Andy Stark

Excellent hire! Sharp mind, LOYAL, and a great human. Congrats @cnickschmidt - to crush it my guy!

@AsteriosKalivas This is great insight! So many people get this confused

Sad part of basketball analytics in 2026: After 20+ years, analysts still treat a shot and a possession as the same thing. A shot = one event. A possession = the chain. It can hold 0 shots (TOV, drawn foul), 1 shot, or 3 (offensive rebounds). It can include the pass that created the actual scoring shot — which the "play type" then credits to someone else. The shot is not the possession. Until the discourse separates them, the analysis stays a decade behind the game it's trying to explain. #EuroLeague #Basketball #Analytics

@HoopIndustry @Westminster_MBB @David_Richards4 @David_Richards4 is a wizard

Love this set from one of the best coached D3 teams in the nation. @Westminster_MBB @David_Richards4

@coachwcabrera If I had a son and he did not have a scholarship offer he would be headed to Richard Bland CC tomorrow. There is NOTHING TO WAIT ON!

Secondly I Sat at two events and the amount of 2026’s parents and prospects telling the coaches sitting at their courts which were (NOT a lot) they’re “waiting” is astonishing. You have nothing but you’re WAITING and coaches are INTERESTED . Major mistake in today’s landscape.

Here is the issue for 2026’s “waiting” and not seriously considering NCAA Division 2/3 or Junior College The portal has closed so those guys in the portal are now responding for opportunities which are potentially “yours” If you’re “waiting” you may be waiting a while… Cont’d

Happy Acro National Championsip Day for those who celebrate!

The number of elite D2/D3 head coaches choosing to move into D1 assistant roles says a lot about where the game is headed. The ecosystem has shifted. Resources, stability, and long term upside are driving decisions now.

Send those Pitt Jam Fest schedules! @DYouvilleMBB will have our staff there! Good luck to all the players! #FeedTheDawgs

Amazing! History Makers! Can’t wait to see this program continues to progress #FeedTheDawgs

Happy Birthday to my Dad! It has been so fun being able to do this together! Love you! #FeedTheDawgs

@PolacheckKSR @KSRonX I’m a big NC State fan now!

Breaking: Alvin Brooks III is set to join Justin Gainey's staff at NC State, sources tell KSR. Brooks spent the last two seasons as Kentucky's associate head coach under Mark Pope. on3.com/teams/kentucky…

@ckezmarsky1 We need more CK's in this world! Feels like yesterday we were ripping it up at the Final 4! Hope you're well my guy

@Coach_AndyStark Definitely makes sense!! There’s a lot of bad people in the agency world right now that couldn’t care less about the kid if we’re being honest! Those guys are incapable of doing the right thing/caring

This has happened a couple times now but a d2 or even d1 kid who averages 1 PPG and under 5 minutes will tell our staff, “All my recruitment goes through my agent” Wild times

@ckezmarsky1 In a lot of facets of people going through agencies it also has really streamlined communication processes and recruiting in my opinion has become much more honest. Lots of good things with good agents and agencies as well. Definitely not all bad.

@ckezmarsky1 CK totally get what you're saying. I was saying that when all the recruiting goes through the agent and we can't talk to the recruit - they should know a little on the kids background

@CoachKyleConley 100%

@Coach_AndyStark Same Coach. The reality is that 95% of D2 guys entering portal no matter how many points they scored, DO NOT need an agent. A large % of the D1 don’t either.

But let’s be clear. The long-term win is the degree. Basketball can open doors, but education changes lives. These young men need more than promises and placement. They need guidance, development, and a real plan to graduate. That part cannot get lost.

Some of these so-called agents do not even know their clients’ GPA or what they are majoring in. Yes, the goal is to win. Yes, the goal is to help young men chase their dreams and earn pro contracts.

Buffalo NY let’s do it! @Coach_AndyStark
