    I rarely tweet personal stuff but I always pause & reflect on 12/18. Eight yrs ago tonight I had a heart attack & expired on the operating room table. Saw the light & everything! Even in 2020 I'm grateful for the 2nd chance & thanks to you I'm doing what I can to make it count.

    The smile says it all! @maddyngreenway scores 43 pts to lead @PA_GirlsHoops to an 87-80 win over @HopkinGBB handing the Royals their 1st loss in forever. An epic struggle against the best of the best.

    Had to depart the Prelims unexpectedly yesterday to see the #1 prospect in the @PGHMinnesota Class of 2041 Winnie Mae Rautmann who came a couple weeks early! Thanks to @MinneapolisFire for their amazing home delivery in tough circumstances. Everyone is doing well! #proudgrandpa

    Replying to @MattRandazzo @kate_martin22 and @wqad
    The most Midwestern thing ever to celebrate a monumental family occasion in the garage! Gotta love it.

    I’ve been fired before. I’ve resigned for the sake of my mental & physical well-being. Either way it’s painful & lonely & I don’t ever want to go through it again. All I know is @Lindsay_13 is an awesome human who deserves nothing but the best. It’s been a fun 5 years.

    Attention MN girls basketball players: Celebrate today & put the hammer down tomorrow. You've got 66 days to prepare for the best 18 games of your life.

    Say what you want about this year's @GopherWBB squad but this group never quit. Never. Not even once. In a couple of years we'll look back on this season & realize how important their resilience this year was as a building block for the success to come at Minnesota.

    The numbers don’t lie. Give the audience an option to watch women’s basketball in prime time on a major network & they’re going to tune in.

    Iowa's win over South Carolina was the most-watched college basketball game on an ESPN network since a men's game between Duke and North Carolina in 2008 📺 (via @paulsen_smw)

    Basketball parents: do yourself a favor. Read this and remember it. I lost count this weekend of how many times I was asked ‘What are the parents like?’

    12 years ago today I actually died on the operating table in St Paul & against all odds lived to see another sunrise. Who knew that would lead to this amazing life I have today. Thanks to everyone who has made it possible. 🙏

    Bucket, Sprint Back, Steal. Whether you’re in a local YMCA league or a pro, making plays like this will keep you on the court.

    "Nobody cares about girls basketball," some told me 5 years ago when I started with @PGHMinnesota. "Why waste your time?" Analytics don't lie folks. These are December's Twitter numbers for the @GMacHoops account & they speak for themselves. 2021 has been a very good year!
