FANTASTIC!!! 1st Round!!! Memphis is getting a great one!!!! #NBADraft2021 #LoyolaGREAT

Happy Birthday Mariah!!! #raybucknell🔶🔷🦬

Still just scratching surface. Appreciate Coach @trevorwoodruff and staff for the opportunity & development!!

J Cobb came to Bradley and our defense went from 11th in the league to first. The past two seasons, we have had one of the best defense in the MVC and three all conference guards. Time to get to work in The Heights!

The Desert Grind 🏜️ 💥 High intensity & nonstop action took center stage at the USA 3x3 Men’s Development Camp in Phoenix!

Appreciate @usab3x3 for having me out as a Court Coach for the U23 Development Camp. Felt great to be back in my element both coaching talented young men and around the 3x3 game which I played for 11 years (7 National Championships). If only it was an Olympic sport in 2012!!

Straight from the horse’s mouth…. @AlvaradoJose15 had a GREAT college career and was still an underdog. But his passion, focus, ability to be coached, honesty with himself, drive to seize any opportunity…. I could go on and on w/ controllable traits.

Momma, there goes that press again…. 👀

Coach Dawn Staley!!!! 🙌🏽

@ChrisOney10 I don’t disagree with anything you’ve said. It all makes total sense, from the TV. UConn had the possession, btw.

High level college basketball players and coaches would have none that the arrow was in their favor. They also would have told their best ft shooter once he got the ball to be strong with it because the possession arrow is with us. Just saying. When you make millions of dollars to coach a team small winning decisions should be a part of your DNA. Not to mention they have 40 assistant coaches over there on the sideline.

The “sell your soul” press usually equates to a steal or a wide open dunk. Boeheim’s Syracuse teams were great at it. Of course all the twitter “gurus” claim they would’ve held it. In heat of moment, hard to avoid trying to hit wide open guy if you have space. Gotta contest tho.

@ChrisOney10 High level college basketball players and coaches don’t need anyone on twitter to defend them. I just know from experience (3-1 vs. ‘Cuse where they used it), that press is unique. Almost illogical. Until it works. Kid holds it and they tie him up, what are folks saying!?

@CoachTHardy Dude quit making excuses for them. Get the ball in to your best ft shooter and tell him to hold it and get fouled. No guru though.

This @NULax goalie is amazing!!!! Great win for the ‘Cats!!!

@BubwickBill2024 As coaches we are charged with preparing young men for long term success. I spend most of my time thinking about this topic from a career advisory standpoint. So many former players (many Black) aspire to coach college hoops. Important to understand climate then go beat the odds!

@CoachTHardy As a Black Man i have to ask you Why is everything about Race?? L

Black Head Coaches in men’s college basketball is nearing the endangered species classification.

@NCAA_HoopsGuru I am not talking about any specific situation at all. Just the numbers of outgoing vs. incoming. 17 of 39 outgoing. 4 of 25 spots filled as of now. Still 14 spots open, but was pointing out the large % decline. Not an indictment of any situation.

@CoachTHardy you are clearly talking about carolina and last time guru checked — matt doherty is the whitest cat there is. Unc & kentucky level programs have borderline unrealistic expectations. plenty of great black heads coaches — this was the wrong example to play the card for. do better

@tristan_sudbury @CoachJSmithTXST 17 of 39 open jobs thus far this cycle were. Only 1 of those 17 left for a bigger job. 3 of the 39 filled. 15 still open. My observation was not a judgement on any particular situation.

@CoachTHardy @CoachJSmithTXST Do you have numbers to further support this fact?

@NCAA_HoopsGuru My observation was not about me. Grateful for my shot. Proud of my time. Hard gig as evident by the record since my departure and before I got there with the exception of 2 or 3 years. But not impossible. Timing and luck helps.

@CoachTHardy 66–110....38–66

@Bron_23_Bron No doubt. I didn’t say extinct. Way more going out with very few coming in this cycle. Just an observation.

@CoachTHardy Tony Skinn exists bro

I will never run a marathon. But if I did… this is the only way I could do it. 🙌🏽
