Coach Kou

Iowa State legend Jamaal Tinsley

Let’s do it Lope Nation❗️

When Luka was in the 7th grade, coaches/parents told me my son should probably try out for the drama or chess club instead of basketball. He was slow, non-athletic, in WADC league and not what AAU was looking for. We didn’t fight the noise, we built a process. Skepticism is oxygen if you know how to breathe it in. Over 20,000 hours of fundamentals, visualization, feedback, and relentless work through his Sr year in college; no one did more. This article features an up and coming sports journalist highlighting the journey, mindset, setbacks, along with the parenting philosophy, and the long road most people don’t know is possible. Thank you, @TannerJPloost 💛🖤💚🍀🦚 @NoaDalzell @BobbyKrivitsky @celtics @CelticsLead @celticslife @celticsblog @

2025-2026 Year 1 Highlights🎬

BREAKING: Angel Reese is headed to the Atlanta Dream. Sources tell me the Atlanta Dream and the Chicago Sky have agreed to a trade.

With Will Wade going back to LSU, one thought is on our mind. Free Book Richardson! #TheCarousel

Ben McCollum: "We just told them, the day after that, unless it's media that's asking you questions, you're not allowed to talk about the Florida game. So, I don't want you to read social media about. I don't want you to drink the poison. We let them talk about it for five minutes in film the other day and they could goof around about all the things that went on. And then right when that five minutes was done, it's done, and we're on to Nebraska."

After recent changes at Creighton, I will be reopening my recruitment. I’m grateful for Coach McDermott and the entire Creighton staff. I’ll continue to evaluate my options moving forward, with Creighton still very much in consideration.

Say it louder. Many coaches sitting at home or looking for jobs don’t understand this.

The Fourth 26-10-5 Game in NCAA Tournament History. Just Another Day for the Kid from Ames. #Cyclones | #C5C | @TaminLipsey

Really like TJ Otzelberger-what an impressive program he has built in Ames. 3rd sweet 16 in 5 years! And has kids that are all about playing for each other! Special culture. @CycloneMBB serious threat in this tournament. Especially with PG Tamin Lipsey leading the way!

I honestly can't say enough for what TJ Otzelberger has done in Ames. 3 Sweet 16's in the last 5 years. Took over a program that was 0-18 in Big 12 play.

Ben McCollum legitimately does not lose. 2026: 23-12 | S16+ 2025: 31-3 | DI R32 2024: 29-5 | DII S16 2023: 31-3 | DII R32 2022: 34-5 | DII Champion 2021: 28-2 | DII Champion 2020: 30-1 | ❌ 2019: 38-0 | DII Champion 2018: 27-4 | DII First Round 2017: 35-1 | DII Champion GOAT.

This is a HEAVY quote here that many people need to hear “If you disappear on a guy when he makes a mistake, I’m not so sure that’s a genuine relationship you built” Let this sink in

Congratulations Amario Aguirre! 🏀 All-State 🏅 - First Team

Nicare Cavil is a pest. He’s been in Colin Rice’s chest ALL GAME! This is a fun one. #Johnston #WaukeeNW #StateTournament #IHSAA

What a basketball life for Rod Strickland. A star at Truman HS in The Bronx. An All-American at DePaul. Nearly two decades in the NBA as a player. And now as a coach, leads LIU to the NCAA Tournament. America!
