    Playing Time & Parent Communication | Robert Lucero

    What does it take to build a winning program — and sustain it year after year? In Episode 320 of the JAMODI Podcast, Matt Sayman sits down with Westlake High School head boys basketball coach Robert Lucero for an in-depth conversation about culture, leadership, communication, staff development, and the realities of being a high school coach. Coach Lucero shares lessons from more than two decades in coaching and his highly successful run at Westlake. But this conversation goes far beyond wins and losses. They discuss why Westlake keeps large rosters and creates a place for players who may not see significant game minutes, how honest communication can strengthen relationships, why conflict isn't always a bad thing, and how coaches can create environments where players feel like they belong. Lucero also explains why delegating responsibilities to assistant coaches made him a better head coach, the importance of developing young coaches, and why great coaches need confidence, consistency, and the ability to handle conflict. The conversation also dives into culture classes, allowing players to help define a program's core values, staying composed during games, learning from painful losses, and what a truly successful season looks like. For Lucero, success ultimately comes back to one question: Can you have peace knowing you gave your players your best? Topics include: • Building and sustaining a championship culture• Creating belonging for every player• Managing large high school basketball rosters• Playing time and parent communication• Developing assistant coaches• Delegating as a head coach• Culture classes and character development• Honest communication and healthy conflict• Creating player ownership• Coaching with confidence and consistency• Staying composed during games• Learning from devastating losses• Defining success beyond wins and losses• Coaching authentically• Enjoying the journey JAMODI stands for Just A Matter Of Doing It.

    The Importance Of TABC | Kelly Savoy

    Episode 318 of the JAMODI Podcast features Kelly Savoy, head girls basketball coach at Montgomery High School and Vice President of the Texas Association of Basketball Coaches (TABC). With more than 30 years in coaching and nearly 400 career wins, Coach Savoy has built his career around relationships, character, consistency, and developing programs that are bigger than basketball. In this episode, Coach Savoy shares why great coaching starts with building relationships—not only with players, but with parents, assistant coaches, junior high coaches, and the entire school community. He discusses why younger coaches must understand that being a great basketball coach also means being a great teacher and teammate within their school. Coach Savoy also breaks down his philosophy on culture and the Montgomery program's motto: “Character Wins Championships.” He explains why every player may have a different role while still having the same value, why he grades the energy of his bench, and how great cultures eventually become player-led. Coach Savoy and Coach Sayman also discuss consistency versus flexibility, supporting multi-sport athletes, adapting your system to your personnel, learning from coaching mistakes, the importance of TABC, and the future of the shot clock in Texas high school basketball. Topics include: • Building relationships with players and parents• Helping young coaches stay in the profession• Why great coaches are great teachers• Consistency vs. flexibility in coaching• Adapting your system to your personnel• Supporting multi-sport athletes• Creating clearly defined player roles• Why every player's value remains the same• Building a championship culture• Holding players accountable to program standards• Developing player-led teams• Character Wins Championships• The importance of TABC• Lifelong learning for coaches• Shot clock in Texas high school basketball• Culture and team building JAMODI stands for “Just A Matter Of Doing It.” The JAMODI Podcast is where coaches talk culture, leadership & growth. 🎙️ Hosted by Matt Sayman
