The 10 Truths Parents Rarely See 1. Coaches lose sleep. 2. Decisions aren’t personal. 3. Playing time is complex. 4. Culture matters more than stats. 5. Accountability is care. 6. Coaches invest emotionally. 7. Development isn’t instant. 8. Hard feedback is intentional. 9. Wins don’t tell the whole story. 10. Coaches remember kids forever. Perspective matters.

Pearl Dickson | 6’4 C A defensive wall. 🧱 With Pearl in the paint, the Bears held opponents under 43 PPG. Mobile, long, and dominant. Only 6 teams all year cracked 50 points against this defense. A force to be reckoned with! @NEPSGBCA @xavieraallen

@TweetsbyCoachP If she was a lock, $30k would have not been spent.

30 THOUSAND DOLLARS!!!!!! A basketball mom that follows me here on X just sent me this and gave me permission to post it: “My daughters travel season is underway and this is her last year. Based on what we’ve been told to expect this year and everything I’ve spent up to this point throughout her years (I have all receipt’s), I’ll be in over 30k for her travel basketball experience and she doesn’t have a single scholarship offer. We’ve been told by everyone including coaches, evaluators, and everyone in between she was lock for one. Can you help me understand how so many people could be so wrong?”

This is what a black person sounds like when they’re well educated well informed and not ignorant.

Remember when Google dropped this Black History Month commercial in 2020? That’s what honoring Black history looks like, telling the truth loudly, not sanitizing it when it makes people uncomfortable. Happy Black History Month.

This aged like fine wine

8th grader 6’7 Serwah Banahene (@SerwahBanahene) will be one of the nations top prospects during her HS years. She displayed her shot blocking ability as well as her touch around the rim at @NYGHoops Garden State New Years Ball. @NJLadiesHoops @xavieraallen @CastleAthletic2

Best explanation I’ve heard about US interests in Venezuela today. P.S. She recorded this over 2 weeks ago.

Get to know Taylor Barbot, @CofCWBB floor general and just the third player in program history to record a triple-double in the latest episode of Cougars Uncaged presented by @MUSChealth ⤵️ #TheCollege 🌴

Good way to end non-conference play — now the real chapters begin!

And so it begins. College basketball gives you just a few precious years — make them count and enjoy the journey, babygirl. 💙🏀

If I send you this, just know I’m about to overcome incredible odds
