Guides and templates

The MM3 toolkit for the business of basketball

The library explains the rules. These guides, checklists and spreadsheets turn the rules into something you fill in: the questions to ask a coach, the terms to check in a contract, the dates to track and the numbers to run. Each one is written by McKinley Malbrough III, J.D., MS-HRM, a certified WNBA player agent and former certified NBA agent.

Where to start

A player or parent in the recruiting process: start with the College Basketball Pathway Planner, then add the Recruiting Calendar and Contact Tracker to keep dates and contacts straight.
A family holding an offer or a NIL contract: the NIL and Revenue-Share Contract Review Checklist and the College Offer Comparison and Negotiation Toolkit are built for that moment.
A player weighing a club overseas: read Overseas Contract Questions Checklist before the call, and run the numbers with the Overseas Season Budget and Take-Home Planner.
Someone who wants to become an agent: the Aspiring Agent Launch Kit covers the certification path and the first 90 days.
