A good teacher can teach students anything. A great teacher helps students discover it within themselves. I think this philosophy exemplifies the definition of a mentor. Throughout my coaching career of 30+ years, I often reflect and take inventory of the people who have served as mentors to me.  Each poured into me as a person, and as a coach, helping me to grow.  They created a balanced learning environment by allowing me to learn from them, while also respecting my need to grow individually.  Throughout the mentoring, they supported some of my ideas and vehemently disagreed ..read more

Written by Kevin Sutton Assistant Coach at Georgetown University I. Bench procedures: – The bench must be totally engaged into the game (mentally and physically). Lack of engagement is a clear indicator to the coach that the player is more concerned with themselves than the team. Being engaged is sending a message to the coaches and the teammates that the player is ready to play and is invested in the game. – The bench must cheer for their teammates and not sit as a spectator. The cheering must be positive and empowering. It must be the type of cheering that you would want to hear when you are ..read more

Written by Kevin Sutton Assistant Coach Georgetown One of today’s buzz words when trying to build a team/culture is “buy in”.  Every coach is trying to get their players to “buy in”. Early in my coaching career I had the unbelievable opportunity to attend a Temple University practice conducted by Hall of Fame Coach John Chaney.

Coach Chaney said, ” if you trust me, if you believe in me and if you listen to me, then you will buy what I am selling you. If you don’t, then you won’t”.  He finished by saying ..read more

Written by Kevin Sutton Assistant Coach at Georgetown University A bad Director of Basketball Oprations can hurt a program faster and longer than a bad assistant coach can. Former head coach at a High Major basketball program told that statement to me. The more I thought about it the more I began to agree with him. So the statement really got me to thinking, the converse must be also being true. A good Director of Basketball Operations can help a program quicker and longer than a good assistant. In this blog I want to touch on what I feel are the major characteristics that make up a really goo ..read more
