    Couldn’t have asked for a better season. 21 wins. Conference champs. 1st NCAA Tourney win in school history. My favorite player ever (Reggie Miller) called our first tourney game and then I got to share a special moment w/ my father in the second one, which I will NEVER forget...

    Happy birthday to my best friend @stlappas. I know I’m biased but nobody I would rather listen call a basketball game. @AndrewCatalon Excited to watch you guys do your thing again tomorrow!

    On my way to Amherst to coach a game against the Minutemen tomorrow. A little over 14 years ago I stormed the court as a 14 year old kid when UMass beat a top 10 Uconn team. Ran right by @stlappas on the way. Time flies when you’re having fun!

    So incredibly proud of the 30 for 30 my sister @klappas14 directed. Absolutely inspiring to watch the story of the 1996 US Women’s basketball team and all the hurdles and obstacles they had to overcome to get the gold. That was a special one…well done KIK ! #DREAMON

    ...And last, I got to coach and mentor a SPECIAL group of kids who never quit or backed down from any challenge that came their way. For 6 months we worked towards a goal together and we believed for every second of it. Thank you, this truly was a year I will always remember!

    Spike Lee told a tragic story in 1989 in “Do the Right Thing” that explores the same EXACT issues we still face today in 2020. 31 years later & little has changed. Highly recommend watching this movie this week. Let’s start now and be infinitely better in the next 31 years. #NOW
