The Mount played a pretty remarkable game last night against Georgetown. And, for the first 3/4 of the game, they had it under control and then the gas just left the tank. Free throws were not made, tightness set in and shots made earlier did not fall and Georgetown buckled down and hit their shots. Here's what this shows me: The Mount has a stunningly good coach; their Mount players will be doing 100's of free throw drills today; the Mount players will augment training for endurance play; and they will practice 1 minute drills again and again. As to GT, they can come back like this on a team that is unranked. But it is not an ideal strategy for sure for the long season ahead. And seeing Patrick Ewing coach: amazing actually: he was always calm on the court (my favorite Knick) and as I recall he couldn't make free throws too well. I liked his style of coaching. He was more animated than I ever saw as a player. He needs some new and better players. I'll bet he'll be able to recruit. All in all, good lessons here: the little guys are not so little; the big guys can't wait for the spigot to just turn on. College basketball is all about improvement. What a night. …see more

Today, there is a powerful and disturbing story in NYTimes about UNC’s pediatric cardiac surgery unit. It had a much higher death rate than other similar programs. There was many lessons here in terms of why failure persisted and flaws were so slow to remediate. I want to focus on just 1 now. But there is much to be garnered from this investigative piece about other failures, including in education, airplane manufacturing and pharmacology. The doctors at UNC at several points considered sending patients elsewhere and one physician is quoted as asking: Would you send your own child here? Once the answer had been yes and then it turned to no. Lesson: if you wouldn’t send your own child here, don’t send anyone else’s. The litmus year of quality is whether you or your family would use the services or product. Consider that question at Boeing with its Max plane. Consider that question at some schools and colleges. The question begs institutions to turn into somewhere or something they’d encourage their family to use (assuming appropriateness as surely you’d only use a pediatric cardiac team if your child needed that). Quality can be measured, then, by whether one would recommend the service/product for one’s own. So Boeing, did you or your families fly on the Max? …see more

The news is filled w/ people acting badly, and at least for me, in some unexpected tangled ways. David Boren at Oklahoma is an example: accusations of sexual harassment and then his seemingly sudden resignation. Steve Kerr of Warrior fame saying what he said post game: suggesting that the achilles injury was not even mentioned as a possibility for KD. Seriously? How's that possible? We have David Ortiz being shot at point blank range in an apparent hit for hire. We have children being shot and killed by parents in custody battles. We have wives disappearing. We have airplanes that are downright dangerous and now still grounded. And then I have experienced several more personal incidents: a cardiologist who considers himself the equivalent of G-d; an airplane landing that was unnecessarily rough w/ no heartfelt apology at time or after (American Airlines);an individual questioning a transaction while missing key details like the donor flying up on a personal jet to work with senior team; a former institutional leader making libelous accusations for which he was threatened with a lawsuit if he did not cease and desist. What's wrong w/ people? Where has all the decency gone? What accounts for these behaviors? Anyone care to explain please? Not the world I knew. …see more

fast forward 5 years out. will posting on one’s resume “worked on Facebook blockchain & coin initiative” be a net/net positive for anyone?

I used to be a Steve Kerr fan. No longer. Read this piece on Nowitski decision, and Nelson (coach) owned that decision not to play him. Kerr not only deferred all decisions to GM but did not make the hard choice: prohibiting KD from playing. True leaders own their choices good or bad. That’s not easy. If you are a leader and your institution fails and falls into sewer and you have been leader for more than a couple years, you own it ... denial is both unleader-like and disingenuous. Kerr fell in my book; courage and making hard decisions are the hallmarks of real leaders. Sadly, we are seeing too many examples of leadership failure. Bad role models too — in athletics and education. What happened to following the adage that leaders take the blame? Maybe these leaders are working so hard to keep their jobs that they don’t do their jobs. Bad news on all fronts. Wear a sign as a coach or college president or any other leader: the buck stops with me. That’s in case one forgets!!! …see more
