Myles Brand: A legacy of leadership
NCAA President Myles Brand, the first university president to serve as the Association’s chief executive and a champion of academic reform, fiscal responsibility and student-athlete well-being, died Wednesday from pancreatic cancer. Dr. Brand was a tremendous leader who always had the best interest of student-athletes in his mind and one who did a valuable job of steering the entire body in a very positive way. My family and I extend our deepest condolences to Myles Brand’s family – our thoughts are with them during this difficult time.
It would benefit you a great deal to read the legacy of Dr. Brand from the NCAA website.

Bob Starkey of LSU Lady Tigers recently shared a great entry from Eric Musselman’s site on Bill Bellichek’s coaching philosophy by KC Joyner. I think we can all learn and apply useful strategies or philosophies no matter the sport. Coach Musselman’s BLOG is an excellent source of information for coaches, fans, players/student-athletes or parents.

One of my goals this year is to travel to as many different successful schools, professional teams, businesses and organizations to observe and learn from the wide variety of successful philosophies out there. Successful people are successful people no matter the profession. Success is bread with a variety of traits and to be able to have the time to invest in discovering these systems, philosophies and traits is a tremendous gift. We can all learn every day. Those lessons can be applied to coaching, anything. My time away from the court is going to make me a better person, father, husband and basketball coach.
Below you will find Coach Musselman’s thoughts and the original article by KC Joyner.

You meet a lot of people in coaching. One I have met is Bob Starkey of the LSU Lady Tigers basketball program. Coach Starkey is a tremendous basketball coach, but an even better person. Coach Starkey has always come across as a teacher.
I stumbled across his Hoop Thoughts…
LSU Tigers Associate Head Coach Bob Starkey
He was sharing with us some thoughts on Teaching Leadership. Powerful. Excellent. Here with a very good leader Temeka Johnson, I am certain she learned many of those skills through his teaching.
From Mark Shead at Leadership 501:
Teamwork is not something that is easy to teach. While you may know certain teamwork principles, it is something that needs to be developed in each team on its own. If you take 5 people from separate organizations and try to put them together into one team, there will be a certain amount of learning that takes place, regardless of how skilled each individual is at teamwork.
