We’re excited to share that we’re expecting our first child! We have been prayerfully trying and waiting for 6 years for this blessing. We know first-hand just how hard pregnancy announcements can be to those wrestling w/ infertility. We hope our story brings hope. 🙏🏼❤️ 3/28/24
Biggest takeaway from the State Tournament so far: WAY too many guards that can’t shoot the ball. The ability to shoot is earned by punching that clock and putting in the sweat equity. It’s not an equal opportunity sport. Are you a shot maker or shot taker? 🤷🏼♂️

Hard to believe it’s over. As echoed in our locker room yesterday, I will never forget this team, szn, or the last few wks. My 1st NCAA tourney couldn’t have happened w/ a more special group of men. Nikki & I found a home in the

God is good! Meet David Tot Nedbalek III, aka Trae!
Little man decided to make his entrance to the world a few weeks early! Gods timing was perfect though. I was scheduled be on a flight to South Dakota less than 24 hours later. The conference tourney looked a little different
So grateful for the brotherhood of

Got my 2.23 in. Hard to process living in a🌎that operates with so much hurt, and confusion. As a white guy I don’t always know how to respond, & know that I can’t understand living with the fear that many of our brothers/sisters do daily.

Thanks to all who prayed yesterday! What a miracle that Nikki’s grandparents and the other driver all walked away from this. God is good! Thank you for praying with us!
Always learn a tremendous amount listening to
@Topp33
speak. Incredibly knowledgable, passionate, and humble. One of the best in the business. Grateful for you brother! Hope all is well! A couple quotes and notes from his clinic today:
Just a saw kid get shoved in the back on an offensive rebound and the other team kicked it out for a 3PA and instead of throwing his hands up or complaining to the ref he re-boxed out the same kid again and got an over the back call against him. Rare!

@WonderTheMovie
is a must. Its been heavy on my heart lately to be more intentional w/ how I treat everyone I encounter. Getting outside of my selfishness enough to discover other people & their stories is an extremely fulfilling task. Tear jerker but an incredibly uplifting film
Couldn’t be happier for Coach Copeland. Gave me my start in this business and I will be forever grateful! One of the most disciplined, dedicated, and honorable men I know. A true family man who loves the Lord! An example to all who are blessed to know him!

@hornets
great pick & pop set for a stretch big. Intentionally poor spacing on the strong side to set up the double gap for Kaminsky on the pop for either shot or drive.

Happy thanksgiving from our family to yours! It’s easy to lose sight of all we have to be grateful for. This year has been pretty special to our family. Grateful for new jobs, friends, and our little man on the way! Last thanksgiving as a family of two!
Rejecting the ballscreen is always the first option. Most coverages are designed to come off screen.
Pack does an excellent job of getting his body into TJD then using the extended finish
Just finished my first week with
@CoachLWilson
. Incredibly excited for the direction of the program under his leadership. He is an intentional investor in people even in such busy times. His example is a powerful mentor. Blessed to be able to work under a man with his character.
Got the best surprise in the mail today! I’ll say it till I can’t, the
@PGCbasketball
family is DIFFERENT! What a thoughtful gift! Such a great reminder for us to teach little Trae ball to be a light to Schape the world around him. How thoughtful! Got some growing to do!

Not that the ref could see this - 0.1 seconds on clock already full contact. Right call whether or not the ref was guessing. Tough job for the ref.
Happy cake day to my guy

This is why my film work takes 3x longer than it should. Side note: some of the best X's & O's in the game is in the WNBA (don't @ me). These ladies can hoop, and these coaches can coach.
#Sharethegame
Starting point: be great at the things that require NO skill! Talk, get touches, give reminders, bring energy, stay engaged on sideline, give eye contact during instruction, master your use of tone w/ teammates. Make it impossible to not be drawn to you by your volume and energy!
Recruiting Advice 101: guards outnumber bigs by a ratio that is nearly unbelievable. There are going to be A LOT of guards that don’t get looks. You have to do something to separate yourself from the pack!
Our staff is out on the road looking to grow the family! Best of luck to everyone hooping this weekend! Trust the process and handle business the right way and they’ll find you! Follow our staff and show them some love!

I vouch first-hand for those 4am calls
@SolomonBozeman
! Usually followed by, “You sleep?!??!!!” or, “You quit??”. My guy is a WORKER. They say you can tell your future by the people in your circle. Lets just say I’m glad Coach Solo’s in mine.😤😤
THANKFUL: for my wife! She is supportive beyond belief and is a constant encouragement to me daily! WIN: great first workouts today with the team and our staff. I AM: adaptable, anticipatory, and always seeking to add value!

My man saved the ball, ended up behind the bench on the opposite side of the floor and then sprinted back to help side in time to contest the 3PA in the opposite corner.
