Cannot explain what tonight meant to me. @Sean_Flan10 coaching on the opposite side- he is a fantastic coach and is going to have a great career! I’m a proud dad! Thanks to all the family, friends, players that came out tonight. Great atmosphere!! Thanks to my team and to @WalshJesuitMBB for a great memory! @SEHS_BASKETBALL

The ONE thing I love about AAU, it helps me realize how far away MY kids are away from a D1 scholarship. I just wish other parents would as well! #Realtalk

Kids NEED to be in school for their mental, emotional, social, and physical health. Extracurriculars r just as important to their development. If we continue to keep them away there r going to be much worse consequences
Start thinking of our young people!

My suggestion to @OHSAASports May 7th is 8 weeks from now. Perfect weekend to finish off winter sports tourneys. Following week spring sports begin thru May and June, Spring state tourney in early July. Seniors head off to college. Start scheduling now! Just my thoughts.

Regarding all the speculation on the CSU job, Would like to put an end to it.Thx to all the coaches that reached out, college, HS, and professional. I am extremely happy to say that I will be returning to St. Edward HS next year and attempt to win another State Title! #GoEagles

First player led practice of the season. Coaches do not coach unless asked by players. Builds communication. Was one of the best practices of the year. Player led teams are better than coach led teams if done in the right way! Proud of this group! #edsup

So it’s official, @Sean_Flan2 has finished the season as the leader in assist to turnover ratio in the entire NCAA- Div. 1,2,3. That’s the BEST in the COUNTRY! Congrats Sean Flannery!

I am not sure how to take this in our coaching profession. What is supposed to be the highest level in our game, it takes zero experience to get the best jobs. I understand the @NBA is a different game, however still frustrating to see. Our game is in a weird place.
ESPN Sources: JJ Redick has agreed on a four-year contract to become the next coach of the Los Angeles Lakers. Rob Pelinka offered job this morning and Redick’s started working on a staff to surround himself with experience.

I cannot state this loud enough. I am happy and excited for ALL the teams that have made the Final 4 this year @OHSAASports but all these teams do not get to experience what the Final 4 weekend meant in the past and I feel bad for them all. It’s a shame what we are doing to our sport and the kids. I am getting old, but I feel for those who cannot experience what I have. First- St. John Arena, now the Final 4- what’s next?

Sad day for @mamaflan6 and I, we watched our last child play their last competitive game of their career. Fun ride. Advice to parents: enjoy them, support them and love them. Let your child succeed and fail on their own and sports will teach them lessons that last a lifetime!

Just another example of how college recruiting has been influenced- Sincere Carry- is one of the best in the state- yet only D2 offers? Where is CSU? Where is the MAC? Would love to see college BBall today when they just recruited HS players- that were scouted-in school- etc.

Personally, I believe all HS’s should promise this senior class, that no matter how long it takes- they will have an in-person graduation and prom. Majority would come back in 2 years if needed, and it’s the right thing to do! #2020Seniors

Making cuts today, one of the hardest days in the life of a coach. But always put myself in the players shoes and know it may be their toughest day as well. Coaches show empathy for EVERY player, they wanted to be a part of your program and they will be hurting.

If we r going to continue with NIL money for college athletes, I would like to see one change. Any money received must first go to cover tuition. Isn’t a scholarship similar to getting paid? This is coming from a dad who is paying for 4 college tuitions. @NCAA
