What a journey it has been.

Theo Von’s honesty about Jesus’s question “Do you want to be healed?” shows remarkable transparency. I encourage you to have the same kind of introspection and pray for the Lord to keep working in @TheoVon 🙏🏼 As one who has said, “Yes” to Jesus, I confirm He is with it.

Every training camp I had at Washington State University, Coach Leach would share the same story. The story of two kids. The rich kid and the poor kid. The rich kid has two choices. He can become spoiled, entitled, lazy, and expect everything to be handed to him because he has been given more. Or he can take every advantage of what he has been given—resources, coaching, opportunities—and use it to become even better. The poor kid has two choices too. He can say, “I never had a chance. Nobody gave me anything. The world is against me.” He can feel sorry for himself and use it as an excuse. Or he can say, “I may not have what they have, but I am going to outwork everybody.” He can become tougher, more driven, and more relentless than everybody else. It was a powerful message in a locker room full of people from different backgrounds, different families, and different life experiences. Some guys came from wealth. Some came from almost nothing. Some had every opportunity. Others had to fight for every inch. But despite all of those differences, everybody still had the same choice. You can take ownership and use what you have as fuel. Or you can become victim-minded. You can look for excuses, blame your circumstances, become entitled, and convince yourself that because of what you have—or because of what you do not have—you cannot become what you want to be. It is not about how you start. It is about what you choose to do with how you start. The rich kid can waste what he has been given or use it to build something greater. The poor kid can use his circumstances as an excuse or as fuel. In the end, greatness does not come from starting with more or less. It comes from which person inside of you that you choose to feed.

That is the essence of coaching. Build a bridge for your players to cross to be successful in life.

Kamiah Kid. Seen it at a high level. Respect our elders and tradition of our State. Doesn’t happen everywhere anymore.

Talking with a lot of Coaches around the State of Idaho today, there is a lot of disappointment in this decision. Addition of shot clock was huge a few years back. We need to continue to grow the game in this GREAT BASKETBALL STATE.

When we should be playing more games, now, we are removing 2 games 🤮🤮.

Prayers for Dick Vitale (@DickieV). 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

I obviously did not get the report today that I was hoping for when my oncologist called . It has been 10 days of many exams Pet Scan - Cat scan - 2 MRI’s- Biopsy - multiple bloodwork - now at least I know what I face.

"Happy to carry the flag for all the managers, the GAs, the grunts, cause it's possible. It's tough but it's possible." @MattNorlander with National Championship winning head coach Dusty May

Dear Alex Karaban, Thank You for an incredible four-year career. You are truly one of the great winners and ambassadors in the history of college basketball. Walk Proud. Today. Tomorrow. And Forever. Sincerely, America

“All year we have been saying the talent is our floor but our character will determine our ceiling. And I am just so confident in their character, and that’s what determined how they played today.” Talent makes you comparable. Character makes you unforgettable.

“Put work in OUTSIDE of team practices.” “Play 1 on 1… play pick up.” “More unstructured play” Just go HOOP!

#Purdue Matt Painter was as real with me after their loss to Arizona as he could be on how impressed he was with his team this season in this “new era” for college athletes. THIS is worth the listen.  “For people when I played…for people to bust your a** about something, you had to read the morning newspaper…today it’s just 24/7" @WISHNews8

Matt Painter is unbelievably proud of his seniors and the standard they have set for the program 🚂
