Head Men’s Basketball Coach - Augustana University | Faith, Family, Basketball | NCAA DII | @AugieMBB | #BuildingChampions
Too many kids and parents filled with this D1 or bust mentality. I went D2, played in front of 3,000 fans, had success, chances to play professionally overseas and most importantly got my schooling and degree completely paid for. Athletes understand D2/NAIA/D3/JuCo is elite!- AAU Directors & Coaches stop putting an emphasis on just D1 offers! Anytime a kid can get his schooling paid for & continue to play the game he loves it should be celebrated. At ANY level! Celebrate the D2-NAIA offers just as much as the D1. College ball at any level is special!
- Had no servants, yet they called Him Master. Had no degree, yet they called Him Teacher. Had no medicines, yet they called Him Healer. Had no army, yet kings feared Him. He committed no crime, yet they crucified Him. He was buried in a tomb, yet He lives today. His name is Jesus!
- In 2007-2008 I had 4 Division 1 offers, 20+ D2 offers & 50+ D3/NAIA offers. My final 4 schools included one D1, two D2’s and one NAIA school. Players stop worrying about level and start worrying about fit! Went D2, free schooling, played in 3 NCAA Tournaments, broke records. FIT!
- I was fortunate enough to play in 3 state championship games in high school & 3 NCAA D2 national tournaments in college because I was surrounded by “winners”, good players & great teammates. Players read this quote as you get ready for Jan/Feb. Buy in, have fun, play hard. WE>me!
- Excited to announce that I am the new Head Boys Basketball Coach at 5A Royse City ISD! Incredible administration, student-athletes and facilities here. Can’t wait to get started. Go Bulldogs! #BulldogPride
- Players: Summer is here & you have a choice to make. Do you have an hour a day for the gym & an hour a day for the weight room? Skill development 4 days a week & being in the weight room 4 days a week can take your game to another level. 168 hrs in a week, do you have 8 to give?
- This world needs Jesus!
- If you’ve ever been a player or a coach you understand that night before your first game feeling. Whether you’re an 8th Grader, HS Senior, College Player or Coach there’s nothing like being 24 hrs away from tip-off. Fired up for our guys & excited to lead this team for 31 games!
- The last 24 hours having been incredible. The phone calls, text messages, social media posts, DM’s have been overwhelming. The Augustana family is special. We could not be more excited to get back to South Dakota and be surrounded by great people. Time to get to work @AugieMBB!
