    "Do parents not understand what a turnoff it is to us when they constantly promote their kids HS Stats on social media? It screams ME over TEAM, none of us care about individual stats, just team and wins. Feel free to share this just leave my name out" -- Anonymous D1 Coach

    daily I see videos of kids "training" and working on stuff that will help them win a game of 1 on 1 but they cant shoot 20% from three in a game. 8 dribble moves won't help if D sags 4 feet off the non shooter. Parents need to invest $ in a shooting..make it make sense

    Parents: Quit tweeting for your child. It is obvious. Coaches do not like it. That is all.

    To parents of kids still competing in sports especially those getting started in high school: Enjoy every game, win or lose play good or bad. Time waits for no one you never know when it may be their last game. It’s a beautiful ride enjoy it as you’ll miss it when it’s over

    75 + coaches for a 16u 8am game? That’s the @WVThunderUAA effect. @Scottejohnson12 continues to provide the ultimate platform for his girls

    If all your workouts are focused on scoring in a 1 on 1 situation then you may struggle to play the game 5 on 5...those other 8 players aren't going to be standing still, some may actually play help D in a game. What looks good on twitter doesn't always translate to the game

    Saying “Congratulations “ just doesn’t seem enough, I’m literally at a loss for words trying to articulate how happy for and proud of @dee__2025 and @laniegrant2025 I am. Both will be representing the 🇺🇸 this summer as part of the U16 National Team. ❤️🤍🩵

    How many 13u teams play in front of 41 coaches plus Basketball Bob Corwin? I'm not talking about a 13u kid playing up on a 15/16u team (but how many 16u play on this stage) @Scottejohnson12 and his @WVThunder2027 squad have 27 coaches on the baseline w 14 more on balcony right

    8th pick in WNBA draft played 15 min (out of 40) a game and averaged 7.1 points per game.....read that again. And yet we have parents of middle school and HS kids who think their kid needs to score the ball and play a bunch of minutes to get a scholarship. #TheMoreYouKnow

    Thankful to coach in a program where I can focus on preparing for an opponent and not worry about some of the stressful things other coaches face this time of year (unrealistic parents, no show kids, drama between players, etc) @Scottejohnson12 runs the best program #wvthunderfam

    Absolutely unbelievable what @Scottejohnson12 has built over the last decade. Others tell stories and have nice slogans but photos don’t lie. What other program (besides @FBCMotton ) can put 30 different girls on 17u teams and provide them with this type of exposure? No one.

    Three different 17u teams 2 different circuits 2 different locations Same results= baselines and sidelines PACKED with coaches. Maximum exposure possible for 30 different girls……that’s what we do! #WVThunderFam | ⚡️⚡️

    Made the drive to support @dee__2025 as she's putting on her 1st @CampDee_ tonight at Purcell Marian. Camp Dee is a free camp for kids 8-13. Over 100 kids here at full capacity! Dee is a generational talent on the floor and an even better person off the court.
