- It was an honor speaking at the largest Native American tournament in the county! (Phoenix) #blackfeetpride
- As a coach this is one of the most touching gestures I’ve ever received! @iamnjohn13 (Nick Johnson) is a great player but a better person!
- Tremendous honor spending time with Sen.Tester (& staff) I appreciate the work he is doing. It was great to visit w fellow Montanans here in DC, we talked Montana, Indian Country & some basketball!Had the pleasure of getting to know Montana's own Justin and Jordan Wetzel today. Sadly, I didn't get to show @CoachWetzel my jump shot—maybe next time!🏀
- My uncle passed away yesterday, he was my first basketball idol. He had his battles in recent yrs but he was a fighter & winner, I was proud to be his nephew! Below is an article on some of his amazing accomplishments.Montana Native American hoops legend Don Wetzel Sr. dies at 74 montanasports.com/high-school-sp…
- I’m fortunate to have coached at 11 different places in my career, but 1st & foremost I’m a member of the Blackfeet Indian Nation. I could not be more proud to come from resilient people who fought to survive a genocide so I could be afforded opportunities in life."If someone in Indian Country, a young person has a goal to maybe coach at the professional level some day, hopefully I can be an example. It's really about trying to provide representation, if you can see it, that's easier sometimes." - Justin Wetzel, Assistant Coach
