In this episode of the 3on3 Hoops Pod, we sit down with Coach Marcus Ludwig, head assistant coach for the boys varsity program at Baldwinsville High School in Syracuse, NY, for an honest, coach-to-coach conversation about growth, perspective, and player development.

This episode is for middle school, JV, and varsity coaches — especially those early in their coaching journey who are still figuring things out.

We talk about:

- What young coaches often misunderstand early on
- Why coaching is more than wins, losses, and the scoreboard
- The difference between being a head coach and an assistant coach
- How pressure, ego, and expectations change over time
- When to coach, when to stay quiet, and how players actually learn
- How small-sided play and 3on3 basketball can support long-term development

This isn’t about systems or schemes.
It’s about experience, growth, and learning how to coach the right way.
