I guess I missed when it became acceptable for ESPN and others to make a complete story out of Coaches holding players accountable (the latest being MSU HC Tom Izzo). Are you at practice, weights, film study, etc. with their group everyday?#sensitivesociety

- Great job by @SteveDrussell for the Alaska High School Showcase event at Bartlett HS this morning. He cares for kids in the 49th State and it’s awesome to see!
- Appreciate @UAAVolleyball @UAAWBB and @UAAGymnastics taking time out of their busy schedules to come out and support their fellow student-athletes against in-state rival Alaska Fairbanks tonight. Thanks guys.
- Thank you to @JUCOadvocate for another fantastic event in Windsor. Great to see so many coaches and prospects. Well done to Brandon and his team.
- Winning a basketball game is very difficult. @UAAWBB has 16 one game winning streaks at this point in time. I hope others realize how hard that is to do. Stay the course @CoachRMcCar @ShainAfoa @afakasi24. Great people to work alongside. #SeawolfNation
- So happy for @MSUCoachSprink and @CoachLWilson on their respective head coaching posts. Two outstanding individuals and leaders of young men. Class acts! Will do great things as success follows both of them wherever they go.
