I’D LIKE TO THANK THOMAS SHIRLEY WHO IS THE HEAD COACH FOR THOMAS JEFFERSON UNIVERSITY RAMS WOMEN’S BASKETBALL TEAM IN PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA IN THE CACC IN NCAA DII FOR SHARING ADVICE FOR FUTURE COACHES WITH THE CANNON NETWORK. HE SHARED:
- DO NOT COME IN WITH EXPECTATIONS THAT YOU KNOW EVERYTHING. COME TO LEARN.
- DO WHAT YOU ARE ASKED TO DO , PLUS MORE. YOU GET ONE SHOT AT A FIRST IMPRESSION.
- DO NOT COACH A PLAYER UNTIL YOU KNOW A PLAYER. EACH PLAYER HAS A DIFFERENT MODE OF OPERATION. LEARN IT.
- BE TECHNOLOGY ORIENTED. KNOW THE “LATEST THINGS” AND EDUCATE , PARTICULARLY THE OLDER COACHES AS TO HOW IT CAN HELP THE PROGRAM.
- YOU ARE NOT READY TO BE BATMAN, BUT BE THE BEST ROBIN YOU CAN BE.
