- Please pause and say a prayer for Keyontae Johnson. He collapsed in the Florida-Florida State game. A great young man who needs our prayers
- Are you kidding me! Remember how happy you were to win a ring in HS! 2 NBA rings later its a wrap
- My office at Oak Hill Academy for 37 years, what a great place to work!
- I'm never one to complain, but need to say this. How can the leading scorer in the history of Oak Hill Academy, a school that has produced 33 McDonald's All-Americans not make the 2020 team? He was also the leading scorer of the EYBL circuit and a consensus top twenty player.
- Thank you Oak Hill Academy for honoring me today. So glad to be a Warrior for life!
- So excited to start my 34th year as Head Coach at Oak Hill. Always a challenge. 9 Nat'l titles. No other HS has as many as 4. #tradition
- Relationsshps are what coaching is all about. Coached @carmeloanthony 20 years ago and still have a bond for life! #Warriors
- New Uni's for this season. I think the players are going to like them, their coach does!

- The best skill that any player could ever have is to be coachable and correctable.
