Coach Bill takes over the questions and Steve sits in the guest chair for the first time, fresh off a state finals run and the first fall in nearly four decades with no season to plan. They talk about what it felt like the moment it ended, the bus ride from La Crosse that turned a losing program around, and the price his family paid along the way. Stay to the end for a 2000th episode offer that only lives here in the show notes. IN THIS EPISODE 01:17 A milestone inside a milestone. First fall in 37 years with no season and no lesson plans. 02:13 How Coach Unplugged started. A YouTube idea with a friend, back when podcasting was actually hard. 04:33 "I felt full."

Sending his mom to a game with a camera, VCRs in the basement until 2 a.m., and why that edge is gone now. 19:43 What does coaching owe the kids who never play in college? Roles, camaraderie, failing together, and the life lessons kids remember long after the Pythagorean theorem. 22:23 The two kinds of coaches who ask for help.

Coach Bill sits down with Fred Wilson, a Bay Area youth soccer legend who started as a volunteer rec coach at Mustang Soccer in 1989 and now oversees one of the largest and most respected clubs in the country. Along the way he helped launch the San Jose Earthquakes Academy and spent eight years there. The conversation opens with the hard question. Mustang measures heart rate, workload, game analytics, and eventually psychological profiles. So at what point does helping a kid improve turn into watching a kid too closely? Fred's answer is the thread that runs through the whole hour: the data is only ever a starting point, because you cannot measure head and heart, and none of it works without the relationship. From there it goes into the tech stack, the culture work Mustang did with Winning Leader, how a volunteer board evolved into a collaborative governance structure, why kids should play multiple sports, and a rapid fire round that every club director should sit with. Fred's central caution about the data era. All the biodata, game analytics, and psychological profiling in the world still leave out the intangibles a kid brings to the field. The measurement only earns trust when there is a real relationship behind it with the player and with the family, and when everyone understands the purpose clearly. The purpose is an objective basis from which a player can improve. Nothing more, nothing less. When Fred started down this road, a friend told him he did not want to, because he would drown in data and need a data scientist to explain it. That turned out to be exactly true. Mustang had spreadsheets full of statistics and players looking at them asking what any of it meant, with no comparative and no predictive value at the youth level. Two people fixed it. Dana Taylor, a former Quakes colleague, came in as the data scientist who made it usable for coaches. And a parent in the club who does analytics across industries looked at roughly 800 to 900 games of data and found patterns. That analysis surfaced 19 algorithms hiding in the data that identified KPIs tied to winning. The one Fred quotes: when Mustang broke the defensive third of the opponent more often than the opponent broke theirs, they won 94 percent of the time. Those were being pulled manually at first. Mustang went back to Bepro and asked them to generate it inside the system. Now a coach opens it and sees Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Coaching Youth Hoops on Facebook: Search Groups for Coaching Youth Hoops. This week's topic came straight out of the group. Ask your question and if we see it come up more than once, we build a resource for it. Another question pulled from the Coaching Youth Hoops Facebook group: what is the biggest character lesson you are trying to teach your players this season? Coach Collins and Coach Bill make the case that the life lessons taught through sports matter more than the sport itself, and that the whole thing falls apart if you don't connect the dots for the kids. They cover failure as a teacher, being on time as a stand in for responsibility, leaving the gym better than you found it, getting along with teammates you would never choose as friends, and why a difficult coach can be one of the more useful things that happens to a young athlete. They also give coaches a practical season planning move: pick the three or four character lessons you intend to teach, then leave room for the ones the season hands you. Coach Collins is direct about it: one of the reasons he coached as long as he did is that the life lessons taught through sports are more important than the sport. That belief has to come first, because everything else in this episode follows from it. This is the phrase both coaches keep returning to. Kids do not automatically translate a tough practice, a benching, or a bad loss into a lesson about life. Somebody has to say it out loud and draw the line for them. Sports were built for character development, but the development only happens if the connection gets made. Coach Collins uses his own son. He wanted to play college basketball, tried out more than once, came close, and did not make it. He almost certainly learned more from not making the team than he would have riding the bench on it. He went on to start a couple of businesses and travel abroad instead. Coach Collins adds his own first business failed badly and taught him plenty. Athletes rarely see this while it is happening. That is exactly why a coach or parent has to name it. If you are a parent listening and your kid has a coach who is hard to deal with, that is a life lesson sitting right in front of you. Your child will have teachers, bosses, and coworkers like that. The move is to walk them through how to handle it, not to pull them off the team and blame the coach. Abuse is a different conversation entirely, and that line does not move. Kids who miss the game winning shot carry the whole loss home with them. Point out the ten missed layups earlier in the game that would have put the team out of reach. Nobody loses a game by themselves and nobody wins one by themselves. It was Coach Collins's pet peeve, but the actual lesson was responsibility. Waking yourself up. Managing your own schedule. Being someone the group can count on. Older athletes can carry the full weight of that one. Younger kids get a scaled down version. Coach Collins points to the World Cup and the Japanese teams cleaning their locker rooms after matches. That lesson works at any age and any level. Pick up the Gatorade bottles. Pick up the towels. Coach Bill does it with grade school kids and cleans the bench even when the trash was there before they arrived. When a player says "it's not mine," the answer is that it does not matter. Coach Collins walks his dogs through the park, sees a piece of trash, picks it up, and finds a can. Same principle, no scoreboard attached. Coach Collins tells his players straight: you are going to work with people you do not like, that is the world. Not everyone he worked with was a friend and some he did not care for much at all, but he still had to be part of a team. And there are surely people who feel the same way about him. That is fine. You still have to get along on the court, because you are going to have to get along in life. Coach Bill's season planning approach has two halves. First, decide what is in the box before the season starts. How to win. How to lose. How to work with others. How to talk to an adult. Ignoring the refs. Pick three or four and commit to them. Second, be ready for the ones you did not plan. Something will happen on the team that hands you a character lesson you never scheduled. Anticipate that it is coming so you are prepared to use it instead of letting it pass. Coach Bill lays out for parents up front what he is going to teach and what he believes in. Knock on wood, nobody has ever come back with "we don't believe in being nice to people." Saying it out loud costs you nothing and buys you support all season. And on the objection that character is not a coach's place: yes it is. It takes a village, and you are in the village. Write down the three or four character lessons you want your team to leave with this season. Put them somewhere you will see them weekly. Add one line to your practice plan template for the life lesson attached to that practice. Send parents a short note before the season describing what you plan to teach beyond basketball. Build the cleanup habit in from day one. Bench, floor, bottles, towels, every practice and every game. The next time something hard happens on your team, a loss, a conflict, a benching, stop and connect the dot out loud instead of letting the moment pass. Talk to your players about failure before they fail, so they have a frame ready when it happens. "The life lessons that can be taught through sports are more important than the sports."

Come join the conversation. Coach Bill and Coach Collins tackle a question straight from the Coaching Youth Hoops Facebook group: how do you teach shot selection to young players when every kid wants to jack up threes and every parent in the stands is yelling "shoot it"? The answer is a three word vocabulary any third grader can learn: great shot, good shot, no shot. Coach Bill breaks down how he uses it live in scrimmages, why the follow up question matters more than the label itself, and how the same shot can be a great shot for one player and a no shot for another. The first question almost every kid gets after a game is "how many points did you score?" Nobody asks how many stops they made or how good their defense was. That single question shapes how young players behave with the ball. Basketball is a team sport, and shot selection is where team play either shows up or disappears. Coach Bill's youth level definition of a great shot has three parts a player can self assess in a fraction of a second: You are on balance There is no hand in your face The shot is inside your range, meaning a distance where you make a decent percentage A wide open layup is the purest great shot at the third, fourth, and fifth grade level. Get those layups in. A good shot might be a mid range look with no hand in your face. A no shot is the one where you cannot even hit the rim from that spot, most often a three point heave. At the high school level Coach Collins does much of this teaching in film sessions. Coach Bill does the same work in real time during scrimmages, and the immediacy is the whole point. The feedback lands while the shot is still fresh. The sequence is simple: A questionable shot goes up Blow the whistle and pause the action Ask: "Great shot, good shot, or no shot?" Let the player answer Whatever they say, do not label it right or wrong. Just ask "Why?" Players will usually tell on themselves. "I had a hand in my face and I was off balance." Now they own the definition instead of just hearing it from a coach. The temptation is to declare the verdict. Resist it. The follow up "why" is where the learning lives, because it forces the player to run the checklist out loud. Over the course of a season, Coach Bill saw the payoff: players started passing up their own decent look to feed a teammate who had a great one. Ask them and they will tell you honestly what they can and cannot make. Following through on that knowledge in a live game is the hard part, especially with a parent in the bleachers yelling "shoot the ball" thirty seconds after the coach said not to. This is where coaches have to be careful, and it takes time to learn each player. Two examples from the episode: One kid can hit the rim on a three about a third of the time. Another cannot reach the rim at all. Same shot, different verdict. One girl can slice between two defenders and finish. For her that is a good shot. Another player cannot dribble through two defenders yet, so for her it is not. Coach Collins compares it to a player who can dunk versus one who has to finish with a layup. Different skill levels, different green lights. When a player says "but Steve just shot a three and you told me not to," the answer is not "Steve is better than you." It is: Steve can make that shot right now, and you can do things Steve cannot do. The key word is yet. This is where you are today, and that is okay. Pick your three definitions and say them out loud to your team this week. Keep them short enough that a nine year old can repeat them. Build the whistle and ask routine into every scrimmage. Two or three stoppages is plenty. Ask "why," then stay quiet. Let the player make the case. Spend the first few weeks learning each player's real range so your verdicts are individualized and fair. Talk to your parents early about what a good shot means on your team, so the message from the stands matches the message from the bench. "I don't say that's right or wrong. I just say, okay, why? Why is it a no shot?" — Coach Bill Episode SummaryTimestampsTimeTopic00:00Welcome back, and Coach Collins on retirement, no more grading tests00:33Why a retiring coach should give the new coach space01:37Will he still show up to the games?02:15Sponsors: CoachingYouthHoops.com and HeySai.com03:56Today's topic: good shot, great shot, no shot04:02Why kids default to selfish shots, and the "how many points did you score" problem04:50Coach Bill defines a great shot at the youth level05:31How do players learn their own range?06:00The live scrimmage drill: whistle, ask, let them answer06:42What each category looks like in a youth game07:13Coach Collins on doing the same work through film at the high school level08:16What happens when a player disagrees or points to a teammate09:11Differentiating standards by player without calling anyone out10:15Final thoughts and where to find moreKey Takeaways1.

Send us a textGriffin Brand and Dan Casey, co-authors of Bring Your Own Pencil: Bill Walsh's Playbook for Winning at Anything, join Joe to explore preparation, leadership, and what separates sustained excellence from short-term success.It's Super Bowl weekend, so football is part of the lens—but it doesn't stay there. The discussion moves from Bill Walsh and the San Francisco 49ers to Dyson vacuums, Raising Cane's chicken fingers, JSOC, and even 50 Cent. Different worlds, same underlying question: why do some people and organizations endure while others flame out?At the center is a simple idea: success is a lagging indicator. Drawing on Walsh's leadership philosophy, Griffin and Dan explain why outcomes take care of themselves when leaders focus on standards, habits, and ownership of preparation—long before performance is visible.From there, the episode broadens into leadership more generally: perseverance, the myth of overnight success, and how constraints can sharpen thinking instead of limiting it. A key theme is the idea of a permanent base camp—maintaining standards that keep teams within striking distance of excellence without burning them out.They also spend time on legacy. Not wins or titles, but people. The episode reinforces a simple measure of leadership: how many people succeed because you took the time to invest in them.Watch the full interview on YouTube!Joe, Griffin, and Dan also discuss: What “bring your own pencil” really means for leaders Alive time vs. dead time  How the path to the top is rarely a straight line How to sustain excellence without burning people or culture Why inputs matter more than outcomes How culture becomes real when it carries itself forward What legacy looks like when leaders step back Why the best leaders make their ceiling someone else's floorWhether you're watching the Super Bowl or leading a team far from the spotlight, this episode is a reminder that the work that matters most usually happens long before anyone is watching.A Special Thanks to Our Sponsors!Veteran-founded Adyton.
