I’m curious so I want to throw this scenario out to the group. Your career goal is to become a Head Men’s basketball coach. You are next in line to become a HS Head Boys coach taking over after the current coach leaves the position. You are learning and developing under the current head coach who stills has about 4 years left of coaching. During your time the Head coaching position for Women’s Basketball team becomes available at the same school. You have a great relationship with admin, the previous coach and the players who are returning. You are a great candidate for the position. Do you go for the women’s position? What will go through your head as you wok through making that decision?

I played on the practice squad at my university for the Women's team. What a great experience. From what I learned, it can be a little more difficult to convey what you want to the women's team, which would just make you a better coach overall!

General discussion

Do you agree?!?!?!?

I’m a big believer that kids should play multiple sports instead of specializing early. I know some people disagree and think they should focus on just one. What are your thoughts on this? And if you agree with multi-sport development, which sport do you think translates best to basketball?

I played 2 sports up until 8th grade where I focused on basketball. I thought that would make me better. As I’ve been going through school, there’s so much evidence on why playing multiple sports is key for athletic development. To me, there’s not a “specific” sport that relates to basketball besides basketball, so just find another sport you love.
