Basketball coaches take their careers too seriously. I'm not saying that they shouldn't care, because we see that too much already.

If you hoop long enough, you will eventually be in a situation where you feel like you aren't getting enough burn and it will be frustrating. Even on the 2004 USA Olympic Team, LeBron rode the bench. Most Coaches don't want to bench players that can help them win. They just don't trust every player the same way. To get on the court more, you have to have a coach that trusts you to make...

No matter what the profession is, following "the guy" is tough. Jon Scheyer is a 2010 graduate from Duke and has been given the nearly impossible task of living up to Coach K's legacy.

Lavar Ball and his 3 sons (Lonzo, LiAngelo & LaMelo) have been the most polarizing sports family in the past 10 years.

Clearly, all of this was a part of his plan to get his sons to the NBA. This is how he did it. HOW...
