Life Update 💍

Having reffed both sports at a very high level, I can tell you that the atmosphere in basketball and dealing with coaches is very different. It’s all game long, a constant back and forth, and there is a mutual understanding between basketball refs and coaches. It’s part of what makes reffing it so much fun. I’m happy that Roger Ayers (who always referees games at a Final Four level) handled the end of the game the way that he did. This was not a confrontational situation. Uconn hit a buzzer beater a few seconds before the viral moment between Ayers and Hurley. Ayers is telling Hurley that the game isn’t over yet (there was a clock adjustment from 0.02 to 0.04 - which is notable for catch and shoot). Hurley isn’t physically contacting him, he’s just between Ayers and the scorer’s table. I’ve been in some wild environments/end of game scenarios both in basketball and football. They feel surreal and you are in a state of shock to an extent. This is how great officials handle these situations, so kudos to Roger Ayers and congrats to UConn.

@GoodmanHoops Coach Marty is an elite defensive mind and tactician!

New Eastern Michigan head coach Billy Donlon has retained Carlos McMath, and added Marty McGillan (Longwood), Hassan Nizam (Cal State Fullerton) and Vince Fritz (USC Upstate).

In the most stacked draft class in awhile, Acaden Lewis stands out to me as the most underrated. This kid is deadly.

Chucky Hepburn rolled his ankle in 2022. Lost to James Madison in 2024. Tough loss to BYU last year by two --- Tonje had a good look. This is March.

Just a random 5pm after school 20 years ago. > Backpack on the floor > TV on > No notifications > No pressure > Just time You had to be there to understand.

What an incredible job Navy first-year head coach Jon Perry has done. Navy beat Lehigh tonight to improve to 14-1 in Patriot league play and win its first outright regular season title since 1997.

Jalen Pickett was TOUGH at Siena!

Mikal Bridges goes off script in his post game presser, speaking on working to be more "coachable" and attributed some of his struggles to a sense of "entitlement". The self awareness is welcomed. Very interesting perspective.
