If you are a HS coach that dresses like a July AAU coach you undermine our profession! Pull your pants up, tuck in your shirt & tie your shoes. ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ

Unexpected surprise this a.m. from 2 of my players for our Locker room. They made this in plumbing class out of copper pipe and plexiglass. They said we would like to start a new tradition & have Srs. sign it each year on senior night. Great idea! Proud of Davion & Korey

Society says kids have changed. Kids havenโt changed. Adults have changed. We (coaches) need to raise the bar not lower it & not accept less than their best! Years ago, I had a boss who always said โWhat is tolerated becomes the normโ We shouldnโt tolerate less than their best!
(1 of 5) Season Reflection: The abrupt ending to a tremendous season is never easy. It was hard to see the emotion & pain in eyes of 12 young people who have been successful & deserved to keep playing. From where this group came from a year ago, during a Covid shortened season to
Final score from the 1st Annual 6th/7th region senior All Star game:

Bus Driver Marty Saling who drives our team to most road games. Heโs a kind generous man who truly loves his job & cares about our kids. Marty doesnโt have Twitter but Iโm sure someone will share with him. Thanks Marty from our team!

The success of a head coach is dependent on talented players & loyal assistant coaches who buy into the vision of the program & work hard daily to reach collective goals. Iโm blessed to have both! Without them, this award is not possible. Thank you Iroquois Players & Staff ๐

It is with deep sadness that I share the loss of a GREAT friend. Charlie Haydon (Bub) has been on my staff for 21 years but heโs been so much more. Heโs the most loyal person Iโve ever known with such a good heart. NO ONE loved HS ๐ more than him.
Pre Game Meal at Cracker Barrel in Corbin. When we left, the manager said we get teams all the time & often they are not well behaved but your kids were the BEST we have seen! Well done guys!

In 2005 I coached Kentuckyโs Mr. Basketball at a Louisville HS. At the time of the award he had not made his college selection. The runner up for the award had already committed to Kentucky. I do NOT subscribe to the theory that a UK commit always wins the award no matter what ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ
Starting year 25 as a Head Coach today! This year things look a little different than normal...but we will do the best we can under the circumstances. We will control what we can control!

Unfortunately, itโs a drawback of playing so much AAU. Lose at 2 play again at 4. Lose at 4 play again at 6, Come in 3rd in pool play & then advance to bracket play. It devalues winning! When we were in HS & played pickup if u lost u had to sit long time! Winning was important
It was an honor to be involved with the 2023 KY All Stars. It was great working with the most talented players in KY as well as Coach Drake & Coach Stinnett. I look to coaching the 2024 SR All Stars! Thanks to Scott Chalk & his team for the opportunity!
It was a privilege for Iroquois to honor Alum

@KABCoaches
To win an award like thisโฆ you must have great players & a great coaching staff that works tirelessly. Iโm blessed and fortunate to have both. Proud of my guys for what they have done. Itโs a joy to coach them daily.
During my teamโs trip to Maysville this week for a tournament, I got to spend couple hours with Unforgettable Deron Feldhaus. Been a friend over 30 years since our college days! The older I get, the more special these times are ๐
