    Soft people will always let you down. It’s always someone else’s fault, there is always an excuse, and they can’t take responsibility. If there’s one thing 19 years of college coaching has taught me... you need talent but you need toughness more. Everyone is replaceable.

    Funny how division I schools are telling guys that we are both recruiting “Why would want to go to an NAIA, you are too good to go there.” To those schools… Since we are just an NAIA put us on your schedule. We will come play for no money.

    I worked my first three years in college basketball for a whopping $0. I took an assistant job making less than 20k after being a successful head coach… and it took me 17 years in college basketball to earn what I would consider a “good living.”

    I love it when we are recruiting a guy and another school tells the recruit that he shouldn’t play for me because I’m hard to play for. I absolutely am, I don’t hide that one bit. I think most parents are “hard” on their kids because they love them and want the best for them.

    For an HBCU to make a national championship game is unbelievable! We realized we weren’t just playing for Talladega College but for HBCU’s across the country. I could not be more proud of our guys or more humbled to be their coach. #DegaStrong

    Our program isn’t for everyone, I’m very transparent about that. If you don’t want to get coached hard, this isn’t for you! We want to be elite! You have to have talent to win but at the end of the day the team with good talent and the best toughness usually wins it all!

    Definitely wouldn’t make it in small college basketball. 😂😂 Six hour bus rides are more of a norm than an exception.

    My dad has been ICU for the past 7 days and isn’t doing well. Those of you that know my dad know that there is no bigger @TexasTech fan on the planet! Thank you so much @CoachAdams_TTU for sending this basketball. It means far more than you could possibly know! 🙏#GunsUp
