    So you want a Postgrad year at a prep school? I’ve heard a lot about Bridgton. “Embrace the suck”, “mind over grind”, “one and done”...Here’s what doesn’t “suck”....The day AFTER graduation putting the work in at the Wolverdome. Call me if you’ve got that guy#BridgtonHoopsFamily

    People ask me in the Covid and transfer portal era, can a young man without a D1 scholarship get one in a prep year? Sure he can: with talent,toughness, tools, and team mentality. Oh yeah, does he really know how to play too? Send me that/this guy if you got him!!#EarnWayBA

    Just in by drone from The Bucket Barn at BA. To past players whose blood, sweat, and tears shaped this iconic gym and to the future players with dreams and dribbles that take them to one of New England’s most storied prep environments. And to the coaches who have come to watch.

    RIP Coach Knight. I was a 28 year old head coach at New Hampton when the Knight family and Patrick chose to enroll at our school and play hoop. All of us on that team could tell a lot of good stories. Pat managed it all very well. Prep basketball changed in no small way#MaxGood

    Just learned that NCAA D3 tourney rule limits dress roster to 15. With colleges everywhere carrying larger teams these days, this is plain not right. Reward young men who contribute huge “sweat equity” by putting them in street clothes for “dance”? That’s nuts #NCAAChangeNow
