THERE IS NO TOMORROW
by Bo Ryan
University of Wisconsin
 
One bad stretch and your season is over. Over the course of a long season you are going to have bad possessions, bad stretches and bad games. It's never a welcome sight for a coach, but it's a reality of the game. In March there is only today, tomorrow doesn't exist.

THE IMPORTANCE OF ASSISTANT COACHES
by John Giannini, La Salle


La Salle head coach John Giannini writes about the great importance of having a good coaching staff.In corporate America the CEO gets all the credit for a company's success. He or she is made out to be the one person responsible for everything good that has come to the company. But there are always people who put in just as much time and effort, without the glory of getting mentioned on CNN. In college basketball we call these people assistant coaches. With any job, you are only as good as the people that surround you and assistants are as much a part of a team's success...

Bank of America Higher Standards.During this entire season his team received exactly one vote in the Mid-Major Top 25. That vote came in the most recent poll, but at least somebody noticed that the job Tom Schuberth has done. He was an assistant for a quarter-century before being named the thirteenth head coach in University of Texas-Pan American history (April 2006). Last season he won 14 games, more then doubling the previous year’s total (6). This season he finished 18-13. It’s only the program’s second winning season at the DI level. Life at the mid-major level is often spent on the road, but the Broncs made a season of it playing just ten home games. A season with 21 road games and no conference affiliation usually ends with a job search. It never ends with 18 wins. It could have been more. Prior to the start of the season Adinson Mosquera (6-9, Colombia) was declared ineligible by the school. There was some controversy surrounding that decision. His presence would have been good for at least a few more wwins. Schuberth is a national coach of the year candidate. - Matt Drake, CollegInsider.com

 
 
 

 
IT'S ABOUT BALANCE
by Steve Hawkins, Western Michigan


Western Michigan head coach Steve Hawkins writes about the importance of balance and what he learned from Coach John Wooden.Balance. We hear that word used quite often in sport. Having a good balance is crucial to the success of a team, but it’s not what most would think. It’s less about a balanced attack and more about the balance of the individual, right down to the basic positioning. While I am a disciple of Coach Wooden I haven’t implemented the UCLA style of play as much as I have implemented coach Wooden’s attention to detail and focus on the fundamentals. And all that begins with balance.
