On shooting..

Awesome.

Not to change the subject, but had a 3:00 AM wake up call last week in my hotel so while I was getting ready I turned on FS1 and watched a replay of some of the MU v. Providence women's game at the AL. Wasn't able to watch the whole game, but what I watched was very entertaining - with a team loaded with underclassmen or rather underclasswomen they have a nice future. Forget which player but she had a couple of those slither Haanif moves to the basket and closed the deal.

With the mass exodus of the team after last season, I was kind of worried, but things look OK, at least from the small sample size I saw.

She's a pretty terrible coach. Anybody who goes on that kind of a rant probably has trouble connecting with their players.

Never mind....

I don't care if she can coach or not, she's basically saying what is true of the majority of the entitled generation.

Wow. An older guy calling the next generation "entitled." Just like the previous generation, and the one before that, and the one before that... I've been working with college age kids for 25 years. Is this generation different? Yep. In both good and bad ways. But they are fundamentally no more entitled than you or I were at that age.

But if you are a college basketball coach, and you can't get through to your players, that's on you. There are MANY examples of coaches that seem to have figured it out.

Well there is something to it or there wouldn't be younger people making bank working with professionals, executives, and companies on how to deal with this new generation of workers.
SNL has had some funny skits on it as well.

When it comes to athletics, it not just kids that feel they are entitled, it is often the parents because they are now paying big money for 'select' teams.

[IWB]

Yes, I am an older guy calling the next generation entitled.

While you may be working with college students, I am working with grade school athletes and their parents. The crap you see these days especially with club sports/select teams is absolutely crazy, and definitely building an entitled generation.

Exactly Jim. I coach multiple teams in youth sports and Kelsey's rant was spot on, despite if she is not a successful coach. Sultan-talk to other coaches and you will hear the same thing. These kids are so distracted now that they are spending less and less time on the fundamentals, which is what you are seeing a lack of more and more. We are still seeing athleticism, size and strength of course.

Agreed. And I am saying this as a director of an AAU program.
