Since I have not been able to respond to everyone that has reached out, I decided to write a statement about the events of today! Two things that I believe & will continue to do: #TakeTheStairs & #TrustTheGoodLord!

It’s amazing how the Good Lord works! I cannot thank @CoachDixon enough for this opportunity to help build upon the success that @TCUBasketball has already achieved! I look forward & cannot wait to help @CoachRyanMiller, @CbOreece, @montigel11 & the rest of the #FrogFam! 😈

I have never coached or even met a bad shooter that was a gym rat! There is only one secret to becoming a great shooter: put in the time!

Attn Coaches: if you still have camps & have not ordered t-shirts, save yourself some trouble & order all mediums. You can ask a kid that is 6-8 & 240 lbs what size t-shirt he wants, & he will say, “Let me have that medium.”

Huge congrats to @DBane0625 & @TCUBasketball on being the 30th pick in the @NBADraft! Probably the best shooter that I’ve ever seen, one of my favorite players to ever coach, an extremely hard worker, but most importantly, a great teammate & an even better person! #TakeTheStairs

Big Link: I am forever grateful for having the opportunity to coach you, as you are one of the highest character players that I have ever coached or even met! I am so excited about your future & cannot wait to see what the Good Lord has in store for you next! #TakeTheStairs #CAWT
Time for grievance is often short lived in this business as people must plan the next move, but let me say this: @CoachScottCross and his staff have had an unmatched impact on the teams. Beyond blessed to have been given a chance by him, Young, Buncik, and Mangrum. #Thankful🙏🏾

Dear ESPN & FOX:
We would much rather watch the full baseline out of bounds play than the replay of the previous possession.

Pretty fired up to see my oldest make this move in a game. Big thanks to my guy @walshjordan1 for working with him & giving him confidence & turning him into a player that is more than just a 3-pt shooter!

Lol!!!! If @A_Cross10 would’ve taken a charge, I would have given him a standing ovation. At least the @TroyTrojansMBB players have video proof that I am the same w/ my kids as I am with them! Lol. #TakeTheStairs
.@athletics_CHHS gets the big win in boys basketball over Carroll 74-61. @A_Cross10 with a game high 32 points! Dad was unimpressed after the fourth three he put in the first quarter.

Me: “Tyler: Where is your 3rd place 🏅 that u won?”
Tyler: “I think it is in the trash or something.”
Jen: “Yes, he was mad & bashed it against the ground & threw it in the trash after losing on a last second shot.”
Should we count this as a #ParentingWin?

3 things you can count on: Death, taxes, & when @brentjones4 gives you his word!
But, the reason all of this was worthwhile is bc @TroyTrojansFB got the W & kept the belt where it belongs!
Thank you! #OneTROY
I am a man of my word! @CoachScottCross earned this helmet for his amazing display of school pride at the @TroyTrojansFB game! Enjoy it coach! #OneTROY

Please help me wish “Happy Birthday” to this amazing woman that ages better than fine wine. As CEO of Team Cross, she does it all!
