The way you interact with coaches who are recruiting you or ones you're trying to make a good impression on is something that must be taken very seriously. To start, NEVER say “yo coach,” “hey,” or “what’s good coach” to list a few examples. These are important to avoid simply because they’re not your friend nor is their mission to become “bro’s” with you. Always speak properly because coaches want someone mature who can handle themselves in a respectable manner both on and off the floor. Next, do not over-text or over-analyze their questions. In summary, don’t try too hard to impress because it’s extremely noticeable and seems as if you’re not being genuine in your responses. Always be yourself, check in here and there via text, and make sure you always ask how they’re doing when starting off a conversation. Remember, it’s bigger than basketball. Refrain from speaking about how you had 32 points the other day and nobody on the court was able to guard you because coaches want someone who’s a team first guy, not someone who’s entire focus is their stats - Trust me, if he’s recruiting you, he knows what you’re capable of.
