Boals spent seven years as an assistant coach for the Ohio State Buckeyes men's basketball team under the tutelage of Thad Matta before replacing Steve Pikiell as the head coach for the Stony Brook Seawolves for three years.\n\n\u00a0\n\nIn the 2020-2021 season Boals and the Bobcats won the Mid-American Conference Championship to qualify for the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2012. In the first round they beat Virginia, before losing in the round of 32 to Creighton.\n\n\u00a0\n\nBoals landed his first coaching job as an assistant coach at his alma mater Ohio University after graduating. He then took an assistant coaching job at the University of Charleston in West Virginia, where he stayed for three seasons before joining Marshall as an assistant coach from 1999 to 2003. Boals returned to Charleston as the associate head coach, for one season before jumping back to the Division I ranks with Robert Morris, then to Akron. He joined the coaching staff of Ohio State in 2009, led by Thad Matta, where he has been a part of three Big Ten Conference regular-season titles, four NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 appearances, an Elite Eight, and a Final Four appearance in 2012. The Buckeyes' record was 193\u201362 with Boals as assistant coach. Boals recruited players such as D'Angelo Russell and Jared Sullinger to play for Ohio State.\n\n\u00a0\n\nOn April 8, 2016, Boals was named the 11th head coach in Stony Brook men's basketball history, and its third since moving to Division I. In Boals' first season as head coach, the Seawolves finished 18\u201314 (12\u20134), second in the America East Conference. Boals led the Seawolves to the first 20-win season under his tenure in 2018\u201319. On March 17, 2019, Boals resigned from Stony Brook to accept a head coaching position at his alma mater, Ohio University.\n\n\u00a0\n\nBreakdown\n\n1:00 - Counters to the Counters\n\n3:00 - 1993-'94 Team Group Chat\n\n6:00 - Excellent Passing Team\n\n7:00 - Importance of Analytics\n\n12:00 - Coping Strategies on Mistakes\n\n14:00 - Learning Language\n\n17:00 - Conceptual Type Offense\n\n20:00 - Growth Mindset\n\n22:00 - Cleveland State Game\n\n24:00 - Cory Close\n\n27:00 - Next Play Mentality\n\n30:00 - Fact Positivity\n\n34:00 - Processes to Challenge Players\n\n36:00 - Reflection and Sharing\n\n38:00 - Decision Making Fatigue\n\n40:00 - Timing Plays and Time Outs\n\n42:00 - Independent of the Outcome\n\n46:00 - Charting\n\n50:00 - Non-negotiables\n\n53:00 - Better Coach\n\n55:00 - Recruiting Players\n\n58:00 - Not Going to the Pro\n\n1:03:00 - Conclusion\n\n\n\n\nJeff Boal\u2019s Bio:\n\nBio: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff_Boals\n\nTwitter: https://twitter.com/JeffBoals\n\n\n\n\nBasketball Immersion\n\nWebsite: http://basketballimmersion.com/\n\nTwitter: https://twitter.com/bballimmersion?lang=en\n\nYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/basketballimmersion\n\nFacebook: https://facebook.com/basketballimmersion\n\n\n\n\nBetOnline Website:\n\nWebsite: www.betonline.ag\n\n\n\n\nBest in the West Video Series\n\nBest in the West Website: http://bestinthewestclinic.com/\n\nSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/6d282819-af16-422b-95ec-be72d6bb2c65/135e2835370674a32c6c6235a6a3e54f4f6110ae3868283f018ade21bc307ab.jpeg"}
