If you are getting into coaching right out of college, you're not one of the coaches because you're not really, like, a coach yet. You're someone who's in limbo all the time. Navigating that is not easy. If you try to be too much like a player, then the coaches are like, You're not too serious about coaching. If you're going to be too much like a coach, the players are not going to confide in anything.

Everything goes in cycles. There isn't anything that lasts indefinitely.

I don't hire good coaches, I hire good people. If they turn out to be good coaches, too, that's a plus.
