Yes, as a coach, I AM EXTRA! I demand excellence. I challenge mediocre. I don't accept excuses. I check bad behavior. I battle anything that keeps you from greatness. I get frustrated when I know you have more in you to give. I get mad when talent doesn't work! I am real!

"JUCO" = opportunity, experience, playing time, growth, maturity, family, seasoning, development and for many their best college memories! If only closed minds came with closed mouths!

IT'S CALLED SACRIFICE!!Bre quit her HS coaching job to volunteer for me at TJC and took a mailroom job on campus to support her family. Two years later, she is a JUCO head coach. Sometimes, you have to sacrifice what you want now for what you want more. #tillisaboutit

We sign players to be PLAYERS! No one should have to motivate you to greatness or cuss you to get the best out of you. A player's expectation for themselves should be high based on what they are trying to achieve. DOING JUST ENOUGH IS NOT ENOUGH! EXCELlence is always wanted!

Delores is one month! She is enjoying life with her 66 siblings. It took 21 years, 9 months, and 21 days of labor to deliver her, and she has been an amazing addition to the Apache family.

Off-season is not optional here at TJC; it's mandatory. We do, however, give them Fridays off, yet we still have young ladies working on their off day. That's how you elevate YOU, young athletes. If you want more, do more than is expected.

The JUCO GRIND is arriving home in the dark and heading out again before it's light the next day. It's coffee, audio books, and pure hustle muscle. It is not for everyone. Anyone who disrespects what we do is simply apathetic and disrespectful of our level. #tillisaboutit

Buy-in, Buy-in, Buy-in is the difference between a good team and a great team. 🏀ne band 🏀ne sound. A coach's job is to sell the buy-in, but the player must make the purchase. If this transaction is not made, success is difficult.

Signing a player for me is not about talent; it's about the room for growth within your game. Even more, it's about your desire to grow your game, which can not be done without you using your hustle muscle. You Grow or You Go!!! The player standing still doesn't go anywhere.

I called Coach Blair and old man on his Aug 10th BD. He responded with "Well me being old does that make you middle-aged." I am now officially the "old coach" that I thought he was when I played at SFA. 29 years in coaching and still demonstrating in drills but needing ice.

Players who fear their parents are just built differently when it comes to authority. "My parents never punished me," scares me as a coach. At my age, I still "act as if" I can get tore up from the floor up. This mindset is called home training.

Junior College is a great option! Playing time over bench riding. Relationships over a business model. An extra degree. Life-long friendships and connections. Skill development and a true path to the next level. A grind experience that humbles you. HUNGRY KIDS READY TO EAT!

God's scoreboard is different from ours. He judges not by money, statistics, or fame but by the state of our hearts and our desire to serve him. God calls us to be faithful, not "successful." Real success often happens behind the scenes, and only God can measure it accurately.
