  • LOVE THE GTG

    I’ve been really enjoying the Game Time Guru Podcast hosted by Shane Larson. It’s not just sports talk — Shane and his guests give real-life perspective on mindset, discipline, and what it actually takes to be good at what you do.

High School Basketball Coaching, Culture & Leadership with Keegan Keller
Q: What are the biggest challenges you face transitioning from assistant to head coach?
The move adds management duties—parents, the school board, budgeting—beyond coaching; it requires careful delegation, setting standards, and learning from a strong predecessor.
Paul Diasparra of Crown Refs: The Truth About Basketball Referees
Q: What is the toughest part of officiating?
Coaching and fan abuse, compounded by internal politics and the 'good old boy' networks that can make advancement challenging.
Paul Diasparra of Crown Refs: The Truth About Basketball Referees
Q: How should referees handle explanations to coaches during games?
Explain calls when asked in a respectful manner, engage in constructive dialogue, and maintain calm, professional signaling; if responses are not respectful, the interaction changes.
Paul Diasparra of Crown Refs: The Truth About Basketball Referees
Q: What is one of the biggest things you think causes frustrations between fans, coaches, players, and referees?
A combination of factors, but a core issue is miscommunication and the lack of consistent, clear explanations of calls, compounded by a broader need for better training and accountability among officials. Respect and sportsmanship are essential to reduce friction.
