2019-2020 schedule

🏀 Wichita State head coach Paul Mills demonstrates the 10 minute shooting drill they ended practice with every day while he was at Baylor that led them to lead the nation in 3pt shooting % and also win a national championship that same season.

Kelvin Sampson shares what separates good programs from great ones. It comes down to 3 things. "The best teams come from the coaching staffs that are the best demanders. There are certain non-negotiables." "We're not going to sit down and talk about this...This is the way it's done and we expect this effort." No debate. No negotiation. Just the standard. "And those eventually will be called standards. So - standards, accountability, and then we've raised our expectations." "Here's our expectations, and our expectation is probably a little bit higher than most people's. We don't talk about them." The standard is how you operate every day. "We practiced this morning at 6:00. Probably our best practice in the last 6 or 7 days. But that's because our standards are raising. Our kids are holding each other accountable now." Then he said the line that defines a great program: "That's when you know you've got a great program." When the players hold each other accountable not just the coaches. That's when you've built something real. The formula is: 1. Standards 2. Accountability 3. Raised Expectations. A great team isn't made of individuals seeking personal glory - it's made of people who hold each other accountable and work towards a common goal (🎥 March Madness)

I have never seen any leftover bacon

I am a high school teacher and a coach. We always need to remember. We don’t know what’s going on in a kids life.

2025-26 @OfficialGHSA 🏀 in the 📚 A very different season this year, but the end result the same — terrific basketball capped off in Macon. Thank you to all the coaches, players, parents, fans & media that assist in helping me cover the state!

Recruits the one question that comes up from 4 Year coaches other than character and GPA questions is Can they defend? Can they guard? Prioritize that side of the ball (defense) and you give yourself a chance at the next level!

Great high school player too.

I’m a champion & a competitor, so I always want to win more games & C’hips, but I’m proud of the 3 str8 20-win seasons & 93 wins in 5 years, including 57 conference wins. My job as coach is much more than wins, so I’m equally proud of our off-court success. Those matter more…

I live in a cul-de-sac. My neighbor, Mrs. Gable, is 82. She’s grumpy. She yells if a ball rolls on her lawn. She keeps to herself. Last week, I noticed her blinds hadn't opened in two days. I went over and knocked. No answer. I tried the door. Unlocked. I found her in the kitchen. She had fallen. She was conscious, but weak. She’d been there for 24 hours. I called 911. I sat with her until they came. "I didn't want to bother anyone," she whispered. "I'm just a cranky old woman." "You're my neighbor," I said. She went to the hospital for a week. While she was gone, I mowed her lawn. My wife planted flowers in her planters. The kids made "Welcome Home" signs. When the ambulance brought her back, she saw the yard. She didn't yell about the grass. She cried. Yesterday, a ball rolled onto her lawn. She walked out, picked it up, and tossed it back to my son. "Nice arm, kid," she yelled. She’s not the grumpy neighbor anymore. She’s Alice. Check on your neighbors. Even the grumpy ones. Especially the grumpy ones. Anonymous

Coached against him when he was a player at NA in the early 90s and as a coach when he was at Aiken and NA. Tony has always been a competitor and a winner ! Congrats !!

Don’t just take my word 🗣️

Sure is

𝑯𝑰𝑺𝑻𝑶𝑹𝒀 The Trojans win their first SAC Tournament title in program history, downing Catawba 78-75 in the title game. AJ Wright Jr. earns MVP honors.

Thank you for the kind words my brother & more importantly pouring into me during your time at Ga State when I was a HS Coach then on your rival coaching staff at GA Southern. Still to this day I appreciate our honest constant communication @CoachESully

Me llamaron de la escuela de mi hijo de 16 años. Pensé que sería por sus notas. Siempre fueron mediocres. Pero el director me pidió que me sentara. Luego puso un video de las cámaras del estacionamiento. Mi hijo estaba con tres amigos. Había un chico nuevo. Un chico delgado. Con una bicicleta vieja. Uno de los amigos de mi hijo dijo: —¿Eso todavía se usa? Risas. Mi hijo tomó la bicicleta. La levantó. Y la tiró contra el suelo. Dos veces. Luego otra vez. El chico solo miraba. Sin decir nada. Cuando terminó el video, el director suspiró. —La bicicleta era lo único que tenía para venir a la escuela. No dije nada. Solo asentí. En el carro, mi hijo iba tranquilo. Mirando su teléfono. Le pregunté: —¿Rompiste la bicicleta de un compañero? Se rió. —Era una chatarra. Llegamos a casa. Le pedí su celular. —¿Qué? —Dámelo. También le pedí las llaves de su moto. La moto que le regalé el año pasado. Se quedó mirándome. —¿Hablas en serio? Al día siguiente hicimos algo. Fuimos a una tienda de bicicletas. Compré una nueva. Buena. $900. Luego fuimos a la casa del chico. Mi hijo cargaba la bicicleta. Tocó la puerta. Cuando el chico abrió, mi hijo no sabía qué decir. Yo sí. —Mi hijo rompió la tuya. Le entregué la nueva. El chico parecía confundido. Mi hijo murmuró: —Perdón. Pensé que ahí terminaría todo. Pero no. Cuando salimos, le dije algo más a mi hijo. —La moto se vende mañana. Se quedó congelado. —¿Qué? —Para pagar esta bicicleta. Se enojó. Gritó. Dijo que era injusto. Que fue solo una broma. Hoy vendí la moto. Mi hijo no me habla. Mi exesposa dice que lo humillé. Que exageré. Que solo era una bicicleta vieja. Pero ayer vi algo raro. Mi hijo salió temprano de casa. Caminando. Treinta minutos después pasó frente a mí en la calle. Iba con el chico de la bicicleta nueva. Los dos caminaban al colegio. Hablando. No sé si hice lo correcto. Pero por primera vez… mi hijo no iba riéndose de alguien. Iba caminando con él. ¿Le di una lección necesaria… o crucé un límite como padre?

Trojans MARCH ON!! Anderson downs Lincoln Memorial to advance to the Championship game tomorrow at 4 pm. Five players score in double figures for AU who earns win number 28 on the season!

Underrated coaching truth: The best coaches aren’t obsessed with talent. They’re obsessed with effort. With attitude. With toughness. That’s what wins when it gets hard.

Yessir!!
