To the public a coach’s record is judged based on a scoreboard. As a society we want instant results & gratification. I received an email from a young man I coached 15 years ago. He’s a successful police officer, father and husband. He wanted to say thanks. That’s winning.

- 25 years ago I had to convince the staff at Atlantic HS that I was actually the JV basketball coach at Santaluces HS. Tonight we open at Michigan St. Thank you to all those who have loved and supported me, those who have played for and coached on those teams. Live your dreams!
- Extremely grateful for the opportunity. Excited to get better one rep at a time.Let's get to work. #SWOOP
00:00 - Throughout a lifetime as a coach, as an athlete and as a fan I’ve heard our National Anthem played thousands of times. It always evokes emotion. Nothing will ever come close to the feeling I experienced watching my son graduate from boot camp. I’m extremely proud and grateful.
- 30 years ago today I became a father. I wasn’t much more than a kid having a kid. All I ever wanted was to keep him safe & provide all of the opportunities this world has to offer. Yesterday I got to celebrate him. He has chosen to serve and I couldn’t be prouder. HBD Trey.
- A future @OspreyMBB recruit will be part of a great story. Flat tire tonight on the way home from recruiting. @UNFOspreys is happy they don’t pay me by the hour to change it. I’m sure it won’t be the only bump in the road this year. This one is handled as will the next. #Swoop

- Great way to finish boot camp this am. Between playing and coaching this will be my 35th straight year being part of a team. Value relationships above all. I will never lose sight of the work required to ensure that I will get a chance to coach a 36th team. Embrace our journey.

- Hiring @DavidAucremann was an extremely easy decision. He embodies all of the qualities that are necessary for success as a coach. He’s unquestionably authentic, has a sharp mind and an inquisitive nature. His solution based approach will benefit @OspreyMBB program. #SwoopExcited to announce the addition of North Florida alum David Aucremann to the staff! 📰 bit.ly/4n6nm5H #SWOOP

- 1st game today @FABCHoops. 16 years ago was my 1st day @UNFOspreys. On the 2nd day went to see @Will_Wilsoniv and his family. He kept his commitment to @OspreyMBB becoming the 1st to commit to us. He’s impacting lives @TocoiBasketball on and off the court. #Swoop X #BirdsofTrey
