Duke University's cost of attendance next year: $96,597 "Athletes aren't paid"

It’s March 1. Let’s do this. 84 state tournament games coming. 12 state champions. Madness. Absolute madness. And, if you are complaining about really good, aggressive zone defenses you have been muted. Wahoo won 114 straight games doing just that. #nebpreps

Could be some suspensions coming from this. There was a two handed shove from behind that looked bad.

Ever seen Bill hang out on the court like that? I know he’s going on tv but he was soaking that shit in.

Sometimes you think life is tough. And then you see this. Love on your kids. Love on their teammates. It’s all high school sports should be about.

Still love this photo of the Bob Devaney Sports Center the first year it opened in 1976. Notice the 2-man officiating crew.

As a former head girls basketball coach and current 4th grade girls coach, AND current high school varsity official…you are spot on Tony!!! The current state of girls basketball in Nebraska (youth through high school) is in a very dangerous place. Makes me so sad.

Coached a lot of youth girls hoops this month. Really watching the concerning trends of participation in our state. Have a lot of thoughts on “the model” and why girls are quitting. - No need for second or third grade basketball GAMES. Skill development? Yes. 3-on-3 leagues? Awesome. - In youth volleyball, guess who refs the games? The other players and coaches. Police themselves. In basketball, girls get knocked over for 5-6 years and decide it’s not worth it in high school. I get it. - More players would play if we played FEWER GAMES that were better officiated. Just a hunch. “Hey mom, that was fun, I didn’t spend the whole game on the ground.” - I KNOW we have an officials shortage. But we have to SHUT UP at games at the JV and high school varsity level. Only makes it worse. On the other side…. - JV officials if you are getting paid, call the first HAND CHECK. Just don’t allow it. Then girls won’t get knocked over for 32 minutes and you’ll get a breather while they shoot free throws. I have seen way too many gruesome injures at the JV level the last few years. - Coaches!! I get the game has turned physical because of the whistle. But we can teach our kids to play without fouling!! I watched Bennington and Norris (on my TV, sadly) on Friday. Same for Elkhorn Valley and Central City. You can play GREAT defense without fouling. Promise. Ok. That’s enough. If you are playing in a conference tournament this week go have fun. Cut a dang net down. I hope I can watch your team soon. @PGHNebraska // #nebpreps


Only in this building man…




The Nebraska-Kansas State game had a bizarre ending where officials went back and added time on the clock. I asked lead official Matt Potter what happened: ““We identified a timing error, and had to put time back on the clock.” (Cont.)


Coming here to Ashland brought me more than I could've expected. It brought me a relationship with my wife Staci Jacobsen and my sons Tyler, Cale, Dane, and Tate and soon to add Makenna in May of 2026! I will leave today WITH my family...and I am grateful for them joining me!
