I’ve been worried at how upset my 7-yr old has been with me for not letting him stay up for the games, turns out the NBA commissioner is now taking some heat too
Really cool response from NBA commissioner Adam Silver to Riley’s request for earlier game times. What a great way to engage a young fan and its part of why he is the best commissioner and leader in pro sports.
Some tears and hard life lessons exchanged last night, but today’s outfit choice was pretty easy. I hope every time he actually puts away his laundry or throws something away it still comes with a “Kobe!” as he shoots it.

Yesterday was amazing; so comforting to see family, staff, and other familiar faces. And excited to see some new special ones too. Let’s get to work!

Every time I’m at an airport alone I get jealous of parents traveling w their kids; but when I travel with my kids I’m pretty sure I get jealous of those traveling alone. 🤷♂️

October 15 still ingrained in my head as the only day that can rival Christmas morning. Good luck to all the Division 3 coaches and players getting started today— there is some elite basketball being played with outstanding coaches at that level.
No one better to get lost with on an early morning stroll through Vienna. After an accidental 8-miler she’s still talking to me, and now I get to be her assistant coach for our game in Bratislava.
@CoachJRadice
Loyal, Supportive, and FUN. So pumped to now have the full staff down in Richmond; I love these guys like I love my family.
And pretty cool that we don't even have to change the staff group text.

spoke about how important it was to get the five seniors a second shot at the

tournament.
And now we're less than two hours from game time!

Incredibly proud to be her coach. Amazing player in every sense and an amazing story of growth over her 4 years. A well-deserved achievement Kate Walker!!
So great seeing Bucknell’s all-time leading rebounder,

Fun and entertaining night having this crew over for dinner to hand out last season’s championship rings. Today, we start official preseason practice with Richmond WBB— beyond pumped for this new journey!
Fun team meeting tonight with a group that is full of great energy. Love that they hit it off so well with my family already! Tune in Thursday for the official start of our time with the Spiders.
Remarkably kind and classy gesture by

An incredibly fun group to coach and watch this weekend!
A special shoutout to our assistant coaches and all support staff; organizing, prepping and winning 3 games in 3 days is incredibly tough (but rewarding!!).
GREAT day for

yesterday! Wins are great, road wins are even better, but the best days are when you get news of weddings, births, and job acceptances/promotions. So proud!
Two pretty incredible achievements in this picture.
@Bucknell_WBB
seniors hit 100 career wins, a new Patriot League record. It’s been a true honor to coach this class.
Very enjoyable watching these guys from the sidelines yesterday. This group plays with incredible energy and was so fun to watch! Hats off to the players and coaches for the incredible improvement over the last few weeks.
2 favorite stats from yesterday:
* 9 different players made a 3-pointer
* 23 of the 27 field goals were assisted
Great team effort led to a big conference road win!
Lots of reflection lately about this unbelievable day. Extreme sadness for those that perished, grateful for those who selflessly prevented it from being worse & hopeful that we can again be as unified as we all were in the immediate aftermath of this tragedy.
#NeverForget
We hang on for a 62-58 win! That's eight in a row as we improve to 18-4 overall and 9-1 in the Patriot League.
That's our best record at this point in the season in program history!
#rayBucknell
My mother-in-law would have loved to have seen the toughness and resilience of this group in person tonight. They made the choice at halftime to put the past behind them and come and ball in the 2nd Half. Big-time Win!
A great feature on a top-level student-athlete, teammate and human being. Couldn't be more proud of Kate and thankful for her positive influence on our program, university and my family.

Unbelievably sad week; it’s been crushing to see and hear what has happened and the emotions it brings out of those that have been affected. Change needs to happen now; you’re either helping or hurting the problem—there is no middle ground.
A program career record for Kaitlyn Slagus!! She has been an outstanding rebounder for four years, her toughness and willingness to do the dirty work is a huge part of our success. So proud!
Just an awesome experience in Sojka last night; so happy, pumped and proud of our men's basketball staff, team, and supporters. Talent, chemistry and drive are there for an NCAA run.

Very proud of our Bucknell team for being one of 55 teams to receive an APR award! Great group that got it done on the court and in all other aspects of their lives.
Had a blast with this group and am incredibly proud of how hard they worked this summer. They attacked this opportunity with an amazing attitude and without any whining or complaining. “Focus on the donut, not the hole”
Lots of growth from this group over the last two weeks; today it’s about making lemonade from lemons while stuck in Binghamton for the night.

This is BIG TIME!! Every member of our program gave a gift; it shows what this program means to us, our appreciation for what we get, and sets a great example. It feels amazing to work with and for a such a special group. 🕷️❤️
Outstanding accomplishment for Kyi! Incredibly proud of her development and how she leads our team. A dynamic scorer at her position, but she does so much more than that. Proud to be her coach!
So happy and fortunate to be able to play a game today. A huge shoutout to everyone who did so much to get us to this point—administrators, athletic training staff and especially our players. Let’s get this journey started!
