@UWOCoachLewis My daughter has been coming to your camps and you did such as amazing job teaching these younger kids the intangibles like being a great teammate!! Good luck to you!

There’s nothing more dangerous in high school basketball than an unselfish star player. The one who passes when they could shoot, plays defense like their scholarship depends on it, and lifts their teammates. Talent wins games — but humility wins championships.

THANK YOU @PrepGirlsHoops @LisaMVanWyk @WisconsinBlaze

No comfort, no passengers. We compete with each other to complete the team. We don’t protect feelings; we protect standards.  That’s how talent turns into titles.

@McKennafreier @WisconsinBlaze @BradyJ_Peterson @PGHWisconsin @LisaMVanWyk Can’t wait to see you play this season! ❤️

A wise coach once said, "If you have to beg them to play, you will have to beg them to stay." You don't beg a Wolf to hunt... The Standard is the standard.

Winning tournaments feels exciting, but it doesn’t always mean players are developing. In fact, chasing wins at the youth level can sometimes get in the way of long-term growth. Here are some thoughts from two years of observing the youth space. A thread. 🧵

As summer ends I'm reflecting on how we teach attacking space & our concepts. The focus continued being on drive direction & being simple. Make & take individual space. Process goals focus on starts/stops/pivots. Attacking space simply. The reason:

Happy Birthday in Heaven today Dad! You would be 85 today. I just want you to know we love you very much and miss you greatly every day. You are the best! Love you from the Petitgoue family and WBCA family.

Congrats to our Wisconsin Blaze 16 Black team on the Silver Championship at @TFNsRun4Roses! So proud of you, ladies and coaches!! 🌹

Looking at the context of this — college coach wants to see possible recruits defend — I understand. It also hints at the dichotomy of summer basketball: player exposure or practicing what your team does in season. We try to be cognizant of both. Everyone plays. Be simple. Play.

An amazing coach! Great memories at Tri-state team camp. Ran a tight ship and demanded the best. RIP

What does a strong team culture look like? 1. We > Me 2. Process > Prize 3. Serving > Self-Serving 4. Learning > Knowing 5. Positivity > Negativity 6. Encouraging > Ignoring Choose to lead. Be a gatekeeper of your culture.

The only way you can take the next step and grow is by admitting where you’re at now. 👉🏽Down bc of injuries our 16u Black team walked into the last game (#6) this weekend versus an EYCL squad with only 5 players and they beat em 75-52. So proud of the entire @WisconsinBlaze team and Myla for keeping her eyes forward focused and finding her groove with 🔟‼️3 pointers!!! 🔥🔥🔥 🌟Confidence comes with reps and time. 🙏🏽We believe in you Myla! @chris_abaray @JrAllStarWI @PGHWisconsin @Gvance_hoops @BradyJ_Peterson @NorbertDurst @dougritchay @BlazeBoysBBall @DakotaBenson @litvinoff22 @mereottman14
