- Man, I was watching this game last night and this was so incredible to me. Not just the fact the player did it, but the fact that a young man was willing to accept it from his teammate. Both speak volumes.Great example of what leadership looks like. x.com/ahandsintheair…
- This is why sports are amazing. Senior night last night @SCAEagleHoops and the 4 year manager got the start! Big props to University Academy for not only making this happen but jumping in the celebration when Patrick made the shot. Something got in my eyes & made them water!
00:00 - High school basketball literally saved my life. Sports do so much for our students whole person. Our kids are much safer with us than places they would be if we don’t play! #letthemplay
- Day 1 of my first season as a college coach. So thankful to work in a game that allows me to help develop young men and leaders! #RooUp
- I don’t cry much, especially in a gym full of people, but the text I got from @Isaiah_J13 after he won the @NCAADII championship today did it to me. It’s the rewards people don’t get to see...love you too Zai
- One of hardest parts of coaching is having players move on. If we do it the right way relationships will last a lifetime. It was a fun ride young men. My door & my heart is always open to you.
- Today was emotional for me as a father. It has been 22 months since Trey has pitched in a game due to TJ surgery. I have seen the ups & downs, frustrations & the pain. Today he got to toe the rubber & compete with his Crowder boys! Proud of his toughness & work ethic! 1st pitch!
