This implies Knicks fans want him there. We don’t. We’re all having a collective panic attack that he’s gonna kill the vibes. He’s the death of fun.

How do you defend a 7’4 center who can touch the rim without jumping and also make this shot?

Been following you since your time in Tampa, and have always greatly admired your work. Congrats, and can’t wait to keep reading.

Today’s @mattbrown.bsky.social newsletter might be the clearest, most useful demonstration of the power dynamics in college basketball (and college sports in general) that I’ve ever seen. Schools in power conferences exclude everybody else, and then blame them for their own exclusion

Here is a list of everybody Miami (OH) TRIED to schedule in men's basketball this season

Don't blame the Redhawks for not having enough big names on their schedule. They tried to add plenty of them...and I've got the proof.

Alright so here’s my deal. I was a D1 basketball coach until covid crashed my nervous system. I couldn’t get the proper healthcare or medication I needed to begin my recovery (I’m still currently disabled) because of the current limitations of the private healthcare system.

I didn’t say there were. But THIS specific billionaire happened to get and my community me access to medicine in a way that disrupted the insurance space and drastically improved my quality of life. And I don’t think i owe you an apology for that.

Hope it does in my life-time. In the meantime, thank you for CostPlus. You’ve kept me and many others in the longcovid community afloat while facing all sort of insurance denials and prior auths.

I’m legit using John Oliver’s piece about this from like 10 years ago in a sports and society course I’m teaching in the spring. Totally insane that this behavior isn’t illegal.

Fall AAU tryouts are here; and if you’re choosing a team based on name recognition, you’re already asking the wrong question. 🧵

My concern with your use of the word “control” is that it implies doctors in the US get to treat patients how they want, which is not the case with the current private insurance model.

Charlie Kirk called me a ‘lunatic’ and a ‘prostitute’ and demanded I be deported. Nothing, *nothing*, justifies killing him, or robbing his kids of their dad. We don’t know the identity or motive of the shooter but murder can *never* be the response to political disagreements.

It’s hard for me to pick the worst thing you can do as a recruit. But a recruit never exploring outside of their bubble is definitely up there. Do not make assumptions about what’s available. The country, and therefore the college basketball landscape is much more vast than you think it is.

Your best game on paper isn’t always your best film. Now that AAU season is winding down, a lot of players are getting ready to send game film to college coaches. Before you send anything, know this:

Every coach wants their team to play their best basketball in late February and March. Last season, St. Francis actually did it. SFU won 5 of 7 to enter postseason play, then won 3 straight—each by just 3 points—to punch their first NCAA Tournament ticket in 34 years. 1/5

They named a brewery after you as a consolation prize though. How many athletes can say that?

“Recruitment isn’t made, it’s stolen.” There’s only one way under-the-radar recruits get noticed, they steal attention. The secret, according to men’s basketball scout Jon Soch, is that there is no secret: deliver against the best competition and the best coaches will notice. 1/2

Even with all the key makes, Jalen Brunson has two critical ASSISTS for made 3s that give the Knicks the lead late. His most significant growth is that he remains a point guard in clutch moments.

Mistakes are going to happen every game. The question is: How are you going you respond? Coach Kristen Tullo shares believes the best athletes aren’t always the most skilled. They’re the most resilient; and it’s why they bounce back from mistakes rather than spiral downward.

If you’re a forward who is bored by fundamentals, college ball is going to be a struggle for you. The best forwards master the basics before anything else. College coaches are evaluating your ability to: 💪 Sprint the floor, seal hard, and create easy buckets in transition. 1/3

Even the great slashers aren’t elite at everything—but they can CONSISTENTLY threaten defenses at every level. Your job is to make every defensive decision the wrong decision. 🔥They sag off you to play the drive, you shoot over them. 1/4

“Shooters shoot” right? It’s a cliché because it’s true. But college coaches aren’t just looking for someone who wants to shoot the ball. They’re evaluating how you work for it. 🏀 You can’t hesitate, especially if you’re open. Confidence is non-negotiable. 1/3

Myth: College coaches just stumble onto recruits at AAU events. Reality: They follow strict recruiting itineraries — and if you’re not on their list, they probably won’t see you play. 1/2

One of the most common questions I’m asked by parents is how I will leverage my network to help their kid get recruited. My answer tends to surprise them. I won’t. And unless it’s an exceptional situation, it would actually hurt your kid’s chances if I did reach out on their behalf. 1/3

Lazy recruits get recruited by lazy coaches. ✅ If you don’t put in effort, neither will the coaches recruiting you. ✅ The best programs want players who care about their future. ✅ Effort attracts effort—treat this process as a priority. Put in the work, and the right opportunities will come. 🏀

Campus fit and team fit both matter. ✅ Love the basketball situation but hate the school? You’ll become unhappy. ✅ Love the school but don’t fit the team? You’ll become unhappy. Find a place where you can thrive in every area. #RecruitingTips #BasketballJourney

The “follow the best offer” mindset costs real hoopers real opportunities to make an impact. ✅ Top D2s have better resources and facilities than lower D1s. ✅ Top D3s have better facilities and coaching than lower D2s. ✅ You’ll be happiest where you’re making an impact. 1/2
