Energy, Effort, and Communication. If you don’t want to take practice this seriously, don’t expect to play in college.
This is what a college practice looks like. So impressed with Tobin Anderson and his @STACBasketball program — very high level of play.
And, yes, that’s big Kevin Lynch on the finish.

Great perspective on the bigger picture after a tough loss from Parkland Head Coach John Bowler, who was let go as an assistant at Milwaukee three years ago:
"There's just a lot to be grateful for and a lot to be thankful for what God has given me."

A trend I noticed in recruiting right now is: Today’s portal stud was yesterday’s JUCO recruit that someone thought wasn’t good enough last year.
Lot of value in those players that should be taken seriously.

Proud of this group. Fell short but lots of accomplishments. Ranked 8th in the country by @masseyratings. Played one of the toughest schedules in the country (1/3 of opponents ranked nationally).
These men will be very successful at the next level. DMACC Brotherhood is strong.
The 2018-2019 season came to a close tonight in the Regional Semifinals.
Thank you to all our fans for the support.

As @NCAA coaches reach out in Danville this week interested in recruiting our players, it’s imperative to bring this back up for all the athletes there. @NJCAA athletes aren’t getting the same opportunities in their recruiting & transfer process. #SameGameSameRules
As a member of the NJCAA Men’s Basketball Coaches Association, I fully support the changes needed to be made to provide equity in opportunity for our @NJCAA student-athletes as it relates to transferring to the @NCAA Division 1 level.
This is long overdue.

People will talk about LeBron getting dunked on.
What people won’t talk about enough: One of the best players ever, at 39 years old, sacrificing for the team by attempting to take a charge. Trying to win every possession.
Lot of players at all levels wouldn’t have bothered.
