhere you look around the Arkansas River takes your breath away with the damage and devastation.”

Just one more challenge for Jim Boone.

FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, Jim Haney

A Summer of Change for NCAA Division I Basketball Q&A with Executive Director Jim Haney The summer of 2019 is a summer of change for NCAA Division I basketball.

How do you see the summer evaluations playing out?

Without question the recruiting landscape this summer is changing from the past. As human beings, we tend to resist change because with change comes unknowns. In the competitive world of men’s basketball and men’s basketball recruiting, one naturally compares the anticipated changes to the regulations that governed recruiting in Julys of the past and how will it impact my program. Do the changes help my program, hurt my program or maintain the status quo. I expect there will be mixed reactions to the changes made. Those who do not like the changes will be the loudest voices and capture the most attention. That is not necessarily a bad thing. The June NBAPA Top 100 Camp, the June Scholastic Events and the NCAA Basketball Academy will be firsts for college coaches to attend as well as prospective student-athletes. The hosts of these events will receive feedback that can be considered for future changes.

How do you evaluate the success of these events?

This is a short question but the answer is not. Let me say first the NABC Board of Directors and the Ad Hoc Committee for Men’s Basketball were faced with a daunting challenge when the Department of Justice in the Southern District of New York announced to the world that there had been an ongoing two year investigation into men’s college basketball and that arrests had been made in conjunction with that investigation. The media, coaches and the general public speculated that there was rampant cheating occurring in the game. The integrity of our

SUMMER 2019

sport and coaches was openly questioned. As the Board and Ad Hoc Committee met to address how to respond, the overarching conclusion drawn were first, be part of the solution, not part of the problem.

All too often in the past, persons who spectated our sport, not persons who coached our sport, were proposing rules changes. Others, including NCAA administrators, would authorize change and basketball coaches had no input or impact on those changes.

Secondly, summer evaluation of prospects by college coaches was critical, particularly for programs outside the Autonomy Five Conferences who can evaluate prospects in a cost-effective manner seeing hundreds of prospects play at one site.

Thirdly, creating enhanced exposure to scholastic coaches and their prospects outside the academic year.

As time passed from the announcement by the DOJ, there were those proposing to eliminate summer evaluation altogether. It was an outcome the NABC Board and Ad Hoc Committee took seriously. It was very clear that summer would definitely not be the same going forward. When the NABC met with Condoleezza Rice’s Commission on Men’s Basketball, the goals were clear: be part of the solution not part of the problem, develop alternative summer evaluation opportunities for college coaches and prospects and create a window for scholastic operated events to be evaluated by college coaches. All three recommendations had an activation timeline of summer 2019. In the end the Commission’s recommendations supported many of the recommendations from the NABC Ad Hoc Committee including summer scholastic events and a NCAA summer camp.

TIME-OUT

The next challenge the NCAA had to manage, take the Commission’s recommendations for action and develop proposed legislation to enact those recommendations within three months. Seven working groups were formed to develop this proposed legislation including one that addressed the parameters of summer evaluation. The NCAA Board of Governors and the NCAA DI Board of Directors approved the recommendations for activation.

“ With the summer having arrived, with only eight months to bring these events into reality, we will learn a lot from feedback from our coaches.”

The next challenge was for the NCAA to coordinate with the State High School Federation and the three junior college associations a window for scholastic events to be evaluated by college coaches. A greater challenge was for the NCAA to create from scratch a camp for college coaches to evaluate prospects. It was a daunting challenge.

With the summer having arrived, with only eight months to bring these events into reality, we will learn a lot from feedback from our coaches. This summer of 2019 will become the baseline upon which to build for the future.

NABC

TIME-OUT

Finally, to answer your question, it is a notable achievement to have launched over 30 scholastic and junior college events and build a NCAA Academy. There is a commitment from the scholastic community, junior college associations and the NCAA to make these events work. The future will tell the tale of how successful these changes will be.

There is a lot of talk regarding the trials where coaches names were identified.

What are your thoughts on the NABC’s role?

Historically, the NABC has taken a wait and see position when the NCAA has opened an investigation into a basketball program. The NABC does not have an investigative staff to investigate possible wrongdoing. As a result, the NABC has waited for the NCAA investigative process to proceed to conclusion. There is only one time in the past 27 years that the NABC has taken punitive action. In 2004 the NABC Board formed an Ethics Committee and the Board charged the Ethics Committee to review NCAA infraction cases where coaches were charged with wrongdoing and penalties applied. There was a case where the Ethics Committee did take action but in so doing members of the committee had no interest in continuing to consider penalizing coaches. Within a few years the Ethics Committee was disbanded.

What has made the past year frustrating for all of us are the accusations as well as quotes attributed to coaches. It begs the question why the NCAA and/ or the NABC are not taking action. The NABC Board discussed this as recently as early May. The Board will continue to address this summer.

2019 GIVE BACK TEAM Honors 10 for Volunteerism and Service

NCAA Division I Team Members Sam Dowd, Senior, Guard, Idaho State University A recipient of the 2018 Most Courageous Award from the U.S. Basketball Writers Association, Dowd had to overcome hunger, abandonment and homelessness in his young life. He has used that as a platform to tell his story of overcoming such overwhelming obstacles in his young life, while highlighting leadership, teamwork and being kind to everyone at elementary schools in southeastern Idaho; assisted with a basketball camp for adults and children with special needs; spent time with the Portneuf Health Trust as a volunteer; worked at aid stations for the local Pocatello Marathon for two years; and participated in back to school events, greeting children on their first day of school.

“Sam has had a pretty tough life but what separates him is a great attitude…he doesn’t let things get him down. He is a positive influence with everyone, has tons of friends and is always willing to lend a hand. At Idaho State, he was a very valuable teammate and all-around good guy.” – Coach Bill Evans

JT Escobar, Junior, Guard, University of North Florida Escobar volunteered at Victory Weekend events with underprivileged children ages 7-18 with basketball skills while highlighting each person’s value and purpose as an individual, encouraging that each person is important; lead preacher for the ENC Campus Ministry that encompasses students from middle school through college providing insight into faith; meets weekly with individual students (nonathletes) helping to mentor and guide their daily path; Port St. Joe Hurricane relief helping build homes; volunteered with the local Alzheimer’s Association; and volunteers at the Sulzbacher Center Children’s Homeless Shelter.

“JT Escobar has always understood and practiced the value that serving others is much more valuable than wanting to be served. His recognition of that principle explains his selfless heart and also allows for people from around the country to see by his walk just what being a humanitarian looks like. We are extremely proud of how JT represents himself and our program and thrilled that others have recognized his contributions to the community.” – Coach Matt Driscoll

Aaron Jordan, Senior, Guard, University of Illinois Jordan participated in numerous events and activities this year including visiting Carle Hospital pediatric patients; the Special Spectator tailgate for children battling cancer; a program – One Selfie at a Time - for troubled children in the community sponsored by the Champaign County Probation Office; Big Brothers-Big Sisters holiday party; Thanksgiving Basket Drive; reading to children at numerous local elementary schools; and the Make-A-Wish Walk.

“I have so much respect and admiration for how Aaron carried himself throughout his career. He understands the responsibility that comes with being a high-profile college athlete and impacted our program and the community well beyond the basketball court. I have received so many emails and notes from fans, teachers, and leaders about the impact Aaron has made through his volunteer efforts. From elementary school visits to hospital visits, philanthropy events and charitable works, Aaron has been a constant presence in the community. He has endeared himself to Illini Nation and is a role model for our youth. We are thankful for his tireless work and to have him representing the University of Illinois and the Fighting Illini basketball program.” – Coach Brad Underwood

Trey Phills, Senior, Guard, Yale University Phills volunteers at Immanuel Missionary Baptist Church helping serve the community at its monthly food pantry; was a key participant in Alpha Phi Alpha’s “Go to High School -- Go to College” initiative at Barnard Environmental Magnet School in New Haven, which concentrates on the importance of completing secondary and college education as a road to advancement; spent many Saturdays at Barnard Magnet School with children whose parents work multiple jobs and could not look after them on weekends. He would teach, mentor and play with the children, providing them with an excellent role model; was a seminar leader for “Dear Black Athlete”, presented to Yale administrators and fellow students about the current climate for athletes of color who seek social activism.

“Trey was an outstanding player for our program over his four years, but he’s an even better person. Being selected to the NABC Give Back Team is more proof on the exceptional man that he has become. It was a pleasure working with him daily, and he will be missed.”

– Coach James Jones

Horace Spencer, Senior, Forward, Auburn University Spencer Volunteers regularly with the East Alabama Food Bank, sorting food and stuffing bags of food for residents of Auburn, Ala.; serves as a mentor with the Boys and Girls Club of Greater Lee County, spending over 40 hours with them during the summer; volunteers with the local Toys for Tots drive, organizing gifts and wrapping presents; volunteers with the City of Opelika Community Market, stuffing bags of food for area residents; helped to build a homes for a local wounded veteran with Homes for our Troops and for a local family with the Lee County chapter of Habitat for Humanity; greets and serves food to guests yearly at the annual Christian Women’s Job Corp Dinner; and visits children and cancer patients receiving treatment at the East Alabama Medical Center.

“To whom much is given much is expected. Auburn men’s basketball has won team community service awards here at Auburn and Horace has taken a leadership role giving back. I think part of the reason he has done that is because he’s grateful to the Boys and Girls Clubs and AAU basketball coaches in Philadelphia growing up who helped guide him. He also has a 2-year-old son, so he knows the importance of child development. I’m very proud of the man he has become.” – Coach Bruce Pearl

At the end of every college basketball season, there is an abundance of awards presented to coaches and players for their outstanding work on the court. For the last seven years, the NABC has selected another team of 10 men’s basketball student-athletes for their significant contributions. The 2019 NABC Give Back Team members have been champions away from the basketball court with their outreach and service on their campuses, in their communities and beyond.

NCAA Division II and III, NAIA Jordan Bonner, Senior, Guard, Wesleyan University Bonner planned, organized and executed the first Annual Cardinal Community Classic -- a 3 v 3 tournament with dozens of teams full of both Middletown citizens and Wesleyan students and raised $3,000 for breast cancer patients for the Schultz-Witowski Fund, which provides diagnoses and treatment of breast cancer to low-income patients at Middletown Memorial Hospital; organized a Hurricane Harvey relief donation drive to help provide resources to people affected by the storm in his hometown of Houston, Texas; helped raise funds through KIPP Charter Schools in Houston, which he attended as a child; mentored and tutored an underprivileged child as part of an after school program designed to provide role models and support for low-income youths in Middletown, Connecticut.

“We are extremely proud of how Jordan has represented Wesleyan basketball on and off the court during the past four years. Jordan is selfless, has a big heart and made helping others a priority. It will be fun to follow the next step of his journey.” – Coach Joe Reilly

Daniel Burchette, Senior, Guard, North Greenville University Burchette, who works locally in the community and campus, volunteered over the summer of 2018 with to travel with Crossfire, a nonprofit organization that has served international needs for over 30 years. Through the trip he had the amazing opportunity to speak and meet thousands of different people in 10 cities and three countries. The trip began in Japan, where the group met with over 1,300 school children followed by a 10-day journey in the Philippines. Burchette and the group spoke daily hoping to bring some encouragement and leave a positive impact on the children living in poverty. A basketball camp for boys ages 7-13 was held in the afternoon where the children would receive t-shirts, basketballs and bibles, followed by games against a Philippino team before crowds of 3,000-5,000. The final stop was in South Korea where the group participated in similar activities to assist the impoverished communities.

“Daniel has such a giving heart. He is a wonderful ambassador for North Greenville and our community. Daniel has given so much of his time to serve others both locally and around the world. We could not be more proud of him.” – Coach Chad Lister

Savonte Chappell, Junior, Forward, Christopher Newport University Chappell has been heavily influenced in his love for community service by his mom, a lead special-needs teacher in Hopewell, Va., where he assisted in helping the kids feel comfortable transitioning from functioning in the classroom to the general public; assisted at CNU with the Annual Kids First-Drive Safe-See them Smile initiative, a first day of school program for all public schools and over 500 athletes are stationed throughout the community encouraging safe driving and greeting kids coming off the school bus; On Campus and Conference Food drive Initiative raising over 10,000 lbs. for the food bank; worked with SLAM (Student Leader Athletes Mentors), a basketball mentoring program for at risk 4th and 5th grade males to help them with leadership and citizenship skills; works with small groups of kids in the Autism Sessions program, helping children with Autism spectrum disorder, focusing on communication, social skills, and fitness development.

“We are so proud of Savonte and the work he has done in the Newport News community, including some very important and life-changing areas, such as autism and food drives.

High School Coaches Have Active Roles

by Dave Archer, Sr. Director of Operations, NHSBCA

The National High School Basketball Coaches Association (NHSBCA) Annual summer Conference will be in Seattle, Wash., July 9-11, 2019.

The NHSBCA spent almost the entire previous 12 months in planning and then administering NCAA Men’s Division I Basketball June Scholastic Recruiting Events in member states. A portion of the Seattle agenda will be spent evaluating those events that the NHSBCA was involved in as well as planning for improvements. Time will also be spent evaluating partnerships/relationships with other entities we work with to make the best use of our talents and resources.

The June events aim at the high school players who might have the potential to play Division I basketball. As we know only around 2-3% of high school players will earn a basketball scholarship. The NHSBCA will now put attention and thought toward the other 97% of high school basketball players who will not play DI hoops in college.

encompassing nature of the job. Ways to achieve lifebalance and avoid “basketball fatigue” must be identified and implemented.

Attention will also be given to seeking ways for high school coaches to maintain a positive influence over his/her players who are being pulled in many directions by parents, club coaches, travel teams, coaches of other sports and basketball skills coaches. In the not too distant past there was a scholastic basketball season and there was an “off-season” for players and coaches to review, rest and readjust. Players had the opportunity to play other sports while maybe playing in a summer basketball league and/ or attending a week of basketball camp. Now there is a culture of single sport specialization where there is pressure from many sources to play basketball year around.

A historically favorite part of the conference will focus on the operations of individual state basketball coaches’ associations. All state associations were surveyed to identify topics of most interest to them. Best practices will be shared in the following areas: operations and events, recruiting members, member benefits, clinics, Halls of Fame, professional development programs, newsletters, websites, awards and recognition.

Our work in the June events is one important piece in the NHSBCA’s long-term goal of playing a role in helping to significantly change the culture of youth basketball nationally. We feel strongly that scholastic coaches throughout the country are in a strategic position to help bring about positive changes to our game. We will work collaboratively to work on a few of the areas we think need positive change.

The Summer Conference will include workshops, guest speakers, round table discussions, development of white papers and stances on issues. Visiting some of the sites of the Seattle area will also take place.

The topic of parents continues to be the number one issue identified by high school basketball coaches as a problem they face. At the very least it is hoped that the experienced and creative minds of those at the conference can develop a nationwide informational campaign to help parents understand more about the current youth basketball culture.

The National High School Basketball Coaches Association also serves as the High School Congress of the NABC. About thirty-five state basketball coaches’ associations and representatives of some states that do not have a basketball coaches association work together to improve scholastic basketball and scholastic coaches. The NHSBCA is the national voice for high school basketball coaches, working to foster high standards of professionalism and to support coaches. The NHSBCA conducts two general meetings per year, one at the NABC Convention and the other in July.

Additionally, the NHSBCA Executive Committee conducts monthly phone conference meetings. For additional information about the NHSBCA, visit www.NHSBCA.org.

Another major topic the NHSBCA will focus on at the meeting is growing the profession of being a scholastic coach. Actions need to be taken to recruit and properly guide new coaches. Also, scholastic coaches face year-round time pressures in what has become the all-

Ways to Get Smart About College Basketball Reform There has been no shortage of questions about the reform effort around college basketball in the past few months. The moment the Division I Board of Directors and Division I Council approved the legislative changes in summer 2018, hands started raising as athletics administrators and coaches began to figure out how to adapt.

The NCAA national office has developed educational materials to help members learn and understand the changes. There are quick overviews and deep dives designed to help everyone from the compliance administrator who must know every detail of the legislation to the coach trying to answer a student-athlete’s or family’s questions about hiring an agent.

Here are a few ways to inform yourself and others in your department about college basketball reform: One-pagers

Need more tools?

The NCAA Eligibility Center’s High School Portal includes these and many other resource and tools you can use as you mentor and guide your players toward their goals and success both on and off the court.

Q&As The one-pagers may not answer all of your questions, but there’s a chance a specific question will be covered in the series of Q&A documents that address various aspects of the reforms. These answers cover athletically related income and benefits, agents and advisors, degree completion and a half-dozen other topics. Find them under the Division I College Basketball Reform section at ncaa.org/governance/legislative-actionsand-issues.

Online at ncaa.org Need a summary of the overall scope of reform?

The NCAA’s website offers an easy-to-read synopsis of the legislative changes and why they were implemented. It’s perfect for educating staff outside athletics who need a general understanding of the reforms. Find it at ncaa.org/ about/committed-change.

These graphical summaries explain various aspects of the reform legislation in simple, clear language and are in a format that can be printed and shared. Need to brief your basketball staff on the new rules regarding agents? There’s a one-pager for that. Want to better understand the changes to the infractions process? There’s a one-pager for that, too. A dozen topics are covered with more on the way. Find them at ncaa.org/collegebasketball-reform-resources.

Be sure to bookmark ncaa.org/about/committedchange and check frequently for the latest information, resources and tools you’ll need to learn and understand the changes surrounding college basketball reform.

Don’t Leave School Without It! A Salute to Coaches Investing in Players’ Education

by Carey Casey, CEO & President of Championship Fathering

“ As a coach, you are in a unique position to help your players see the benefits, ideals and rewards of a good education— no matter what their background might be.”

When I was a kid, the message I often heard was: Get an education. At the time I was more into sports than books.

I dreamed of playing big-time college football and then getting drafted in the pros.

players will make it to the NBA or other professional leagues, but they can still “go pro” in another field of their choice.

You’re probably on board with the slogan “Don’t leave school without it” regarding their college diploma.

I’ll never forget when my dad dropped me off at the University of North Carolina.

He told me, “What you do on the football field is very important; they’re paying you with this scholarship. But even more, you need to ‘win’ in the classroom. You have to leave here with the sheepskin.” (That’s the word many people used to use for a diploma.) Pop said, “No matter what happens on the field, you’ll always have that. You can be among the sharpest minds anywhere, and that’s more important than football.”

Even if they don’t realize it now, you know that a diploma shows that they have achieved something that took real work and consistent investments of time.

As they get older, the degree will be more valuable than most of what they achieve on the court. It carries domain knowledge and instills confidence that they can succeed. It qualifies them to go through certain doors and attain advantages that will bless them in life.

Eventually I learned that my dad was right: going to class was a critical part of my dream. That was reinforced again a year later when I injured my knee and had to find a different path to pursue.

Over the years, there’s been a lot of progress in making a quality education available to more young people, but lately there’s a different tragedy taking place: Some don’t even value education, when not that many years ago people were struggling so hard for that privilege and opportunity.

Another challenging trend is that today’s young people are growing up in complex family situations, with a wide variety of experiences and expectations regarding their education. Were Mom and Dad present and involved? Did anyone stay in touch with school assignments and exams? In some situations, it’s a major victory to keep a child well-fed and get him to school each day; setting up good study habits and holding them accountable isn’t even part of the equation.

As a coach, you are in a unique position to help your players see the benefits, ideals and rewards of a good education—no matter what their background might be. And I hope I haven’t come across like I’m lecturing or preaching to you, because I know this is probably a major emphasis already.

You truly view your players as “studentathletes” and likely encourage them to pursue their degree as a key aspect of their future success. You’re very aware that, as the commercial says, very few

SUMMER 2019

I applaud you for your efforts to equip your players for life, not just the upcoming season. Don’t underestimate your ability to influence their educational success.

To close, here are a few practical ideas that you might already be using: Write a personal note to your players’ parents and tell them about your commitment to help the student succeed in the classroom. Keep their contact information handy in your phone and let them know you and the other coaches are “on their team”—you’re ready to work with the family in any and every way possible.

If you don’t already, make it a habit to ask your players about their educational pursuits. Don’t leave that to tutors or others who work with them all the time.

Even if you aren’t involved in their schoolwork every day, your interest and encouragement will send a strong message.

Do what is necessary to help your players stay on schedule. Help them get the assistance they need.

Once again, coaches, thank you for making these important investments in your players’ future.

MY TABLE Donnell Jones Pastor, Grace Covenant Church DC www.GraceCovDC.org

“ I’m not the best at waiting my table but I practice what I learn from great servers.”

This week our team enjoyed a spontaneous staff fun day at Farmers, Fishers & Bakers in Georgetown, Washington DC. The food was spectacular! Did I say spectacular? I meant to say “off the chain.” FF&B is a fully sustainable restaurant. So among other things, they bake their own bread from scratch. The bread that is plated with the artichoke and crab dip seems more like 2 appetizers because the bread is so good that you could eat it by itself. So the bread and dip together become an extraordinary moment. There is no need for words because your tastebuds explain everything to the rest of you. The appetizer fills your stomach. Goodness fills your soul. Eyelids close. Tears run down your cheek. Unforgettable.

Our waitress served all of us so well.

She made solid recommendations.

She kept refilling our glasses with ice water, sweet tea and soda. She made sure that our food was served hot. She made us laugh. We didn’t have to keep looking around wondering when she would return. The food was great but she made the moment special.

We were grateful for her attentiveness.

She was excellent.

Now if all this seems over the top to you, let me explain. The reason I pay such close attention the food and the way waiters and waitresses serve tables is because I’m learning by watching them. Although I have never had the privilege of working in a restaurant, I

too serve tables. In fact, so do you.

We live out our lives around tables.

We have tables at home, tables at work, tables everywhere. In life, there are tables you eat from and tables you serve.

My wife and my children are the first table I serve. These are the people at my table. You see as husband and father I have the amazing privilege of serving my family. I get to be attentive to them, give advice, make solid recommendations, and keep filling their lives. I’m not the best at waiting my table but I practice what I learn from great servers.

I want to encourage you to be an amazing server of your table. The gifts you give are great, but the greatest gift is you. Give yourself to your table. You will not always have them at your table so make this season of life special. Let them experience your attentiveness.

Smile often. Give your best advice and recommendations. Encourage often.

Leave them full and satisfied. May they experience you in such a wonderful way that even when you’re not at the table, the memory of you stays with them forever.

NOTRE DAME MOTION OFFENSE Mike Brey, Head Coach, University of Notre Dame 2019-20 NABC President

Our Goal of offense in our Motion and Full Court Motion is to be “Really Hard to Guard” Our Principles Offensively: • Great Spacing: We like our players to be spaced 12-15 ft. apart to help stretch the defense. If guys are too close then you allow one defender to guard two.

Put the defenders in uncomfortable positions is a key to good offense.

• Willing Passers: We stress every day to our players the ability to make the next pass when your teammate has a better shot. We tell our guys it is easy to do it in November and December. The real challenge to become a Championship Level team is are you ready to make that extra pass in February & March? A lot of teams can’t sustain that towards the end of the year.

• Screening: Screening has become a little bit of a lost art in basketball today. But in order to play good offensive basketball and get the best shot available, you have to be ready to sacrifice your body legally to help a teammate. That would include screening on and off the ball.

• Cutting: We really emphasize to our players to have the confidence to go without the ball when you are not open. Trust is a key word in our program and you have to have the trust that the ball will come back around.

One of my favorite quotes to our players: “When in doubt….Cut!” If you catch yourself standing too much a good cut can really help the group flow.

SUMMER 2019

• Flatten the Defense: In order to be the most efficient offensive team that you can be, we really believe you have to Flatten the defense to loosen them up. Some of the ways we accomplish this are Post Feeds, Hard Rolls after Ball Screens, and Short Corner Touches. This is also a great principle attacking zones as well man-to-man defenses.

• Changing Speeds/Tempos: A phrase we use all the time is the following: “Be Quick but Don’t Hurry!”. The essence of this game is deception and setting your man up. We teach our guys to take a few walking steps into your man and then explode out to be a greedy receiver.

How do we build these principles into our Motion?

Our 3-0, 4-0 routine is something we have had in our program since 2002 and we have added to it every single year to see if we can find different ways of attacking defenses. The one thing that it has really done is to teach our guys how we want to move offensively. It is through these movements that we lay the foundation for our Motion Attack. The following diagrams on the next page demonstrate a few of our 3-0 Movements we do every day in practice.

About to begin his 20th season as head coach of Notre Dame’s Fighting Irish, Mike Brey is the winningest coach in program history with a won-lost record of 412-205.

Adding his five-year record at the University of Delaware, Brey’s overall won-lost record is 511-257 with 14 NCAA tournament berths, including trips to the Elite Eight in 201415 and 2015-16.
