Success in the Turkey Woods today @NWTF_official @ForTurkeys @MichiganDNR

What was Ben McCollum’s message to his team when they trailed by 10 tonight? “He slammed his white board and broke his marker on the floor. Ink everywhere. … He was just telling us we sucked, and we were soft.” The best still hold players accountable

Nate Oats on his contract: "When my salary goes up a half million dollars every year -- you know how long it took me to make a half million dollars at Romulus? I got paid 4,700 a year to coach basketball for 11 years."

It isn’t just student behavior. It’s the lack of consequences that usually heighten that behavior.

👊🏼 THE ABSOLUTE BEST VIDEO ON PARENTING YOU WILL SEE TODAY!!! 💥 “TELLING YOUR CHILD TO STOP FUC*ING WHINING IS NOT GOING TO TRAUMATIZE THEM.”

We need more coaches like Rick Pitino!

Love this from #Illini head coach Brad Underwood - asked if he has any issue/finds it unfair to have to play Houston IN Houston in the Sweet 16. "I could care less... I'm an old JUCO ball coach. I drove on 16 passenger fans. I drove from Dodge City, Kansas to Mesa, Arizona for a basketball game... If you had told me back then that I'm getting to coach basketball in the Sweet 16 and play Houston - I would sign up for it, I would crawl to get there." Says regardless of where the game is, Illinois would/will need to play well to beat the Cougars. (Video from NCAA)

Congratulations to Richmond Head Coach Scott Evans on Career Win #5️⃣0️⃣0️⃣! @RCSBlueDevils

Just like Curt Cignetti with Indiana Football, Ben McCollum spent a LONG time coaching at lower levels before getting the opportunity to coach at a Power 5 School You don’t hear a lot of whining from these guys - it’s always gratitude and hard work

Thought this was awesome from Tom Izzo today. He was asked his secret to still being so “invigorated” as a coach. “When you get to share a moment with guys that stuck with you and you stuck with them… that’s the joy I get out of coaching.”

High Point Guard Chase Johnston shared The Gospel on @wakeupbarstool this morning & explained how Jesus Christ saved him though a convicting conversation with his brother 3 years ago. Great job diving into this, @TBob53 👏

Tom Izzo shares an uncomfortable truth about earning your spot. "You play real good, you start. You don't play as good, you work your way back in." "That's the American way - except America has gotten soft." You don't get what you want in life - you get what you earn. It starts with showing up and earning it every single day. No shortcuts...Just hard work. (🎥@CBBonFOX )

Don’t judge a book by it’s cover 🤣🤣🤣

“First & foremost, I wanna give all glory to my Lord & Savior, Jesus Christ… We’re a group of guys built on John 15:13. We serve each other. We love each other. We’d die for each other.” - #12 High Point G Chase Johnston after upsetting #5 Wisconsin “Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.” John 15:13.

Today doesn’t officially begin until you watch the “Leprechaun in Mobile, Alabama” video

19 years ago, a high school basketball coach put his team manager into a game for the final four minutes. The kid had never played a single minute of competitive basketball in his life. He scored 20 points. Jason McElwain was diagnosed with severe autism at age two. He didn’t speak until he was five. He couldn’t chew solid food until he was six. He wore a nappy for most of his early childhood. As a baby, he was rigid, wouldn’t make eye contact, and hid in corners away from other children. He tried out for his school basketball team every year and got cut every time. Too small. Too slight. Barely 5’6 and about 54 kilograms. But he loved the game so much that his mum called the school and asked if there was any way he could be involved. The coach created a team manager role for him. For three years, McElwain showed up to every practice and every game. He wore a shirt and tie on match days. He ran drills, handed out water, kept stats, and cheered every basket like he’d scored it himself. On 15 February 2006, the last home game of his final school year, the coach let him suit up in a proper jersey and sit on the bench. With four minutes left and a comfortable lead, the coach sent him in. His first shot missed. His second missed. Then something shifted. He hit a three-pointer. Then another. Then another. His teammates stopped shooting entirely and just kept passing him the ball. He hit six three-pointers and a two-pointer. 20 points in four minutes. The highest scorer in the game. When the final buzzer went, the entire crowd rushed the court and lifted him onto their shoulders. His mum tapped the coach on the shoulder, in tears. “This is the nicest gift you could have ever given my son.” McElwain won the ESPY Award for Best Moment in Sports that year, beating out some of the biggest names in professional sport. He’s 36 now. He works at a local supermarket, coaches basketball, has run 17 marathons including five Boston Marathons, and travels the country speaking about never giving up. When asked about that night, his coach still gets emotional. “For him to come in and seize the moment like he did was certainly more than I ever expected. I was an emotional wreck.”

South Florida Head Coach Bryan Hodgson’s dad has dementia, so he’s never been able to go watch him coach USF got their first round game close to his hometown, so he’s gonna be able to watch him for the first time Bigger than sports

You get depressed living in the past and you get anxious living in the future.
