I have known @KevinWillard for about ten years now, going back to his Seton Hall days.
It’s crazy seeing media and people try to characterize him. Clearly don’t know him.
He is going to do a great job @NovaMB! The future is bright on the Main Line.

I can’t express how proud I am of Reef Knox. Lacked the maturity he needed initially. Quit ball, gained 80lbs and looked like his life was going the wrong direction. Changed his life. Got back in shape. Helped Langston Univ team have success. Graduated today! TepUp!!

Sending prayers to the family of Tom Puck McKenna, a Philly Bball original. If you played, coached and scouted in the Philly area for any length of time, you know Puck!

The portal- I wish we knew the % of players that get forced into the portal. I just had a player get forced into the portal by a new coach in the PSAC…

Fans and media folks are not happy w the portal and NIL….
There is a problem when players leave a school and financial benefit is a big part of the reason.
There is not a problem when coaches leave one school for another for a better financial opportunity…
