Welcome to, high school hoops. Coach, I'm gonna have a brain fart too. You never know. Always have. Oh, we can always have those. We can do it. Trust me. A number of intros I've had to redo multiple times. But anyway, before we all of you know that we're talking about criticism today, so obviously you saw it in the title before we're doing it. Before we jump and talk about criticism and coaching, and if you're a high school coach and you're listening to this, you're gonna have criticism. But I'd like to give a big shout to our 2 sponsors. First of all, tchips.com for coaches who wanna get better. The one stop shop for basketball coaches. I got to remember what I said. Oh, it is the Wal Mart, the Target and the, Macy's of of basketball coaching. It's a little bit of everything, too much, actually, that I'm kind of trying to decipher. I've got a program. We're coming in and doing a bunch of stuff and we're revamping it. But anyway, prices are going to go up. I do have 2 kids in college. I did say that last week, but I'll say that again. So if you want to help coach Collins out a little bit, come join for a couple of months and then also go over and check out Doctor. Dish, the number one shoe machine in the market. It's easy to set up. It's easy to use. I'm to the point now where I don't even have to set it up anymore. Told the boys can do it by themselves and they know how to do it. They know how to get to the workouts. You want to get strong, you lift weights, you want to become a shooter. You shoot Doctor. Dish can help you do that. Tell him I sent you a high school hoops. Coach Collins sent you. They will take really good care of you. Great Minnesota company. Big good Midwest company. Alright. So today, we're gonna talk about criticism, coach. So what's your thought on criticism? Yeah. So so how to handle criticism as as a coach, you're definitely gonna have people that that don't like, you know, what you do all the time, shockingly. Right now, I'm I'm actually in our, our golf season, and I had a parent kinda come and criticize me about the the makeup of the schedule, how things were maybe not super clear for where the JV should be, where the should be, and just a little background on on where we're at for our golf season. Our varsity will typically go out, and we'll play meets, and then our we will be allowed based on the amount of spaces at the course, how many JV players can come. So it it's it's It's a core. Yeah. It's crazy. It's It's a very fluid situation most of the time. So Oh, yeah. And they and then you're it's all about those golf courses. You wanna be open and ready to go for the people that are paying and blow the big bucks. Yeah. Yeah. It's weird. That golf thing is weird. You'll play it 7 AM kind of thing. Yep. Anyway Yep. Yeah. So so, yeah, I just we we were getting some criticism on you know, parents were getting frustrated with you know, we don't know where our players are supposed to be, when they're supposed to be. And, you know, we were doing the best we could trying to get all the information out in a timely manner based on what we had.
